Abstract Background Worsening of the overdose crisis in USA has been linked to continuing proliferation non-pharmaceutical fentanyl (NPF). The recent wave NPF spread fueled by an increased presence counterfeit pills that contain NPF. This qualitative study aims characterize motivation and practices pill initiation use among individuals using illicit opioids Arizona. Methods Between October 2020 May 2021, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 meeting following eligibility...
Illicitly-manufactured fentanyl and stimulants have replaced prescription opioids as the primary contributors to fatal overdoses in United States (US), yet street supply of these substances is challenging quantify. Building on foundation prior research law enforcement drug reports, present study compares publicly available forensic laboratory report measures identify which account for most variation overdose mortality between states, within states over time, various demographic groups. Drug...
Anthracycline chemotherapies are effective at reducing disease recurrence and mortality in cancer patients. However, these drugs also contribute to skeletal muscle wasting dysfunction. The purpose of this study was assess the impact chronic doxorubicin (DOX) administration on satellite cell capillary densities different muscles. We hypothesized that DOX would reduce soleus (SOL) extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, along with fiber size. Ovariectomized female Sprague-Dawley rats were...
: Non-pharmaceutical fentanyl and related drugs (NPF) have contributed to increases in drug-related overdose mortality the U.S. More data are needed track shifting composition of fentanyl-containing drug mixtures. The key aims study characterize crime lab from Montgomery County, Ohio on increased cases seized containing mixtures NPF tramadol. Crime (2015 - 2020) were analyzed extract information that tested positive for Descriptive statistics provided NPF/tramadol terms quantity, weight,...
The purpose of this qualitative study is to characterize the impacts COVID-19 pandemic on drug use experiences among persons who illicit opioids (PWUO) in Arizona. Between 12/2020 and 05/2021, interviews were conducted via Zoom with 22 PWUO from across Participants recruited through Craigslist social media ads, referrals by a local harm reduction organization, other participants. transcribed analyzed using NVivo. 25–51 years age, 36% female, 55% non-Hispanic White. Most reported past month...
Abstract Background Street-sold drugs such as illicitly-manufactured fentanyl and stimulants have replaced prescription opioids the primary contributors to fatal overdoses in United States (US), yet street availability of these substances is challenging quantify. Building on foundation prior research law enforcement drug seizures, present study compares a variety publicly-available seizure measures identify which account for most variation overdose mortality between states, within states...
Aging is associated with many physiological changes that impact physical function. Most notably, older adults experience a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, termed sarcopenia. A better understanding the molecular phenotypical advancing age may provide therapeutic targets for interventions to slow progression PURPOSE: To characterize transcriptional morphological profile aging muscle. METHODS: Resting vastus lateralis biopsies were collected from 9 young (Y; 27±3yr,...
