Rehabilitation is an integrated program of interventions that empower individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions to achieve “personally fulfilling, socially meaningful, and functionally effective interaction” in their daily contexts. To assessing the rehabilitation services provided to the drug addicts in Peshawar. To assess the role of government sector rehabilitation centers and the private sector rehabilitation centers in reducing the sufferings of the drug addicts.Methodology is a cross sectional analytical study was conducted in 4 rehabilitation centers of Peshawar city i.e. KTH, LRH, DWF Hayatabad and DWF Shahibala, selected by convenient sampling technique. A closed ended questionnaire was planned with a checklist of services provided in the drug rehabilitation centers. This was filled by the staff members of the rehabilitation centers. Also 131 drug addicts who were present in rehabilitation centers on the day of interview and were willing to participate in the study were included in the study population. Data was analyzed through Spss v.22 and different statistical test were applied. The resaerch is obtained the Results by Drug addiction was found to be 54% among the younger age group of 21-30 years. A significant (p=0.029) association was found between marital status and relapse of drug addiction. History of imprisonment had a significant relationship (p=0.003) with relapse. Another significant association (p=0.01) was found to exist between peer pressure and relapse. The results of the study explain that the services available for rehabilitation of drug addicts are not sufficient and the relapse rate more in public sector rehabilitation centers and the possible risk factors for relapse are peer influence, marital status and a history of imprisonment.Conclusionof this resarch is on the basis of the results and statistical analysis of our research study it can be concluded that the services available for the rehabilitation of drug addicts in Peshawar are not sufficient. The number of drug rehabilitation centers and the treatment slots available in those centers are few in number. Also most of the drug rehabilitation centers are providing the inpatient type of treatment setting which makes it impossible for a large number of drug addicts to get the benefits of rehabilitation programs. The rehabilitation services are not free of cost and a large number of drug addicts cannot afford the service charges as disallowance mechanism is not effective in the centers.

Food addiction and high impulsivity are common traits in obesity. In accordance with the evidence that time is overestimated in patients with a history of impulsivity and/or drug addiction, we tested the hypothesis that duration is overestimated in obesity. A total of 92 obese participants and 182 healthy controls completed a timing task of visual stimuli. In line with our prediction, obese participants overestimated the duration of the displayed visual stimuli than controls. Our result has potential clinical implications in the field of obesity, as it suggests a potential contribution of this cognitive dysfunction in the emergence and maintenance of obesity-related behaviour.

Abstract Introduction In light of the opioid crisis, there is an increased interest in the acute pain management of patients with history of drug addiction. There is no consensus on pain management among different burn centers and the amount of narcotic prescription reportedly doubled over a seven year period according to Tully in 20191. Our aim was to study the association of previous drug addiction history and the treatment of acute burn patients with special interest on the daily morphine equivalent requirements. Methods A prospectively maintained database was queried to study acute burn patients admitted in a reference burn center from 2013 to 2018. Patients with a previous history of drug addiction (group 1) were compared to patients without it (group 2). Drug abuse was defined as patients with history of opioids abuse, heroin, cocaine, cannabis, inhalants, and alcoholism, specifically those with diagnostic codes on file. The expected mortality was calculated using the Premier® database. A p0.05 was considered significant. Results A total of 3046 patients were studied, 502 (16.5%) had previous history of drug abuse on file. Compared to group 2, group 1 had: more males - 343 (68.3%) vs 1456 (57.2%) p0.001; was younger - 45.7914.65 vs 52.0219.57 p0.001; required intubation at a higher rate - 100 (19.9%) vs 329 (12.9%) p0.001; longer intubation period - 2.4310.05 vs 1.377.71 p0.001; had a prolonged admission - 13.8728.82 vs 8.4816.58 p0.001; more surgeries - 1.213.30 vs 0.71.58 p=0.002, and a higher daily morphine milligram equivalent requirement - 148.34320.56 vs 56.0297.81 p0.001. The groups had similar expected mortality rates: 3.03% vs 3.56%p=0.483; which may be partly explained by the fact that the drug use history is not accounted for on the formula. No significant difference was seen on the burned area between the groups. Conclusions Drug addiction was associated with increased need for intubation and length of intubation, prolonged admission, increased surgery rate and a higher daily morphine equivalent usage. Further studies are necessary guide the treatment of the specific needs of these increasingly common burn patients subgroup and also to define the need of including the history of drug use on the expected mortality rate formula. Applicability of Research to Practice This study adds to the literature differences in the treatment of burn patients with history of drug addiction and highlights the need for specific protocols for improved care.

Impulsiveness has an important role in suicide behaviour and substance abuse.In this context, it's important to assess suicide risk among drug users and to determine which factors play a protective role and which factors increase the risk.In this study the authors propose to determine the prevalence of actual or past suicidal ideation in a sample of substance users; to determine the prevalence of previous suicidal behaviours in the same sample; and to study the relation with clinical and sociodemographic variables.The sample included 119 patients with drug addiction behaviours receiving treatment in an inpatient detoxication unit (Unidade de Desabituação do Norte do IDT - Instituto da Droga e das Toxicodependências), admitted between May 2010 and July 2010.Data was obtained from the patient clinical chart, including the admission protocol form.SPSS was used for statistical analysis.The results founded were:18,5% (n = 22) had previous suicidal ideation at least once in their lifetime.2,5% (n = 3) had suicidal ideation at admission.10,9% (n = 13) had previous suicidal attempts.According to literature, in general population, lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation is 10–18% and history of suicidal attempt is 3–5%.In the studied sample, suicidal ideation during lifetime is slightly raised (18,5%) and history of suicidal behaviours is strongly higher (10.9%).These data suggest a raised suicidal risk in drug abuse population, probably reflecting a higher impulsiveness in this population.

Abstract We report a case of brain and lung abscesses caused by Agreggatibacter aphrophilus in a 43-YEAR-OLD man with past history of splenectomy and drug addiction, in the absence of endocarditis. Microbiological samples remain negatives and diagnosis was made by 16S rDNA PCR performance on abscess fluid for this coccobacillus that belongs to the HACEK group. The patient’s clinical symptoms resolved within 6 weeks of treatment with cefotaxim.
