The effects of alcohol use on smoking cessation treatment with nicotine replacement therapy: An observational study
CONCLUSION: Heavy, hazardous alcohol use is associated with lower odds of successfully quitting smoking compared to low or non-use of alcohol. Targeting alcohol treatment to this group may improve tobacco cessation outcomes.PMID:38692071 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108045 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Long-term effects of alcohol consumption on anxiety in adults: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: A paucity of research on the longitudinal effects of alcohol consumption on anxiety was found, highlighting a significant gap in the research literature. Furthermore, existing research, primarily focussed on clinical subpopulations, has yielded mixed results. Further research is needed to explore the longitudinal dose dependent impact of alcohol consumption on anxiety using samples representative of national populations.PMID:38692070 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108047 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

An acute phase reaction from zoledronate mimicking symptoms seen in opioid withdrawal: a case report
CONCLUSION: Zoledronate, well known for causing acute phase reactions, was likely the cause of withdrawal-like symptoms. Acute phase reactions with bisphosphonates mostly occur in the first infusion, and the incidence decreases with subsequent infusions. Symptoms typically occur 24-72 h post-infusion, and last at most for 72 h. Cognitive bias led the primary team to be concerned with opioid withdrawal rather than investigating other causes for the patient's presentation. Therefore, providers should thoroughly investigate potential etiologies and rule them out accordingly to provide the best care. Health care providers shou...

Role of antioxidants in the neurobiology of drug addiction: An update
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 30;175:116604. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116604. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRelationships between protective enzymatic and non-enzymatic pro-antioxidant mechanisms and addictive substances use disorders (SUDs) are analyzed here, based on the results of previous research, as well as on the basis of our current own studies. This review introduces new aspects of comparative analysis of associations of pro-antixidant and neurobiological effects in patients taking psychoactive substances and complements very limited knowledge about relationships with SUDs from different regions, mainly Europe. ...

Substance Use Disorders and Addiction in the Emergency Care Setting
According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, substance use disorder (SUD) is described as a “cluster of cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms indicating that the individual continues to use alcohol, nicotine, and/or other drugs despite significant related problems” (the American Society of Addiction Medicine national practice guideline for the treatment of opioid use disord er: 2020 focused update, 2020, p. 7). Even with extensive evidence of the devastation that substance abuse has on lives and livelihood and the impact use, abuse, and addiction have on our emergency departments, substance use ...
