AI Article Synopsis
- Data was collected from 503 college students in rural and urban areas between January and October 2009 to investigate the relationship between alcohol dependency and disordered gambling among athletes and nonathletes.
- Results showed that athletes exhibited higher rates of cross-addiction, with a notable correlation between their scores on tests for both alcohol dependency (MAST) and gambling behaviors (SOGS).
- The study discusses limitations in data collection and suggests further research to create programs to support students dealing with these issues.
Article Abstract
Data on 503 students from rural and urban areas were collected from January 2009 to October 2009 to test for cross-addiction of alcohol dependency with disordered gambling among college athletes and nonathletes. To test for alcohol dependency, the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) was employed, while the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) was utilized to assess gambling behaviors. Athletes had higher frequencies of cross-addiction. For athletes there was a correlation between scores on the MAST and SOGS. Limitations related to data collection are discussed. Recommendations for further research directed toward the development of programs geared to assist students are given.

In the present study, we uncovered and validated potential biomarkers related to gout, characterized by the accumulation of sodium urate crystals in different joint and non-joint structures. The data set GSE160170 was obtained from the GEO database. We conducted differential gene expression analysis, GO enrichment assessment, and KEGG pathway analysis to understand the underlying processes.

Background: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) affects over 15 million individuals in the United States, contributing to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and elevating the risk of neurodegeneration. Despite this, the connection between AUD and aging conditions, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), remains unclear. AD, with a heritability of 60-80%, is genetically linked, necessitating an exploration of the molecular implications of AUD and genetic susceptibility to AD.

Background: Clear sex differences exist in AD and PD. Several studies examined genetic regulations for AD phenotypes and gene expression data in a sex-specific manner, identifying some differences between males and females. In contrasts, although proteins are final effectors of most physiological pathways and important drug targets, sex-specific regulations for proteins remain vastly understudied.

Background: Previous literature has highlighted that excessive alcohol use (EAU) is directly linked with permanent neurological damage. Studies have also highlighted gradual improvements in heart rate variability (HRV) after cessation of alcohol use. Moreover, chronic alcohol consumption has also been correlated with reduced HRV and an increase in skin conductance (SC) among healthy adults, leading to a combined decline in cognitive performance.

Background: Neurocognitive health is influenced by multiple modifiable and non-modifiable lifestyle factors. Machine learning tools offer a promising approach to better understand complex models of cognitive function. We used extreme gradient boosting (XG Boost), an algorithm of decision-tree modeling, to analyze the association between 15 late-life lifestyle and demographic factors with episodic memory performance.
