Many mental health and relationship experts believe the term is inherently flawed and reject its use for […]

Besides, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and myelin protein take part in the maintenance of plasticity of gray and white matter [65]. In alcohol-related brain damage, ethanol and its metabolites have the potential to disrupt glial physiology and neurobiology in gray and white matter. If this leads to an agglomeration of pro-inflammatory and neurotoxic mediators for a prolonged […]

Recent data do not support that nitrofurantoin and alcohol causes a disulfiram-like reaction or other adverse reactions/toxicities. Historical studies have suggested that alcohol use with nitrofurantoin resulted in a disulfiram-like reaction (40,–42). Likewise, a study found that alcohol did not cause a disulfiram-like reaction with nitrofurantoin in volunteers (44). Alcohol may adversely affect the PK […]

Dopamine-containing neurons in the NAc are activated by motivational stimuli, which encourage a person to perform or repeat […]

This study, however, did not control for PA levels and only assessed alcohol intake on a yes/no scale [42]. Moreover, whether a dieter should be able to manage moderate alcohol consumption depends on its contribution to their daily calorie intake. It is hard to stay on even a moderately low-calorie diet and eat enough protein, […]

Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor […]
