We hypothesized that greater reductions in 12-step affiliation and meeting attendance would predict greater increases in drinking and drug use, and that these effects would mediate the superior long-term treatment effects observed for the ICBT condition. The sample for this study includes 201 veterans who participated in a trial of outpatient group psychotherapy for comorbid […]

Cases missing outcome data were typically dropped from analyses
While the women in the qualitative study explicitly described these experiences related to drug and not alcohol use, it is plausible that they apply to alcohol as well. Thus, policies that require informing women that their substance use may have already harmed their fetus, such as MWS policies, could lead women to avoid prenatal care. […]
Measurements of PPI can be a great additional tool in this multivariate approach
Mice that model the 22q11 deletion syndrome were genetically engineered and displayed PPI impairments . Because redoxdysregulation and allelic variants of the genes coding for the rate-limiting glutathione synthesizing enzyme glutamate-cysteineligase modifier have also been implicated in BD, mice with this GCLM knocked out were tested and exhibited PPI deficits . In a genome-wide association study, […]
We tested one- to five-group quadratic trajectory models to find a best-fitting model
Results showed deterioration of white matter integrity in youth who drank heavily compared with age- and sex-matched controls. Moreover, the slope of this reduction over time corresponded with days of drinking since the study entry.Within-subject analyses contrasted developmental trajectories of youth before and after they initiated heavy drinking. These analyses suggested that drinking onset was […]
Measuring drug use in epidemiological research studies poses challenges
A mammalian embryo can successfully implant in the uterus only after it has become a blastocyst. This consists of a small cluster of cells called the inner cell mass, which eventually develops into the fetus, and a thin layer of outer cells called trophectoderm, which gives rise to the placenta . When cells in the […]
An alternative to real experiments is to have students collect data in a virtual environment
Greater thalamic response to risky reward versus loss feedback in PSUs is consistent with research demon strating that thalamic BOLD signals are linked to relapse in cocaine-dependent individuals . Thalamus acts as a relay center for the brain by sending sensory information to insula for further interoceptive processing ; hypo activation to loss may reflect differences in […]
Descriptive statistics for covariates were calculated by AUD/remission status
The bivariate association of each covariate with AUD/remission status was tested using multi-nomial regression analysis with persistent AUD as the reference category. Concordance rates for AUD/remission status in related and unrelated pairs were calculated. Relatives’ AUD/remission status was the dependent variable in a multi-variable multinomial logistic regression, with relatives’ persistent AUD as the reference category […]
Youth with worse HIV disease severity are more likely to engage in substance use
A GWAS of opioid response in a Japanese sample found that the C allele of rs2952768, which is in an LD block with rs7591784 , was significantly associated with greater postoperative opioid analgesic requirements, as well as lower reward dependence in healthy volunteers, lower risk of polydrug use in volunteers with methamphetamine dependence, alcohol dependence, […]
How Much Does Vertical Farming Cost
The cost of vertical farming can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the scale of the operation, the technology and equipment used, the location, and the crops being grown. Here are some key cost considerations in vertical farming: It is challenging to provide a specific cost estimate for vertical farming as it can […]
When Did Vertical Farming Start
Vertical farming as a concept has been around for several decades, but its modern form began to take shape in the early 2000s. The idea of growing plants vertically, stacked in layers or on vertical surfaces, emerged as a potential solution to address various challenges in agriculture, such as land scarcity, climate limitations, and food […]
