1The MOS-SF-36 presents good criteria for reliability and validity in alcohol-dependent patients.
2Conclusion: The present findings suggest that alcohol-dependent individuals may exhibit verbal processing decrements.
3We observed that alcohol-dependent patients displayed reduced intestinal fungal diversity and Candida overgrowth.
4Over two-thirds never or rarely treated alcohol-dependent patients with pharmacotherapy themselves.
5Background & objectives: Sexual dysfunctions have been reported in alcohol-dependent men.
6The results suggested that alcohol-dependent patients perceived their problems more as psychological than physical.
7Sleep loss, common in alcohol-dependent patients, causes an activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
8The remaining alcohol-dependent subjects were considered as resistant to alcohol.
9Methods: 274 alcohol-dependent patients who had been drinking heavily during the past month were included.
10The combination of CDT and an alcohol-related questionnaire was reliable for detecting alcohol-dependent patients preoperatively.
11Background: Stress-response biological systems are altered in alcohol-dependent individuals and are reported to predict future relapse.
12The main outcome measure was the difference in Leu7Pro allele frequencies between alcohol-dependent subjects and controls.
13Methods: The design was a population study comparing the Leu7Pro allele frequencies in alcohol-dependent subjects and controls.
14In particular, the alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) may provoke potentially life-threatening complications in alcohol-dependent patients.
15These findings suggest a lack of engagement of affective regulatory mechanisms during high-stress situations in alcohol-dependent men.
16Participants: Treatment-engaged alcohol-dependent individuals and healthy controls.
