The national effort to return the Medicaid enrollment process to its pre-pandemic rules starting in April 2023 may have disrupted the care of people receiving treatment for opioid addiction, a new study finds. The data have implications for current Medicaid budget discussions.
Two HSS studies received awards from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. One looked at the prevalence of CBD use in patients scheduled for sports medicine surgery. The other compared the need for opioid medication after robotic, computer-assisted or manual hip replacement.

Patients hospitalized with opioid use disorders who receive addiction consultation services are significantly more likely to start medication treatment and access follow-up care when compared with patients who receive standard or usual care, a study co-led by Cedars-Sinai investigators found.
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has launched the AI Small Molecule Drug Discovery Center, a bold endeavor that harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize drug development. The new Center will integrate AI with traditional drug discovery methods to identify and design new small-molecule therapeutics with unprecedented speed and precision. Unlike conventional drug discovery, which can take years and cost billions, AI-driven approaches enable researchers to rapidly navigate a vast chemical landscape, including natural products, to pinpoint promising drug candidates. By leveraging Mount Sinai鈥檚 world-leading expertise in machine learning, chemical biology, and biomedical data science, the Center aims to bring innovative treatments to patients faster鈥攑articularly for diseases with urgent unmet needs, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
recent study conducted across nine Iowa hospitals has shown promising results in reducing postoperative opioid prescriptions by implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways. The study, led by researchers from the Rothman Opioid Foundation, Goldfinch Health, and Drexel University College of Medicine, examined the impact of ERAS protocols on opioid prescribing to patients undergoing arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery) and arthroscopy (a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat joint issues). Arthroplasty involves replacing damaged joints with prosthetic implants to relieve pain and restore function, whereas arthroscopy utilizes a small camera to examine and repair joint damage through small incisions.
Young adults in pain start using cannabis earlier and are more likely to mix it with alcohol, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York.
Researchers at UC San Diego have confirmed the presence of xylazine in the illicit drug supply at the U.S.-Mexico border. While xylazine remains less common in the Western U.S., border cities serve as key trafficking hubs and may have higher rates of emerging substances.
