Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS):
Research into the effects, prevalence, and management of novel psychoactive substances has significantly increased, reflecting the growing concern over their use and associated toxicities. - Opioid Crisis and Related Toxicities:
Given the ongoing opioid epidemic, there is a marked increase in studies examining opioid-related poisonings, including the role of synthetic opioids and their management in emergency settings. - Cannabis and Derivatives:
With the legalization of cannabis in various regions, research has expanded to include cannabis-related toxicities, particularly in pediatric populations and the implications of recreational use. - Telemedicine and Remote Consultations:
The use of telemedicine for poison management and consultations has gained traction, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to innovative approaches in clinical toxicology. - Environmental and Chemical Disaster Response:
Research focusing on the clinical response to chemical disasters and environmental exposures has become more prominent, especially in the context of public health emergencies. - Technological Integration in Toxicology:
There is a growing trend towards integrating technology, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, into toxicology research for improved diagnostics and decision-making.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antivenom Use:
There has been a noticeable decline in research focused solely on traditional antivenom use as newer therapies and combination treatments gain prominence in managing snakebites and envenomations. - Over-the-Counter Medication Poisoning:
Research on over-the-counter medications has decreased as the focus shifts towards more complex cases involving prescription drugs and novel psychoactive substances. - Chemical Exposure from Household Products:
The frequency of studies specifically targeting household product poisonings has waned, possibly due to increased public awareness and regulatory changes reducing such incidents. - Acute Alcohol Poisoning in Adults:
Although still prevalent, the amount of research specifically dedicated to acute alcohol poisoning in adults has decreased as the focus moves towards poly-drug use and its implications. - Long-term Effects of Certain Drugs:
Studies examining the long-term effects of specific drugs, especially older medications, have become less common, with emerging drugs and newer therapeutic agents taking precedence.
