Countless initiatives have been employed to reduce methamphetamine use and drug-related harm. Wastewater analysis (WWA) has been used effectively as an objective measure of drug use at a population level and can be compared to indicators of harm, such as the number of drug-related fata...
A thorough inspection of the container's contents led to the discovery of the drugs in a secret compartment, the type of drug was later confirmed by forensic officers. "Despite efforts by criminal networks to evade detection, authorities are continuing to identify and disrupt the syndicates who a...
The most promising approach for investigating illegal synthetic drugs may be the study of drug precursors and how the precursors’ isotopic signals are maintained or modified during the production process. Pseudoephedrine, a direct precursor to methamphetamine, is largely produced by the fermentation of ...
Low Striatal Dopamine D2-type Receptor Availability is Linked to Simulated Drug Choice in Methamphetamine UsersIndividuals with drug use disorders seek drugs over other rewarding activities, and exhibit neurochemical deficits related to dopamine, which is involved in value-based learning and decision-...
(MDA, also known as "sally"), ephedrine, ketamine, paracetamol, inactive substitutes, some producing hemodynamic effects.[4][5][6]As a result, significant adverse effects and toxicity can occur with one-time or first-time ingestion due to the unknown dosage and composition of the drug.[7]...
Meth significantly increased proceptive behaviors in hormonally primed wild type and cFos-lacZ transgenic rats compared to those treated with EB + P alone. A two-way ANOVA with drug and genetic strain as factors revealed a significant main effect of Meth (F(1,12) = 61.99, p <...
Psychiatric: For signs/symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction; for the emergence/worsening of ticsPatient advice:Read the US FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide). Store this drug in a safe place (preferably locked); do not give this drug to anyone else. This drug may impair th...
Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly addictive psychostimulant drug, whose abuse has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. METH use is disproportionally represented among populations at high risks for developing HIV infection or who are already infected with the virus. Psychostimulant abuse has been repo...
Parental substance abuse, drug dependence (rather than abuse or use), and visual hallucinations were predictive of a substance-induced psychosis. Additionally, persons with substance-induced psychosis had lower Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores, greater awareness of psychotic symptoms ...
1A). However, the functional link between proline and glutamate during drug exposure induced glutamate neurotransmission is poorly understood. Therefore, we examined the effects of METH exposure on proline metabolism using the SH-SY5Y neuronal cell model. First, we measured the levels of enzymes of...
