- Opioid Use Disorder from Poppy Seed Tea Use: A Case Reportby Glenn R Kauppila on January 26, 2023
BACKGROUND Unwashed or unprocessed poppy seeds may be an underrecognized substance that can lead to dependence, abuse, and an opioid use disorder. Poppy seeds can be purchased in an unwashed or unprocessed form, and these seeds can be contaminated with the opium alkaloids morphine, codeine, and thebaine on their surfaces. Poppy seeds that are commercially available, such as those used for baking and in other food products, are legal to purchase, as they do not contain the opium alkaloids on...
- Parkin Mediates Cannabidiol Prevention of Amyloid-Beta-Induced Senescence in Human Astrocytesby Zhizhen Wang on January 25, 2023
Introduction: As aging is the leading risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), ablation of senescent cells is a promising therapeutic approach to prevent AD. It is known that astrocytes lose their ability to maintain a healthy brain environment when aging. Studies have recently shown that cannabidiol (CBD) provides a promising therapeutic avenue for AD; however, if or how CBD prevents astrocyte aging is not known. Materials and Methods: In this study, human astrocytes were employed to measure...
- Self-report and urine drug screen concordance among women with co-occurring PTSD and substance use disorders participating in a clinical trial: Impact of drug type and participant characteristicsby L M Ruglass on January 25, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Findings add to the literature that supports the validity of self-reported cannabis and cocaine use. The greater discrepancies between self-report and UDS test results of opioids and sedatives suggest adjunctive UDS may be required, although a variety of factors other than inaccurate self-report may be associated with this discrepancy.
- Burden of disease due to amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, and opioid use disorders in South America, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019by João M Castaldelli-Maia on January 25, 2023
BACKGROUND: South America's substance use profile, poverty, income inequality, and cocaine-supplier role make it a unique place for substance use research. This study investigated the burden of disease attributable to amphetamine use disorder, cannabis use disorder (CAD), cocaine use disorder, and opioid use disorder (OUD) in South America from 1990 to 2019, on the basis of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.
