Identifying emerging trends in recreational drug use; outcomes from the Psychonaut Web Mapping Project.

Methods: More than 200 discussion forums, social media, online shops, websites and other Internet resources (e.g.

Potential preanalytical errors in whole-blood analysis: effect of syringe sample volume on blood gas, electrolyte and lactate values.

Background: Arterial blood samples are sensitive to bias because of the physiological properties of blood. Several errors can occur in the preanalytical phase leading to incorrect diagnosis and improper treatment of patients. Collection of a blood specimen, as well as its handling and transport, belong to the key factors to affect the accuracy and good quality of clinical laboratory analysis.

Drugs on the web; the Psychonaut 2002 EU project.

Purpose: Only a few formal assessments of websites with drug-related contents have been carried out. We aimed here at fostering collection and analysis of data from web pages related to information on consumption, manufacture and sales of psychoactive substances.

General Methods: An 8-language, two-engine, assessment of the information available in a purposeful sample of 1633 unique websites was carried out.
