- Substance-related poisoning hospitalizations and homelessness in Canada: a descriptive studyby Rebecca Plouffe on May 15, 2024
CONCLUSION: These findings can be used to strengthen strategies and interventions to reduce substance-related harms in priority populations, particularly those experiencing homelessness.
- Learning and memory function preserved by delayed A(1) adenosine receptor agonist treatment following soman intoxication in rats and a humanized esterase mouse modelby Joshua Harkins on May 4, 2024
Exposure to organophosphorus compounds, such as soman (GD), cause widespread toxic effects, sustained status epilepticus, neuropathology, and death. The A(1) adenosine receptor agonist N-bicyclo-(2.2.1)-hept-2-yl-5'-chloro-5'-deoxyadenosine (ENBA), when given 1 min after GD exposure, provides neuroprotection and prevents behavioral impairments. Here, we tested the ability of ENBA at delayed treatment times to improve behavioral outcomes via a two-way active avoidance task in two male animal...
- A Role for GABAA Receptor β3 Subunits in Mediating Harmaline Tremor Suppression by Alcohol: Implications for Essential Tremor Therapyby Adrian Handforth on April 29, 2024
BACKGROUND: Essential tremor patients may find that low alcohol amounts suppress tremor. A candidate mechanism is modulation of α6β3δ extra-synaptic GABA(A) receptors, that in vitro respond to non-intoxicating alcohol levels. We previously found that low-dose alcohol reduces harmaline tremor in wild-type mice, but not in littermates lacking δ or α6 subunits. Here we addressed whether low-dose alcohol requires the β3 subunit for tremor suppression.
- Metaphedrone (3-Methylmethcathinone): Pharmacological, Clinical, and Toxicological Profileby Igor Kelečević on March 28, 2024
Introduction: Synthetic cathinones are a group of novel psychoactive substances used as an alternative to classical recreational drugs. As a result of legal prohibitions on older generations of these compounds, new formulations appeared on the drug market. One of them is metaphedrone (3-methylmethcathinone, 3-MMC), a structural isomer of 4-methylmethcathinone and a psychostimulant drug. Metaphedrone became popular in a large number of countries in a short period of time. The aim: The collection,...
