Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, IRQ.
Background: Substance use is a growing concern, impacting the health, social stability, and economic well-being of individuals and communities. In Iraq, particularly in Erbil, limited data exists on the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). This study aims to identify these characteristics among inpatients at Hawler Psychiatric Hospital to better understand the profiles and associated factors influencing substance use in this region.

Background The synthetic opioid tramadol is widely used as a pain reliever. Unlike other opioids, it is used freely worldwide, unaffected by international controls resulting in abuse and accidental intoxication. Analytical methods are necessary to prove tramadol abuse because 30% of the drug is excreted unchanged.

School of Chinese Materia Medica, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin, China.
Rationale: Astragali radix-Salvia miltiorrhiza (AR-SM) is an herb pair with good therapeutic effects and is widely used. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo components of AR-SM were quickly classified and identified based on UHPLC-orbital mass spectrometry. This provided a basis for clarifying the bioactive substances after compatibility of AR and SM.

Dry eye disease (DED) is an inflammatory disorder in which CD4 T cells play a significant role in its pathogenesis. A CD4 T cell subset termed granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-producing T helper (ThGM) cells would contribute to DED pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms by which the activity of ThGM cells is modulated are not thoroughly understood.

Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) represents a transformative paradigm in drug administration, offering advantages such as controlled drug release, enhanced patient adherence, and circumvention of hepatic first-pass metabolism. Despite these benefits, the inherent barrier function of the skin, primarily attributed to the stratum corneum, remains a significant impediment to the efficient permeation of therapeutic agents. Recent advancements have focused on macromolecular-assisted permeation enhancers, including carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleic acids, and cell-penetrating peptides, which modulate skin permeability by transiently altering its structural integrity.
