Kanada. Let’s Talk Overdose: The Hidden Pandemic and How to Stop It - June 23, 2021, 8:00am-4:00pm PST (17.00-01.00 MESZ)
In March 2020, Canada declared COVID- 19 a public health emergency. Since then, Canadians have fervently been doing their part to reduce the spread of the virus. Amid the chaos of COVID- 19, the opioid overdose crisis is still on- going, yet efforts to address this devastating situation is often overshadowed. We want to raise awareness to the overdose crisis and to generate a consensus on the necessary initiatives to ensure that no more lives are needlessly lost to this hidden pandemic. This virtual event will host clinicians, researchers, people with lived/living experience, youth and many others to have important discussions surrounding the opioid crisis.

Constellations: An Online Festival On Drugs & Harm Reduction - 16-24
Nov 21
For 31 years, we have brought you the Harm Reduction International Conference – the main global forum for the exchange of information at the intersection of human rights, public health and drug policy; a place for the international harm reduction community to gather.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that we cannot safely gather in person for some time but our need to gather with our community is as strong as ever. And so, we bring you CONSTELLATIONS: An Online Festival on Drugs and Harm Reduction. (HRI – Harm Reduction International, UK, 17.06.2021)

EMCDDA. New report highlights public health risks and increasing availability of ‘designer benzodiazepines’ in Europe
New benzodiazepines, which are not controlled by international drug laws, come under the spotlight today in a new report released by the EU drugs agency (EMCDDA) (1). Often marketed as ‘designer benzodiazepines’, these substances are sold as ‘legal’ replacements for controlled benzodiazepines and are becoming increasingly available in Europe. They are monitored by the agency as new psychoactive substances (NPS) through the EU Early Warning System (EWS).
The EMCDDA currently monitors 30 new benzodiazepines, over 80% of which were detected for the first time between 2014 and 2020. Despite this relatively large number, the new benzodiazepine market in Europe is currently dominated by etizolam and flualprazolam — although this may change, as both substances were placed under international control in November 2020. In 2019, 1 240 seizures of new benzodiazepines were reported by the EU Member States (around 5% of NPS seizures). (EMCDDA, News release No 6/2021, Lissabon, 09.06.2021

EMCDDA. New benzodiazepines in Europe – a review
Summary
This report provides a technical review of the current body of knowledge regarding new benzodiazepines that are monitored by the EU Early Warning System. The aims of this report are to strengthen situational awareness of new benzodiazepines in Europe, and to help stakeholders prepare for and respond to public health and social threats caused by such substances.

AddictGene: an integrated knowledge base for differentially expressed genes associated with psychostimulants
Motivation of AddictGene
Addiction, a chronic, relapsing brain disease, is characterized by loss of control over psychostimulant drug intake and compulsive drug consumption despite serious adverse consequences. Alteration of gene expression has been linked to dependence, withdrawal, and relapse of psychostimulant-dependent individuals in both animal and human studies. As the gene expression data relating to changes induced by psychostimulants are accumulating rapidly in last decade, there is a growing need to integrate and annotate the current multi-omic data from multiple studies for convenient retrieval by bench researchers and clinicians. To fulfill this need, AddictGene is thus developed. AddictGene integrated gene expression, gene-gene interaction, gene-drug interaction and regulatory annotation for over 33,821 items of differentially expressed genes associated with psychostimulants across three species (human, mouse, rat) from 205 publications. Importantly, it contains 1,010 addiction-associated genes that have been experimentally validated by RT-PCR, Northern blot, and in situ hybridization.
