Brain tissue may be a valuable specimen in interpretation of postmortem toxicology. The protected and isolated position of the brain eliminates or at least attenuates many of the interpretive challenges with postmortem blood specimens. This study presents data for 30 drug and drug metabolites in cases submitted to the Sedgwick County Regional Forensic Science Center for autopsy examination from...

There has been an extensive discussion in the forensic toxicology community regarding the effect of trauma on the enzymatic method for ethanol analysis. There is a paucity of information in the literature that addresses this question. This study was designed to compare the Dade Behring Dimension enzymatic method with the reliable gas chromatographic method. The blood samples collected at the sa...

Undertaking toxicological analysis in clinical and post-mortem investigations can assist to determine the extent of drug contribution compliance, impairment, toxicity potentially death. The overlap blood concentrations following consumption be significant relying solely on a ‘number’ whether or not is therapeutic toxic difficult. Some poisons will at any measurable concentration, but for vast m...

The extreme toxicity of cyanide, its wide industrial application as well as its continued illegal use generate research interest in different fields of science, imposing multidisciplinary approach to study cyanide poisoning. This review presents new data about cyanide exposure, toxicology, and antidote development. Cyanide concerned research in environmental and forensic sciences along with med...

A supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) procedure for the analysis of temazepam from whole blood was developed. Quantitative recoveries were obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography using prazepam as an internal standard and carefully monitoring the extraction temperature and pressure. The results were found to compare well with those obtained by solid-phase extraction techniques, but ...

The Agilent 7000 GC/QQQ system can provide both high selectivity and high sensitivity for the analysis of drugs. Low-level detection and confirmation of large numbers of target drugs in blood extracts is possible in a single run. Combined with information from a single quadrupole screening instrument like the Agilent GC/NPD/MSD/DRS system, a much more complete picture of each sample is now poss...
