From Kid to K-9: A Case of Benzodiazepine Withdrawal-Induced Zoopsic Intermetamorphosis () - Jan 21, 2020 - Abstract #AAN2020AAN_1470; Possibly benzodiazepine withdrawal leads to a reduction in gamma-aminobutyric acid with associated disinhibition phenomenon and thus positive symptoms occur. While metamorphosis has been described with occipital/occipitotemporal lobe lesions (Pryse-Phillips, 2003), no such pathology was noted in this patient.

Journal: Tramadol, Methadone and Benzodiazepines added to Alcoholic Beverages. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 16, 2020 The wide availability of addictive pharmaceutical is leading to fortification of alcoholic beverages on some countries. The addition of such depressant additives should be better known because of the potentially fatal consequences of the combination with ethanol, as well as the potential for adverse effects on behavior.

Journal: Prescription tranquilizer/sedative misuse prevalence and correlates across age cohorts in the US. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 In particular, those endorsing suicidality and reporting opioid misuse are a subgroup of concern, given their especially elevated rates of misuse and the increased risk for overdose imparted by tranquilizer/sedative medication. Workplace-based interventions for young adults and school-based universal prevention may be warranted to limit tranquilizer/sedative misuse in these groups.

Urine samples can be adulterated with other substances to mask positive results on urine drug testing. Family physicians must be familiar with these substances, the methods to detect them, and their effects on urine drug testing.

Clinical, Journal: Tracking narcotics consumption at a Southwestern U.S. university campus by wastewater-based epidemiology. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2019 Estimates of average narcotics consumption ranked as follows in units of mg/day/1000 persons: heroin (474 ± 32), cocaine (551 ± 49), amphetamine (256 ± 12), methylphenidate (236 ± 28), methadone (72 ± 8), oxycodone (80 ± 6), alprazolam (60 ± 2), MDMA (88 ± 35), codeine (50 ± 4), and morphine (18 ± 3). This campus-based WBE study yielded baseline data on 12 narcotics for a U.S. campus and demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of detecting the fentanyl metabolite norfentanyl in this setting.

Clinical, Journal: A Clinically Applicable Positive Allosteric Modulator of GABA Receptors Promotes Human β-Cell Replication and Survival as well as GABA's Ability to Inhibit Inflammatory T Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 24, 2019 Here, we assessed whether treatment with alprazolam, a widely prescribed GABA-R PAM, could promote β-cell survival and replication in human islets after implantation into NOD/scid mice...Thus, combined GABA-R agonist and PAM treatment may help control inflammatory immune responses using reduced drug dosages. Together, these findings suggest that GABA-R PAMs represent a promising drug class for safely modulating islet cells toward beneficial outcomes to help prevent or reverse T1D and, together with a GABA-R agonist, may have broader applications for ameliorating other disorders in which inflammation contributes to the disease process.

Together, these findings suggest that GABA-R PAMs represent a promising drug class for safely modulating islet cells toward beneficial outcomes to help prevent or reverse T1D and, together with a GABA-R agonist, may have broader applications for ameliorating other disorders in which inflammation contributes to the disease process. Non-prescribed psychoactive drugs are commonly found at post-mortem in drug poisoning deaths in Finland with history of drug abuse being a major contributing factor.

Journal: Characterization and performance evaluation of functional monomer effect on molecular imprinted polyurethane foam. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 12, 2019 In the optimized condition, the synthesized polymer indicates high selectivity value about 71% for alprazolam and 96.8% recovery for MIPUF compared with non-imprinted polyurethane foam (NIPUF). The linear dynamic range (LDR) of 0.03-60 mg L, the limit of detection of 8-10 μg L, the relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 3) of 2.88-3.65 % and quantification of 25-30 μg L is obtained for HPLC analysis based on PUF-MIP extraction.

Future pharmacologic studies of anxiety and depression in children may benefit from incorporating specific school refusal measures as secondary outcomes.

TOXIC INHALATIONAL LUNG INJURY FROM COUNTERFEIT ALPRAZOLAM REFRACTORY TO MECHANICAL VENTILATION REQUIRING VENO-VENO ECMO (Ernest N. Morial Convention Center - Exhibit Hall - Poster Area 2) - Sep 25, 2019 - Abstract #CHEST2019CHEST_3500; We are designing a targeted educational program for local primary care physicians (PCPs) that will attempt to decrease geriatric PIM use. While drug overdose is a common cause of respiratory failure in the intensive care unit, clinicians must remain vigilant for other acute complications of substance abuse including direct injury to the airway.
