Mean central macular thickness and foveal thickness increased by 5.03 ± 5.02 μm and 2.78 (interquartile range 2-4) μm, respectively. In this study, correlation analysis shows that the laser energy applied was significantly and strongly correlated with reductions in macular pigment optical density (for the fovea and pericentral area respectively r = -0.855, p < 0.001; r = -0.895, p < 0.001). Further, there were significant and strong correlations between the applied laser energy, and central macular thickness and fovea thickness (r = 0.751, p < 0.001; ρ = 0.718, p < 0.001, respectively). Panretinal photocoagulation may potentially cause a decrease in macular pigment density in proportion to the laser energy applied. Panretinal photocoagulation may potentially cause a decrease in macular pigment density in proportion to the laser energy applied. Overdose deaths related to illegal drugs in North American markets are now dominated by potent synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, a circumstance foreshadowed by often-overlooked events in Estonia since the turn of the century. Market transitions generate important and far-reaching implications for drug policy. The supplier-driven introduction of illegally manufactured synthetic opioids into street opioids is elevating the risk of fatal overdose. Using the most recent overdose mortality and drug seizure data in North America, we find that overdose deaths and seizures involving synthetic opioids are geographically concentrated, but this might be changing. Examination here suggests that in some places fentanyl and its analogues have virtually displaced traditional opioids, such as heroin. The concealing of synthetic opioids in powders sold as heroin or pressed into counterfeit medications substantially increases harms. The nature and s
