Drug use among people in prison: A global review of epidemiology, harms and interventions

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims People who use drugs are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. We aimed to provide a broad synthesis of the epidemiology, harms and interventions related to drug use and drug use disorders among incarcerated adults worldwide, and highlight gaps in evidence and practice.

Substance Use and Sex Index version 2 (SUSI‐2): Validation of a brief questionnaire for the measurement of behaviours associated with transmission of blood borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims This study sought to validate a community‐acceptable Substance Use & Sex Index (SUSI) for use in substance use intervention research. SUSI aims to measure behaviours associated with the transmission of blood‐borne viruses (BBV) and sexually transmitted infections (STI) among people who use substances and incorporate contemporary sexual ...

Endocannabinoid system gene expression in mesocorticolimbic brain regions of individuals with alcohol use disorder: A descriptive study

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To describe differences in the expression of genes encoding cannabinoid receptors (CNR1, CNR2), the associated receptor GRP55 and the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) between individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and controls in key mesocorticolimbic brain regions.

Acetylcholine From Solitary Chemosensory Cell, Not Neuron, Regulates Basal Cell Fate Driving Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study identifies that Ach levels are elevated in eCRSwNP and primarily released from SCCs rather than neurons. Ach induces epithelial remodeling in eCRSwNP by binding to M1R/M3R and activating YAP signaling in basal cells, driving basal cell hyperplasia and abnormal differentiation. Blocking M1R/M3R with TB inhibits eCRSwNP progression.

Biliary Glutathione as a Potential Marker for Viability Assessment of Cholangiocytes During Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Livers

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study identifies biliary glutathione concentration during normothermic machine perfusion as a potential biomarker for biliary viability. Increasing GSH levels correlate with fewer biliary complications post‐transplant, supporting its role in assessing graft quality and improving decision‐making in liver transplantation.
