Does excessive alcohol use in teenagers affect their everyday prospective memory?

J Adolesc Health

Division of Psychology, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Published: July 2006

This study explored everyday prospective memory deficits associated with excessive alcohol use in teenagers aged 16-19 years. Excessive and low-dose alcohol users completed the Prospective Memory Questionnaire, which measures self-reported everyday memory errors. After controlling for other drug use, excessive users reported significantly more everyday memory errors than low-dose controls.

The Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction offers effective and reliable strategies for the preparation of alcohols via carbon-carbon bond formation. Typical methods usually require stoichiometric amounts of chromium salts, co-transition metals, and auxiliary reagents, which limits their practical application in industrial chemistry. To mitigate these limitations, substantial efforts have been made to develop chromium-catalytic approaches.

The fibronectin-targeting PEG-FUD imaging probe shows enhanced uptake during fibrogenesis in experimental lung fibrosis.

Respir Res

Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 600 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI, 53792, USA.

Progressive forms of interstitial lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), are deadly disorders lacking non-invasive biomarkers for assessment of early disease activity, which presents a major obstacle in disease management. Excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition is a hallmark of these disorders, with fibronectin being an abundant ECM glycoprotein that is highly upregulated in early fibrosis and serves as a scaffold for the deposition of other matrix proteins. Due to its role in active fibrosis, we are targeting fibronectin as a biomarker of early lung fibrosis disease activity via the PEGylated fibronectin-binding polypeptide (PEG-FUD).

Tigecycline (Tgc), a third-generation tetracycline is found as the last line of defense against multi-drug resistant bacteria. Recent increased rate of resistance to tgc, a human-restricted agent among animal bacteria poses a significant global health challenge. Overuse of first generation tetracyclines (Tet) and phenicols in animals have been suggested to be associated with Tgc resistance development.

Gastric ulcer (GU), a common digestive system disorder in clinical practice, often arises from excessive alcohol consumption and other factors that irritate the gastric mucosa. Effective treatment of GU remains challenging due to the poor targeting, limited efficacy, and significant side effects associated with current therapeutic approaches. To address these limitations, we developed a microenvironment-responsive hydrogel composed of sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan (CS), incorporating MnO nanoparticles and pachymic acid (PA).

Challenges in the Management of Severe Serotonin Syndrome: A Case Report.

Cureus

December 2024

Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Kaweah Delta Health Care District, Visalia, USA.

Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can result from excessive serotonergic activity, often due to SSRIs, formally known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The syndrome and its effects are often secondary to drug-drug interactions or dose-related. This case highlights a 47-year-old female who presents with a history of major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and severe alcohol use disorder.
