Objective sleep onset latency increased from the Baseline to the Treatment phase in the control (stretching) group (p = .042). In contrast, the Cycling group exhibited improvements in sleep duration (p = .008) and sleep efficiency (p = .023) during the Treatment phase compared to the Baseline phase. Cycling also increased sleep duration (p = .005), decreased average wake bout (p = .040) and tended to increase sleep efficiency (p = .051) compared to stretching during the Treatment phase. Subjective sleep quality ratings did not differ between groups (p > .10). These preliminary findings suggest that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise may attenuate the sleep disturbances associated with cannabis withdrawal.]]> Tue 26 Jul 2022 09:52:23 AEST ]]> Cannabidiol drug interaction considerations for prescribers and pharmacists https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51187 Tue 09 Jan 2024 11:21:55 AEDT ]]> Buprenorphine not detected on urine drug screening in supervised treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54002 Thu 25 Jan 2024 13:53:29 AEDT ]]> Unique approach to continuing medical education in clinical pharmacology across Australia and New Zealand https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37568 Thu 18 Feb 2021 16:08:21 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of the Prescribing Skills Assessment implementation, performance and medical student experience in Australia and New Zealand https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52234 Thu 05 Oct 2023 11:39:44 AEDT ]]> Correlates of pain in an in-treatment sample of opioid-dependent people https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17227 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:16 AEDT ]]> Comparing treatment-seeking codeine users and strong opioid users: findings from a novel case series https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23860 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:11 AEDT ]]> How do patients and staff in an opioid agonist treatment service view smoking cessation medications and e-cigarettes? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52509 Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:31:06 AEDT ]]> Opioid-sparing effect of cannabinoids for analgesia: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical and clinical studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50937 Mon 14 Aug 2023 12:58:13 AEST ]]> Transferring patients from high-dose methadone to buprenorphine: A retrospective case series https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53522 18, and a treatment plan that included transfer from methadone to buprenorphine. Data were extracted on methadone dose, transfer medications, time to buprenorphine initiation, and transfer outcome. Interventions: Subjects were transferred via two methods: morphine bridged and nonbridged. Main outcome measure: The primary outcome measure was successful transition to buprenorphine. Results: Seventy-one subjects met inclusion criteria, of whom 62 initiated buprenorphine and 53 discharged on buprenorphine. Longer delay to buprenorphine initiation was seen with higher methadone doses. The highest daily methadone dose in subjects completing transfer was 180 mg. Outcomes with morphine bridging, using a steady state methadone: morphine ratio of 1:4, were similar to direct transfer. Only one subject discontinued buprenorphine because of PW. Conclusions: Transfer from high doses of methadone to buprenorphine can be achieved with high success rates in the in-patient setting.]]> Mon 04 Dec 2023 09:33:33 AEDT ]]> Treating codeine dependence with buprenorphine: dose requirements and induction outcomes from a retrospective case series in New South Wales, Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23970 -1 (mean: 564 mg; 95% confidence interval 431-696 mg). Median buprenorphine dose was 12.0 mg (interquartile range 9.5 mg, range 4-32 mg) at day 7 and 16.0 mg (interquartile range 13.5 mg, range 4-32 mg) at day 28. Buprenorphine doses received were markedly higher than estimated codeine doses based on standard dose conversion tables.Discussion and Conclusions: With increasing presentations relating to codeine dependence, these findings provide important guidance to clinicians. Buprenorphine doses were consistently higher than doses estimated based on the dose of codeine consumed, and were comparable with doses used in the treatment of dependence with heroin and more potent prescription opioids.]]> Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:28:10 AEDT ]]>
