The number of citations a peer-reviewed article receives is often used as a measure of its importance and scientific impact. This paper identifies, describes and categorizes the highly cited papers in addiction research on cannabis, heroin, cocaine and psychostimulants. Highly cited papers were identified in the Web of Science Core Collection database. Several bibliometric indicators were calculated. Social network analysis was applied to draw groups of authors and institutions with the greatest number of collaborations and co-words. The number of citations for the top 100 cited articles ranged from 649 to 4,672. The articles were published in 40 journals. The subject category Substance Abuse included 10 papers. The United States was the most productive country (79 papers), followed by the United Kingdom (9). The main funding institutions were the National Institutes of Health in the United States. The network of collaboration between authors distributes the 352 researchers into 53 groups. The three most cited works address the neural basis of drug craving as an incentive-sensitization theory of addiction, the clinical and research uses of the Addiction Severity Index, and the neurocircuitry of addiction. Scientific literature on addictions is widely dispersed both in multidisciplinary and specific journals of neurology, psychiatry and addictions, with relatively few publications providing most of the citations. An ongoing challenge for this field is the concentration of highly cited papers coming from a select number of countries, with the United States being the research hub of the world, with the highest volume of publications and total citations.

Peptidoglycans modulating the interaction of a bactericide compound with lipids at the air-water interface.

Authors:
Guilherme Nuñez Jaroque Patrícia Sartorelli Luciano Caseli

Chem Phys Lipids 2021 Apr 7:105082. Epub 2021 Apr 7.

Department of Chemistry, Federal University of São Paulo, Diadema, SP, Brazil. Electronic address:

A known monoterpene, named γ-terpineol, was incorporated in mixed Langmuir monolayers composed of dipalmitoyl-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) and peptidoglycans as a model of microbial membranes. Surface pressure and surface potential isotherms, dynamical surface rheology, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), and infrared spectroscopy were employed to characterize the compound-membrane interactions. The compound expanded monolayers denoting repulsive interactions. Read More

Mandatory treatment for methamphetamine use in Australia.

Authors:
Mathew Coleman Kelly Ridley Michael Christmass

Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 2021 Apr 9;16(1):33. Epub 2021 Apr 9.

Next Step Drug and Alcohol Service, 32 Moore St, East Perth, Western Australia.

Background: In 2016, following a flurry of government inquiries and taskforces including calls for mandatory treatment regimes, the Australian community nominated methamphetamine as the drug most likely to be associated as a problem substance. Mandatory treatment for alcohol and other drug problems in Australia consists of broadly two mechanisms compelling a person into treatment: involuntary treatment or civil commitment regimes; and coercive treatment regimes, usually associated with the criminal justice system. This paper aims to provide a review of the evidence for mandatory treatment regimes for people who use methamphetamines. Read More
