Can't wait to see more studies on this! Interview data is only a start after all.

The fact that a huge portion of AUD goes untreated is sad.

In Finland, we use disulfiram quite a lot for some reason despite it having less evidence behind it compared to naltrexone. Change does not come fast, I guess.

The use of social media, the aim of using social media, and the people they follow, rather than the duration, plays a significant role in the orthorexia nervosa (obsession with healthy eating) tendency, reports a study published in BMC Public Health.

You are also left with a rhubarb mush after boiling it. You can freeze this in ice cube trays and add to smoothies or oatmeal etc.

The resulting juice is quite concentrated and should be diluted. You can usually get 3-5 liters of juice per liter of concentrate.

It keeps in the fridge for a few days, and I recommend freezing as a storage solution.

Rhubarb juice is great! It's refreshing and a lovely pink color!

Ingredients : Equal parts rhubarb and water, sugar to taste (around 1/10 of the volume of rhubarb), some cardamom.

1. Cut the rhubarb into chunks
2. Boil for 10 minutes.
3. Add sugar
4. Strain into bottles.

You can freeze the excess

An excerpt from the article "Nonfatal pediatric fentanyl exposures reported to US poison centers, 2015–2023": "...Exposures reported to poison centers have increased among pediatric populations, especially among adolescents... Most exposures of patients aged 0–12 involved unintentional exposure... Increased prevention, treatment, and harm reduction (including naloxone) are needed, and education is needed for those using illicitly manufactured opioids to keep them out of reach from children." by Joseph J. Palamar , Linda B. Cottler , and Joshua C. Black

Pediatric fentanyl exposures have surged 1,194% since 2015. The latest study from AJDAA finds over one-third of cases are life-threatening, with unintentional ingestion common in young children. Prevention and harm reduction efforts needed. Read the full article here: bit.ly/pediatricfen...

Clearly more work needs to be done to educate patients about safe storage of drugs. Overdoses in children are tragic and preventable.

Maybe clinics offering SUD treatment should give out inexpensive locked safes for their patients to store their meds/drugs in?

Governments have long had the ability to control the direction of scientific research by being a major funder of academia.

It is however previously unheard of that a democratically elected government tries to control what does and does not get published. These are dark times for academia.

It would be hard to argue that a laboratory outbreak would be unlikely to happen, considering that they happen all the time around the world!
