Autoerotic asphyxia is a form of deviant sexual behavior that seeks sexual gratification by means of manipulation with one's own body resulting in asphyxia, and may sometimes turn out to be fatal. Autoerotic fatalities involving autoerotic asphyxia are divided into two groups: "typical" autoerotic fatalities involve mechanical compression of the neck, chest or abdomen, whereas "atypical" autoeroticism involves sexual self-stimulation by other means. Cases where asphyxiophilic behavior is accompanied by volatile substance abuse are reported to be rather rare, but may involve a high risk of fatal results. This paper presents a case of accidental "atypical" autoeroticism involving victim's abuse of toluene, which, combined with asphyxiophilic airway occlusion, led to death. For the sake of comprehensiveness, both a verbal description and a schematic representation of the major metabolic pathways of acute and chronic abuse metabolic markers is provided.

Intravenózne užívanie drog so sebou prináša zvýšené zdravotné riziko, ale aj riziká sociálnych alebo trestnoprávnych následkov, ktorým musí užívateľ čeliť. Injekčné užívanie drog sa najčastejšie spája s opiátmi a opioidmi, aj keď v niektorých krajinách je časté aj injekčné užívanie stimulantov napr. amfetamínov a metamfetamínov alebo kokaínu. Na Slovensku je injekčné užívanie drog spojené hlavne s vysokorizikovým užívaním metamfetamínu a vysokorizikovým užívaním opioidov. Medzi najzávažnejšie komplikácie injekčnej aplikácie drog patria infekčné komplikácie spôsobené vírusom HIV, vírusmi hepatitídy typu B a C a infekčné endokarditídy. Cieľom práce je demonštrácia variability morfologických nálezov vo vybraných smrteľných prípadoch infekčnej endokarditídy u injekčných užívateľov drog. Ide o tri prípady žien vo veku 26, 30 a 24 rokov, u ktorých došlo k úmrtiu v dôsledku komplikácií infekčnej endokarditídy na trikuspidálnej, aortálnej a mitrálnej chlopni. Spoločným menovateľom vo všetkých troch prípadoch bol rozvoj septického stavu spôsobeného rovnakým etiologickým agens – Staphylococcus aureus. Demonštrované fatálne následky injekčného užívania drog zdôrazňujú potrebu myslieť na riziko závažných kardiovaskulárnych komplikácií pri klinickom manažmente pacientov – injekčných užívateľov drog.
Intravenous drug use carries an increased health risk but also the risks of social or criminal consequences that the user has to face. Injecting drug use is most often associated with opiates and opioids, although in some countries, the injecting use of stimulants such as amphetamines and methamphetamines or cocaine is also common. In Slovakia, injecting drug use is mainly associated with high-risk methamphetamine use and high-risk opioid use. The most serious complications of injecting drug use include infectious complications caused by HIV, hepatitis B, and C viruses and infective endocarditis. This paper aims to present the variability of morphological findings in selected fatal cases of infective endocarditis in injecting drug users. There are three cases of women aged 26, 30, and 24 who died as a result of complications of infective endocarditis of the tricuspid, aortal and mitral valve. The common factor in all three cases was the development of a septic condition caused by the same etiological agent – Staphylococcus aureus. The presented fatal consequences of injecting drug use emphasize the need to take into consideration the risk of serious cardiovascular complications in the clinical patient management of injecting drug users.

Východiska: Drogová závislost v těhotenství je velmi závažným a sociálním problémem. Drogy negativně ovlivňují průběh těhotenství, vývoj plodu a novorozence. Těhotná žena užívající drogy, škodí nejen svému organismu, ale dlouhodobě negativně ovlivňuje i vývoj dítěte. V důsledku sporadických návštěv prenatálních poraden těhotnými ženami, se později děti rodí s různými potížemi. Cíl: Cílem článku bylo zpracovat z českých a zahraničních zdrojů informace týkající se užívání návykových látek v těhotenství. Dalším cílem bylo zjistit, jaký vliv má užívání návykových látek v těhotenství na novorozence.Metoda: Článek byl koncipován jako teoretická stať.Výsledky: Návykové látky, které těhotná žena užívá v těhotenství, mají na průběh těhotenství negativní dopad. Objevuje se intrauterinní růstová retardace plodu, spontánní potraty, předčasný porod, abrupce placenty, problémy s otěhotněním, nepravidelnosti menstruačního cyklu a vyšší riziko mrtvorozenosti. Děti rodící se drogově závislým matkám mají zvýšená rizika toxického vlivu drog jak v průběhu, tak také po ukončení těhotenství. U novorozenců se objevuje novorozenecký abstinenční syndrom, fetální alkoholový syndrom, nízká porodní hmotnost plodu, vyšší neonatální mortalita, nižší Apgar skóre a kongenitální anomálie. Závěr: Užívání všech typů drog má na těhotenství i vývoj plodu negativní dopad. Užívání drog v těhotenství je komplexní problém, který se dotýká všech stránek života ženy, proto je důležité, aby se na jeho řešení podíleli odborníci z různých oborů (přes lékaře, nelékařský zdravotnický personál, sociální pracovnice a další).
Background: Drug addiction in pregnancy is a very serious and social problem. Drugs negatively affect the course of pregnancy, fetal development and the newborn. A pregnant woman who uses drugs not only harms her body, but also negatively affects the child's development. As a result of sporadic visits to prenatal clinics by pregnant women, children are later born with various difficulties. Aim: The aim of the article was to process information from czech and foreign sources concerning the use of addictive substances in pregnancy. Another aim was to find out what effect the use of addictive substances in pregnancy has on the newborn.Methods: The article was conceived as a theoretical state. Results: Addictive substances taken by a pregnant woman during pregnancy have a negative impact on the course of pregnancy. Intrauterine growth retardation of the foetus, spontaneous abortion, premature birth, placental abruption, problems with pregnancy, menstrual irregularities and the risk of stillbirth occur. Children born to drugaddicted mothers have an increased risk of drug toxicity both during and after pregnancy. Neonates develop neonatal abstinence syndrome, foetal alcohol syndrome, low birth weight, neonatal mortality, lower Apgar score and congenital anomalies.Conclusion: The use of all types of drugs has a negative impact on pregnancy and foetal development. Drug use in pregnancy is a complex problem that affects all aspects of a woman's life, so it is important that experts from different disciplines (through doctors,non-medical medical staff, social workers and others) take part in its solution. Working with drug-addicted pregnant women as well as newborns with withdrawal symptoms has its specificities and cannot be treated routinely and in the same way as other pregnant women and newborns. Primary education of young age groups on drugs and their negative effects on pregnancy and foetal development, or further education of dependent mothers on how to deal with a difficult situation that has already arisen, would therefore be appropriate.

The negative effects of community violence exposure on child and adolescent mental health are well documented and exposure to community violence has been linked both to a number of internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Our aim was, therefore, to investigate cross-cultural and gender differences in the relationship between community violence exposure and substance abuse. A self-report survey was conducted among 10,575, 12-18 year old adolescents in three different countries, Czech Republic (N = 4537), Russia (N = 2377) and US (N = 3661). We found that in all three countries both substance use and problem behavior associated with it increased similarly along with severity of violence exposure and this association was not gender-specific. It was concluded that in spite of the differences in the levels of violence exposure and substance use cross-culturally and by gender, the pattern of their association is neither culturally nor gender bound.
