Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic relapsing brain disorder characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol consumption despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences. AUD affects nearly one-third of adults at some point during their lives, with an associated cost of approximately $249 billion annually in the U.S.

Obesity (Silver Spring)
September 2024
Objective: Time-restricted eating (TRE), a dietary approach that confines food intake to specific time windows, has shown metabolic benefits. However, its impact on body weight loss remains inconclusive. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of early TRE (eTRE) and delayed TRE (dTRE) on fat mobilization using human adipose tissue (AT) cultures.

- Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) shows promise for treating chronic pain and sensorimotor disorders, but the mechanisms and electrode placement effects on spinal recordings are not fully understood.
- This study involved implanting electrode arrays in swine and used imaging techniques to analyze how electrode placement correlates with spinal anatomy and recording responses.
- The findings revealed significant differences in the spatial relationship between electrode contacts and spinal nerve rootlets, indicating that electrode placement is critical for effective stimulation and recording in the spinal cord.
Study Objectives: Napping is a common habit in many countries. Nevertheless, studies about the chronic effects of napping on obesity are contradictory, and the molecular link between napping and metabolic alterations has yet to be studied. We aim to identify molecular mechanisms in adipose tissue (AT) that may connect napping and abdominal obesity.
