Heroin abusers’ performance on the Tower of London Test relates to the baseline EEG alpha2 mean frequency shifts

, 2004
Planning function deficit is the most consistent finding in neuropsychological studies of heroin addicts. The performance on the Tower of London Test (TLT) correlated with the duration of daily heroin abuse (DDHA) in our previous study.

Development of a nalmefene formulation suitable for a community‐use auto‐injector

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Time to onset of reversal is critical when treating opioid‐induced respiratory depression and hypoxia. This study aimed to develop a formulation of the opioid antagonist nalmefene with an increased absorption rate and reduced time to onset of reversal following intramuscular administration. Methods Several absorption enhancers were screened in rats,

Variants of opioid system genes are associated with non-dependent opioid use and heroin dependence [PDF]

, 2016
Heroin addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease. Genetic factors are involved in the development of drug addiction. The aim of this study was to determine whether specific variants in genes of the opioid system are associated with non-dependent ...

Detection of Nitazenes in the Illicit Drug Supply Utilizing Precursor Ion Scan Methods With Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Nitazenes are increasingly present in the illicit drug supply, complicating harm reduction efforts. We have developed a rapid, nontargeted precursor ion scan method to detect emerging nitazenes in real‐world opioid samples. The method identified multiple nitazenes, often replacing pharmaceutical opioids or mixed with fentanyl and benzodiazepines ...

Monitoring Injected Drug Use in Greece Through Syringe Residue Analysis: A Multicity Study Within the ESCAPE Network

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A total of 2121 used syringes were analyzed in Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras between 2022 and 2024. Distinct drug‐use patterns were observed across the three cities. Benzodiazepines, pregabalin, methadone, and fentanyl were increasingly detected in 2024.

Decreased Relative Cerebral Blood Flow in Unmedicated Heroin-Dependent Individuals

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Understanding the brain mechanisms of heroin dependence is invaluable for developing effective treatment. Measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) provides a method to visualize brain circuits that are functionally impaired by heroin dependence.
