  Title How to assess craving for alcohol Type Journal Article
  Year 1997 Publication European addiction research Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 3 Issue Pages 110-115  
  Keywords addiction; AOD dependence; chemical addiction; alcohol; assessment; behavioral and mental disorder  
  Abstract In the recent years several drugs with an anticraving effect have been developed. These drugs should reduce the urge to drink alcohol. In the near future some of these drugs with different pharmacological profiles will be introduced to several European countries. That’s why a critical review of the psychobiological concept craving is necessary. Although widely used craving is an illdefined term. Craving has been associated with different psychological concepts that are mostly based on behavorial theories. Furthermore, some biochemical findings probably associated with craving are reviewed. However, thus far the assessment of craving is based on self-reports, since it is a subjective cognition like pain. The magnitude of craving depends on situational factors, varying with time and place. Thus, a sufficient assessment has to include the conditions and expectancies occurring together with craving.

  Title Dépistage de consommations problématiques d'alcool dans la population suisse: comparaison entre un instrument développé par l'ISPA et le questionnaire CAGE Type Journal Article
  Year 1997 Publication Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift = Journal suisse de médecine Abbreviated Journal

  Keywords AOD consumption; AOD abuse; screening and diagnostic method for AOD use; alcohol; statistical data; Switzerland; study  
  Abstract En 1987, l’Institut suisse de prévention de l’alcoolisme et autres toxicomanies (ISPA) a développé une série de questions relatives aux problèmes d’alcool au sein de la population générale. Le but principal de cet article est d’étudier le comportement de ce questionnaire comme instrument de dépistage de consommations problématiques _dans la population helvétique en le comparant au CAGE. L’étude porte sur 953 personnes de 20 ans et plus. Parmi les buveurs, le test ISPA est positif pour 91 hommes (21,7%) et 34 femmes (8,70/0) et le CAGE pour 53 hommes (12,70/0) et 17 femmes (4,3%). Mieux que le CAGE, le test ISPA permet de dépister les buveurs problématiques consommant régulièrement de façon soutenue, mais sans excès ponctuels. La question “eyeopener” du CAGE s’avère trop abrupte pour la population générale suisse et pourrait être supprimée. Les femmes nient beaucoup plus leurs problèmes d’alcool que les hommes. Une consommation occasionnellement excessive augmente le risque d’avoir un test positif. En conclusion, dans la population suisse, le test ISPA est plus adapté à l’évaluation du nombre de consommateurs problématiques que le CAGE, développé pour être utilisé par le milieu médical américain. De plus, les résultats suggèrent l’utilisation de seuils critiques différents pour chaque sexe.

  Title Efficacy of clonidine, guanfacine and methadone in the rapid detoxification of heroin addicts : a controlled clinical trial Type Journal Article
  Year 1990 Publication British journal of addiction Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 85 Issue 1; 01/1990 Pages 141-147  
  Keywords treatment and maintenance; inpatient care; detoxification; heroin; clonidine; guanfacine; methadone  
  Abstract The efficacy of clonidine, methadone, and guanfacine in rapid detoxification of heroin inpatients was assessed in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Signs and symptoms of abstinence and of side effects were analysed in 90 heroin addicts successfully completing a 12–day inpatient trial, all patients fit DSM-III criteria for opioid dependence, the age range being 18 to 36 years. All three drugs were effective in controlling abstinence; however, the course of abstinence was different in the methadone group as compared to the adrenergic agonists, the latter showing limitations in their ability to suppress withdrawal manifestations. While mean number of withdrawal signs and symptoms was significantly tower during days 2 to 5 in the methadone group (p < 0.01), adrenergic agonists were slightly more effective at the end of the trial. Incidence of side effects was closely related to the dose administered. Hypotensive action of adrenergic agonists was more marked in orthostatic position. The present results suggest that methadone is superior to adrenergic agonists. Between these drugs clonidine appears to be less effective than guanfacine in controlling some withdrawal manifestations, and causes more side effects, mainly of cardiovascular nature.

  Abstract Folienrauchen (Chasing the dragon, smäckle, Foliensuuge) bezeichnet die Inhalation von Heroin. Dazu wird das Heroin auf einer Alufolie durch Zusatz von Alkalien in die freie Base umgewandelt und dann durch Erhitzen mit einem Feuerzeug flüssig gemacht. Der dabei aufsteigende Dampf wird mit einem Röhrchen inhaliert. Um Heroin verflüssigen zu können, müssen also Natriumbikarbonat oder andere alkalische Stoffe beigefügt werden, was entweder durch den Folienraucher selber geschieht oder bereits durch den Verkäufer.

  Title Problèmes de santé liés à l'usage des drogues illégales : évolution des motifs d'hospitalisation pour les usagers de drogues traités à l'Hôpital Cantonal de Genève entre 1993 et 1998 Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Bulletin des médecins suisses Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 80 Issue 34 Pages 2059-2063  
  Keywords health promotion; AOD induced risk; infection; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; HIV infection; Aids; AOD dependence; illicit drug; drug user; hospital; Geneva  
  Abstract A Genève, de nombreuses mesures ont été prises pour améliorer la situation sanitaire des usagers de drogues: libre accès au matériel d’injection, augmentation et diversification des traitements (incluant méthadone et prescription expérimentale d’héroïne), accès aux soins de santé primaire et campagne de vaccination contre l’hépatite B. En 1993, un poste d’infirmier spécialisé en toxicodépendance a été crée à l’Hôpital Cantonal afin de mieux répondre aux besoins de soins spécifiques de ces patients. Cette étude décrit les principales caractéristiques socio-démographiques des patients toxicodépendants hospitalisés, des problèmes de santé motivant les hospitalisations ainsi que l’évolution des problèmes de santé sur cinq années (1993 -1998). Les principaux résultats montrent une augmentation importante du nombre de patients déjà suivis en milieu spécialisé au moment de l’hospitalisation, une baisse de la séroprévalence VIH et VHB et peu de changement concernant la séroprévalence de l’hépatite C. L’évolution des motifs d’hospitalisation montre une baisse relative des hospitalisations liées au Sida et aux accidents et une augmentation des hospitalisations liées aux abcès, probablement en lien avec une récente augmentation de la consommation de cocaïne par injection.

  Title Endogenous opioid systems and alcohol addiction Type Journal Article
  Year 1997 Publication Psychopharmacology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue 129; 01/1997 Pages 99-111  
  Keywords addiction; alcohol; opioids in any form; dopamine; naltrexone; prevention; relapse prevention; research; journal article  
  Abstract alcohol exei.ts numerous pharmacological effects through its interaction with various neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Among the latter, the endogenous opioids playa key role in the rewarding (addictive) properties of ethanol. Three types of opioid receptors represent the respective targets of the major opioid peptides (p-endorphin, enkephalins and dynorphins, respectively). The rewarding (reinforcing) properties of 11- and 8-receptor ligands are brought about by activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system which ascends from the ventral tegmentum of the midbrain (VTA) to rostral structures: of these, the nucleus accumbens (NAC) is of particular importance in drug addiction. In contrast, dysphoria results from activation of K-receptors. The neurochemical manifestations of these opposing effects are, respectively, increases and decreases in dopamine release in the NAC. Several lines of evidence indicate that alcohol interferes with endogenous opioid mechanisms which are closely linked with dopamine transmission in the mesolimbic pathway. The view that condensation products of dopamine and alcohol-derived aldehyde (tetrahydroisoquinolines) playa role remains controversial. There is. however, much information on the direct (acute and chronic) effects of alcohol on the binding properties of opioid receptors, as well as modulation of opioid peptide synthesis and secretion (e.g. a suggested increase in p-endorphin release). In view of the reinforcing properties of alcohol. it is relevant to consider behavioural studies involving alcohol self-administration in rodents and primates. Low doses of morphine have been found to increase. and higher doses of the opiate to decrease, alcohol consumption. Conversely, opi()id antagonists such as naloxone and naltrexone (which bind to non-selectively opioid receptors) have been shown to decrease alcohol consumption under various experimental conditions. Similar results have been reported when selective 11- or b-receptor antagonists are administered. Results obtained in genetic models of high preference for alcohol also support the view that alcohol intake depends on the activity of the endogenous opioid reward system and that alcohol consumption may serve to compensate for inherent deficits in this system. One hypothetical model proposes that reward results from activation of opioid receptors in the VTA and/or b-receptors in the NAC; both these nuclei are targets of endogenous p-endorphin. It is suggested that alcohol interferes with this reward pathway either directly or indirectly. The available experimental data accord well with those obtained from clinical studies in which opioid antagonists have been used to prevent relapse in alcoholics. Conceptual considerations concerning communalities between various forms of addictions are also discussed in this review.

  Title Praxisbericht : Suchtprävention für arbeitslose Jugendliche in der Schweiz – (k)ein Bedürfnis ? : Ergebnisse einer Machbarkeitsstudie Type Journal Article
  Year 1996 Publication Abhängigkeiten : Forschung und Praxis der Prävention und Behandlung Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 2 Issue 1 Pages 31-35

  Abstract Eine Projektidee zur Sekundärprävention von Alkoholmissbrauch bei jungen 16- bis 25-jährigen Arbeitslosen wurde untersucht. Mit Hilfe von Einrichtungen, die sich in der Deutschschweiz primär mit Jugendarbeitslosigkeit beschäftigen, sollten junge Arbeitslose mit Alkoholproblemen gefunden und in Präventionsgruppen geleitet werden, um dort neue Kompetenzen im Umgang mit der Arbeitslosigket und dem Alkoholkonsum zu lernen. Zwei Umfagen bei entsprechenden Einrichtungen ergaben ein nur geringes Problembewusstsein und keinen Bedarf an einem entsprechenden Projekt. Arbeitslose Jugendliche in der Schweiz sind nur relativ kurz in dieser Lage. Zudem scheinen sie keine manifesten Alkoholprobleme zu haben. Diese Sichtweise stellen die Autoren der Arbeits- und Sozialbehörden in Frage.
