    The New Face of Drug Abuse: Impact on your Children, Family, and Community Patrick J. Sammon, Ph.D . [email protected] Impact of Prescription Drug Abuse: Illegal use of these drugs is responsible for multiple overdoses and fatalities Opiate addiction is blamed for causing a surge in crime: Robberies and break-ins at pharmacies Drug shoppers scamming doctors Harassments, assaults, and robberies of patients leaving drugstores Shoplifting and burglaries to support addiction Domestic violence and abuse Who’s at risk, who are the most vulnerable?: Adolescents - Sharp increase in 12 to 17 yr. olds and the 18 to 25 yr. olds Women - Increase rate of use in younger women Older adults - 17% of 60 + yr. olds may be affected by prescription drug abuse Why are Prescription Drugs so Popular? Legal, Easy to Obtain, Cheap and Safe & Non-addictive Legal: Perception that there is less legal risk than illicit drugs − Federal law does not distinguish between CI & CII drugs Easily obtainable: - From users, diverters, clinics, hospitals, Emergency Departments and practitioners and easy to steal Cheap: Low or no co-pay cost; may motivate people to use or sell PD’s Safer and Non-addictive: - Easily identity and less stigma than street drugs - Higher purity and less risky - Less HIV or hepatitis risk - Easier to use, no IV injecting but what about tolerance…and addiction! Commonly Misused and Abused Prescription & OTC Drugs Substance misuse is use of a drug that varies from a socially or medically accepted use. Substance abuse - any use of drugs that cause physical, psychological, economic, legal or social harm to the individual user or to others affected by the drug use's behavior.

Shelat3, Amandeep Singh4, Nidal Boulos1, Richard T. Williams1,2*, and R. Kiplin Guy2,3 Abstract Signaling by the BCR-ABL fusion kinase drives Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Despite their clinical activity in many patients with CML, the BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors (BCR-ABL-KIs) imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib provide only transient leukemia reduction in patients with Ph+ ALL. While host-derived growth factors in the leukemia microenvironment have been invoked to explain this drug resistance, their relative contribution remains uncertain. Using genetically defined murine Ph+ ALL cells, we identified interleukin 7 (IL-7) as the dominant host factor that attenuates response to BCR-ABL-KIs. To identify potential combination drugs that could overcome this IL-7–dependent BCR-ABL-KI–resistant phenotype, we screened a small-molecule library including Food and Drug Administration–approved drugs. Among the validated hits, the well-tolerated antimalarial drug dihydroartemisinin (DHA) displayed potent activity in vitro and modest in vivo monotherapy activity against engineered murine BCR-ABL-KI–resistant Ph+ ALL. Strikingly, cotreatment with DHA and dasatinib in vivo strongly reduced primary leukemia burden and improved long-term survival in a murine model that faithfully captures the BCR-ABL-KI–resistant phenotype of human Ph+ ALL.

Abstract Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease; it's one of the most common skin disorders and affects mainly adolescents and young adults. Keratolytic agents are widely used in treatment of acne from several years. In this study we aimed to evaluate and compare the cutaneous response of different keratolytic agents in management of acne vulgaris. Ninety patients were selected among those attending the outpatient dermatology clinic in AD- Dwadmi hospital during the period from October 2015 to February 2016. The selected patients had different forms of acne vulgaris, papulo-pustular, comedonal and post acne scar. Three types of keratolytic agents were used, glycolic acid 50%, salicylic acid 20% and jessner solution. In papulopustular lesions, the three agents were effective with non-significant difference between them; however, there was more excellent results with jessner solution (70 % of patients) then glycolic acid (50%) and lastly salicylic acid (40%).
