Journal ArticleDOI
A compilation of fatal and control concentrations of drugs in postmortem femoral blood.
Henrik Druid,Per Holmgren +1 more
TL;DR: The data gathered from cases with other cause of death than intoxication constitute a new kind of reference information, which probably offers a better estimate of obviously non fatal levels in postmortem blood than any compilation of therapeutic concentrations in living subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants and the risk of suicide: a controlled forensic database study of 14,857 suicides.
TL;DR: To test the hypothesis that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants may have a suicide emergent effect, particularly in children and adolescents, the aim is to find out if these drugs have an effect on suicide rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeine fatalities—four case reports
TL;DR: It seems to be warranted to include caffeine in the drug-screening of forensic autopsy cases, although it is not motivated from a medical point of view to sell pure caffeine over the counter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of antidepressants among people committing suicide in Sweden
TL;DR: The current data suggest that most depressed patients who commit suicide are not taking antidepressants immediately before death, and therapeutic failure may be a greater problem with antidepressants than toxicity as the results did not indicate any advantage of the newer, less toxic antidepressants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anni Steentoft,Brita Teige,Gerbrand Ceder,Erkki Vuori,Jakob Kristinsson,Kirsten Wiese Simonsen,Per Holmgren,G. Wethe,Elisabet Kaa +8 more
TL;DR: A widespread use of alcohol, cannabis and benzodiazepines, especially diazepam, was seen in all the countries and a decreasing number of drug deaths in the metropolitan area and an increasing number in other cities.
