Book excerpt: This technical publication on Narcotic Drugs contains information about the licit movement of the internationally controlled narcotic drugs included in the Schedules of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. This includes information on cultivation of opiate raw materials, on the extraction of alkaloids from opium, poppy straw and concentrate of poppy straw; on the manufacture of consumption, utilization and stocks of opiates and opioids; and international global trade in narcotic drugs as well as in individual countries/territories.

Le préambule de la Convention unique de 1961 souligne la préoccupation des États pour la santé et le bien-être de l'humanité. Cette affirmation fondamentale est suivie par la reconnaissance de l'usage médical des stupéfiants et de leur rôle indispensable dans le soulagement de la douleur, ce dont les pays ont besoin pour assurer la disponibilité et prendre des dispositions adéquates. Ces principes ont été réaffirmés dans la Convention sur les substances psychotropes de 1971, dans laquelle il a été ajouté que, s'il était nécessaire de limiter l'utilisation de substances contrôlées à des fins légitimes, leur disponibilité n'aurait pas dû être restreinte indûment. Près de soixante ans après cette proclamation officielle, l'objectif de garantie de la disponibilité n'est toujours pas atteint dans de nombreux pays où des personnes souffrent encore ou meurent de douleur ou n'ont pas accès aux médicaments dont elles ont besoin. Le déséquilibre dans la disponibilité des analgésiques opioïdes est particulièrement préoccupant, car les données montrent que de nombreuses affections nécessitant une prise en charge de la douleur, notamment le cancer, prévalent et augmentent dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire. El preámbulo de la Convención Única de 1961 destaca la preocupación de los Estados por la salud y el bienestar de la humanidad. Esta afirmación fundamental es seguida por el reconocimiento del uso médico de los estupefacientes y su papel indispensable en el alivio del dolor para el cual los países necesitan asegurar la disponibilidad y proporcionar la provisión adecuada. Estos principios se reafirmaron en el Convenio sobre Sustancias Psicotrópicas de 1971 en el que se agregó que, si bien era necesario restringir el uso de sustancias controladas a fines legítimos, su disponibilidad no debería haberse restringido indebidamente. Después de casi sesenta años desde la proclamación oficial, el objetivo de asegurar la disponibilidad aún es difícil de alcanzar en muchos países donde las personas aún sufren o mueren de dolor o no tienen acceso a los medicamentos que necesitan. El desequilibrio en la disponibilidad de analgésicos opioides es particularmente preocupante, ya que los datos muestran que muchas de las afecciones que requieren manejo del dolor, en particular el cáncer, son prevalentes y aumentan en los países de ingresos bajos y medios.

Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Download or read book Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Save Lives written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-06-16 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opioid crisis in the United States has come about because of excessive use of these drugs for both legal and illicit purposes and unprecedented levels of consequent opioid use disorder (OUD). More than 2 million people in the United States are estimated to have OUD, which is caused by prolonged use of prescription opioids, heroin, or other illicit opioids. OUD is a life-threatening condition associated with a 20-fold greater risk of early death due to overdose, infectious diseases, trauma, and suicide. Mortality related to OUD continues to escalate as this public health crisis gathers momentum across the country, with opioid overdoses killing more than 47,000 people in 2017 in the United States. Efforts to date have made no real headway in stemming this crisis, in large part because tools that already existâ€"like evidence-based medicationsâ€"are not being deployed to maximum impact. To support the dissemination of accurate patient-focused information about treatments for addiction, and to help provide scientific solutions to the current opioid crisis, this report studies the evidence base on medication assisted treatment (MAT) for OUD. It examines available evidence on the range of parameters and circumstances in which MAT can be effectively delivered and identifies additional research needed.

Download or read book Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ziba Vaghri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a discussion on human rights-based attributes for each article pertinent to the substantive rights of children, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It provides the reader with a unique and clear overview of the scope and core content of the articles, together with an analysis of the latest jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. For each article of the UNCRC, the authors explore the nature and scope of corresponding State obligations, and identify the main features that need to be taken into consideration when assessing a State’s progressive implementation of the UNCRC. This analysis considers which aspects of a given right are most important to track, in order to monitor States' implementation of any given right, and whether there is any resultant change in the lives of children. This approach transforms the narrative of legal international standards concerning a given right into a set of characteristics that ensure no aspect of said right is overlooked. The book develops a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UNCRC that can be used as an introduction to the rights and principles it contains, and to identify directions for future policy and strategy development in compliance with the UNCRC. As such, it offers an invaluable reference guide for researchers and students in the field of childhood and children’s rights studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with the subject.

This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) reviews the use of the three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD)—methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine—and provides guidance for healthcare professionals and addiction treatment providers on appropriate prescribing practices for these medications and effective strategies for supporting the patients utilizing medication for the treatment of OUD. The goal of treatment for opioid addiction or OUD is remission of the disorder leading to lasting recovery. Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. This TIP also educates patients, families, and the general public about how OUD medications work and the benefits they offer.
