Abstract:
Overdose is a significant cause of death among heroin users and up to two-thirds of heroin users will experience at least one non-fatal overdose in their lifetime. Despite a recent increase in the literature on overdose psychological understandings of the processes involved are limited, particularly from the perspective of heroin users. This study explored heroin users' experiences of overdose particularly the two areas of intent and risk. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen individuals who had a history of heroin use and were attending a treatment service in south London.

Abstract:
Fatal opioid overdose is the leading cause of death in UK opioid users, and increasingly a clinical concern for chronic pain management. Concomitant use of central nervous system depressants, in particular alcohol, is identified as a risk factor for opioid overdose. It is plausible alcohol and heroin may interact pharmacologically to enhance overdose risk, however other psychological or social factors may be important. The primary aim of this thesis was to further elucidate the role of alcohol in opioid overdose. Simulating opioid overdose is inherently difficult, so a multi-method approach co

Background and Aims: Naloxone is the standard treatment for reversal of opioid overdoses.

Abstract:
Since the 1990s rates of prescription drug abuse and overdose have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. As a result states have enacted and implemented new drug control policies in hopes of slowing and reversing this health epidemic. The goals of this study were to (a) determine the impact these state-based drug control policies have on prescription drug abuse and overdose and (b) deduce what leads some states to pass stricter policies than others. Results indicated that the prevalence of prescription drug overdose in 2008 largely impacted the future strength of a state’s drug control policy.

Abstract:
An investigation of the ratio of free to bound phenytoin in overdose cases was accomplished by three studies to answer these questions: 1. Will the free to bound ratio change with increasing total phenytoin concentration? 2. Will the free to bound ratio be altered with decreasing total protein concentration? 3. Do these results correlate with overdose cases? The results demonstrated that the ratio of free to bound phenytoin remains constant throughout the therapeutic range as long as a person has a normal total protein concentration. However, the free to bound ratio changes significantly when
