Psilocybin and Ibogaine in Cocaine‐Seeking: Extinction Enhancement Without Relapse Prevention

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using a preclinical model of cocaine self‐administration, we examined the effects of psilocybin and ibogaine on extinction learning and relapse‐like behaviour. Both compounds, administered during the extinction phase, reduced cocaine seeking, indicating facilitation of extinction learning. However, neither treatment prevented cue‐induced reinstatement.

Prospective cohort study of fentanyl test strip use and distribution in three states: the stay safe study protocol and implementation recommendations for researchers

Harm Reduction Journal
Background The Stay Safe Study is the first observational prospective cohort study investigating fentanyl test strip (FTS) use by people who use drugs (PWUD) and distribution by community organizations that provide harm reduction services (e.g., naloxone

“It's such a terrible drug”: Narratives of fentanyl dealers amid the opioid overdose crisis

Criminology, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 5-27, February 2026.
Abstract The fentanyl‐fueled overdose crisis is historically lethal, yet the voices of those who sell fentanyl remain understudied. While research has focused extensively on people who use drugs (PWUD), the perspectives of people who sell fentanyl (PWSF) are largely absent from academic and policy discussions. This study draws on 87 in‐depth interviews

Exploring Preferences in Emergency Department Coordination of Opioid Use Disorder Treatment by Race and Ethnicity

Academic Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Significant racial and ethnic disparities exist in treatment referral engagement for opioid use disorder (OUD) after an emergency department (ED) visit. Little is known about how contextual factors influence preferences for ED OUD treatment coordination and how these preferences vary by race and ethnicity.

Additional file 3 of Testing the test strips: laboratory performance of fentanyl test strips

Additional file 3. Table 1A. Example of estimated FTS results for a methamphetamine sample with no fentanyl contamination, dependent on drug check concentration. Drug check concentration refers to the concentration achieved when dissolving the drug sample (an unknown, impure mixture of multiple components) in water in preparation for FTS testing. Table

Effect of peri‐operative pharmacological interventions on postoperative delirium in patients having cardiac surgery: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta‐analysis

Anaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 274-287, February 2026.
Summary Introduction Postoperative delirium is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Despite its known impact on patient outcomes, effective preventative strategies remain elusive. We aimed to perform a comprehensive Bayesian network meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials assessing the effect of pharmacological interventions on the ...

Fentanyl Test Strip Use and Overdose Risk Reduction Behaviors Among People Who Use Drugs

JAMA Network Open
ImportanceIllegal fentanyl is driving overdose mortality, and fentanyl test strips (FTS) can be used to test drugs for fentanyl at the point of consumption. Evidence on whether FTS use is associated with overdose risk reduction behaviors is encouraging, but largely limited to smaller, single-site studies.ObjectiveTo determine whether self-reported ...
