Abstract Objective To investigate the efficacy of vaginal progesterone to prevent early preterm birth in women with sonographic evidence a short cervical length midtrimester. Methods This was planned, but modified, secondary analysis our multinational, multicenter, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial, which were randomized between 18 + 0 and 22 6 weeks gestation receive daily treatment 90 mg gel or placebo. Cervical measured transvaginal ultrasound at enrollment 28 gestation. Treatment...
Article Abstract Objective: High smoking rates in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and nicotine's amelioration of ADHD suggest that effective treatment might facilitate abstinence smokers ADHD. The present study evaluated if using osmotic-release oral system methylphenidate (OROS-MPH) to treat enhances response cessation Method: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 11-week trial a 1-month follow-up was conducted at 6 clinical sites between December 2005...
Screening for substance use disorder (SUD) in general medical settings may be particularly important patients with comorbid health conditions exacerbated by SUD. This study evaluated whether SUD is associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complications co-occurring T2DM and hypertension.Analysis of a limited data set obtained through IBM Watson Health Explorys, platform integrating from electronic records. Matched controls were defined each five SUDs: tobacco (TUD), opioid (OUD), cocaine...
Abstract Objectives To determine whether progesterone supplementation alters cervical shortening in women at increased risk for preterm birth. Methods We performed a planned secondary analysis from large, multinational birth prevention trial of daily intravaginal gel, 90 mg, com‐ pared with placebo history spontaneous or premature shortening. Transvaginal length measurements were obtained all randomized patients baseline (18 + 0 to 22 6 weeks' gestation) and 28 gestation. For this analysis,...
To evaluate the impact of concurrent treatments for substance use disorder and nicotine-dependence stimulant-dependent patients.A randomized, 10-week trial with follow-up at 3 6 months after smoking quit date conducted 12 treatment programs between February 2010 July 2012. Adults meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria cocaine and/or methamphetamine dependence interested in quitting were randomized to as usual (n = 271) or smoking-cessation 267). All participants received treatment. Participants assigned...
Article Abstract Objective: To evaluate the potential efficacy of buspirone as a relapse-prevention treatment for cocaine dependence. Method: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 16-week pilot trial was conducted at 6 clinical sites between August 2012 and June 2013. Adult crack users meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria current dependence who were scheduled to be in inpatient/residential substance use disorder (SUD) 12-19 days when randomized planning enroll local outpatient through end...

Objective: Psychostimulants are effective treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but may be associated with euphoric effects, misuse/diversion, and adverse effects. These risks perceived by some clinicians to greater in substance-abusing adolescents relative non–substance-abusing adults. The present study evaluates the subjective effects use of osmotic-release oral system methylphenidate (OROS-MPH), placebo, treating ADHD a substance (SUD) as function severity...
Background Oxidative stress can result in damage to the brain and other organs. To protect from oxidative damage, human body possesses molecular defense systems, based on activity of antioxidants, enzymatic including enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px). Although pre‐clinical research has shown that stimulant use is associated with antioxidant systems have not been evaluated clinical samples stimulant‐dependent patients. Objectives This study...
Thirty-six non-hospitalized subjects with chronic pain from OA of the knee participated in an evaluation transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and naproxen, NSAID. All pre-experiment treatment was withdrawn. Each subject experienced some order three 3-week phases: NSAID plus placebo TENS; TENS drug; double placebo. A broad range measures used, including daily diary ratings, fourtimes-per-day ratings entered into a small electronic data logger (the PIPER) worn by subject....
Cocaine dependence is a significant public health problem, yet no validated pharmacological treatment exists. The potent γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic medication vigabatrin has previously been shown to be effective in double-blind single-site study conducted Mexico.To evaluate the safety and efficacy of for cocaine U.S. sample.Multisite, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-week clinical trial with follow-up visits at weeks 13, 16, 20, 24 11 sites.In total, 186...

AbstractThe effect of bednet use was investigated, without undertaking a specific intervention, in four cross-sectional community-based surveys 10 villages highly endemic area Papua New Guinea. Over half (55%) the villagers interviewed reported that they had used on previous night. In general and after adjustment for age, village housing characteristics, users, particularly children, lower parasite prevalences spleen rates less enlarged spleens than non-users. However, users were similar to...
