چکیده مقاله:

Drug abuse is a serious problem causing health, economical and psycho-social negative outcomes. Methadone is commonly used drug for management of drug addiction. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a promising non-invasive biological sample which attracted more attention in recent years. This work aimed to extend the applicability of a developed preconcentration – liquid chromatographic method for analysis of methadone in serum and urine samples. Drug concentrations in EBC, serum and urine are also investigated for dose-concentration and their inter-correlations. Biological samples were collected from 53 patients receiving methadone and the concentrations were determined using a validated analytical method after a pre-concentration step. Methadone measured in all samples and there are correlations between administered dose of methadone and its serum and urine concentrations. A weak correlation is observed between dose and EBC concentration. Wider variations in EBC concentrations of methadone could be justified concerning a number of affecting parameters such as relative humidity of the collection area and further investigations are required for standardization of EBC as a non-invasive biological sample to be used in clinical practice.

Predictive models of ethanol concentrations in simulated exhaled breath and exhaled breath condensate under varied sampling conditions

Breath monitoring is a non-invasive, safe, and repeatable approach to determining the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and general health status of humans and other mammals. Breath samples could be detected in two ways—directly sensing exhaled breath (EB) or chilling the EB to obtaining the exhaled breath condensate (EBC). Each has its advantages and disadvantages but they are both affected by di...

Dose-Dependent Effects of Methadone on QT interval in Patients under Methadone Maintenance Treatment

Background: The role of methadone in QTc prolongation, Torsades de Pointes (TdP) arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death has been debated. Because of widespread use of methadone in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) centers, we aimed to study dose-related effects of methadone on QTc prolongation. Methods: In a comparative observational study, 90 patients who were under MMT were evaluated. Patien...
