Conclusions and Relevance This study represents a rigorous experimental evaluation of outpatient buprenorphine stabilization, brief taper, and naltrexone maintenance for treatment of PO dependence. Results suggest that a meaningful subset of PO-dependent outpatients may respond positively to a 4-week
Naltrexone maintenance? I bet they’ll lost weight too.
Diet Soda May Alter Our Gut Microbes And Raise The Risk Of Diabetes : The Salt : NPR
Now, a new study published in the journal Nature introduces a new idea: Diet sodas may alter our gut microbes in a way that increases the risk of metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes — at least in some of us.
In the paper, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel describe what happened when they fed zero-calorie sweeteners, including saccharin, aspartame and sucralose, to mice.
“To our surprise, [the mice] developed glucose intolerance,” Weizmann researcher Eran Elinav tells us.

Wealthy L.A. Schools’ Vaccination Rates Are as Low as South Sudan’s – The Atlantic
Wealthy L.A. Schools’ Vaccination Rates Are as Low as South Sudan’s – The Atlantic.
When actors play doctors on TV, that does not make them actual doctors. And that does not mean they should scour some Internet boards, confront their pediatricians, and demand fewer vaccinations for their children, as some Hollywood parents in Los Angeles have apparently been doing.
The Hollywood Reporter has a great investigation for which it sought the vaccination records of elementary schools all over Los Angeles County. They found that vaccination rates in elite neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills have tanked, and the incidence of whooping cough there has skyrocketed.
I guess these “enlightened” parents know little about community immunity.
You can’t fix stupid.

Deaths From Narcotic Painkillers Quadrupled in Past Decade: CDC – WebMD
Deaths From Narcotic Painkillers Quadrupled in Past Decade: CDC – WebMD.
Deaths from overdoses of drugs such as hydrocodone (Vicodin), morphine and oxycodone (Oxycontin) climbed from 1.4 per 100,000 people to 5.4 per 100,000, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That means about 3,000 people died in 1999 from unintentional overdoses. By 2011, that number was up to nearly 12,000 deaths, the report said.

FDA Okays Naloxegol Movantik in Opioid-Induced Constipation
If you read the source article you’ll never look at constipation the same way ever again. Better dig deeper to find out why your applicant is constipated. It may not be just a horrible diet and lack of dietary fiber.
And yet another FDA approved drug to counteract adverse effects from another FDA approved drug.
FDA Okays Naloxegol Movantik in Opioid-Induced Constipation.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved naloxegol (Movantik, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals), a peripherally acting opioid receptor antagonist, for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults with chronic noncancer pain.
OIC is a common adverse effect of opioid use. An estimated 40% to 80% of patients receiving long-term opioid therapy experience OIC, which can be severe enough to cause discontinuation of opioid therapy.

“It was the first time this has happened on the island. I have never seen anything like this,” the staff member added, requesting anonymity.
No, it is not the first time. See second article.
Their deaths take to 13 the number of British visitors to Thailand murdered in the past five years in what the Foreign Office calls “vicious, unprovoked attacks by gangs”.
