Three Cases of Buprenorphine Microinduction in Critically Ill Patients () - Feb 20, 2020 - Abstract #ASAM2020ASAM_268; Buprenorphine microinduction should be considered in any situation where a patient cannot tolerate the standard induction. Potential applications include transitioning from full opioid agonist analgesia, sedation weans in critically ill patients, and induction for traditional application in the treatment of opioid dependence.

Race-Based Differences in Self-Report Drug Use at an Urban Methadone Treatment Program () - Feb 20, 2020 - Abstract #ASAM2020ASAM_258; They were also more likely to have ever been prescribed opioids and to have used prescription opioids prior to heroin/fentanyl. These differences, which cannot be accounted for by indicators of socioeconomic status, may reflect cultural, environmental and/or geographic differences leading to different exposures.

Promise of Illicit Drug Mortality Reduction After Jail Through Opioid Agonist Treatment () - Feb 20, 2020 - Abstract #ASAM2020ASAM_257; Discordant trends in illicit drug fatalities during the study period between detainees released from Cook County Jail and the rest of Cook County suggest CCH’s system-wide harm reduction efforts inclusive of jail-based agonist treatment may be effective. Effect of continuation of opioid agonist treatment after release should be followed.

Real-world use of extended-release buprenorphine (XR-BUP) in a low threshold Bridge clinic () - Feb 20, 2020 - Abstract #ASAM2020ASAM_210; This real-world application of XR-BUP in a low threshold clinic setting found that treatment was feasible, well tolerated, and outcomes were good, with most individuals choosing to continue treatment and a majority with no evidence of ongoing opioid use or precipitated withdrawal. Administering SL BUP for fewer than the recommended seven days was safe and did not worsen outcomes, XR-BUP 300mg monthly dosages were safe, and a substantial portion of patients required supplemental SL BUP during the first few months of XR-BUP.

[VIRTUAL] A population-based study on the risk and causes of death among long-term opioid analgesics users in Taiwan (Station 12) - Feb 20, 2020 - Abstract #EPA2020EPA_3085; This was a population-based cohort study including a sample of 12,990 non-cancer long-term opioid analgesics (Fentanyl, Morphin, Tramadol, and Codeine) adult users (>18 years) selected from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance claims in 2000-2012... Long-term opioid analgesics uses in Taiwan were associated with significantly elevated risk of mortality from all-cause and various natural and non-natural causes.

The high prevalence of risk factors that are associated with the development of misuse, abuse and dependence of these drugs must be taken into account.

Clinical, Journal: Risk Factors for Poor Pain Control after Opioid Switching from Oxycodone Tablet to Fentanyl Patch. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 20, 2020 The initial dose increase after switching to FP was earlier in patients with CDHPBR and/or without LM than those without CDHPBR and with LM (p < 0.05, log-rank test). It was suggested that the analgesic effect of FP after switching from OXC is likely to be insufficient in patients treated with CDHPBR and patients without LM.

Journal: Sex differences in the effectiveness of buprenorphine to decrease rates of responding in rhesus monkeys. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2020 The present study compared the behavioral effects of three MOR ligands (fentanyl, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) that varied in efficacy to stimulate [S]-GTPγS binding (from highest to lowest: fentanyl, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) in male and female rhesus monkeys...Naltrexone did not significantly alter behavior in either females or males. Overall, these results suggest that the expression of sex differences in MOR pharmacology depends upon both the efficacy of the MOR ligand and the behavioral endpoint.

This suggests that intracranial pressure influences the postoperative mortality rate in dogs undergoing brain tumor surgery.

Naloxone kits should be considered for all patients who are actively using stimulants because of a high potential of adulterated methamphetamine.

Eliminating this behaviour may be an avenue for harm reduction.
