Review of analytical methods for screening and quantification of fentanyl analogs and...
Fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and other novel synthetic opioids (NSO), including nitazene analogs, prevail in forensic toxicology casework. Analytical methods for identifying these drugs in biological specimens need to be robust, sensitive, and specific. Isomers, new analogs, and s...
Evaluation and classification of fentanyl‐related compounds using EC‐SERS and machine...
Multiple analytical techniques for the screening of fentanyl‐related compounds exist. High discriminatory methods such as GC–MS and LC–MS are expensive, time‐consuming, and less amenable to onsite analysis. Raman spectroscopy provides a rapid, inexpensive alternative. Raman varia...

Organic impurity profiling of fentanyl samples associated with recent clandestine...
Nearly a decade ago, fentanyl reappeared in the United States illicit drug market. In the years since, overdose deaths have continued to rise as well as the amount of fentanyl seized by law enforcement agencies. Research surrounding fentanyl production has been beneficial to regu...
NIST Mass Spectrometry Data Center standard reference libraries and software tools:...
The standard reference libraries and associated custom software provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Mass Spectrometry Data Center (NIST MSDC) are described with a focus on assisting the seized drug analyst with the identification of fentanyl‐rela...

Rapid enantiomeric analysis of zopiclone in serum by supercritical fluid chromatography...
Zopiclone (ZOP) is a hypnotic drug prescribed to treat insomnia. Due to the chiral nature of ZOP, the psychologically active S‐form and inactive R‐form need to be determined enantiomerically in a forensic drug analysis. In the present study, a supercritical fluid chromatography (...
The detection of clandestine graves in an arid environment using thermal imaging deployed...
The Middle East is one of the world regions that has frequently suffered from armed conflicts that resulted in mass burials. However, the detection of clandestine graves in such an arid environment by deploying remote sensing payload on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has receive...
Emergence of fentanyl‐related deaths in Travis County, Texas and surrounding areas: A...
The opioid epidemic has affected the United States (US) for decades with fentanyl and its analogs accounting for a recent surge in morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is a relative lack of information characterizing fentanyl‐related fatalities specifically in the Southern U...
Prototypicality analysis of the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP...
The Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP) model is a new lexically based concept of psychopathy that has potential clinical utility. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the generalizability of the CAPP conceptual model in South Korea. In the ...
Copycatting the smell of death: Deciphering the role of cadaveric scent components used by...
Human remains detection dogs (HRDD) are commonly used by law enforcement agencies to search for cadavers. Biological material is typically used as a training stimulus, also called aids, to train dogs to recognize the smell of cadavers. While HRDD training approaches have received...

Modification of the Marmarou and Foda model of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) improves...
More than two decades ago, Marmarou published a valid model for producing diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in rats. Since then, both mild and severe injuries have been obtained by researchers using the original method and a weight of 450 g. However, the diffuse brain injuries produced...
