Detection of Opioid Users from Reddit Posts via an Attention-based Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network [PDF]
The opioid epidemic, referring to the growing hospitalizations and deaths because of overdose of opioid usage and addiction, has become a severe health problem in the United States. Many strategies have been developed by the federal and local governments and health communities to combat this crisis.

Genetically‐targeted control of the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system
Application of genetically‐targeted stimulation for treating diseases or injuries outside the brain. Optogenetic and chemogenetic systems have been developed for dysfunction in the cochlea, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), peripheral nerves, lower urinary tract, and enteric nervous system (ENS). Created with Biorender.com.

The 730 nm Picosecond Titanium Sapphire Laser for Treatment of Kratom‐Induced Hyperpigmentation
ABSTRACT Objectives This case series reports the use of the 730‐nm picosecond titanium‐sapphire laser in the treatment of kratom‐induced hyperpigmentation, a dermatological side effect associated with the use of Mitragyna speciosa, which remains poorly understood. Methods A series of patients with kratom‐induced hyperpigmentation were treated using the

Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

The three genes encoding the opioid peptide precursors (prodynorphin, proenkephalin, and proopiomelanocortin) are expressed in the rat testis. The sizes of the three opioid mRNAs in the testis differ from the sizes of the corresponding mRNAs in other rat

Evidence of Involvement of the Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in Restless Legs Syndrome
Abstract Background Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensory‐motor disorder characterized by an urge to move the legs, often with unpleasant sensations, particularly during rest. Current treatments include iron supplementation, dopamine agonists, and opioids, but new therapeutic approaches are needed.
