Illicit drug detection is entering a transformative era, driven by the convergence of electrochemical sensing, nanomaterials engineering, and artificial intelligence. Traditional analytical approaches, despite their precision, are increasingly misali...
On-site multidrug sensing remains challenging due to the complexity of real samples and the differing detection requirements of individual substances. In the current study, we present successful electrochemical multidrug detection that overcomes thes...
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) continue to be a significant threat to the integrity of human and equine sports. Besides conventional direct testing, monitoring the biomarkers associated with the effects of ESAs may provide a complementary a...
BACKGROUND: Although recreational drug use is a strong risk factor for acute cardiovascular events, systematic testing is currently not performed in patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units, with a risk of underdetection. To address this iss...
In this article, our aim is to show why increasing the effectiveness of detecting doping fraud in sport by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) may be morally wrong. The first argument in favour of this conclusion is that using AI to make a non-id...
With the growing global challenge of drug abuse, there is an urgent need for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective drug detection methods. This study introduces an innovative approach to drug abuse screening by quickly detecting ephedrine (EPH) in tear...
