AIMS This study evaluates the suitability of gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis to follow-up the extent of benzodiazepine (mis)use in a Belgian prison population and compares it to other analytical strategies (e.g. screening followed by confirmation of the positive samples). DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS From February to August 1998, 598 persons were jailed of which 188 (31.4% ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite repeated recommendations to limit benzodiazepines to short-term use (2-4 weeks), doctors worldwide are still prescribing them for months or years. This over-prescribing has resulted in large populations of long-term users who have become dependent on benzodiazepines and has also led to leakage of benzodiazepines into the illicit drug market. This review outlines the ri...
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a possible early event in ischemia-reperfusion damage. The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, has already been proposed to play a role in mitochondrial regulation, although its exact function remains unclear. The aim of this work was to determine the role of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor in ischemia-r...
The benzodiazepine binding site of GABA(A) receptors is located at the interface of the alpha and gamma subunits. Certain point mutations in these subunits have been demonstrated to dramatically reduce the affinity of benzodiazepine binding site ligands for these receptors. Recently, mice were generated with a phenylalanine (F) to isoleucine (I) substitution at position 77 in the gamma2 subunit...
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of Benzodiazepine use in the outpatient setting of general medicine clinics at a single tertiary care centre. METHODS The prospective prevalence study was conducted in the outpatient setting of Internal Medicine Clinics at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from November to December 2009. All subjects were interviewed after informed consent and variabl...
Benzodiazepine (lorazepam, estazolam, chlordiazepoxide, and ketazolam) stability was studied in postmortem blood, bile, and vitreous humor stored at different temperatures over six months. The influence of NaF, in blood and bile samples, was also investigated. A solid-phase extraction technique was used on all the studied samples, and benzodiazepine quantification was performed by high-performa...
BACKGROUND Chronic alcohol consumption is a prevalent issue. Healthcare professionals often discover their patient has an alcohol consumption issue when they are admitted to the hospital and no longer have access to alcohol. The global standard for treating alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) symptoms are benzodiazepines; however this therapy is often inadequate to control symptoms of delirium in...
BACKGROUND Treatment of schizophrenia frequently includes prolonged benzodiazepine administration despite a lack of evidence of its use. It is often difficult to discontinue benzodiazepines because of the development of dependence. We aim to assess if melatonin can facilitate the withdrawal of prolonged benzodiazepine administration in patients with schizophrenia. Furthermore, we aim to investi...
Benzodiazepine binding was measured in amygdala and hippocampus from 19 suicides in whom a firm diagnosis of depression was established retrospectively, and 19 well-matched controls. The number and affinity of benzodiazepine binding sites did not differ significantly between the drug-free or drug-treated suicides and controls.
Anxiety disorders and substance abuse, including benzodiazepine use disorder, frequently occur together. Unfortunately, treatment of anxiety disorders still includes benzodiazepines, and patients with an existing comorbid benzodiazepine use disorder or a genetic susceptibility for benzodiazepine use disorder may be at risk of adverse treatment outcomes. The identification of genetic predictors ...
