Opioid-induced hypogonadism in opioid use disorder, its role in negative reinforcement, and implications for treatment and retention
Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse. 2024 Feb 6:1-7. doi: 10.1080/00952990.2023.2292012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypogonadism is a highly prevalent complication of chronic opioid use associated with a constellation of affective, algesic, and cognitive symptoms as well as decreased quality of life. Given that the mainstays of pharmacologic opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment - methadone and buprenorphine - are themselves agonists or partial agonists at the mu opioid receptor, opioid-induced hypogonadism (OIH) remains an underappreciated clinical concern throughout the course of OUD treatment. Prominent theoretical frameworks for ...

A scoping review of health inequities in alcohol use disorder
Conclusions: This scoping review highlights the gaps in research on inequities in AUD. To bridge the current gaps, we recommend research on the following: 1) triage screening tools and the use of telemedicine for rural, under-resourced populations; 2) interventions to increase treatment engagement and retention for women; and 3) community-based participatory methodologies for the LGBTQ+ communities.PMID:38295346 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2296860 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Racial and ethnic inequities in substance use treatment among women with opioid use disorder
Conclusions: Receipt of treatment is low among women with OUD, especially Black and Hispanic women. Intersectional intervention approaches are needed to increase access and reduce inequities.PMID:38295349 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2291748 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

GxE interaction effects of < em > HCRTR2 < /em > single nucleotide polymorphism and adverse childhood experiences on methamphetamine use disorder
Conclusion: HCRTR2 SNP rs2653349 has no significant impact on MUD risk, but ACEs may increase this risk. GxE results suggest that rs2653349 could offer protection against developing MUD in individuals experiencing multiple types of ACEs.PMID:38295363 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2297661 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Feasibility of a telehealth-based contingency management intervention for alcohol use disorders using the phosphatidylethanol (PEth) 16:0/18:1 alcohol biomarker: a pilot randomized trial
Conclusion: Results support the acceptability and satisfaction of a telehealth PEth-based CM intervention, though a larger study is needed to assess its efficacy [NCT04038021].PMID:38284925 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2283691 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Cannabis use in adolescents and anxiety symptoms and disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Discussion: In summary, the current evidence suggests a prospective association between adolescent cannabis use and later anxiety symptoms and disorders. These findings underscore the importance of refining research methodologies, considering sex-based differences and controlling for confounding factors, as well as implementing educational initiatives and developing clinical interventions to address the mental health risks associated with cannabis use among adolescents.PMID:38285048 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2299922 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Effects of fisetin on ethanol-induced rewarding properties in mice
Conclusions: Fisetin appears to diminish the rewarding properties of ethanol, as indicated by its inhibitory effect and facilitation of extinction in ethanol-induced CPP. These findings imply a potential therapeutic application of fisetin in preventing ethanol-seeking behavior, promoting extinction, and reducing the risk of relapse.PMID:38235981 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2292976 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Ethanol causes non-communicable disease through activation of NLRP3 inflammasome: a review on mechanism of action and potential interventions
Conclusion: Preclinical research supports a role for ethanol-induced NLRP3 inflammasome in the development of NCDs. However, the clinical relevance remains uncertain in the relative absence of clinical studies.PMID:38237017 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2297349 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

The association of alcohol consumption with the risk of sarcopenia: a dose-response meta-analysis
Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis indicate that alcohol consumption is not a risk factor for the development of sarcopenia. Any suggestion of a putative protective effect of alcohol should be treated with caution, particularly in light of the overall lack of relationship reported in the present comprehensive meta-analysis.PMID:38232346 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2300049 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)
