“…Biomedical research and bioinformatics demand more efforts to make bioinformatics software and data more findable (discoverable), accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR principles) 16 . Leveraging those principles, we recommend to the bioinformatics community and software developers to make their containers and packages more findable.…”

Software Containers are changing the way scientists and researchers develop, deploy and exchange scientific software. They allow labs of all sizes to easily install bioinformatics software, maintain multiple versions of the same software and combine tools into powerful analysis pipelines. However, containers and software packages should be produced under certain rules and standards in order to be reusable, compatible and easy to integrate into pipelines and analysis workflows. Here, we presented a set of recommendations developed by the BioContainers Community to produce standardized bioinformatics packages and containers. These recommendations provide practical guidelines to make bioinformatics software more discoverable, reusable and transparent. They are aimed to guide developers, organisations, journals and funders to increase the quality and sustainability of research software.

“…Women represent between 20% and 35% of patients in most opiate treatment programs, and heroin is the most common primary drug for women in methadone treatment, 1 although prescription opioid abuse has been increasing. 2 Ms W has hepatitis C, but she escaped other infections common in individuals using heroin intravenously, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and subacute bacterial endocarditis.…”

“…Drugs that are taken by smoking, such as crack cocaine or nicotine, have a male-female ratio that is closer to 50-50. 1 Prescription opioid abuse, which can involve oral administration as well as crushing and dissolving for injection, may also include an equal proportion of women, but comparative studies have not been done. 2 Aspects of Ms W’s presentation that are common among women addicted to heroin include history of sexual abuse in childhood, of being battered by a spouse or significant other, and of earning money by prostitution.…”

Heroin addiction is a complicated medical and psychiatric issue, with well-established as well as newer modes of treatment. The case of Ms W, a 50-year-old woman with a long history of opiate addiction who has been treated successfully with methadone for 9 years and who now would like to consider newer alternatives, illustrates the complex issues of heroin addiction. The treatment of heroin addiction as a chronic disease is reviewed, including social, medical, and cultural issues and pharmacologic treatment with methadone and the more experimental medication options of buprenorphine and naltrexone.Dr Ship: Ms W is a 50-year-old woman being treated with methadone maintenance. She lives in Boston and has Medicare.Ms W began using heroin at age 14 years. She used intravenous heroin but has subsequently sniffed it as well. Friends of hers used the drug and she decided to try it. Initially she did not like it, but she returned to it for reasons she cannot understand and became addicted. She supported her habit with stealing, armed robbery, and prostitution. She has been in detoxification "more than 20 times" and had repeated difficulties remaining free from heroin use. She finds that at times of stress it is very difficult to refrain from using heroin, and she relapses.Ms W currently receives maintenance methadone, 108 mg/d. She gets her methadone once a week and sees a counselor as well. She has tried to reduce her methadone dose several times unsuccessfully. Each time, she found herself returning to heroin use. She is tired of taking methadone and would like to try buprenorphine. She hopes that this would prevent her from getting the desperate feeling she has occasionally for heroin and allow her eventually to be drug free.Ms W has 2 living children and 5 grandchildren. She lost 1 teenaged daughter to a gunshot wound. Ms W completed 10th grade and acquired her GED (General Education
