Fitzgerald while pedestrian and cyclist are equally represented. Blood Randox Laboratories, Crumlin (United Kingdom) specimens were analyzed for alcohol and in 262 cases also for Introduction. Ethanol or ethyl alcohol is a psychoactive drug illicit and therapeutic drugs. Drugs when present were present in alcoholic beverages. It acts as a central nervous quantitated. Urine, when available, was submitted to system depressant. Ethanol tests are used in the diagnosis and immunochemical screening of drugs of abuse and confirmation treatment of alcohol intoxication or poisoning and also in the of positive results by GC-MS. Results.. Alcohol above 0.1 g/L determination of legal impairment and forensic judgement. was detected in 205 cases (42.2%) and the concentration Aims. We report the development of an assay kit for measured was above the legal limit (0.5 g/L) in the 70.7% of quantitation of ethanol in serum and urine on the RX series these cases. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) between 1.5 analysers exhibiting specificity for the target compound without g/L and 2.5 g/L was mesured in 55 cases (27%) while 28 interferences with other organic compounds such as subjects (14%) had a BAC higher than 2.5 g/l. Central nervous acetaldehyde, methanol and other known typical interferents in system active drugs were detected in 23.3% (62 cases). serum and urine.

Methods. Data on deaths and injuries (Italy) caused by road traffic accidents were collected from January Introduction. The Italian National Institute of Statistics 2001 to May 2009 (a total of 45,794 fatalities and 1,298,318 recorded 5,131 fatal road accidents in 2007. One of the main injuries). Time series analysis and simple comparisons one year causes of traffic crashes is driving under the effects of alcohol before and after the new law were carried out. Results. Traffic and/or psychoactive substances (illicit drugs or some fatalities have been decreasing in the capital since 2001, with a medication). In Italy the legal limit of blood alcohol concentration reduction of 7.9% in the post-law period.

A retrospective study was carried out to injuries have been increasing since 2001, in both regions, and produce epidemiological data concerning the role played by began declining even before the law, showing a greater alcohol and psychoactive substances in fatal road accidents. reduction in the post-law period (12.4 and 13.8% for capital and The focus of this study was to establish the dimension of this State, respectively). Conclusions. The new road traffic law had problem and to describe the characteristics of people involved a deeper impact on traffic injuries than fatalities. Nevertheless, in road fatalities under psychoactive substance effects. the decrease on casualties was observed during the period Methods.
