IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16436: Buprenorphine Microdosing Cross Tapers: A Time for Change
Lembke Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved to treat chronic pain and opioid use disorder (OUD). The national prescribing guidelines in the United States (US) recommend that patients transitioning from full opioid agonists to buprenorphine first undergo 12 or more hours of active opioid withdrawal, in order to avoid buprenorphine-precipitated opioid withdrawal. This opioid-free period imposes a significant barrier for many patients. Evidence is accumulating that using microdoses of buprenorphine to cross taper from full-agonist opioids to buprenorphine is a safe...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 6610: Preliminary Evidence of the Association between Time on Buprenorphine and Cognitive Performance among Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder Maintained on Buprenorphine: A Pilot Study
This study has compared cognitive responses to the Stroop Task and the Continuous Performance Task (CPT) among individuals on BMT, with recent drug use, and healthy controls and explored the associations between cognitive responses and drug use, craving, and buprenorphine use among participants on BMT. The participants were 16 individuals on BMT and 23 healthy controls. All participants completed a 60 min laboratory session in which they completed the Stroop Task and the CPT, a saliva drug test, a brief clinical history that collected substance-use- and treatment-related information, and the Opioid Craving Scale. The resul...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 6281: Identifying and Characterizing Medical Advice-Seekers on a Social Media Forum for Buprenorphine Use
Conclusions: Our findings provide insights for the clinical care of people recovering from opioid use disorder and the nature of online medical advice-seeking overall. Clinicians should be especially attentive (e.g., through frequent follow-up) to patients who are inducting or tapering buprenorphine-naloxone or signal limited social support.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 4106: Effects of Buprenorphine Dose and Therapeutic Engagement on Illicit Opiate Use in Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Trials
Andrew J. Saxon The impact of agonist dose and of physician, staff and patient engagement on treatment have not been evaluated together in an analysis of treatment for opioid use disorder. Our hypotheses were that greater agonist dose and therapeutic engagement would be associated with reduced illicit opiate use in a time-dependent manner. Publicly-available treatment data from six buprenorphine efficacy and safety trials from the Federally-supported Clinical Trials Network were used to derive treatment variables. Three novel predictors were constructed to capture the time weighted effects of buprenorphine dosage (mg b...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 11072: Association between Participation in Counseling and Retention in a Buprenorphine-Assisted Treatment Program for People Experiencing Homelessness with Opioid Use Disorder
. Urada The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis that disproportionately affects our unsheltered neighbors. Because medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is effective for preventing deaths from drug overdose and retention is associated with better health outcomes, there is a clear need for more research on factors impacting retention in care. This retrospective cohort analysis examines the relationship between attendance in counseling and retention on buprenorphine for three or more months for individuals experiencing homelessness being treated at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Public Health Service ...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 1425: What Differs between Patients under Methadone and under Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in Daily Clinical Practice in France? A Short Report
Conclusions: In daily clinical practice, somatic damage was significantly more severe among MTD patients. Age and route of administration also differed, and our results could raise the issue of the type of OMT prescribed in case of non-medical use of prescribed opioids. These hypothesis should be confirmed in larger studies.

Recognition of a linear source contamination based on a mixed-integer stacked chaos gate recurrent unit neural network-hybrid sparrow search algorithm
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Jan 14. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-18538-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGroundwater contamination source recognition involves the recovery of contamination source time series release histories from observation data. In the present study, a linear source contamination recognition task was addressed. When using a simulation-optimization inverse framework to solve the recognition task, high calculated expense and high dimensional search space always hinder the task efficiency. Moreover, traditional surrogate methods face obstacle of handling with time-sequence data. Therefore, a novel stacked c...

An interval-valued carbon price forecasting method based on web search data and social media sentiment
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Aug 10. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29028-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccurate carbon price prediction is a crucial task for the carbon trading market. Previous studies have ignored the impact of online data and are limited to point predictions, which brings challenges to the accurate forecasting of carbon prices. To address those issues, this paper proposes an interval-valued carbon price forecasting method based on web search data and social media sentiment. First, we collect web search data and social media sentiment to improve prediction performance by synthesizing multiple types of da...

A validated search filter for the identification of endocrine disruptors based on the ECHA/EFSA guidance recommendations.
In this study, a search filter for targeted literature search in context of assessing if a substance can be identified as an ED relevant for human health was developed and validated. Development of the search filter was based on the search strategy presented in the ECHA/EFSA guidance and using the estrogenic chemical Bisphenol AF (BPAF) as a model substance. Information specialists from two independent institutions developed refined search filters based on the suggested original search strategy published (ECHA/EFSA guidance - Appendix F). Articles identified by a systematic literature search for BPAF were screened for rele...

Google search patterns monitoring the daily health impact of heatwaves in England: How do the findings compare to established syndromic surveillance systems from 2013 to 2017?
Abstract One of the implications of climate change is a predicted increase in frequent and severe heatwaves. The impact of heatwaves on the health of the population is captured through real-time syndromic healthcare surveillance systems monitored daily in England during the summer months. Internet search data could potentially provide improved timeliness and help to assess the wider population health impact of heat by capturing a population sub-group who are symptomatic but do not seek healthcare. A retrospective observational study was carried out from June 2013 to September 2017 in England to compare daily trend...

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 3201: The Validity of Google Trends Search Volumes for Behavioral Forecasting of National Suicide Rates in Ireland
ann Jim Duggan Annual suicide figures are critical in identifying trends and guiding research, yet challenges arising from significant lags in reporting can delay and complicate real-time interventions. In this paper, we utilized Google Trends search volumes for behavioral forecasting of national suicide rates in Ireland between 2004 and 2015. Official suicide rates are recorded by the Central Statistics Office in Ireland. While similar investigations using Google trends data have been carried out in other jurisdictions (e.g., United Kingdom, United Stated of America), such research had not yet been completed in Irel...

Parallel heuristic search strategy based on a Bayesian approach for simultaneous recognition of contaminant sources and aquifer parameters at DNAPL-contaminated sites.
In this study, we develop a parallel heuristic search strategy based on a Bayesian approach for simultaneously recognizing groundwater contaminant sources and aquifer parameters (unknown variables) at sites contaminated with dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). The parallel search strategy is time-consuming because thousands of simulation models must run in order to calculate the likelihood. Various stand-alone surrogate systems for the simulation models have been established, but they also have unavoidable limitations. Thus, we develop an optimal combined surrogate system by combining Gaussian process, kernel extreme...
