Hepatitis E: Still Waters Run Deep

Hepatitis E is an infectious inflammatory disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV), a single-stranded RNA virus. Today, it is estimated that there are more than 20 million HEV infections every year, leading to 3.3 million symptomatic cases and more than 56,000 deaths. For a long time it was believed that HEV was a travel-associated disease, endemic in developing countries with...

Still oxides run deep: studying redox transformations involving Fe and Mn oxides using selective isotope techniques

Reactions of aqueous Fe(II) with Fe and Mn oxides influence heavy metal mobility, transformation of trace organics, and important elemental cycles as Fe precipitates form or dissolve, and as electrons move between aqueous and solid phases. Our objective was to characterize reactions of Fe(II) with important metal oxides, using a suite of complementary tools to investigate the extent and underly...

Do Smooth Waters Run Deep? Alcohol Intoxication and the Effects of Water Consumption on Driving-Related Cognitions and Behavior

The present study tested the effect of the combined use of alcohol and water on driving-related cognitions and behavior. Seventy-four female students performed a driving simulator task after having consumed alcohol or a placebo. Additionally, half of the participants consumed 0.5 liter of water. It was hypothesized that combining alcohol and water could lead to an underestimated perceived intox...
