The present results expand the pharmacological profile of URB597 to include the potentiation of stress-coping behaviors in the TST and FST, two widely used screens for antidepressant drugs, and point to the dual regulation of 5-HT and NE neurotransmission as a possible neural substrate for these…

An unknown portion of women with substance use may have been identified by history or observation and were not in need of additional testing. Additionally, in…
The all-inclusive model was then reduced one variable at a time to determine the best prediction model
McFadden’s pseudo-R2 was also calculated, comparing each model to the null model. The predictors considered in the multivariate models were age, severity of illness measured by the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, cumulative dose amounts of both opioids and benzodiazepines from time of first administration to a WS assessment day, days on both opioids…
The report approvingly quoted a narcotics officer who claimed that “Marijuana has a worse effect than heroin
Our multiple-disciplinary approach, combining the PCR data with literary-historical analysis and AMS-based 14C dating of the textile samples, has enabled us to unearth this little known aspect of textile history e i.e. ancient hemp in the Land of Israel.Progress in the treatment of schizophrenia has been hindered by an inadequate understanding of the pathogenesis of…
The server component is also responsible for the storage of the collected information and the computation of derived scores
See Table 1 for all measures in the baseline and year 1 substance use module. Additional measures will likely be added starting at year 2 follow-up sessions.The first portion of the ABCD substance use protocol includes a brief introduction that operationalizes the term “drug use,” repeats that all answers are confidential, and then proceeds to ask…
