    Journal:  Drug Decriminalization, Fentanyl, and Fatal Overdoses in Oregon. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 5, 2024   
    In this cohort study of fatal drug overdose and the spread of fentanyl through Oregon's unregulated drug market, no association between M110 and fatal overdose rates was observed. Future evaluations of the health effects of drug policies should account for changes in the composition of unregulated drug markets.

    Journal:  Assessment of postmortem urine fentanyl detection by autopsy dipstick testing in accidental overdose deaths. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 4, 2024   
    Furthermore, a comparison of commercially available urine dipstick test cut-offs and authentic casework with estimated urine concentrations revealed that at a fentanyl/norfentanyl cut-off level of 5?ng/mL, 19% of these fentanyl-related accidental overdoses would result in a false negative, 24% at 10?ng/mL, 25% at 20?ng/mL, 51% at 50?ng/mL, and 61% at 100?ng/mL. The study found that the use of urine dipstick tests, as a decision-maker for the initiation of further comprehensive routine toxicology laboratory testing, or to support cause and manner of death determination, leads to both false-positive and false-negative predictions in fentanyl accidental overdoses.

    Preclinical, Journal:  Anxiety and risk-taking behavior maps onto opioid and alcohol polysubstance consumption patterns in male and female mice. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 4, 2024   
    Here we assessed baseline anxiety-like and locomotive behavior and then measured voluntary consumption of multiple doses of alcohol and fentanyl in group housed male and female mice using our novel Socially Integrated Polysubstance (SIP) system...We then used machine-learning techniques to reveal underlying relationships between baseline behavioral phenotypes and subsequent polysubstance consumption patterns, where anxiety- and risk-taking-like behavioral phenotypes mapped onto discrete patterns of polysubstance use, preference, and escalation. By simulating more translationally relevant substance use and improving our understanding of the motivations for different patterns of consumption, this study contributes to the developing preclinical literature on polysubstance use with the goal of facilitating better treatment outcomes and novel therapeutic strategies.

    Journal:  The Detection of Xylazine in Tijuana, Mexico: Triangulating Drug Checking and Clinical Urine Testing Data. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 4, 2024   
    Of the participants studied, 100 %, 91.3 %, and 69.6 % reported using China White/fentanyl, methamphetamine, and tar heroin, respectively...This testing also revealed positivity rates for fentanyl (73.9 %), fluorofentanyl (30.4 %), tramadol (30.4 %), and lidocaine (30.4 %)...Xylazine was found to be more prevalent in urine than in paraphernalia samples. Confirmatory urine studies are needed to better understand possible complications of using test strips for toxicological testing.

    Journal:  Reported Non-Substance-Related Mental Health Disorders Among Persons Who Died of Drug Overdose - United States, 2022. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 1, 2024   
    Overall, approximately 80% of overdose deaths involved opioids, primarily illegally manufactured fentanyls...Nearly one quarter of decedents with an MHD had at least one recent potential opportunity for intervention (e.g., approximately one in 10 decedents were undergoing substance use disorder treatment, and one in 10 visited an emergency department or urgent care facility within 1 month of death). Expanding efforts to identify and address co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (e.g., integrated screening and treatment) and strengthen treatment retention and harm reduction services could save lives.

    Journal:  A qualitative exploration of harm reduction in practice by street-based peer outreach workers. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 1, 2024   
    Harm reduction strategies have expanded from syringe and needle exchange programs that emerged in the mid-1980s primarily in response to the HIV epidemic, to include medication for opioid use disorder, supervised consumption rooms, naloxone distribution, and drug checking technologies such as fentanyl test strips...They also framed harm reduction as part of a "path toward recovery." This path was complicated and nonlinear but pursued a common goal of life without drug use and its residual effects. These findings suggest the need to develop harm reduction programs that incorporate both harm reduction and recovery to best meet the needs of people who use drugs and align with the value systems of implementers.

    Review, Journal:  A Review of the Literature on Episodes of Acute Fentanyl Intoxication in Pediatric Age and Toxicological Applications. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 28, 2024   
    In cases of intoxication in a family context of drug addiction, it is necessary to investigate the chronicity of the intake through hair analysis and evaluate the possible co-administration of other drugs. In conclusion, we suggest a protocol, applicable both on patients or cadavers, which can be useful for physicians and forensic pathologists in order to promptly identify these cases and allow for the reporting of them to the judicial authorities with the adoption of strict prevention and control measures.

    Driving behaviors reported in these cases included erratic driving, errors in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs), and symptoms consistent with Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants, including slurred speech, incoordination, and lethargic behavior. Based on its prevalence and demonstrated impairing effects, bromazolam should be included in the scope of impaired driving testing as long as it continues to be prevalent in the drug supply.

    Journal:  Differences by race and ethnicity in drug use patterns, harm reduction practices and barriers to treatment among people who use drugs in Rhode Island. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 26, 2024   
    Non-Hispanic Black participants reported significantly less regular use of unregulated opioids, such as heroin (10%) and fentanyl (12%), as compared to non-Hispanic white participants (39% and 33%, respectively)...Current treatment enrollment was highest among those who were non-Hispanic white (38%) and lowest among those who were non-Hispanic Black (7%). These findings suggest that there are differences in overdose response experience and treatment exposure between non-Hispanic Black PWUD and those belonging to other racial and ethnic groups, indicating a need for enhanced investment in overdose response education, naloxone distribution and treatment access for non-Hispanic Black PWUD.
