Low-Dose Initiation of Buprenorphine: A Narrative Review.

Purpose Of Review: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic disorder in which a person loses control over the use of opioids, develops a compulsive behavior, and defends the use despite knowing the negative consequences. There are numerous treatments for OUD, including buprenorphine. Since it is displacing a full agonist opioid, precipitated withdrawal can occur with standard inductions involving buprenorphine.

Electrocardiographic Features and Outcome: Correlations in 124 Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 and Cardiovascular Events.

Objectives: Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes have been associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity. However, the progression of ECG findings in patients with COVID-19 has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to describe ECG features at different stages of COVID-19 cardiovascular (CV) events and to examine the effects of specific ECG parameters and cardiac-related biomarkers on clinical outcomes in COVID-19.
