Background: Spirituality is an important component of recovery for many individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). However, few studies have compared patient and physician attitudes on spirituality in SUD recovery.
Objective: This study investigates patient and physician beliefs about the role of spirituality in SUD recovery and about discussing spirituality in relationship to recovery in primary care settings.
Objective: Impaired insight and illness denial are common in anorexia nervosa (AN). Missing an AN diagnosis may delay treatment and negatively impact outcomes.
Method: The current retrospective study examined the prevalence and characteristics of AN symptom non-endorsement (i.
Topic: We provide global estimates of the prevalence of corneal blindness and vision impairment in adults 40 years of age and older and examine the burden by age, sex, and geographic region from 1984 through 2020.
Clinical Relevance: Corneal opacities (COs) are among the top 5 causes of blindness worldwide, yet the global prevalence, regional differences, and risk factors are unclear.
Methods: Abstracted data from the published literature and surveys were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Vision Loss Expert Group.
Maps of the synapses made and neurotransmitters released by all neurons in model systems, such as have left still unresolved how neural circuits integrate and respond to neurotransmitter signals. Using the egg-laying circuit of as a model, we mapped which cells express each of the 26 neurotransmitter GPCRs of this organism and also genetically analyzed the functions of all 26 GPCRs. We found that individual neurons express many distinct receptors, epithelial cells often express neurotransmitter receptors, and receptors are often positioned to receive extrasynaptic signals.
