PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 19(1), P. e0296880 - e0296880

Published: Jan. 25, 2024

Beyond sex as a binary or biological variable, within-sex variations related to sociocultural gender variables are of increasing interest in psychiatric research better understand individual differences. Using data-driven approach, we developed composite score based on sociodemographic and psychosocial showing differences sample emergency patients upon admission (N = 1708; 39.4% birth-assigned females; mean age 40 years; standard deviation 14). This was extracted from confirmatory factor analysis (CFI 0.966; RMSEA 0.044, SRMR 0.030) could predict person’s with 67% accuracy. allowed the further identification impulsivity measures that were absent when looking solely at sex. Female also associated higher rates mood personality disorder diagnoses, while feminine scores proportions anxiety diagnoses. By contrast, male masculine psychotic substance use Patients undifferentiated (i.e., scoring between threshold defined by terciles) more represented group. Considering both is essential can be achieved even using secondary data index comprised demographic variables.

Changes in the trajectories of drug-free friendships and substance use among a cohort of individuals with multiple substance use disorders

Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 16, 2025

Aims: We used reports ( n = 208) of drug-free friendships and alcohol drug use by people diagnosed with substance disorder in order to investigate their annual change trajectories across 4 years after treatment the association between these debut age gender. Methods: The participants were recruited from Stavanger region, Norway. Using cross-sectional analysis, we first examined relationship “alcohol use” “drug-free friendships” five follow-ups. tested whether associations significant using chisquare chi-squared tests. Second, developed three latent growth curve models examining friendships”. Results: Our analysis displays a stable pattern Only fourth follow-up was there lower having (χ 2 18.27, df 8, p < .05). In model 1, found no gender, age, use; had variance on intercept but not slope; 3 good fit 44.33, 39, comparative index 0.98, root mean square error approximation 0.027). However, did find any regression path slopes. Conclusions: Drug-free relationships studied cohort group have little influence reducing use, while gender unrelated years. suggest that future research should focus frequency quality participants’ friendship assessments because previous has such facilitate recovery.

Interoceptive attention in opioid and stimulant use disorder

Abstract Blunted anterior insula activation during interoceptive perturbations has been associated with stimulant (cocaine and amphetamine) use disorder (SUD) is related to risk for prognosis of SUD. However, little known whether these alterations extend opioid (OUD). This exploratory study used the same experimental probe functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) test hypothesis that SUD OUD exhibit discrepancies characterized by subjective ratings within insula. Recently, abstinent individuals diagnosed current (n = 40) or 20) were compared healthy (CTL; n 30) on brain self‐report responses an attention task elicit activation. Participants selectively attended (heartbeat stomach) exteroceptive signals blood‐oxygen‐level‐dependent fMRI recording.

Forging Neuroimaging Targets for Recovery in Opioid Use Disorder

Frontiers in Psychiatry, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 10

Many individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) consume drugs to relieve physical and/or emotional pain, a pattern that may increasingly result in death. The field of addiction research lacks comprehensive understanding physiological and neural mechanisms instantiating this cycle Negative Reinforcement OUD, resulting limited interventions successfully promote abstinence recovery. Three-Stage Model Addiction underscores processes as crucial the maintenance exacerbation chronic substance together Binge/Intoxication Preoccupation/Anticipation processes. present review highlights faulty brain circuitry associated OUD within context three-stage model, focusing on cross-sectional well longitudinal studies relapse treatment outcome employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs), electroencephalography (EEG) explored frequency time domains (the latter measured by event-related potentials, or ERPs). We discuss strengths limitations neuroimaging work respect study design individual differences influence interpretation findings (e.g., chronicity/recency, comorbid symptoms, biological sex). Lastly, we translate gaps literature, particularly processes, into future directions involving operant classical conditioning aversion/stress. Overall, our analysis literature suggests opioid-related stimuli lessen their hold frontocingulate implicated function prolonged abstinence, degree impairment predict outcome, although is warranted replicate these findings. remain hopeful neuroscience-informed will elucidate potential targets for intervention.
