The reason for higher rate of suicide and suicide attempts in comorbid subjects is uncertain. We explored clinical characteristics that may be associated with this increased suicidality. |

Drinking habits during follow-up were checked by inquiries to patients and relatives and by serial determination of ethanol in urine. At the end of the follo… |

Disulfiram treatment increases plasma and red blood cell acetaldehyde in abstine…

METHODS: The first part of the study included 23 subjects without biochemical or clinical evidence of chronic liver disease who were abstinent for 2 week… |

Panic response to lactate administration in alcoholic and nonalcoholic patients …
The authors administered lactate to 12 abstinent alcoholics with panic disorder, 10 nonalcoholic patients with panic disorder, and eight control subjects.
They found that the alcoholic patients had fewer panic attacks in response to lactate infusion than the nonalcoholic patients. This finding was not attributable to differences in baseline anxiety or the change in plasma chemical va… |
