Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system regulation in recently detoxified alcoholics is not altered by one week of treatment with Acamprosate
TL;DR: It is concluded that 1 week of acamprosate treatment does not attenuate the HPA dysregulation ob-served during early abstinence, as well as having no effect on basal or CRH-stimulated ACTH or cortisol secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driving ability in schizophrenic patients: effects of neuroleptics.
TL;DR: The limited database indicates that most schizophrenic patients show significant impairment in cognitive functions relevant for driving ability compared to healthy controls, and there is some but limited evidence that patients under novel atypical neuroleptic treatment show less impairment compared to conventional neuroleptics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tramadol use and dependence in chronic noncancer pain patients.
TL;DR: Clinical characteristics of these patients with physical dependence of tramadol are given, indicating this to be a difficult patient group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low level of harm avoidance is associated with serotonin transporter functional haplotype in alcohol-dependent individuals.
TL;DR: An association between S/12 haplotype of SLC6A4 and low level of harm avoidance is indicated, which might indicate increased liability of serotonin-mediated, psychopathology-like anxiety and depression and may impair social skills reflected by harm avoidance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of irritability on craving before and after cue exposure in abstinent alcoholic inpatients: experimental data on subjective response and heart rate.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that induced craving in hospitalized alcohol addicts probably varies with the magnitude of their irritability; it might make patients more aware of their vulnerability to alcohol, help them develop more differential coping strategies and improve medical therapy against alcohol craving.
