Journal: Refining cause of death attribution among opioid, opioid-stimulant and stimulant acute toxicity deaths. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 17, 2025 In San Francisco, USA, causes of death and other significant condition characteristics among deaths attributed to fentanyl appear to be similar regardless of the involvement of stimulants, but are markedly different from deaths involving stimulants without opioids. When reporting on drug-related mortality and developing interventions, deaths attributed to a combination of fentanyl and stimulants may be appropriately considered in the context of opioid overdose prevention, while deaths attributed to stimulants without opioids may require a response focused on preventing and treating underlying chronic medical conditions.

Journal: Gender-based differences in harm reduction practices among people who use drugs in Rhode island: a latent class analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 14, 2025 We found that harm reduction practices and group membership in latent classes were largely comparable between men and women; however, men who use drugs are significantly less likely to keep naloxone nearby. Gender-attentive strategies to increase naloxone carriage and usage among men and enhanced outreach to persons characterized by no or low harm reduction practice utilization, including people who are single and those with a history of incarceration, may be warranted to mitigate overdose risk.

Journal: Exploring disparities in overdose fatalities and naloxone administration.

Journal: Mu-opioid mediated discriminative stimulus effects of fentanyl and xylazine: Dose-response and time-course studies. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 10, 2025 In drug combination tests, xylazine did not influence the acute effects of fentanyl; however, xylazine dose-dependently increased the duration of fentanyl's stimulus effects. These data indicate that xylazine does not produce discriminative stimulus effects like prototypical mu-opioid agonists but prolongs the mu-opioid mediated discriminative stimulus effects of fentanyl, which may partially explain its use in some populations who misuse opioids.

The added mobility separation resulted in the separation of isomeric compounds without compromising the sensitivity of the LC-q-TOF MS/MS analysis; that is, a good linear dynamic and (R2 > 0.98) and low limits of detection (LOD) in the 0.08-4 ng/mL range were observed for all synthetic analogues (?100 analogues can be observed with LOD < 1 ng/mL).
