概括
通过加密货币市场购买毒品与社交联系减少和不良事件增加有关,特别是可卡因和LSD. 这表明,加密货币市场的毒品使用可能会加剧与毒品有关的危害.
科学领域:
- 毒品使用和公共卫生研究.
- 在线非法毒品市场.
- 社交网络分析.
背景情况:
- 毒品使用往往是社会性的,但加密货币市场供应使单独使用成为可能,可能会增加风险.
- 在紧急情况下,孤独的吸毒者可能缺乏立即援助.
- 加密货币市场可能会提供降低危害的信息和标准化药品.
研究的目的:
- 调查加密货币市场购买药物,社交网络和不良药物事件之间的联系.
- 为了分析MDMA,可卡因和LSD的这些关系.
- 了解在线药物采购对用户安全的影响.
主要方法:
- 分析了来自70多个国家的2018年全球毒品调查的子样本 (n=23,053).
- 检查了最近的加密货币市场使用情况,使用毒品的社交网络以及需要医疗治疗的不良药物事件.
- 使用二进制后勤回归,控制年龄,性别和药物使用频率.
主要成果:
- 最近的加密货币市场使用与缺乏使用毒品的社交网络相关.
- 加密市场用户对可卡因 (AOR=1.70) 和LSD (AOR=1.58) 的不良事件的可能性更高.
- 对于拥有较大的社交网络的加密市场用户,不良LSD事件的可能性也更高 (AOR=1.86).
结论:
- 购买加密货币市场药物的购买者更有可能在社会上被孤立,并经历不良事件.
- 研究结果表明,加密货币市场的毒品使用与与毒品相关的危害增加有关.

Pharmacovigilance
850
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

Drug Regulation
1.4K
Drug regulation encompasses the management of drug usage by evaluating its safety and efficacy through assessments conducted by regulatory authorities. Regrettably, the history of drug regulation is marred by several catastrophic events. One such incident is the Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy, in which the toxic compound diethyl glycol was included in a sweet-tasting medication, leading to numerous fatalities. This event prompted the enactment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938. Under...

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview
2.0K
When it comes to infants and young children, they are typically administered smaller doses of medication in comparison to adults. This is primarily because their organ functions still need to fully develop, meaning their bodies are not as efficient at metabolizing or eliminating drugs. Additionally, their blood-brain barrier is more permeable than in adults. As a result, high concentrations of drugs can easily penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), potentially leading to neurological...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
487
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Drug Concentration Versus Time Correlation
796
The plasma drug concentration-time curve is a crucial tool in pharmacokinetics, representing the drug's concentration in plasma at different time intervals post-administration. This curve illustrates the drug's journey from absorption into the systemic circulation, distribution to body tissues, and eventual elimination through excretion or biotransformation.
Two pivotal parameters are the minimum effective concentration (MEC) and the minimum toxic concentration (MTC). The MEC is the...

Drug Concentrations: Measurements
377
Drug concentration is the quantity of a drug present in a biological sample. Measuring drug amounts in biological samples allows the clinician to understand how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Samples can be obtained through invasive or non-invasive methods. Invasive techniques involve surgical or parenteral interventions to gather blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or tissue biopsy. Conversely, non-invasive approaches provide samples like urine, feces, and saliva.
