TL;DR: The objective assessment of acute and chronic intoxication by the above reported compounds demonstrate that the development of analytical methods aiming at the detection of a broad spectrum of compounds in conventional and non-conventional biological matrices is helpful when facing the new challenging threat of intoxications caused by NPS.

TL;DR: Evaluated clinical utility of glycolic acid determination in the diagnosis and prognosis of ethylene glycol (EG) intoxications finds that in all suspected cases of EG poisoning, it is advisable to carry out the simultaneous analysis of EG and GA.

TL;DR: There is an important variability in the cross-reactivity of the IAs for amphetamine and ecstasy caused by benzofurans depending on the immunoassay employed and the tested compounds.

TL;DR: This report illustrates that broad toxicology screening, including scopolamine, should be considered when patients diminished consciousness is observed after ruling out infection or cerebrovascular disease, and can play an important role in identifying this potentially life-threatening etiology.

TL;DR: The cross-reactivity study was performed in five different PCP IAs using urine-free, spiked samples and urine samples obtained from two 3-MeO-PCP overdose cases, and it was found that urine samples from the two overdose cases were positive for PCP in all IAs evaluated.
