Background: Women veterans are at risk for substance use and substance use disorders, although there remains limited data on substance use in women veterans.
Methods: A secondary analysis of data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2015 to 2019 and 2021 was conducted to compare women veterans with women non-veterans and men veterans on substance-related outcomes, including lifetime substance use, frequency of past 30-day substance use, and past-year substance use disorders for cannabis, opioids, and stimulants.
Results: From 2015 to 2019, women veterans were about 53 % and 24 % more likely to have used cannabis in their lifetime compared to women non-veterans and men veterans, respectively.

The presence of drugs of abuse in freshwater systems is an emerging environmental concern with potential ecological implications. This systematic literature review examines the global occurrence and distribution of ten highly consumed drugs in rivers, including stimulants (cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine or MDMA, ketamine) and opioids (codeine, fentanyl, methadone, morphine, tramadol). Using a multi-stage screening process, we identified peer-reviewed articles published between 2012 and 2022, yielding a final dataset covering 225 unique rivers and 865 distinct sampling points across diverse geographic regions.

Introduction: The NarxCare Overdose Risk Score (ORS) is a measure of prescription drug use with scores ranging from 0 to 999, and higher scores suggest worse prescription drug use patterns, including opioids, sedatives, and stimulants. We aimed to evaluate the association of preoperative NarxCare ORS with clinically meaningful improvements in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction at one year.
Methods: Patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at an academic healthcare system (November 2018 to December 2022) were included.
