Background: Drug concentrations obtained from post mortem samples do not necessarily
reflect the concentrations at the time of death, and variations of concentration may be …

At present, the inability to meaningfully and reliably conduct toxicological testing on human
skeletal material represents a significant gap in forensic practice, especially in a time when …

It is difficult to carry out toxicological investigations in biological samples collected from
extensively decomposed bodies and to interpret obtained results as several pitfalls should …

Simple Summary Forensic anthropologists analyze human remains to assist in the
identification of the deceased, predominantly by assessing age-at-death, sex, stature …

In decomposed or skeletonized bodies, conventional matrices used in forensic toxicology
may no longer be available for analysis. The aim of this paper was to test the survival and …

In forensic contexts of advanced decomposition, when conventional matrices are no longer
available for toxicological analyses, finding alternative matrices is necessary. The skeleton …

A method based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is described for the
determination of opioids (6-monoacetylmorphine, morphine, methadone and tramadol) and …

In forensic toxicology, when extended time has elapsed before discovery of the body, the
most commonly analyzed specimens are often degraded or not available at all due to …

Entomotoxicological analysis is not part of routine toxicological analysis. This work aims to
present two cases to illustrate the potential of entomological samples as complementary …

A method based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is described for the
determination of bisoprolol and atenolol in human bone. After the addition of lobivolol as …
