Patterns of polydrug use among Black Americans who misuse opioids
This study used data from the Florida Minority Health Study, a mixed-methods project that included online surveys (n = 303) and qualitative in-depth interviews (n = 30) of Black Americans who misuse opioids. Data collection was conducted from August 2021 to February 2022 throughout Southwest Florida. Analyses revealed that opioids were most commonly combined with alcohol, cocaine, and methamphetamine, res pectively. Opioids were co-used with alcohol in an attempt to enhance the desired effect (i.e., intoxication), while stimulants and opioids were combined to counteract the undesirable side effects of the other.

Streamlining regular liquid chromatography with MALDI-TOF MS and NMR spectroscopy using automatic full-contact splitless spotting interface and flash-tap fractioning collection
Anal Chim Acta. 2024 Apr 15;1298:342401. doi: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342401. Epub 2024 Feb 26.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: High-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are powerful tools to identify unknown psychoactive substances. However, in complex matrices, trace levels of unknown substances usually require additional fractionation and concentration. Specialized liquid chromatography systems are necessary for both techniques. The small flow rate of nano LC, typically paired with MALDI-TOF MS, often results in prolonged f...

Shedding light on the hidden methamphetamine abuse: a nation-wide 7-year post-mortem study in Taiwan
CONCLUSIONS: Using autopsy dataset as a secondary source, we identified that over half of the cases involved accidental drug intoxication. The significant proportion of cases involving multiple substances, psychiatric medications, and drug-impaired driving raises concerning.PMID:38462530 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230263 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)
