Background: Implicit cognition has been linked to relapse in substance use disorder (SUD). Studies on attentional bias have found different outcomes related to the therapeutic context, finding an association with relapse in inpatients but not in outpatients. There are no similar studies that use associations in semantic memory as a measure of implicit cognition.
Objectives: (i) to analyze the relationship between a measure of associations in semantic memory and relapse in inpatients and outpatients; (ii) to compare the evolution of these associations between inpatients and outpatients after 3 months of treatment.
Methods: Eighty nine outpatients and 94 inpatients with SUD for cocaine and alcohol participated in this study. We employed a longitudinal design with a baseline evaluation and follow-up after three months, using the Word Association Task for Drug Use Disorder (WAT-DUD).
Results: The choice of drug-related words predicted relapse in cocaine (odds ratio = 1.97, = 2.01, = .045) and alcohol-cocaine (odds ratio = 2.39, = 2.55, = .011) use. Follow-up at 3 months revealed a reduction in the choice of drug-related words in inpatients ( = 2.031, = .042).
Conclusions: A greater choice of drug-associated words in the presence of ambiguous images was related to relapse in inpatients but not in outpatients. The inpatients group showed a reduction in the semantic association with drugs during the first three months of treatment.

Objectives: Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have studied the potential effect of the topical use of sesame oil (SO), obtained from the sesame plant seeds (Sesamum indicum L., Pedaliaceae family), in preventing or alleviating the symptoms of infusion-related phlebitis (IRP); nevertheless, their data are inconsistent. Thus, this review sought to qualitatively and quantitatively synthesize data from all available RCTs concerning the effect of the topical administration of SO on managing IRP.
