What About Nights, Weekends, and Wait Times? Adding an On-Demand Facilitated Telemedicine Buprenorphine Component to a Community-Based Peer Support Outreach Program.

Background: In 2020, loosened federal regulations allowed for buprenorphine for opioid use disorder to be initiated via telemedicine. In response to these regulatory changes and growing racial inequities in overdose in St. Louis, MO, a local, peer-led outreach program incorporated a new rapid access (RA) to buprenorphine program.

Assessing the role of Berberine as an inhibitor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation using in vitro and molecular interaction studies.

Glycation and aggregation of proteins have garnered more interest in recent years. Glycation leads to the formation of protein aggregates and advanced glycation ends (AGEs) that play crucial roles within several pathological conditions. The objective of our study is to gain a deeper understanding of the formation of AGEs and aggregates of human serum albumin (HSA) in the presence of methylglyoxal and the protective effects of the phytochemical berberine.
