Absolute Method A method in which characterization is based on physically defined (absolute) standards. Accreditation (l) A formal process by which a laboratory is evaluated, with respect to established criteria, for its competence to perform a specified kind(s) of measurement(s); (2) the decision based upon such a process; (3) formal recognition that a testing laboratory is competent to carry ...

Abstract Systematic toxicological analysis (STA) is the process of using an adequate analytical methodology to detect and identify as many potentially toxicologically relevant compounds possible in biological samples. STA important part everyday routine work within forensic toxicology, several methods for have frequently been published reviewed independently. However, drugs other substances inv...

Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a new analytical strategy for monitoring licit and illicit drug use in population by measuring the levels of biomarkers wastewater. The main concept this approach is that chemical substances ingested will be excreted urine feces, which discarded into sewage network may accumulate at wastewater treatment plant. Several such ethanol, nicotine, cocaine,...

background : suicidal behaviour is any deliberate action that has potentially life-threatening consequences, such as taking a drug overdose, deliberately consuming poison, hanging, drowning, burn etc. the aim of this study was to illustrate the epidemiological profile of complete suicidal poisoning cases autopsied at department of forensic medicine and toxicology, rajendra institute of medical ...

Gas chromatography (GC) and immunoassay techniques applied to blood and urine specimens were compared for the screening of benzodiazepines in postmortem forensic toxicology. Five hundred and six such successive postmortem cases in which both urine and peripheral blood was sent for toxicological analysis by the medical examiners were selected. The urine specimens were tested by the Emit((R)) d.a...

Background: The pattern of drug abuse in Iran has dramatically changed in recent years, turning from the traditional opioids [opium, opium dross, and refined opium dross (Shireh)] into drugs with newer forms. The present study is aimed at investigating the frequency of pathological changes in the lungs of bodies with positive postmortem toxicology results for narcotics and psychotropic substanc...
