Sensors in the Detection of Abused Substances in Forensic Contexts: A Comprehen...
Rosendo, Luana M.; Antunes, Mónica; Simão, Ana Y.; Brinca, Ana Teresa; Catarro, Gonçalo; Pelixo, Rodrigo; Martinho, João; Pires, Bruno; Soares, Sofiaorensic toxicology plays a pivotal role in elucidating the presence of drugs of abuse in both biological and solid samples, thereby aiding criminal investigations and public health initiatives. This review article explores the significance of sensor technologies in this field, focusing on diverse applications and their impact on the determination of drug abuse markers. This manuscript intends to review the tran...
The Therapeutic Potential of Amphetamine-like Psychostimulants
Pires, Bruno; Rosendo, Luana M.; Brinca, Ana Teresa; Simão, Ana Y.; Barroso, Mário; Rosado, Tiago; Gallardo, EugeniaThis review delves into the therapeutic applications of amphetamine-type stimulants such as lisdexamphetamine dimesylate, mixed amphetamine salts, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), dextroamphetamine, and phentermine. These compounds have been investigated for their potential in treating a range of psychiatric disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), drug dependence, post-tra...
Miniaturized Solid Phase Extraction Techniques Applied to Natural Products
Rosendo, Luana M.; Brinca, Ana Teresa; Pires, Bruno; Catarro, Gonçalo; Rosado, Tiago; Guiné, Raquel P. F.; Araújo, André R. T. S.; Anjos, OféliaNatural products are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives through their use in industry, food, as therapeutic agents, etc. To evaluate their possible applications, it is essential to characterize them chemically to explore their potential. Different techniques may be used to characterize natural products, including microextraction techniques. These techniques have been gaining popularity due to the adv...

An Update on the Implications of New Psychoactive Substances in Public Health
Simão, Ana Y.; Antunes, Mónica; Cabral, Emanuel; Oliveira, Patrik; Rosendo, Luana M.; Brinca, Ana Teresa; Alves, Estefânia; Marques, HernâniThe emergence of new psychoactive substances has earned a great deal of attention, and several reports of acute poisoning and deaths have been issued involving, for instance, synthetic opiates. In recent years, there have been profound alterations in the legislation concerning consumption, marketing, and synthesis of these compounds; rapid alert systems have also been subject to changes, and new substances and ...
Volatilomics as an emerging strategy to determine potential biomarkers of femal...
Brinca, Ana Teresa; Anjos, O.; Alves, Maria Manuel; Sousa, Ângela; Oliani, António Hélio; Breitenfeld, Luísa; Passarinha, Luís A.Due to its high prevalence, infertility has become a prominent public health issue, posing a significant challenge to modern reproductive medicine. Some clinical conditions that lead to female infertility include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and premature ovarian failure (POF). Follicular fluid (FF) is the biological matrix that has the most contact with the oocyte and can, therefore, be use...
