Ethanol Concentration and Its Correlation with CNS Suppressor Drugs in Postmortem Subjects
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Many studies have been done in order to interpret correctly the results of ethanol analysis and its related problems. Unfortunately, it was not easy to determine BAC rate, due to postmortem different conditions or personal and clinical differences in metabolism and excretion of ethanol. The time between death and autopsy, the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) are important factors to be taken into account. Concentration of ethanol in vitreous humor depends on the person’s age, drinking experience and degree of tolerance development. Methods: In this study, concentration of ethanol in vitreous humor was assessed in 100 cases with consumption of CNS suppressor drugs that were detected in urine and tissue. Results: The toxicity of ethanol is often considerably enhanced by the concomitant use of other drugs with their site of action in the brain especially opiates, antidepressants and some sedative hypnotics. Conclusion: Death occurs in low concentration of alcohol consumed simultaneously with CNS suppressor drugs.

Interpretation of Ethanol Analysis in Postmortem Specimens
Since alcohol is a general central nervous system depressant, it affects the motor and cognitive performance. Alcohol abuse is a major cause of medical and social problems. Additionally, to determine cause of death in legal medicine centers, alcohol analysis is the most frequently performed test in forensic toxicology laboratories. Accurate interpretation of ethanol concentration at the time...

In the present investigation, the prevalence of focal lymphocytic adenitis in the submandibular salivary gland was observed in a series of 116 postmortem subjects after suitable exclusions had been made. Focal lymphocytic adenitis could not be demonstrated in the labial salivary glands. The degree of lymphocytic infiltration in the labial salivary glands is positively correlated with the level ...
