In February 2015, an outbreak of recently acquired HIV infections among people who inject drugs (PWID) was identified in Dublin, following similar outbreaks Greece and Romania 2011. We compared drug risk behaviours 15 cases 39 controls. Injecting a synthetic cathinone, snow blow, associated with recent infection (AOR: 49; p=0.003). Prevention control efforts are underway PWID but may also be needed elsewhere Europe.
A rapid, reproducible and sensitive reversed phase liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method was developed validated for the identification semi-quantitative confirmation of stimulants in urine. The is capable separating compounds such as cocaine metabolites, amphetamines, substituted cathinones other designer drugs, with a total run time 11 min. subsequently used to confirm presence these urine patients attending Drug Treatment Centre Board Ireland over period which legislation banning...

There is an increasing concern about the misuse of prescription drugs. Misuse refers to intentional repurposing prescribed drugs and/or use illicitly sourced drugs, which may be counterfeit or contaminated. Drugs with greatest potential for are opioids, gabapentinoids, benzodiazepines, Z-drugs and stimulants.The aim this study provide a comprehensive analysis supply, patterns health burden associated (PDPM) in Ireland between 2010 2020. Three inter-related studies will carried out. The first...
The HSE National Drug Treatment Centre is an inner city drug treatment centre in Dublin which provides opiate agonist (OAT) to approximately 565 patients, many of whom have complex care needs. This study was conducted determine seropositivity the COVID-19 virus patients attending NDTC, and establish if tested had any clinical symptoms this disease since March 2020. All for OAT were invited participate 103/565 agreed. presence serum antibodies a single sample collected over 4-month period...
Medical simulation education has expanded in the remote learning sphere, providing educational opportunities to under-resourced areas and ability engage learners limited by time or geographic location. Pediatric resuscitation training historically been in-person relying on Advanced Life Support (PALS) algorithms, yet many pediatric providers are often faced with treating adult adult-sized patients. Our goal was develop a tele-simulation module highlighting possible diagnoses scenarios that...
Background and aims: Sepsis is a life-threatening illness with mortality rate of 30–60%. The Aboriginal childhood population the Kimberley region northwest Australia suffered post-neonatal from preventable sepsis ten times that non-Aboriginal population. Aims: To reduce incidence death through an intervention strategy: Febrile Child Policy (FCP). Methods: This study has been approved WA Department Health ethics process. FCP required health staff to follow explicit steps in clinical...

Opioids opioid antagonists may have role treating this based on number observations: an unexpectedly low incidence has been observed patients treated for dependency with long acting such as methadone; opioids bind ACE2 transmembrane protein, molecule that is widely considered be main host cell receptor SARS CoV2 entry;...
