“…Further, after completing the IC stages, the researcher will have a very good idea of which aspects of the data will make for interesting research papers and one or more analysis files can then be used to structure a journal article. For example, Figs 6 and 7 form the basis of Neale et al ., 2007 34 and Supporting information, Files S1–S4 form the basis of Neale et al ., 2012 5 and Neale & Strang, 2015 6. Using both the summary files and the more detailed analyses files, the researcher can thus write up themes, identify any new concepts or categories and document and endeavour to account for any patterns or associations in the data.…”

The processes of analysing qualitative data, particularly the stage between coding and publication, are often vague and/or poorly explained within addiction science and research more broadly. A simple but rigorous and transparent technique for analysing qualitative textual data, developed within the field of addiction, is described. The technique, iterative categorization (IC), is suitable for use with inductive and deductive codes and can support a range of common analytical approaches, e.g. thematic analysis, Framework, constant comparison, analytical induction, content analysis, conversational analysis, discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis and narrative analysis. Once the data have been coded, the only software required is a standard word processing package. Worked examples are provided.

rESUMo objetivo: Identificar o estado nutricional e hábitos alimentares de pacientes masculinos em recuperação de dependência química em acompanhamento ambulatorial de uma unidade de adição. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 25 pacientes adultos em tratamento ambulatorial para dependência química. Foram aferidos parâmetros antropométricos (peso, estatura, circunferência da cintura e índice de massa corporal) e de composição corporal (bioimpedância elétri-ca), e foram investigados hábitos alimentares (Questionário de Frequência Alimentar -QFA). As variáveis categóricas são apresentadas como frequências e percentuais e as variáveis contínuas, como média e desvio-padrão ou como mediana e intervalo interquartil. resultados: Observou-se índice de massa corporal médio de 27,73 ± 4,15 kg/m², com prevalência de sobrepeso de 80% e obesidade de 8%. A média da circunferência da cintura foi de 96,60 ± 9,84 cm e a de percentual de gordura corporal, de 23,24 ± 6,44. A maior parte da amostra estudada [20 (80%)] refere realizar quatro ou mais refeições por dia e 72% referiram aumento do consumo alimentar no período de abstinência. A preferência por alimentos específicos no período de abstinência foi relatada por 12 (48%) pacientes. Em relação ao consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, destaca-se o consumo diário de pão francês (68%), pães brancos de forma (16%), sucos artificiais (48%), refrigerantes (32%), queijo amarelo (36%), embutidos com alto teor de gordura (36%) e balas e chicletes (32%). Conclusão: Os resultados mostram prevalência elevada de sobrepeso e obesidade, além de medida de circunferência da cintura alterada, relato de aumento da ingestão alimentar e consumo diário e semanal elevado de alimentos ultraprocessados. aBStraCt objective: To identify the nutritional status and dietary habits of male patients recovering from chemical dependency in an ambulatory treatment of an addition unit. Methods: Crosssectional study with 25 male patients in ambulatorial treatment for chemical dependency. Anthropometric parameters (weight, height, waist circumference and body mass index) and body composition (bioelectrical impedance) were measured and dietary habits (Food Frequency Questionnaire) were investigated. Categorical variables are shown as frequencies and percentages and continuous variables as mean and standard deviation or as median and interquartile range. results: It was found a body mass index mean of 27.73 ± 4.15 kg/m², with a prevalence of overweight in 88% of the sample. The waist circumference mean was 96.60 ± 9.84 cm and a

“…Oxidative stress could disturb thiol/disulfide homeostasis, causing disulfide formation and subsequently leading to changes in protein functions. Eating patterns in heroin addicts have been reported to vary according to many factors, but these addicts tend to eat cheap and quick food and often suffer from loss of appetite during active heroin use (8). So heroin addicts tend to have nutritional deficiencies.…”

Thiol/disulphide homeostasis in men with heroin addictionObjective: Heroin addicts have increased oxidative stress which can disturb thiol/disulfide (SH/SS) homeostasis, causing disulfide formation. No study has determined the serum thiol amount and blood disulfide amount in heroin addicts. The aim of the study was to investigate dynamic SH/SS homeostasis in heroin addicts.Methods: Serum SH/SS statuses of 31 heroin addicts and 31 healthy controls were compared to determine the changes in SH/SS homeostasis in heroin addicts. Blood serum native thiol and total thiol (ToSH) levels were measured and the disulfide bond amount was calculated as the half value of the difference between native thiol and ToSH levels. For comparison t-test was used.Results: SH and ToSH levels were significantly lower (p<0.001 for both) in heroin addicts than in the healthy group whereas disulfide levels were significantly higher (p<0.001). Heroin addicts had significantly higher SS/ToSH and SS/SH ratios and significantly lower SH/ToSH ratios than healthy individuals. Conclusion:The results showed that SH and ToSH levels were decreased in heroin addicts and SH/SS homeostasis was also disturbed with a shift to the disulfide bond formation side. Results of this study could contribute to the knowledge about pathogenesis of heroin addiction and also to its management. We suggest that replacement of the thiol gap and reduction of excess SS might have positive effects in treatment results.Keywords: Addiction, disulfide, heroin, oxidative stress, thiol ÖZET Eroin bağımlısı erkeklerde tiol/disülfit homeostaziAmaç: Eroin bağımlılığının oksidatif stres artışı ile ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Oksidatif stres disülfit oluşumuna yol açarak tiol/disülfit (SH/SS) homeostazını bozabilir ve böylece protein işlevlerinde değişimlere neden olabilir. Eroin bağımlılarında serum tiol miktarı ve kan disülfit miktarının araştırıldığı bir çalışma mevcut değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı eroin bağımlılığında dinamik SH/SS homeostazını incelemektir.Yöntem: Otuz bir eroin bağımlısı erkek ve otuz bir sağlıklı erkekte natif tiol-disülfit değişimlerini içeren kan SH/SS homeostazı incelendi. Serum natif tiol ve total tiol (ToSH) düzeyleri ölçüldü; natif tiol ve ToSH düzeyleri farkının yarı değeri olarak disülfit bağ düzeyi hesaplandı. Karşılaştırmalar t testi ile yapıldı.Bulgular: Eroin bağımlısı erkeklerde SH ve ToSH konsantrasyonları kontrollere göre daha düşük (her ikisi için p<0.001) ve SS düzeyleri daha yüksek (p=0.001) saptandı. Eroin bağımlılarında SS/ToSH ve SS/SH oranları sağlıklı erkeklerden daha yüksek (her ikisi için p<0.001) ve SH/ToSH oranı daha düşük (p<0.001) saptandı.Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçları serum SH ve ToSH düzeylerinin eroin bağımlısı erkeklerde azalmış olduğu ve SH/SS homeostazının disülfit bağı oluşumu yönünde bozulduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar eroin bağımlılığı patogenezi ve eroin bağımlılığına yaklaşım açısından katkı sağlayabilir. Eroin bağımlılığının tedavi sürecinde tiol eksikliğinin yerine konması ve aşırı disülfit miktarının azal...
