Use of potentially driver-impairing drugs among older drivers

Sarah Zitoun et al.

Summary: This study investigated the consumption of potentially driver-impairing drugs among older drivers and found associations with chronic pain, depressive disorder, and polypharmacy, while having lower associations with type 2 diabetes and atrial fibrillation. The findings highlight the need for careful assessment of driver-impairing drug prescriptions in the elderly population.

Medical Psychotropics in Forensic Autopsies in European Countries: Results from a Three-Year Retrospective Study in Spain

Maira Almeida-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Medical psychotropics are widely used in developed countries and may induce harmful behaviors. However, studies on their importance from a medico-legal perspective are scarce in Europe. This retrospective study based on forensic autopsy data found that more than 40% of the adult European population involved in medico-legal issues may be under the influence of legal psychotropics, with benzodiazepines being the most frequently detected.

From the clinic to the street: the changing role of benzodiazepines in the Scottish overdose epidemic

A. McAuley et al.

Summary: This article discusses the continuous increase in drug-related deaths in Scotland between 2014 and 2020, with a focus on the role of benzodiazepines. The urgent need for Scotland to expand its harm reduction infrastructure, implement safer drug supply and drug consumption facilities, and address socio-economic inequalities is emphasized.

Toxicological Findings of Self-Poisoning Suicidal Deaths: A Systematic Review by Countries

Giuseppe Davide Albano et al.

Summary: The use of illicit and non-illicit substances in suicides is common, and toxicological data can help understand the mechanism behind deaths. This systematic review found significant differences in substance use between low-income and Western countries, with rural areas and Asian countries primarily using pesticides as poison, while illicit drugs and medically prescribed drugs being the leading cause of self-poisoning suicides in Western countries. Future research should focus on the correlation between social, medical, and demographic characteristics and autopsy findings to highlight risk factors and implement tailored prevention programs globally.

A cross sectional study of psychotropic medicine use in Australia in 2018: A focus on polypharmacy

Jonathan Brett et al.

Summary: The study in Australia revealed a prevalent use of psychotropic medications among older adults, with certain combinations lacking evidence-based support. Further exploration into the driving factors of this potentially inappropriate prescribing is necessary.

Drugs, pesticides and metabolites in forensic post-mortem blood samples

Ettore Ferrari Junior et al.

Summary: Forensic post-mortem toxicological analysis of 111 blood samples from cases investigated by the Forensic Medical Institute of the Federal District in Brazil revealed the presence of illicit and prescription drugs, pesticides, and metabolites. The study utilized a validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for quantitative analysis of 14 analytes, with screening for an additional 19 substances of forensic interest. Results showed analytes in 61.2% of samples, with implications for homicide, accidental death, and suicide cases, demonstrating the importance of such toxicological data in determining cause of death.

Significant postmortem diffusion of ethanol: A case report

Valentin Marti et al.

Summary: Ethanol is a frequently encountered xenobiotic in forensic pathology, and determining its concentration in blood after death is important for understanding the level of intoxication and ability to act before death. Understanding postmortem diffusion and redistribution is crucial for interpreting ethanol blood levels accurately, especially when initial blood and urine samples show inconsistencies.

The interplay between pharmacogenetics, concomitant drugs and blood levels of amitriptyline and its main metabolites

Luana Mifsud Buhagiar et al.

Summary: The study found that CYP2C19 genotype status can explain interpatient variability in amitriptyline metabolite concentrations, while patients at high CYP2D6 inhibition risk had average blood drug concentrations 52% above the expected range.

Pharmacogenetics and Forensic Toxicology: A New Step towards a Multidisciplinary Approach

Nunzio Di Nunno et al.

Summary: Pharmacogenetics is a research field that analyzes the individual behavior of DNA genes after drug administration. Recent advancements in genome sequencing and molecular genetics have allowed for the implementation of pharmacogenetic research, which is crucial for clarifying toxicological data in post-mortem examinations and determining causes and modes of death. Several studies emphasize the importance of pharmacogenetics in drug-related deaths, especially in cases where drug abuse does not lead to overdoses.

Simple implementation of muscle tissue into routine workflow of blood analysis in forensic cases-A validated method for quantification of 29 drugs in postmortem blood and muscle samples by UHPLC-MS/MS

Stine Lund Hansen et al.

Summary: A method for quantifying toxicological drugs and metabolites in postmortem muscle tissue was developed and validated, with a validation of whole blood for comparison. Automatic solid-phase extraction was used to improve efficiency and accuracy. The method showed acceptable precision and accuracy for both blood and muscle tissue samples.

Benzodiazepine and Z-Drug Use in Switzerland: Prevalence, Prescription Patterns and Association with Adverse Healthcare Outcomes

Salome Landolt et al.

Summary: This study is the first to provide a nationwide overview of the prevalence and prescription patterns of benzodiazepines and Z-drugs in Switzerland based on health insurance claims data. The results revealed a remarkably high prevalence among the general Swiss population, especially in older generations. The negative consequences of heavy BZ and ZD use are a crucial health issue that should be addressed.

The prevalence of alcohol and other drugs in fatal road crashes in Victoria, Australia

Jennifer Schumann et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the presence of alcohol and other drugs in fatal road trauma in Victoria has shown specific changes over time, with a declining trend in alcohol positivity but increasing detection rates of stronger opioids and methylamphetamine. There are variations in drug detection rates among different road users, indicating a concerning trend in road safety.
