Pathological findings are marked in bold. All other routine parameters (for example liver enzymes, electrolytes, coagulation status, triglycerides, cholesterol, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine, and free thyroxine), as well as the screening for drugs in the patient’s urine (benzodiazepine, amphetamine, morphine/opiate/heroin, barbiturates, ecstasy/3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, methadone, cocaine metabolites, methamphetamine, tetrahydrocannabinol, fentanyl, tricyclic antidepressants, buprenorphine), and in the serum (barbiturates, benzodiazepine, tricyclic antidepressants) showed no pathological findings
