Journal: An antifentanyl monoclonal antibody reverses fentanyl-induced apnea in pigs. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2025 Here, we show that an anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibody reversed fentanyl-induced apnea in pigs, and caused rapid (<1 minute) redistribution of fentanyl into serum. Fentanyl was 99% bound by monoclonal antibodies and showed no activity at the opioid receptor.

Combining UDS and self-reported use could help provide a more accurate assessment of substance use.Clinical trial registrationThis study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03033732).

Journal: Is Fentanyl Rebound an Intrinsic Feature of Naloxone Reversal? (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2025 These data suggest that (i) the displacement of fentanyl into a metabolically active compartment and (ii) the delay in re-narcotization risk are both independent of naloxone's half-life and are likely to be more effectively achieved with higher doses of naloxone. Combined with the lower risk of precipitating protracted withdrawal, these findings support the clinical use of higher-dose naloxone over longer-acting antidotes for reversing fentanyl-related overdoses.

Journal: Within- and Between-Subject Analyses of the Effects of Chronic Xylazine on Negative Phototaxis in Two Planarian Species. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2025 Xylazine, an adulterant found frequently in illicit fentanyl, has been implicated in causing several adverse effects in human recreational users, including skin lesions and complications in the treatment of opiate overdose...Finally, a between-group design replicated potential interspecies differences when G. tigrina and S. mediterranea were compared directly, with the latter showing significantly greater susceptibility to drug effects. This work provides evidence of the utility of a planarian model for studying the behavioral effects of xylazine and lays the foundation for further investigation into the chronic effects of the drug.

Clinical, Journal: Efficacy and safety of morphine during thermal catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 26, 2025 This work shows how allosteric modulation alters the bias signaling profile of ?-opioid agonists. Thermal catheter ablation for AF can be performed under conscious sedation using only morphine in most patients without impacting the patient's pain experience.

Review, Journal: Recent advances in the identification and quantification of xylazine and medetomidine in biological specimens. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 26, 2025 Xylazine is a veterinary sedative that is frequently detected in the illicit drug supply, often found mixed with illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF)...Wider availability of analytical methods to detect xylazine, and now medetomidine, is crucial for responding to these health threats and increasing knowledge on the harms and potential therapies for exposed patients. This review covers what is currently known about these drugs, including observed concentrations in various biospecimens, expected major metabolites and windows of detection, and available analytical approaches for detecting exposure.

Journal: Changes in the proportion of fatal overdoses by substance type in the US, 1999-2021. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 26, 2025 Opioid deaths and stimulant deaths comprised at least 89% of overdose deaths, and methamphetamine and fentanyl represented rising proportions of fatal overdoses. To prevent drug deaths, resources should be directed primarily to therapies and interventions for opioids and stimulants.
- |||||||||| Journal: Combining the alpha-2 adrenergic agonist clonidine with naloxone rescues fentanyl-induced physiologic dysfunction and increases survival. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 26, 2025
Unlike morphine, high dose fentanyl rapidly produces airway obstruction, muscle rigidity, and cardiovascular failure...We also show that administration of intramuscular naloxone immediately after intravenous infusion of fentanyl did not improve survival...Also, supplementing naloxone with drugs targeting the adrenergic system improves survival primarily by reopening the upper airway, implicating airway obstruction as a significant component of fentanyl-induced respiratory depression. Therefore, reversal of vocal cord closure appears to be the necessary precursor to the restoration of not only respiration, but also vascular autoregulation, a significant determinant of survival from fentanyl overdose.

Journal: Characterizing Declines in US Overdose Deaths Compared to Exponential Predictions. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 24, 2025 Decreases reflected declining illicit fentanyl-involved deaths (with and without stimulants); however, deaths involving stimulants without fentanyl, and those involving xylazine, continued to increase in 2024...Racial gaps remain large but shrunk by a modest margin.Meaning: The course of the US overdose crisis is no longer consistent with an exponential growth curve, but novel substances and adulterants represent a potential driver of increased deaths in the future. Shifts occurring in 2024 were disproportionate by geography and race/ethnicity.

Journal: Anesthesiologists' Intraoperative Analgesic Practices for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2025 There were 377 participants who responded, with fentanyl being the primary opioid analgesic of choice (73.5%), and acetaminophen (72.3%) being the adjunct of choice...Conventional practice was principally mentioned as a barrier to utilizing an opioid-sparing technique (50%), followed by a lack of institutional policy (35.1%), and a lack of familiarity or comfort with the technique (34.8%) The efficacy of non-opioid drugs, in addition to comparisons between opioids, needs to be further established with longer-term, patient-centered clinical outcomes in mind. Educational and institutional policy interventions may play a ole in standardizing the use of intraoperative opioid use.

Clinical, Journal: The Impact of Intranasal Esketamine on Emergence Agitation in Children Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 19, 2025 Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane during surgery, and the children were transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after extubation...Relative to Group C, children in Group LE also showed significantly lower PAED (P = 0.010) and m-CHEOPS scores (P = 0.023), along with reduced requirements for rescue propofol (P = 0.005) and rescue fentanyl (P = 0.013)...Intranasal esketamine at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg significantly reduces the incidence of EA following pediatric adenotonsillectomy. Increasing the dose to 1 mg/kg does not confer additional benefit in preventing EA and may instead delay extubation.
