- Determination of cocaine and its derivatives in hair samples by liquid phase microextraction (LPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)(2017) PEGO, A. M. F.; ROVERI, F. L.; KUNINARI, R. Y.; LEYTON, V.; MIZIARA, I. D.; YONAMINE, M.Hair testing is a recognized approach when it comes to accessing historical drug use. According to the World Drug Report of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) 2015, Brazil is the largest cocaine (COC) market in South America. New analytical methodologies to detect crack/cocaine analytes in hair samples are highly desirable. Here, a method consisting of a liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) as a clean-up step, followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis has been proposed. The new validated method consisted of a washing step; an overnight incubation with methanol and a quick derivatization with butylchloroformate. Once derivatized, the samples were then submitted to the LPME procedure. Limits of detection (LoD) and quantitation (LoQ) obtained were of 0.1 and 0.5 ng/ mg for COC 0.4 and 0.5 ng/mg for anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME); 0.03 and 0.05 for cocaethylene (CE), respectively and 0.05 ng/mg for both LoD and LoQ for benzoylecgonine (BZE). All calibration curves were linear over the scope applied, from LoQ up to 20 ng/mg, with a r(2) > 0.99. Precision and accuracy assays showed acceptable % RSD values, according to international guidelines. Twelve postmortem head hair samples stemming from the Institute of Legal Medicine of Sao Paulo (IML-SP) have been analyzed, from which seven have shown to be positive for COC (0.75-> 20 ng/mg) and BZE (0.1-> 20 ng/mg). Apart from COC's main metabolite, four samples were also positive for CE (0.1-3.9 ng/mg) and three samples for AEME (0.5-4.9 ng/mg). To conclude, the LPME technique together with GC-MS analysis have shown promising results and were able to meet the demand of the laboratory of analyzing postmortem hair samples to look for all four analytes.
- Cocaine toxicological findings in cases of violent death in Sao Paulo city - Brazil(2018) PEGO, Ana Miguel Fonseca; OLIVEIRA, Sarah Carobini Werner de Souza Eller Franco de; OLIVEIRA, Tiago Franco de; LEYTON, Vilma; MIZIARA, Ivan; YONAMINE, MauricioViolence is a dreadful phenomenon spread throughout the world, resulting in unfortunate events that can ultimately cause death. It is known that some countries play a much worrying role in this scenario than others. Brazil is one of them. The present work has focused on identifying the use of cocaine in 105 postmortem cases arriving at the Institute of Legal Medicine of Sao Paulo (IML-SP), the largest Brazilian city. Both blood and hair samples have been analyzed through ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) in order to distinguish between recent or chronic cocaine use. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the proportion of cocaine use amongst violent individuals whose violence has ultimately led to their death. In order to do so, two previous methods, validated in-house, based on methanolic extraction for hair and protein precipitation for blood, have been used for this purpose and the final residue was analyzed through UPLC-ESI-MS/MS system. When looking at the demographics from the 105 postmortem cases analyzed, the results have shown the most critical age range to be between 18 and 25 years old and the least frequent between 37 and 45 years old. Gender wise, a rather extreme difference was found as 97 of the individuals were men and finally, considering the manner of death, the four-category criteria established appear to be fairly similar with 34 cases related to general violence and risk behavior, 26 to drug abuse suspicion, 23 to homicide resulting from opposition to police intervention and 22 to possible suicide.
- Three Different Mechanisms of Death An Unusual Form of a Child Murder by Asphyxia(2011) MIZIARA, Ivan Dieb; BERTACCINI, FlavioWe report a very unusual case of murder of a 4-year-old male white child who died of asphyxiation. Asphyxia occurred due to 3 factors: manual strangulation, hyperextension of the neck, and atlantoaxial subluxation. The offenses were carried out by a single assailant (the stepfather of the child) who strangled the child with his right hand, using his left hand to pull the hair of the child, forcing the head back and causing hyperextension of the neck, thereby dislocating the first and second cervical vertebrae.
- Characterization of male sexual assault in the state of São Paulo, Brazil: an epidemiological study from 2014 to 2017(2024) SANTOS, Edmilson Ozorio dos; MOSCARDINI, Andrey Wellington; MIZIARA, Ivan DiebSexual violence is a pervasive global issue that affects individuals of all genders. However, the experiences of male survivors have often been marginalized and inadequately represented. Male rape, which encompasses several forms of sexual violence against men, remains a sensitive and under-discussed topic in academic literature and public discourse. This study presents a descriptive cross-sectional analysis based on data collected from the Legal Medicine Institute (IML-Sao Paulo, Brazil) between 2014 and 2017. The analysis includes 7386 reports of sexological examinations performed on male victims of alleged rape. The analysis reveals that a significant majority of rape reports involved victims under the age of 12 or 14, which is considered vulnerable rape by the Brazilian legislation. Regarding the examination of reported cases of abuse against men, it was observed that only the minority of these cases exhibited visible injuries consistent with rape or tested positive for the presence of spermatozoa in the perianal region. Since the absence of visible injuries or spermatozoa does not negate the possibility of rape, this work highlights the challenges in obtaining conclusive evidence, necessitating a comprehensive approach to investigate and prosecute these crimes, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all survivors of rape, irrespective of their gender.
