Examining the influence of lifestyle variables on the accuracy of skeletal age estimation via the pubic symphysis

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 656-667, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigated links between skeletal age estimation error and lifestyle variables to better elucidate sources of interpersonal variability in the rates of skeletal aging. Skeletal age for 180 individuals from the New Mexico Decedent Image Database was estimated by applying the Suchey–Brooks method and transition analysis to 3D models

Do evaluative statements in facial identification overstate the strength of the evidence?

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 799-810, March 2026.
Abstract Facial identification examiners assess whether two facial images—such as an image of an unknown person from surveillance footage and a controlled image of a known individual—depict the same person or different people. To communicate their observations, they rely on predefined verbal articulation scales that sometimes have associated numeric ...

Association Between Levels of the Acute Phase Proteins Alpha‐1‐Acid Glycoprotein and C‐Reactive Protein and Serum Concentrations of Clozapine: A Study of 1106 Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Samples

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 138, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Several publications have reported elevated clozapine concentrations in patients experiencing infections or inflammatory reactions. Proposed mechanisms include increased levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines that may inhibit clozapine metabolism and enhanced binding of clozapine to the acute phase protein alpha‐1‐acid glycoprotein (AGP).

Exploring the Utility and Appropriateness of Dose Thresholds for Issuing of Public Drug Alerts on High‐Dose MDMA: A Qualitative Study

open access: yesDrug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Drug alerts are sometimes issued when samples are found to exceed a pre‐determined dose threshold. In Australia, it is common for alerts to be issued when MDMA pills contain ≥ 150 mg of MDMA free‐base or 179 mg hydrochloride. Nineteen such alerts were issued in Australia in 2024, raising concerns that repeat alerts may lose impact
