[VIRTUAL] Opioid Withdrawal Produces Sex-Specific Effects on Fentanyl-Vs.-Food Choice and Mesolimbic Transcription () - Jun 28, 2021 - Abstract #CPDD2021CPDD_368; Escalation did not impact footshock-induced reinstatement, suggesting that escalation of intake and stress-induced craving with OUD involve dissociable mechanisms. These results provide foundational evidence of sex-specific neuroadaptations to opioid withdrawal, which may be relevant to the female-specific resilience to withdrawal-associated increases in opioid choice and aid in the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

[VIRTUAL] A Baker's Dozen: Discriminative Stimulus and Antinociceptive Effects of Thirteen Fentanyl Analogs () - Jun 28, 2021 - Abstract #CPDD2021CPDD_357; All of the fentanyl analogs produced opioid-like antinociception and at least some morphine-like interoceptive effects and therefore have the potential to be used as substitutes for legal and illegal opioids. Because most of these substances share similar mechanism of action with fentanyl and morphine, and because 10 of the 13 were more potent than morphine, they have the potential for inadvertent overdose.

Observational data, Retrospective data, Journal: Ropivacaine continuous wound infusion after mastectomy with immediate autologous breast reconstruction: A retrospective observational study. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 28, 2021 The satisfaction score of analgesia in the ON-Q group was comparable with that of the patients in the IV PCA group.This study demonstrates that single use of continuous wound infusion showed comparable analgesia with fentanyl-based IV PCA in patients who underwent mastectomy with immediate autologous breast reconstruction. Furthermore, the continuous infusion of LA directly on the surgical site did not significantly affect wound healing.

Journal: Examining Factors Associated with Non-Fatal Overdose among People Who Inject Drugs in Rural Appalachia. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Our study found those who injected buprenorphine as primary drug (OR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.10,0.81) had lower odds of OD compared to those who injected heroin. Conclusions/Importance: Given an increase in OD prevalence among PWID in the U.S, and especially among people living in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, assessing factors associated with OD is critical in development of tailored public health interventions to address the disparate rates of non-fatal OD in this vulnerable population.

Journal: Prescription Drug Histories among Drug Overdose Decedents in Delaware. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Our findings show a continued presence of Rx opioids in overdose deaths and that those dying from fentanyl had different Rx records than those who died from other drugs. Continued monitoring of Rx drugs, improved toxicology testing and greater data access for more research should follow to inform effective interventions.

Journal: Effectiveness of Fentanyl in Facilitating Cannulation of Ampulla of Vater during Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Mean age (51.36±17.750 years versus 56.74±16.995 years), weight (58.88±8.151 kg versus 57.32±8.431 kg) and gender distribution (14 versus 12 male patients and 36 versus 38 female patients) were comparable in both groups-Group P and Group FP. There were 34 patients in Group P and 37 patients in Group FP with easy cannulation and 16 patients in Group P and 13 patients in Group FP with difficult cannulation, which was comparable (p value=0.509) Cannulation of ampulla of vater is not affected by the use of fentanyl in combination with propofol when compared to propofol alone and can be routinely used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Journal: Prevalence and Correlates of Syringe Disposal Box Use in a Philadelphia Neighborhood with High Levels of Public Drug Injection. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Background: Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) is facing an unprecedented public health crisis due to fentanyl use...Among individuals reporting opioid use who also saw SDB (n=123), those who were unstably housed were more likely to use SDB than those with stable housing (67.8% vs 45.3%, p=.012). These results suggest Kensington residents, especially those who are unstably housed, use SDB once they see them in the neighborhood.

Journal: Purposeful Fentanyl Use and Associated Factors among Opioid-Dependent People Who Inject Drugs. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 These findings indicate that opioid-dependent PWID on methadone remain at increased risk for overdose given the high prevalence of ongoing purposeful fentanyl exposure. Interventions to reduce the harms associated with fentanyl use should target young PWID and active fentanyl users, with an emphasis on achieving adequate methadone dosage and screening and treating depression in methadone-maintained patients who preferentially seek fentanyl.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Journal: Perioperative Opioid Consumption is Not Reduced in Cyanotic Patients Presenting for the Fontan Procedure. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Fontan patients received fewer opioids intraoperatively (11.33 µg/kg fentanyl equivalents versus 12.56 µg/kg, p = 0.03)...There were no differences between groups with regards to the respiratory rate nadir, postoperative pain scores, or the incidence of opioid-related side effects. In contrast to other populations with chronic hypoxemia exposure, children with cyanotic CHD did not appear to have increased sensitivity to the effects of opioid medications.

Journal: The muscle reflex and chemoreflex interaction: ventilatory implications for the exercising human. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 24, 2021 Eleven healthy subjects (5 women/6 men) completed three bouts of constant-load single-leg knee-extension exercise in a control trial and an identical trial conducted with lumbar intrathecal fentanyl to attenuate neural feedback from lower-limb group III/IV muscle afferents...Therefore, the interaction between the MR and the O-CR exerts a hyper-additive effect on V̇ and V, and an additive effect on f, whereas the interaction between the MR and the CO-CR is simply additive for all ventilatory parameters. These findings reveal that the MR:CR interaction further augments the ventilatory response to exercise in hypoxia.
