Penn researchers use MRI to study drug addiction

WILLIAM BENDER, Daily News Staff Writer benderw@phillynews.com, 215-854-5255 Posted: Friday, January 18, 2013, 3:01 AM MATTHEW ELLIS started popping painkillers as a teenager and switched to heroin a few years later. It was simple economics, and a common progression among today's opiate addicts - the recreational drug dabbler turned full-time junkie. That's usually when the nightmare takes hold. You start living life one injection at a time. Everything else - career, family, self-respect - is prioritized behind the next little wax-paper bag of dope. "I was hopelessly addicted to heroin," said Ellis, 25, a carpenter's assistant and father of two young boys. Ellis, who lives in Deptford, N.J., repeatedly tried to get clean. He attempted to taper off his habit with Suboxone. He also did about seven rounds of treatment, both outpatient and inpatient. Some of his stints lasted months. But the drug seemed to stalk him from within. "It would get in my head and stay in my head until I did it," Ellis said. Today, after enrolling in a clinical study at the University of Pennsylvania, Ellis has three months of heroin-free time under his belt. Neuroscientists at the university's Center for Studies of Addiction are using MRI … Continue reading

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2013

HYPETRAK TV: Flosstradamus - Organic Virality Flosstradamus have set out over the past 12 months to break a whole host of rules about the music industry, nightlife clichs and the various stereotypes that are befit of a typical electronic music act. Their rise to prominence has seen them, through a number of free mixtape/EP releases, build an admirable fanbase around the world without the help of a label and largely through their own hype and online presence. The Chicago duo of J2K and Autobut (Josh Young and Curt Cameruci) avoid drugs and alcohol, and spend the vast majority of their time when not on stage -- making music in their mobile studio.

Drugs cheat Lance: I’ve told one big lie

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2013

DISGRACED cyclist Lance Armstrong sensationally confessed to taking drugs in a TV interview early today. He told US talk show host Oprah Winfrey that he used performance enhancing drugs as well as illegal blood transfusions to gain an edge on his competitors. Armstrong, 41, who was stripped of his Olympics bronze medal yesterday, had strongly denied cheating for more than a decade. His seven Tour de France titles were taken away from him last year. Asked whether he felt it was possible to win the Tour seven times in succession without doping, he told Oprah: Not in my opinion. He admitted his use of EPO performance enhancing drugs began from the mid-90s. DISGRACED cyclist confesses to using performance enhancing drugs in TV interview with Oprah Winfrey He said: I suppose earlier in my career there was cortisone and then the EPO generation began. He told Oprah: I view this situation as one big lie, which I repeated a lot of times. I know the truth the truth wasnt out there, the truth wasnt what I said. The story was so perfect for so long. It was this mythic perfect story and that wasnt true. Im a flawed character, as you … Continue reading

Cycling – Factbox: Performance enhancing drugs in sports

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2013

Armstrong's revelation that he cheated in international cycling races acknowledges that he used a cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs to try to boost red blood cells, improve strength and stamina, and mask his cheating from anti-doping authorities. Here are details of some of the drugs commonly used in sports doping. ERYTHROPOIETIN (EPO) * EPO is a peptide hormone that is produced naturally by the human body. It is released from the kidneys and acts on the bone marrow to stimulate red blood cell production. By injecting EPO, athletes aim to increase the concentration of red blood cells to boost their aerobic capacity. * EPO abuse has serious health risks. By thickening the blood, EPO abuse can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and cerebral or pulmonary embolism. The drug has been implicated in the deaths of several athletes. BLOOD DOPING * There are two forms of blood doping. Autologous blood doping is the transfusion of an athlete's own blood, which has been stored, refrigerated or frozen, until needed. Homologous blood doping is the transfusion of blood taken from another person with the same blood type. * Although the use of transfusions for blood doping dates back several decades, … Continue reading

Research and Markets: Pain Therapeutics – Drugs, Markets and Companies – 2013 Report

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2013

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6brsqf/pain_therapeutics) has announced the addition of Jain PharmaBiotech's new report "Pain Therapeutics - Drugs, Markets and Companies" to their offering. This report describes the latest concepts of pathomechanisms of pain as a basis for management and development of new pharmacotherapies for pain. Major segments of the pain market are arthritis, neuropathic pain and cancer pain. Because pain is a subjective sensation, it is difficult to evaluate objectively in clinical trials. Various tools for pain measurement are described, including brain imaging. Most of the currently used analgesic drugs fall into the categories of opioids and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as COX-2 inhibitors. Non-opioid analgesics include ketamine, a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist. Adjuvant analgesics include antidepressants and antiepileptic drugs used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Management of pain is multidisciplinary and includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods such as acupuncture, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and surgery. Various pain syndromes require different approaches in management, for example, the main category of drugs for migraine are triptans such as sumatriptan. Drug delivery is an important consideration in pain treatment. Controlled release preparations provide a steady delivery of analgesics. Well-known non-injection methods such astransdermal, pulmonary and intranasal application have been … Continue reading
