Fentanyl has caused rapid increases in US and Canadian overdose deaths, yet its presence illicit drugs is often unknown to consumers. This study examined the validity identifying of fentanyl three portable devices that could be used providing drug checking services supply surveillance: test strips, a hand-held Raman Spectrometer, desktop Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer. In Fall 2017, we first undertook an assessment limits detection for fentanyl, then tested devices' sensitivity...
The development of abuse deterrent formulations is one strategy for reducing prescription opioid misuse and abuse. A putative formulation oxycodone extended release (OxyContin®) was introduced in 2010. Early reports demonstrated reduced diversion, however, an analysis social media found 32 feasible methods to circumvent the mechanism. We measured trends street price OxyContin assess durability initial reduction abuse.Data from Poison Center Program, Drug Diversion Opioid Treatment Survey Key...
The nonmedical use of pharmaceutical products has become a significant public health concern. Traditionally, the evaluation focused on controlled substances with addiction risk. Currently, there is no effective means evaluating noncontrolled antidepressants.Social listening, in context sometimes called infodemiology or infoveillance, process identifying and assessing what being said about company, product, brand, individual, within forms electronic interactive media. objectives this study...

Background Discontinuation of buprenorphine as a medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) necessitates careful tapering to reduce withdrawal and relapse. With half-life 43-60 days, extended-release formulation (BUP-XR) may provide gradual taper, facilitating successful treatment discontinuation. Objective This study sought understand experiences with stopping BUP-XR described on social media. Methods Reddit records (March 2018 August 2022) were evaluated the presence referents using...
Benzodiazepines is a class of medications frequently prescribed to patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. Patients PTSD have notable increased risk suicide compared the general population. These been theorized increase suicidality and pose when used in this patient Previous research has found little utility using benzodiazepines However, are still commonly by some clinicians for their symptomatic benefit. This study aims identify comparative efficacy including midazolam, lorazepam,...
The purpose of this study is to identify medications with potentially beneficial effects on decreasing mortality in patients acute kidney injury (AKI) while the intensive care unit (ICU). We used logistic regression investigate associations between received and ICU AKI MIMIC III database. Drugs associated reduced were then validated using eICU Propensity score matching (PSM) was for patients' baseline severity illness followed by a chi-square test calculate significance drug use mortality....
The majority of COVID-19 vaccines currently available are typically administered in two doses, with a prescribed number weeks separating the doses. Because uncertainty vaccine supply, many vaccination managers have saved doses inventory to ensure on-time second However, saving slows administration first and potentially delays completing target population. In this paper, we use mathematical model explore performance policies manage two-dose given supply uncertainty. structure suggests simple...
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent mental marked by psychological and behavioral changes. Currently, there no consensus of preferred antipsychotics to be used for the treatment PTSD. We aim discover whether certain have decreased suicide risk in PTSD population, as these patients may at higher risk. A total 38,807 were identified with diagnosis through ICD9 or ICD10 codes from January 2004 October 2019. An emulation randomized clinical trials was conducted compare outcomes...
Maintaining healthy, well-trained, and highly qualified armed forces is critical for ensuring military readiness. The purpose of this article to contribute the body research focused on health U.S. Navy submariners identify conditions during their final year active duty service. In retrospective cohort study, we examined medical records personnel files separating sailors who were: (1) between 2009 2018; (2) separated before 2019; (3) were assigned a submarine at least 30 days. Both officers...
Considerable effort and expense have been expended in the spacecraft community developing lightweight, reliable, economical separation systems for both faring payload release requirements. Pyrotechnically driven systems, while proven to be acceptably primary disadvantages of being relatively massive generating significant pyroshock when activated. As a result, additional is associated with these minimize safety hazards systems. Nevertheless, type used effectively within decades. The recent...
To identify the most prevalent health conditions among divers during their last year of Navy service.For this retrospective descriptive study we used data from Dive Jump Reporting System to 4,623 active-duty who separated between 2008 and 2018. Medical records, dive histories, personnel files were merged, linked analyzed at individual level.On average, 420 each year. Among separating divers, 99% male, 26% aged 25 29 years old with a mean age 35 (SD = 9, range 18 65). The major medical...
