First Trimester Of Pregnancy

The majority of women suffer from nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy, but the mechanisms and reasons for this are unknown. Based on our current understanding of the emetic response and physiological changes of early pregnancy, hypotheses are put forward to explain this apparently inappropriate response to conception.

Overdose Deaths

Abstract Background Opioid-related overdose deaths have accelerated in recent years. In response, overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs have been implemented across the United States, although many rural Appalachians continue to lack access. Despite the growing number of OEND programs, risk factors for inappropriate overdose response among persons who are training-naïve are currently unknown. Methods We used respondent-driven sampling to recruit and enroll 169 adults who use prescription opioids non-medically from three rural counties in West Virginia. Participants were interviewed to ascertain experience with witnessed overdose (lifetime and prior-year), characteristics of the most recent witnessed overdose, responses to the witnessed overdose, and OEND acceptability. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with inappropriate response to opioid-related overdose. Results Among the 73 (43% of the total sample) participants who witnessed an opioid-related overdose, the majority (n = 53, 73%) reported any inappropriate response. Participants were significantly more likely to report an inappropriate overdose response when the overdose victim was unresponsive (OR = 3.36; 95% CI = 1.07, 10.58). The most common appropriate responses were staying with the victim until recovery or help arrived (n = 66, 90%) and calling 911 (n = 63, 86%), while the most common inappropriate responses were hitting or slapping the victim (n = 37, 51%) and rubbing the victim with ice or placing them in a cold shower or bath (n = 14, 19%). While most (n = 60, 82%) had never heard of overdose prevention training, the vast majority (n = 69, 95%) were willing to participate in training, particularly those who had responded inappropriately (n = 52, 98%). Conclusions These findings underscore the urgent need for expanded access to OEND programs in at-risk rural communities that lacked coverage. Indeed, information generated by this study informed the development of a statewide naloxone distribution program in WV. These findings also indicate OEND programs are highly acceptable to training-naïve people who use opioids in rural Appalachia. Additional approaches to expand access to harm reduction services in the region, including mobile services and mail-based naloxone distribution should be aggressively pursued.

There are many known problems with inappropriate response to emergency warnings. Recommended actions are not always properly followed, and sometimes emergency warnings are not taken seriously. A variety of psychological individual differences can influence the perception of emergency warnings. At present, warning distributors do not consider how these factors affect emergency warning response. We recommend that emergency warning distribution systems be developed that account for these differences to improve response. To this end, we propose four guidelines supported by psychological research and inspired by currently available technologies. These guidelines frame a user-centered approach to more appropriately tailor warning messages for each recipient.
