☀️ The Alcohol Essentials Series Starts Now!☀️ The first course to launch in the Alcohol Pharmacokinetics section is Alcohol Absorption, presented by the distinguished Dr. Joey Jones, Director of the Northern Louisiana Criminalistics Laboratory. We are fortunate to have some amazing instructors from around the country present this critical content. Participants of this course will learn about different routes of alcohol administration, the role of the gastrointestinal tract, and other physiological considerations. Significant attention is devoted to understanding factors that do and do not affect the extent and rate of alcohol absorption. The course concludes with a review of best practices in considering alcohol absorption. This foundational course enhances understanding of the behavioral and physiological factors associated with alcohol absorption and will improve investigation, interpretation, and testimony in cases regarding alcohol impairment. This course is live now, with many more to follow.

Lead Poisoning: Today, I had a wonderful conversation with a kind lady from the Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. We shared our experiences, and it was truly enlightening. I recounted my experience with the severe lead poisoning epidemic in Iran between 2018-2020, where thousands of cases had lead levels exceeding 100 mcg/dL, with 80% of them being critical. The highest level I encountered was over 400 mcg/dL, which sadly resulted in a fatality. I’m grateful that I managed over 300 severe cases during that epidemic, learning invaluable lessons. Living and working in the US offers a different perspective, and I’m glad I can apply my experiences here. It was fascinating to compare the differences in lead poisoning cases between the two countries, and I sincerely appreciate her time and the insights she shared. #Lead #LeadPoisoning #LeadPoisoningPrevention #PublicHealth #LeadPoisoningAwareness #GlobalHealth #Toxicology #EnvironmentalHealth #HealthEquity #PoisonControl #MedicalToxicology #LeadExposure #USHealthcare #EpidemicResponse #GlobalExperience #HealthcareCollaboration

What do you find the most challenging aspect of manual read-across? At the recent ACT meeting, we dove into the complexities of manual read-across during our vendor session. When asked about the most challenging aspect of the process, session attendees pinpointed to two critical areas: 1️⃣ Assigning weight to all factors 2️⃣ Similarity considerations These results highlighted the nuanced decision-making required in read-across methodologies. It's not just about collecting data—it's about critically evaluating and balancing multiple complex variables. This hurdle is why we developed our in silico solution Acrostic, simplifying the read-across process for those conducting impurity assessments.
