Gender differences in the pharmacokinetics of ethanol in saliva and blood after oral ingestion.
The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of ethanol in saliva and blood according to gender and to evaluate the determination of ethanol in saliva for evidential sobriety testing. Twenty-four persons, 12 men and 12 women, took part in the experiments. The subjects received ethanol, as neat 40% v/v vodka, in the amount which should lead according to Widmark formula to the blood ...
متن کاملRelation between serum and whole-blood ethanol concentrations.
An algorithm is suggested for interpretation of serum ethanol concentrations under legal statutes that specify whole-blood alcohol concentrations. The algorithm uses the distribution of individual serum:whole-blood alcohol concentration ratios to allow calculations at various levels of confidence that can be related to legal standards of evidence. Serum:whole-blood alcohol concentration ratios ...
متن کاملConcentration-time profiles of gamma-hydroxybutyrate in blood after recreational doses are best described by zero-order rather than first-order kinetics.
The recreational drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has a short plasma elimination half-life (t(1/2)) reported to be about 30-50 min. However, this represents a terminal half-life and therefore might not necessarily apply after large (abuse) doses are taken. Clinical studies with sodium oxybate (sodium salt of GHB) suggest that zero-order rather than first-order kinetics are more appropriate to d...
متن کاملDoes Ingestion of Tincture of Opium Notably Raise Blood Alcohol Concentration?
Background: Tincture of opium (TOP) is currently used for maintenance therapy in treatment of opioids addiction. It contains ethanol. The present study was conducted to assess the increase in blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in its users; a process which may interfere with breath-alcohol test performed by law enforcement or traffic police. Methods: A total of 143 individuals were selected rand...
متن کاملAlcohol related falls: an interesting pattern of injuries.
OBJECTIVE To discover if there is a significant difference in the pattern and severity of injury sustained during falls in patients who have consumed alcohol and those who have not. To determine how pattern and severity of injury correlates with blood alcohol concentration. METHOD A prospective quasi-randomised controlled study between November 2001 and July 2002. All healthy adults between 1...
