AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined how ethanol affects bioamines in the jejunum during different alcohol intoxication stages.
  • The researchers measured levels of catecholamines, serotonin, and histamine using advanced microscopy techniques.
  • They found that after 60 days of chronic alcohol use, there was an uneven increase in biogenic amines, but after 180 days, the balance was disrupted, with catecholamines becoming more dominant.

Article Abstract

We studied the effects of ethanol on bioamine-containing structures in the jejunum at different stages of alcohol intoxication. The content of catecholamines, serotonin, and histamine in enterocytes of the villus epithelium, submucosa mast cells, crypt enterocytes, and muscular layer was measured by luminescent microscopy and cytospectrofluorometry. Uneven increase of biogenic amine content was found in rats in the initial period of chronic alcohol intoxication (60 days). Further alcohol intake (up to 180 days) impaired the balance of biogenic amines; catecholamines started to prevail.

Objective: Aim: Using morphometric methods to study the features of endotheliocyte remodeling of the arterial and venous beds of the testicles during long-term ethanol intoxication.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Endotheliocytes of the arterial and venous bed of the left and right testes of 60 white male rats, which were divided into two groups, were morphologically studied. The 1 group consisted of 30 intact animals, the 2 - 30 rats, which were daily intragastrically injected with a 30 % ethanol solution at the rate of 2 ml per 100 g of the animal's weight for 28 days.

Objectives: The accurate identification of Emergency Department (ED) encounters involving opioid misuse is critical for health services, research, and surveillance. We sought to develop natural language processing (NLP)-based models for the detection of ED encounters involving opioid misuse.

Methods: A sample of ED encounters enriched for opioid misuse was manually annotated and clinical notes extracted.

Background: Early midlife individuals (ages 30-40) experience demographic shifts that may influence the remainder of adult life. Although new or persistent alcohol misuse is common during this period, early midlife is understudied in alcohol use literature. We examined the heritability of alcohol misuse; the associations between alcohol misuse and sociodemographic factors, physical health, and well-being; and whether these associations were robust in cotwin comparisons.

Unlabelled: Type 2 diabetes is a public health problem in which general practitioners are in the front line, acting on all fronts, from screening to management.

Methods: Single-centre, quantitative, retrospective and descriptive study aimed at characterising the profile of patients referred to hospital by general practitioners in an internal medicine department in Strasbourg for rebalancing of their type 2 diabetes during the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022.

Results: 167 files were analysed, resulting in the inclusion of 72 patients with an average age of 61.
