At the heart of any mass spectrometer is the mass analyzer. This component takes the ionized masses and separates them based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Mass analyzers are instrumental components in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and various scientific disciplines that require precise and accurate determination of molecular masses. After samples are ionized in a source box, the mass analyzer separates the ions according to their m/z value. The most common mass spectrometer is the quadrupole (QP) type, which is ideal as a practical and inexpensive instrument because of its compactness, easy operation, easy maintenance, high sensitivity, fast scan rate, and moderate vacuum requirement........

Keywords : mass analyzers, time of flight, quadrupole, ion trap.

Background Information: Awareness of PCOS among public is minimum, surveys and studies focused on assessing PCOS and patient perceptions in the Indian setting are very limited. Objective: To Assess the Risk factors and KAP associated with PCOS in a community. Materials and Methods: an observation study conducted in community of Mysore, Hassan and Mandya for 5 months. Females of age group (12 -55 years), who can understand, answer questionnaire and who are willing to participate in the study were included. Severe illness patient, not cooperative and pregnant women were excluded. KAP questionnaire consists6 of 11 knowledge......

This study explored the relationship between leadership style preference and motivation in young adults. The sample size was 100 and the data was collected using convenience sampling. The study aimed to address the research gap of how different leadership styles affect different types of motivation. The study used a correlational method to examine the variables without interference. The study results gave insights that leadership style preference has a positive significant relationship with motivation in young adults.

N-octyl cinnamic is a compound that has potential as a drug as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, but is constrained by the nature of n-octyl cinnamate which is difficult to dissolve in water, causing low bioavailability in the systemic circulation. To overcome this problem, curcumin is formulated in the form of nanoparticles using chitosan polymer, a derivative of chitin which can be obtained from crab and shrimp shell waste. This study aims to synthesize n-octyl cinnamic nanoparticles using a simple coating method using chitosan and sodium alginate and to evaluate the stability of the nanoparticles in vitro........

Key Word: Nanoparticle, Anti-inflammatory, n-octyl cyanamate/Alginate/chitosan, Synthesis.

The role of pharmacists in diabetes management, including patient identification, assessment, education, referral, and monitoring, is described. Pharmacists can help identify patients with diabetes through screening and should target patients at high risk, people with a family history of the disease, and women with a history of gestational diabetes or who delivered a baby weighing more than nine pounds. Patient education should be provided immediately after diagnosis, at a second stage at which time a patient assessment can be performed, and at a third stage during which patients can receive continuing education to reinforce concepts and a motivational boost. One of the pharmacist's most important roles is the referral.........
