BLA inputs to the BNST regulate social stress-escalated alcohol consumption.

Background: Aversive social experiences can lead to escalated drug consumption and increase the risk of relapse to drug seeking. Individuals who consume alcohol to alleviate the effects of social stress are more likely to develop an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Repeated social defeat stress (SDS) enhances the rewarding and reinforcing effects of alcohol.

The effect of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on cognitive performance in human experimental studies: Systematic review and meta-analyses.

Background: The objective of this review is to evaluate the associations between short-term exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) and cognitive performance in human experimental studies.

Methods: Online databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and EMF-Portal) were searched for studies that evaluated effects of exposure to RF-EMF on seven domains of cognitive performance in human experimental studies. The assessment of study quality was based on the Risk of Bias (RoB) tool developed by the Office of Health Assessment and Translation (OHAT).

Factors influencing colorectal cancer screening decision-making among average-risk US adults.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates remain suboptimal in the US. We examined patient-focused concerns and influence of various factors (e.g.

Factors Associated With Clinician Recommendations for Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Average-Risk Patients: Data From a National Survey.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among average-risk patients is underused in the US. Clinician recommendation is strongly associated with CRC screening completion. To inform interventions that improve CRC screening uptake among average-risk patients, we examined clinicians' routine recommendations of 7 guideline-recommended screening methods and factors associated with these recommendations.

Provider-perceived barriers to patient adherence to colorectal cancer screening.

Background: Average-risk colorectal cancer (CRC) screening remains underutilized in the US. Provider recommendation is strongly associated with CRC screening completion. To inform interventions aimed at improving screening uptake, we examined providers' perspectives on patient and health system barriers to CRC screening adherence, along with associated system-level interventions to improve uptake.
