This article proposes to trace back the timeline of the monitoring of falsified medical prescriptions in France as part of the French Addictovigilance System's toolbox. It examines the genesis of the OSIAP survey (Suspect Prescriptions Indicator of Possible Abuse), which has been held at the national level since 2001 but was created in the early 1990s, and its development until the current situation with a continuously confirmed yearly increasing trend. Understanding the birth and development of OSIAP and some other Addictovigilance tools that continue to be useful after more than 30 years of existence requires to review key historical benchmarks including the principles and missions of the former French National Commission on Narcotic and Psychotropic Drugs.

Background: Autonomic symptoms in alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) are associated with a sympathetic-driven imbalance of the autonomic nervous system. To restore autonomic balance in AWS, novel neuromodulatory approaches could be beneficial. We conducted a pilot trial with percutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (pVNS) in AWS and hypothesized that pVNS will enhance the parasympathetic tone represented by a reduction of pupillary dilation in a parasympatholytic pharmacological challenge.

Over the past 15 years, the increasing nonmedical use of tropicamide ophthalmic drops has been reported in Europe, coinciding with an increase in opioid addiction and drug-related mortality. Although tropicamide is generally known as a cheap alternative to heroin in Eastern Europe, it still appears to be a relatively new phenomenon that has arisen over the last decade.
