Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1881: CB1 Receptor Negative Allosteric Modulators as a Potential Tool to Reverse Cannabinoid Toxicity

Alex Straiker
While the opioid crisis has justifiably occupied news headlines, emergency rooms are seeing many thousands of visits for another cause: cannabinoid toxicity. This is partly due to the spread of cheap and extremely potent synthetic cannabinoids that can cause serious neurological and cardiovascular complications—and deaths—every year. While an opioid overdose can be reversed by naloxone, there is no analogous treatment for cannabis toxicity. Without an antidote, doctors rely on sedatives, with their own risks, or ‘waiting it out’ to treat thes...

A Deep Dive into Opioid Antagonist Use for Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD)
1. Utilizing a case-based approach, participants will be able to 1) Describe the pathophysiology of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD); 2) Differentiate the pharmacology and formulations of naloxone and nalmefene to mitigate OIRD in the hospice and2. 3) Discuss the use of naloxone and risks in polysubstance overdoses; 4) Identify patients who may or may not benefit from naloxone or nalmefene depending on concurrent antagonists which may prevent or modulate OIRD; 5) Recommend opportunities to optimize.

Self-Reported Disability Type and Risk of Alcohol-Induced Death - A Longitudinal Study Using Nationally Representative Data
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of alcohol-induced death varies considerably by disability type. Efforts to prevent alcohol-induced deaths should be tailored to meet the needs of the highest-risk groups, including adults with complex activity (i.e., activities of daily living - "ALDs"), vision, mobility, and ≥2 limitations. Early diagnosis and treatment of alcohol use disorder within these populations, and improved access to educational and occupational opportunities, should be considered as prevention strategies for alcohol-induced deaths.PMID:38635979 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2340993 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)
