Intravenous injection of crushed tablets, a concomitant intake of psychotropics (especially benzodiazepines), and the high dosage of the BUP formulation available in France appear to be the major risk factors for such fatalities.

The good performances of this method in terms of both sensitivity and specificity make it a convenient alternative to HPLC/coulometry and GC/MS for the separate analysis of BUP and norBUP in biological samples.
Diatom analysis in victim’s tissues as an indicator of the site of drowning

The results showed that a concordance of the abundance of the diatom taxa in tissues compared to the site of drowning and their distribution relative to one another was 65% in the group where the sites of drowning was known and 35% inthe other group.

This observation is the first demonstration of a relationship between high intracerebral manganese levels, radiologic abnormalities, and neurologic disorders during long-term PN.
Determination of cannabinoids in whole blood by UPLC-MS-MS.

The UPLC-MS-MS method was found to be sensitive, specific, and rapid because it requires no derivatization step, and can be an alternative to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the determination of cannabinoids in whole blood.
Ethanol–MDMA interactions in rats: the importance of interval between repeated treatments in biobehavioral tolerance and sensitization to the combination

These findings shed new light on the consequences of EtOH–MDMA, taken together at a nearly normal ambient temperature, both in terms of motivation and potential risks for recreational drug users.
Ethanol increases the distribution of MDMA to the rat brain: possible implications in the ethanol-induced potentiation of the psychostimulant effects of MDMA.
