The feasibility of detecting methamphetamine and its major metabolite, amphetamine, in postmortem tissues over a 2-year period was examined. It is important to determine if the abuse and toxic effects of drugs can be proved from evidence found in decayed, submerged, or stained tissue materials. The

Postmortem tissue and plasma concentrations of digoxin were studied in 13 premature newborns, 6 mature newborns, and 5 older infants (age 1 to 14 months). The pertinent results of our study are as follows: The tissue digoxin concentrations tend to be higher in premature and mature newborns than in i
A potentiometric titration procedure was employed for measurement of plasma chloride concentrations during the 0-96 h postmortem period in rats. The data revealed antemortem absolute values and postmortem rate of decrease in plasma chloride concentration (PCl) which were almost identical to those in
A simple and reliable technique was employed for measurement of (dc) electrical resistance of the gastric wall of rats. Tissue resistance decreased linearly (r = -0.87; P less than 0.001) from 66.1 +/- 12.1 kOhm/cm2 immediately following death to 23.3 +/- 3.5 kOhm/cm2 at a postmortem interval of 24
## Abstract Pulsed gradient diffusionβweighted spinβecho images (7 to 11 gradient strengths) were obtained in a coronal slice through the midbrain for five normal adult white rats before and after sacrifice in a 2βT CSI system with air temperature control. The pulse sequence was cardiac gated and r
