Indeed, responses to such issues require a multidimen sional, evidence informed approach. Medical, psychological and social responses have been identified as those with most effica cies within the literature. Illicit opiate use brings with it perhaps a more severe symptomatology when we consider the physiological phenomenon. Therefore, treatment needs to be multi-dimensional with both psychosocial and medical interventions. However, treat ment attrition rates are very high with this cohort of people. Ap proaches to identify those at risk of dropout and poor outcomes have been established within the wider psychiatric and psycholog ical domains. Client feedback entails soliciting data on outcome and process of care and utilising the information to adapt and tai lor service deliver on a session to session (unit of care) basis. The present review paper seeks to build on previous research by extending these methods to the treatment of opioids in an Irish context.","PeriodicalId":92903,"journal":{"name":"HSOA journal of addiction & addictive disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47307919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Newton","doi":"10.1101/19004150","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1101/19004150","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Tobacco use disorder (TUD) is a major worldwide healthcare burden resulting in 7 million deaths annually. TUD has few approved cessation aids, all of which are associated a high rate of relapse within one year. Biomarkers of TUD severity, treatment response, and risk of relapse have high potential clinical utility to identify ideal responders and guide additional treatment resources. Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed using the terms biomarkers, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, bilirubin, inositol, cotinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, pituitary-adrenal system, homovanillic acid, dopamine, pro-opiomelanocortin, lipids, lipid metabolism all cross-referenced with tobacco-use disorder. Results: The search yielded 424 results, of which 57 met inclusion criteria. The most commonly studied biomarkers were those related to nicotine metabolism, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and cardiovascular (CVD) risk. Nicotine metabolism was most associated with severity of dependence and treatment response, where as HPA axis and CVD markers showed less robust associations with dependence and relapse risk. Conclusions: Nicotine-metabolite ratio, cortisol, and atherogenicity markers appear to be the most promising lead biomarkers for further investigation, though the body of literature is still preliminary. Longitudinal, repeated-measures studies are required to determine the directionality of the observed associations and determine true predictive power of these biomarkers. Future studies should also endeavour to study populations with comorbid psychiatric disorders to determine differences in utility of certain biomarkers.","PeriodicalId":92903,"journal":{"name":"HSOA journal of addiction & addictive disorders","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44139207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
