5‐Methoxy‐N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (5‐MeO‐DMT) for alcohol use disorder: An open‐label, phase 2, proof‐of‐concept, clinical trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Psychedelic drugs may help treat alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study evaluated BPL‐003, a novel intranasal powder formulation of 5‐methoxy‐N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (5‐MeO‐DMT) benzoate salt, in people with moderate–severe AUD enrolled in a standard of care, 10‐week programme of relapse‐prevention oriented Cognitive ...

A divisibility property for stirling numbers

Journal of Number Theory, 1978
AbstractIn this paper we calculate which prime powers ps divide Δn, m = g.c.d.{k! S(n, k)|m ≤ k ≤ n} for s < p. Here S(n, k) is a Stirling number of the second kind.

Financial incentives for maintaining postpartum smoking abstinence: 3–4‐year follow‐up of the Financial Incentives for Prevention of Postpartum Return to Smoking (FIPPS) randomised controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims We followed up a financial incentives trial aimed at maintaining smoking cessation postpartum, which showed some positive effects at one year, to assess sustained abstinence at 3–4 years postpartum. Design, setting and participants Secondary analysis of longer‐term outcomes of a pragmatic, multi‐centre, three‐arm randomized

Prenatal opioid exposure, and health, social and educational outcomes for school‐aged children: A systematic review

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Recent decades have seen a rise in the number of pregnancies exposed to opioids. Whilst evidence of the impact of such exposure on pregnancy and infant outcomes is fairly robust, the impact of prenatal opioid exposure (POE) on longer‐term outcomes for children and young people remains unclear.

Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind

, 2013
Educação Superior::Ciências Exatas e da Terra::MatemáticaThe Stirling numbers of the second kind, or Stirling partition numbers, sometimes denoted {n k}, count the number of ways to partition a set of n elements into k discrete, nonempty subsets.
