The proliferation of vaporization ('vaping') as a method for administering cannabis raises many the same public health issues being debated and investigated in relation to e-cigarettes (e-cigs). Good epidemiological data on prevalence vaping are not yet available, but with current trends towards societal approval medicinal recreational use cannabis, pros cons warrant study. As e-cigs, portends putative benefits by reducing harm from ingesting toxic smoke. Indeed, is perceived sold safer way...
Increases in self-reported craving and changes autonomic functioning are reliably elicited when smokers exposed to tobacco-related stimuli compared with neutral stimuli. However, few studies have reported the time course of cue-elicited or directly effectiveness smoking cues versus imagery evoke a response. In addition these two issues, we investigated influence tobacco deprivation sex on craving, mood, responses. Sixty cigarette (30 men, 30 women) were tested counterbalanced sessions, one...
Animal studies report abstinence from nicotine makes rewards less rewarding; however, the results of human tests effects cessation on reward sensitivity are mixed. The current study tested in abstinent smokers using more rigorous methods than most prior studies. A laboratory compared outcomes for 1 week to quitting those during 4 weeks postquit. used trying quit, objective and subjective measures, multiple measures smoking abstinence, monetary increase prevalence abstinence. Current daily (n...
Episodic future thinking (EFT), a brief intervention involving mental simulation of positive events, improves delay discounting (DD) in nicotine and alcohol dependent individuals. This study is the first to assess effects single-session, online episodic training (ET) on constructs that might impact cannabis use disorder. A sample 200 active users recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk were randomized an EFT group (n = 102) or recent control (ERT; n 98). novel specificity induction (ES) was...
While accumulating evidence suggests that people modified their smoking during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it remains unclear whether those most at risk for tobacco-related health disparities did so. The current study examined changes in among several vulnerable smoker populations pandemic. A web-based survey was distributed 2020 to 709 adults with socioeconomic disadvantage, affective disorders, or opioid use disorder who participated a previous investigating effects of very low nicotine...
Abstract Magnetoencephalography (MEG) was used to measure brain activity while participants performed a simple reaction targets after either random interval (uncued targets) or series of isochronous warning stimuli with 200‐ms intervals that acted as countdown. Targets could arrive “on time” “early” relative the preceding stimuli. Cerebellar before any stimulus onset predicted uncued time. Onset in somatomotor cortex target time two when arrived on early. After three stimuli, and certain...
Delay discounting is associated with problematic substance use and poorer treatment outcomes in adolescents adults disorders. Although some research has addressed delay among individuals cannabis disorders (CUDs), results have been equivocal, no study examined whether rates differ between adolescent adult users. The aim of this was to compare for CUD determine at intake or changes across differed age groups. Participants were 165 104 enrolled CUD. completed a task end 2 commodities (money...
BACKGROUND Trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children in United States, which pediatric nonaccidental trauma (pNAT) accounts more than 550,000 cases annually. To our knowledge, there have been no published mapping studies to specifically assess pNAT incidence or how geographic distributions influenced by COVID-19 pandemic. We performed a information system analysis evaluate longitudinal trends over 10 years creating hot spot model identify locations with high compare...
IN SITU hybridization with a cRNA probe was used to determine the cellular expression of mRNA for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) within rat dopaminergic nigrostriatal system. Hybridization EGF-R distributed throughout ventral mesencephalon cells substantia nigra pars compacta, and tegmental area (VTA). Unilateral lesion pathway neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine resulted in substantial elimination ipsilateral nigra, VTA. also demonstrated population striatal somata, highest levels...
