Introduction to the Special Issue: Opioids and the Workplace - Risk Factors and Solutions.

The workplace has been a neglected element in the national response to the opioid crisis. This ignores that workplace safety and health and drug policies have become important factors in opioid use disorder among workers. This results from physical or emotional pain related to workplace injuries, illnesses, and stress, and through punitive workplace drug policies, failure to address stigma, and inadequate access to treatment and recovery resources.

Outcomes after endovascular embolization for the treatment of nasal and oropharyngeal hemorrhage: safety, efficacy, and rebleeding.

Background: Intractable nasal and oropharyngeal hemorrhage may be treated with endovascular embolization, but limited data are available. We sought to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and factors associated with rebleeding.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive embolizations for nasal and oropharyngeal hemorrhage over a 10-year period at a single institution was performed.

Successful treatment with secnidazole for trichomoniasis in the setting of metronidazole hypersensitivity.

Limited effective treatment options currently exist for trichomoniasis management among patients with metronidazole hypersensitivity. We report a patient with a documented history of metronidazole hypersensitivity who initially was treated with nitazoxanide but demonstrated clinical and microbiological failure. Secnidazole was subsequently used for treatment, which resulted in clinical and microbiological cure without observation of cross-reactivity.
