An experimental investigation into the impact of acute stress on alcohol craving.

Drinking to cope is associated with many negative alcohol-related outcomes among college students, such as increased alcohol use, drinking-related problems, and alcohol use disorders. Previous experimental studies have shown that students exposed to a stressor, compared to those not exposed to a stressor, drink more and have stronger urges to drink, presumably to cope with the stressor. However, no such study has tested this effect using a remote-based stressor, which may be more common for students because of the recent increase in online learning.

Single-cell RNA-seq reveals a resolving immune phenotype in the oral mucosa.

The oral mucosa is the interface between the host immune response and the oral microbiota. In periodontal disease, the microbial plaque elicits a tissue-destructive immune response. Removal of the microbial stimulus initiates active resolution of inflammatory.

An Application of the Stressor-Vulnerability Model of Drinking in College Student Drinkers.

The stressor vulnerability model provides theoretical support for conditions under which drinking to cope (DTC) is likely to occur (i.e., decreased adaptive coping, increased positive alcohol expectancies).

Association of Obesity With Kidney and Cardiac Outcomes Among Patients With Glomerular Disease: Findings From the Cure Glomerulonephropathy Network.

Rationale & Objective: The influence of obesity on cardiorenal outcomes in individuals with glomerular disease is incompletely known. This study examined the association between obesity and kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in children and adults with glomerular kidney disease.

Study Design: Prospective, multicenter, observational study.
