Objectives: Buprenorphine is becoming a key component of prehospital management of opioid use disorder (OUD). It is unclear how many prehospital patients might be eligible for buprenorphine induction, as traditional induction requires that patients first have some degree of opioid withdrawal. The primary aim of this study was to quantify how many patients developed precipitated withdrawal after receiving prehospital naloxone for suspected overdose, as they could be candidates for prehospital buprenorphine.

The acoel undergoes whole-body regeneration using Piwi+ pluripotent adult stem cells (neoblasts) that accumulate at amputation sites early in the regeneration process. The EGFR signaling pathway has broad roles in controlling proliferation, migration, differentiation, and cell survival across metazoans.

This review paper explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Continued Process Verification (CPV) in the biopharmaceutical industry. Originating from the CPV of the Future project, the study investigates the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating AI into CPV, focusing on real-time data analysis and proactive process adjustments. The paper highlights the importance of aligning AI solutions with regulatory standards and offers a set of comprehensive recommendations to bridge the gap between AI's potential and its practical, compliant, and safe application in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

We evaluated the (1) intervention effectiveness and (2) implementation effectiveness of ImPaC using a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation study (ie, cluster randomized controlled trial and longitudinal descriptive study). Eligible level 2 and 3 Canadian NICUs were randomized to intervention (INT) or waitlisted to usual care (UC) for 6 months.
