Amphetamine‐type‐stimulants (ATS) are the second most commonly used group of illicit drugs worldwide. However, in last few years, new psychoactive substances (NPS) with stimulant effects have appeared on illegal market, which not detected traditional analytical methods. A liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) method for determination hair classic ATS (amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine and 3,4‐methylenedioxyamphetamine), synthetic cathinones...
Drug exposure during pregnancy constitutes a major legal issue and public health concern. metabolite determination in biological matrices from mother newborn is an objective indication of prenatal drug exposure. However, limited data are available regarding the interpretation these analytical results terms window detection degree We collected paired maternal hair, meconium, placenta, umbilical cord 727 mother-newborn dyads. analyzed specimens by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry...
Drug of abuse consumption throughout pregnancy is a serious public health problem and an important economic cost to the system. The aim this work was compare maternal interview hair analysis determine drug study relations among interview, results, neonatal outcomes.Two hundred nine mothers agreed participate. After delivery, they were interviewed sample collected. Hair samples segmented in trimesters analyzed for 35 drugs [opioids, cocaine, amphetamines, Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),...
Drug determination in biological matrices from the mother and newborn is an objective measure of maternal fetal drug exposure. The aim this study was to compare hair, meconium, umbilical cord, placenta for detecting utero exposure cocaine, opiates, methadone, amphetamines.Maternal were collected 175 mother-newborn dyads. Maternal hair (segmented trimesters) meconium specimens analyzed amphetamines. If either or tested positive, cord analyzed. Analyses performed by liquid chromatography...
Abstract According to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 5.3% of pregnant women smoked marijuana in past month. This prevalence is expected increase as a growing number states countries are now considering legalization. Although umbilical cord becoming useful objective tool detect utero drug exposure, currently data about analytical methods its utility cannabis exposure scarce. The this work was develop method for determination Δ 9 ‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 11‐hydroxyTHC...
