Acellular Adipose Matrices Seem to Be an Effective and Safe Strategy for Soft Tissue Regeneration and Volume Restoration: A Systematic Review of Clinically Relevant Literature.

Autologous adipose tissue grafting (AAG) can provide soft tissue reconstruction in congenital defects, traumatic injuries, cancer care, or cosmetic procedures; over 94,000 AAG procedures are performed in the United States every year. Despite its effectiveness, the efficiency of AAG is limited by unpredictable adipocyte survival, impacting graft volume retention (26-83%). Acellular adipose matrices (AAMs) have emerged as a potential alternative to AAG.

"Just Be Relentless," Lessons Learned from In-Hospital Addiction Consult Service Implementation.

Background: Hospitalization is a "reachable" moment to engage people in addiction care. Addiction consult services (ACSs) have been shown to improve outcomes for hospitalized patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). Despite this, most hospital systems do not provide hospital-based addiction care or have an ACS.

Hospital Provider's Perspectives on MOUD Initiation and Continuation After Inpatient Discharge.

Background: Individuals with opioid use disorder have high rates of hospital admissions, which represent a critical opportunity to engage patients and initiate medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). However, few patients receive MOUD and, even if MOUD is initiated in the hospital, patients may encounter barriers to continuing MOUD in the community.

Objective: Describe hospital providers' experiences and perspectives to inform initiatives and policies that support hospital-based MOUD initiation and continuation in community treatment programs.

Toward a Consensus on Strategies to Support Opioid Use Disorder Care Transitions Following Hospitalization: A Modified Delphi Process.

Background: Despite proliferation of acute-care interventions to initiate medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), significant challenges remain to supporting care continuity following discharge. Research is needed to inform effective hospital strategies to support patient transitions to ongoing MOUD in the community.

Objective: To inform a taxonomy of care transition strategies to support MOUD continuity from hospital to community-based settings and assess their perceived impact and feasibility among experts in the field.

[Opioid crisis in the USA: what are implications for Switzerland?].

Warnings in Europe signal a rise in illicitly-manufactured fentanyl and other high potency synthetic opioids which could destabilize drug markets, strain health systems, and escalate harms of substance use and death. Here, we provide an overview of fentanyl in North America, drawing implications for Switzerland. Fentanyl withdrawal starts sooner, is more severe, and has worse anxiety and pain.
