Mobility-GCN: a human mobility-based graph convolutional network for tracking and analyzing the spatial dynamics of the synthetic opioid crisis in the USA, 2013-2020 [PDF]
Synthetic opioids are the most common drugs involved in drug-involved overdose mortalities in the U.S. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that in 2018, about 70% of all drug overdose deaths involved opioids and 67% of all opioid-involved deaths were accounted for by synthetic opioids.

This report describes the potential of vacuum differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) as an additional separation dimension to reduce liquid chromatography (LC‐MS) analysis time while maintaining good quantitative performance. A 1‐min trap/elute LC‐vDMS‐SIM/MS method for quantification of 11 drugs of abuse was developed and applied to the analysis of ...

In forensic bioanalysis, often multianalyte approaches are used given their increased effectiveness but can be difficult to develop and maintain in the laboratory, for example, in terms of calibrator solution preparation. A fast, simple, and robust liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for the quantification of 82 classic ...
