Background: Opioid-related overdose is a leading cause of death for criminal legal-involved individuals and, although naloxone distribution and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are effective means for reducing post-release overdose death risk, jail-based availability is limited. This case report describes the challenges faced by three Ohio communities as they implemented evidence-based practices (EBPs) in jails to combat post-release opioid overdose deaths.
Method: We present case examples of how barriers were overcome to implement jail-based EBPs in three Ohio communities (two urban and one rural) as part of the HEALing Communities Study (UM1DA049417; ClinicalTrials.
Purpose: The main objective was to characterize the tracer uptake kinetics of [F]fluoromethylcholine ([F]F-CHO) in high-grade gliomas (HGG) through a full PET kinetic modeling approach. Secondarily, we aimed to explore the relationship between the PET uptake measures and the HGG molecular features.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with a suspected diagnosis of HGG were prospectively included.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored insomnia rates and treatment interest among veterans from various racial/ethnic backgrounds, finding that 68% screened positive for insomnia, with the highest rates among Asian (90%) and Hispanic/Latine (79%) participants.
- Racial discrimination and PTSD symptoms were linked to more severe insomnia, while having a romantic partner appeared to offer some protective benefits.
- Interestingly, despite high insomnia rates, Asian and Hispanic/Latine veterans showed lower interest in sleep treatment, suggesting a complex relationship between race, mental health, and treatment-seeking behavior.
