I Feel I Remember: The Phenomenology of Autobiographical Recall in Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder.

Introduction: Beyond the memory deficits classically observed in individuals with alcohol use disorder (IwAUD), research has recently focused on the study of autobiographical memory (AM) processes in IwAUD by analysing the content of AM narratives, and the implications for self-conception have been discussed. However, little is known about how IwAUD subjectively experience autobiographical recall.

Methods: Thirty-seven IwAUD and 37 control participants were invited to perform an AM task that involved recalling memories for 4 life periods (2 important memories per period).

Perception of aesthetic impairment in patients with systemic sclerosis determined using a semi-quantitative scale and its association with disease characteristics.

Background: Systemic sclerosis is a fibrotic disease. Body image assessments could be key in optimizing care; however, data are scarce. The main objective was to assess the perception of aesthetic impairment using a visual aesthetic evaluation scale in patients with systemic sclerosis compared with healthy subjects.

Factors associated with the use of benzodiazepine and opioid prescription drug in the student population: a cross-sectional study.

The misuse of benzodiazepines and opioid medications is frequent in students. To improve our understanding of this behavior, we aimed to identify factors associated with separate and concomitant use of these substances. Anonymous self-reported questionnaires were e-mailed to students enrolled at a French university between March and July 2021, covering: sociodemographic characteristics, academics, psychoactive substance use, ADHD symptomatology (adulthood and childhood), and psychiatric/psychological or addiction follow-up.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Pharmacogenetic Testing as Guides to Psychotropic Drug Dose Adjustment: An Observational Study.

To avoid the failures in therapy with psychotropic drugs, treatments can be personalized by applying the results of therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenetic testing. The objective of the present single-center observational study was to describe the changes in psychotropic drug management prompted by therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenetic testing, and to compare the effective drug concentration based on metabolic status with the dose predicted using an in silico decision tool for drug-drug interactions. The study was conducted in psychiatry wards at Lille University Hospital (Lille, France) between 2016 and 2020.

Could psychostimulant drug use among university students be related to ADHD symptoms? A preliminary study.

We aimed to explore if psychostimulant use among student could be linked to attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms using a self-administered questionnaire sent by email to French students in 2021. Participants were asked about their psychostimulant use and the presence of ADHD symptoms using the Wender Utah Rating Scale and the Adult Self-Report Scale. Among the 4431 respondents, the prevalence of psychostimulant use was concerning and significantly associated with ADHD symptoms.

An overview of the use of psychoactive substances among students at the University of Lille during the COVID-19 health crisis: Results of the PETRA study.

Objectives: Students represent a population at risk for substance abuse. That risk may have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to describe substance abuse among students and to compare consumption according to the university field.

Learning from others' experience: Social fear conditioning deficits in patients with severe alcohol use disorder.

Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a significant public health problem. A better understanding of the psychosocial factors contributing to AUD is important for developing public health policy. The purpose of this study was to identify social mechanisms involved in AUD and, more specifically, to determine whether vicarious learning deficits are related to the disorder.

Education and Training in Addiction Medicine and Psychology across Europe: A EUFAS Survey.

Introduction: Training in addiction medicine and addiction psychology is essential to ensure the quality of treatment for patients with substance use disorders. Some earlier research has shown varying training between countries, but no comprehensive study of addiction training across Europe has been performed. The present study by the European Federation for Addiction Societies (EUFAS) aimed to fill this gap.

Autobiographical memories cued by self-statements in patients with alcohol use disorder: linking self-conceptions to past events.

The study examined the personal sense of identity in alcohol use disorder (AUD) through the relation between autobiographical memories and individuals' self-conception. The AUD detoxified patients and control participants were asked to create a list of self-statements to which they associated for the three main autobiographical memories illustrating them. The group variable was not associated with the number of positive self-statements, but it was associated with the number of negative self-statements.

Lived experience of domestic violence among men with Parkinson's disease: A qualitative study.

Objectives: To explore possible forms of domestic violence suffered by men with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted through face-to face interviews, followed by a conceptual content analysis. Forms of violence were predetermined as code categories according to a classification of mistreatment and a lack within Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

[Oral drugs containing alcohol: Should we be careful?].

Ethanol is an excipient with known effect whose presence is regulated because it can cause adverse effects, notably a misuse. In order to raise awareness of this risk, this study searched all oral drugs with ethanol as an excipient from the Theriaque® database. All drugs marketed in France with a unit dose ethanol intake of 0.

Psychiatric Hospitalizations of People Found Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Disorder in France: A Ten-Year Retrospective Study (2011-2020).

Background: Criminal responsibility is a key concept in the criminal sanctioning of people diagnosed with mental health disorders who have committed crimes. In France, based on the recommendations of one or more expert psychiatrists, a judge can declare a person not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder (NCRMD) if, at the time of the offense, the person was presenting a psychiatric disorder that abolished or altered his/her capacity for discernment and/or ability to control his/her actions. In such a case, the judge also generally orders an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization.

Four Questions Nurses Can Ask to Predict PTSD 1 Year After a Motor Vehicle Crash.

Background: The role of nurses in screening for posttraumatic stress disorder is crucial in trauma units.

Objectives: To create and evaluate an easy and brief tool for nurses to predict chronic posttraumatic stress disorder 1 year after a motor vehicle crash.

Methods: We performed a 1-year follow-up multicenter study from 2007 to 2015, including 274 patients injured in a motor vehicle crash who were hospitalized in an orthopedic trauma unit.

Occurrence and severity of cocaine-induced hallucinations: Two distinct phenotypes with shared clinical factors but specific genetic risk factors.

Unlabelled: Cocaine-induced transient hallucinations (CIH) are a frequent complication following cocaine intake that is associated with addiction severity.

Methods: Two hundred and forty-two non-psychotic and Caucasian lifetime cocaine users were included in a French multicentric study. Clinical variables and dopamine pathway genotype data were extracted and tested with CIH scores using a zero-inflated binomial model, which allows for the exploration of factors associated with occurrence and severity separately.

Specificity and wealth of autobiographical memories in restrictive and mixed anorexic patients.

The reduced specificity of positive and negative autobiographical memories observed in anorexic (AN) patients may reflect a global disturbance in their emotional information processing. However, their emotional difficulties may differ according to the subtype of AN, implying possible differences in the manifestation of autobiographical memory impairments. The aims of the study were (1) to confirm the autobiographical memory deficits in AN patients in terms of specificity and wealth of memories, and (2) to compare autobiographical deficits according to the AN subtype: restrictive type (AR) or binge/purging type (AB).

Parkinson's disease: Content analysis of patient online discussion forums. A prospective observational study using Netnography.

Objectives: To assess the users' characteristics, discussion contents, and the atmosphere of virtual peer communities.

Methods: A qualitative, prospective study was conducted using the Netnography method. The most popular, publicly accessible French discussion forums were investigated.

[Association between screen time and sleep habits in 11-to-12-year-old French middle school students].

Background: Screen media usage has become increasingly commonplace in daily life with children initiating themselves to screen media at an early age. Given the high prevalence of screen viewing among children worldwide, its impact on children's health has become a cause for concern. Unfortunately, little information on the independent association between sleep habits and screen time in French children is currently available.

How Doctors' Beliefs Influence Gynecological Health Care for Women Who Have Sex with Other Women.

Women who occasionally or regularly have sex with other women (WSW) are rarely identified in primary care. Although we know about their specific health needs, health care professionals still find it difficult to ask questions about sexual orientation (SO) and behaviors, and sometimes, patients may find them difficult to answer. The still remains a widespread attitude in health care.

Effect of intrapersonal emotional competences on the relationship between attachment insecurity and severity of eating disorder symptoms in patients with restrictive anorexia.

Objective: Attachment insecurity and emotional competences (EC) form a key part of conceptual models of anorexia nervosa (AN). We explored the relationship between attachment dimensions and EC on the severity of eating disorders in patients diagnosed with restrictive AN.

Method: Sixty-three female patients with restrictive AN and 63 healthy participants completed self-report measures (eating symptoms, EC, attachment, depression, and anxiety).

Dose-dependent metabolite changes after ethanol intoxication in rat prefrontal cortex using in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Ethanol disrupts the balance between the excitatory (glutamatergic) and inhibitory (GABAergic) neurotransmission systems. We aimed to assess how acute ethanol intoxication in rats affects the levels of GABA, glutamate and other cerebral metabolites after injection of two different doses of ethanol. One in vivo magnetic resonance spectrum of the prefrontal cortex region was acquired before and six spectra were acquired after intraperitoneal injections of saline or ethanol (1 g/kg or 2 g/kg).

Therapeutic Prospects of Cannabidiol for Alcohol Use Disorder and Alcohol-Related Damages on the Liver and the Brain.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural component of cannabis that possesses a widespread and complex immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anxiolytic, and antiepileptic properties. Much experimental data suggest that CBD could be used for various purposes in alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol-related damage on the brain and the liver. To provide a rationale for using CBD to treat human subjects with AUD, based on the findings of experimental studies.

Schadenfreude, malicious and benign envy are associated with low body mass index in restrictive-type anorexia nervosa.

Purpose: According to the Cognitive-Interpersonal Maintenance Model of anorexia nervosa, social factors are involved in the maintenance and development of this disorder. Therefore, this study aimed to test whether patients with restrictive-type anorexia nervosa (AN-R) experience malicious envy (negative emotions associated with the wish that others lack their superior quality), benign envy (negative emotions associated with the desire to reach and obtain the others' superior quality) and Schadenfreude (pleasure at the misfortunes of others) with a higher intensity than healthy controls (HC).

Methods: 26 AN-R patients and 32 HC completed scenarios that aimed to induce envy and Schadenfreude and completed questionnaires measuring envy, self-esteem and social comparison.
