The authors present a 9-year follow-up study of 76 chronically ill psychiatric patients treated in "coffee groups," a maintenance treatment approach first described in a pilot study in 1976. Their findings show a significant drop in rehospitalization rates for chronic schizophrenic patients after they had started to attend the group, despite irregular patterns of participation and attendance. There was a leveling off of measurable change in psychosocial functioning in contrast to earlier optimistic reports. The coffee group formula has proved to be economical and is viable for a wide chronic diagnostic range and for a variety of therapists' styles.

Background: The consumption of coffee as a beverage and honey as a sweetener is prevalent worldwide, with each having potential health implications. However, studies on the combined effect of coffee and honey on blood pressure, heart rate, and blood glucose level are lacking.
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine whether a three-day consumption of honey- sweetened coffee will significantly alter the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and fasting blood glucose (BG) levels in young, healthy female adults.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess color matching post-repair using the same or different single-shade composites of three distinct composite resin materials (Omnichroma-OM, ZenChroma-ZC, and Charisma Topaz One-CTO) following aging in coffee solution and distilled water. Evaluation focused on color change parameters (∆E00, ∆L00, ∆C00, and ∆H00).
Methods And Materials: Specimens were prepared in disk shape with a diameter of 8 mm and a height of 2 mm (n=180).
Immunoexpression of aortic endothelial P-selectin and serum apolipoprotein A-1 levels after administration of arabica () and robusta () coffee bean extracts: In vivo study in atherosclerosis rat model.

Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease-related death worldwide. Some studies suggested that the natural ingredients in coffee may negatively affect cardiovascular diseases, while other studies indicated that coffee contains anti-inflammatory compounds that are beneficial for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to measure the expression of P-selectin in aortic endothelial cells and the level of serum apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) in an atherosclerosis rat model after the administration of arabica and robusta coffee bean extracts at mild-moderate and high doses.

Background: Observational studies have suggested associations between amount of coffee consumption and decreased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. However, these studies do not consider differences among coffee types, including sweetened, unsweetened, caffeinated, and decaffeinated varieties.
Objectives: This study aims to identify associations between the consumption of various coffee types (sugar-sweetened, artificially sweetened, unsweetened, caffeinated, and decaffeinated) and risks of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), along with related mortality.
