Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

620
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Opioid Receptors: Overview01:22

Opioid Receptors: Overview

7.2K
Opioid receptors, including the mu (μ, MOR), delta (δ, DOR), and kappa (κ, KOR) types, belong to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and in non-neuronal tissues such as macrophages and astrocytes. Opioid receptor ligands can be categorized into agonists or antagonists. Highly selective agonists include [d-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5]-enkephalin or DAMGO for MOR, [D-Pen2,...

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners

1.7K
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

1.5K
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.5K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Treatment Strategies01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Treatment Strategies

279
Treatment strategies for poisoning are a critical aspect of emergency medicine, focusing on preventing the absorption of toxins and enhancing their elimination. When a poisoning incident occurs, the first response is to halt exposure and decontaminate the patient, particularly through gastrointestinal (GI) methods if the poison was ingested.Gastrointestinal Decontamination Techniques:Activated charcoal is the cornerstone of GI decontamination. It works through adsorption, binding the toxin to...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Community Health
  • Substance Abuse Research

Background:

  • Community engagement is vital for tackling public health challenges.
  • Opioid overdose deaths remain a significant public health crisis.
  • The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aims to reduce opioid-related harms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail lessons learned from community engagement efforts to reduce opioid overdose deaths.
  • To describe strategies used in wave 2 of the HCS.
  • To provide reflections from facilitators on implementing evidence-based practices.

Main Methods:

  • Community engagement strategies including coalition-building, collaboration, health equity focus, policy advocacy, stigma reduction, and involving people with lived experience (PWLE).
  • Reflections from community engagement facilitators (CEFs) on strategy implementation.
  • Analysis of lessons learned from 9 Ohio communities.

Main Results:

  • Successful community engagement requires constant focus on collaboration.
  • Discussing equity can identify subgroups needing targeted interventions.
  • Engaging PWLE builds trust on sensitive topics like addiction.

Conclusions:

  • Community collaboration is essential for successful engagement.
  • Prioritizing health equity aids in targeted interventions.
  • Involving people with lived experience is key to reducing stigma and building trust.
