Article Synopsis
- GHB is frequently used in sexuality and gender diverse communities, leading to a significant risk of overdose, which can be fatal; recent studies indicate a rise in GHB-related deaths.
- A qualitative study interviewed 31 individuals who use GHB, exploring their actions and decisions when witnessing someone else's overdose, often occurring in private, sexualized settings.
- Findings revealed a lack of consensus on what constitutes a GHB overdose and highlighted unsafe response practices, underscoring the need for targeted education programs on overdose prevention and first aid response, including proper EMS contact procedures.
Background: GHB is used among some sexuality and gender diverse populations at elevated rates, however little qualitative research has explored GHB use among these populations with regards to diverse contexts, settings, practices, and experiences of use. Internationally, harms relating to GHB overdose appear to be increasing. Research outlining consumers' experiences of GHB-related pleasures and their strategies to reduce harms may inform GHB education and intervention responses.

Despite a number of well-known nasal segmentation methods being available, there is currently a lack of an automated, CFD targeted segmentation framework to reliably compute accurate patient-specific nasal models. This paper demonstrates the potential of a robust nasal cavity segmentation framework to automatically segment and produce nasal models for CFD.
