UHPLC‐QTOFMS Urine Drug Screening With Dilute‐and‐Shoot Sample Preparation and Vacuum‐Insulated Probe‐Heated Electrospray Ionization

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
The new ionization technique, vacuum‐insulated probe‐heated electrospray, allows for a simple dilute‐and‐shoot sample preparation to be used with liquid chromatography time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry in urine drug screening. Comparison with a method relying on solid‐phase extraction and conventional electrospray ionization shows improved performance ...

Deaths caused by medication in persons not using illicit narcotic drugs: An autopsy study from Western Denmark

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 132, Issue 1, Page 111-119, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Information regarding deaths caused by poisoning or adverse effects of medication in Danish persons not using illicit narcotic drugs (PNUIDs) is sparse. To characterize aetiology, demographics, and death scene, we reviewed all legal autopsies performed at Aarhus University from 2017 to 2019 and isolated 96 deaths caused by medications in ...
