Private prescribing of controlled opioids in England, 2014-2021: a retrospective observational study
CONCLUSION: Controlled opioids prescribed by private prescribers in England decreased and were primarily prescribed in London. To ensure patient safety, the monitoring and surveillance of controlled opioids dispensed privately should continue and items linked to 'unidentified doctors' should be addressed further.PMID:37957023 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0146 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Comparison of different sustained ‐release opioids and acute respiratory conditions in patients with cancer and chronic kidney disease
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that the risk of acute respiratory conditions may be lower in patients with CKD who use oxycodone for cancer pain than in those who use morphine. Additionally, no difference in the risk of acute respiratory conditions was found between oxycodone and fentanyl use. (Source: Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy)

Report Finds VA ’s Prescribing of Benzodiazepines to Homeless ‘Risky,’ ‘Inappropriate’
Homeless veterans with mental illness who use Veterans Affairs (VA) health services are less likely to receive prescriptions for benzodiazepines than those with mental illness who are not homeless, according to areport published this week inPsychiatric Services. When homeless veterans are prescribed benzodiazepines, however, they appear more likely than their peers to receive prescriptions that put them at risk for substance use disorder, overdose, and death, the study found.Drug overdose is a leading cause of death among homeless people, and benzodiazepines are often implicated in such overdose deaths, wrote Katherine Koh...

Contingent administration of typical and biased kappa opioid agonists reduces cocaine and oxycodone choice in a drug vs. food choice procedure in male rhesus monkeys
ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that salvinorin A and triazole 1.1, but not nalfurafine, selectively reduce cocaine and oxycodone self-administration independent of nonspecific effects on behavior, suggesting that G-protein bias does not appear to be a moderating factor in this outcome. Triazole 1.1 represents an important prototypical compound for developing novel KOR agonists as deterrents for prescription opioid abuse. (Source: Psychopharmacology)
