Determination of new psychoactive substances and other drugs in postmortem blood and urine by UHPLC-MS/MS: method validation and analysis of forensic samples.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to validate a modified QuEChERS method followed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to determine 79 new psychoactive substances (NPS) and other drugs in blood and urine.

A fatal case involved in pyrethroid insecticide ingestion: quantification of tetramethrin and resmethrin in body fluids of a deceased by LC-MS/MS.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: The quantification of parent molecules of pyrethroids tetramethrin and resmethrin in human specimens by a mass spectrometry (MS) technique has not been reported yet. A woman in her 60s was found dead in a wasteland. At the scene, an empty be...

Human and rat microsomal metabolites of N-tert-butoxycarbonylmethamphetamine and its urinary metabolites in rat.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: N-tert-Butoxycarbonylmethamphetamine (BocMA), a masked derivative of methamphetamine (MA), converts into MA under acidic condition and potentially acts as a precursor to MA following ingestion. To investigate the metabolism and excretion of ...

Ropinirole involved in a fatal case: blood and urinary concentrations.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: Ropinirole is an antiparkinsonian  drug and has recently been suggested to be effective in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is expected that ropinirole prescriptions will increase in the near future. However, the fatal concentration in bloo...

A case of fatal multidrug intoxication involving flualprazolam: distribution in body fluids and solid tissues.

Forensic toxicology
PURPOSE: Designer benzodiazepines (DBZDs) increasingly emerged on the novel psychoactive substance (NPS) market in the last few years. They are usually sold as readily available alternatives to prescription benzodiazepines (BZDs) or added to counterf...

Prediction of preterm birth based on machine learning using bacterial risk score in cervicovaginal fluid.

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989)
PROBLEM: Preterm birth (PTB) is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality in newborns. The main cause of spontaneous PTB (sPTB) is the activation of an inflammatory response as a result of ascending genital tract infection. Despite various s...

Machine Learning-Assisted Raman Spectroscopy for pH and Lactate Sensing in Body Fluids.

Analytical chemistry
This study presents the combination of Raman spectroscopy with machine learning algorithms as a prospective diagnostic tool capable of detecting and monitoring relevant variations of pH and lactate as recognized biomarkers of several pathologies. The...

Active generation and magnetic actuation of microrobotic swarms in bio-fluids.

Nature communications
In nature, various types of animals will form self-organised large-scale structures. Through designing wireless actuation methods, microrobots can emulate natural swarm behaviours, which have drawn extensive attention due to their great potential in ...

Deep Learning-Assisted Three-Dimensional Fluorescence Difference Spectroscopy for Identification and Semiquantification of Illicit Drugs in Biofluids.

Analytical chemistry
The fast identification and quantification of illicit drugs in biofluids are of great significance in clinical detection. However, existing drug detection strategies cannot fully meet clinical needs, and the on-site identification and quantification ...
