BACKGROUND The mechanism of veisalgia cephalgia or hangover headache is unknown. Despite a lack of mechanistic studies, there are a number of theories positing congeners, dehydration, or the ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde as causes of hangover headache. METHODS We used a chronic headache model to examine how pure ethanol produces increased sensitivity for nociceptive behaviors in normally hy...

Anthropogenic perturbations impact aquatic systems causing wide-ranging responses, from assemblage restructuring to assemblage recovery. Previous studies indicate the duration and intensity of disturbances play a role in the dynamics of assemblage recovery. In August 2011, the Pearl River, United States, was subjected to a weak black liquor spill from a paper mill which resulted in substantial ...

de Groot et al. [1] reported that an increased fall risk from the use of psychotropic drugs was associated with impairments in postural control, which these drugs could induce [1]. The effects seem to be more pronounced when the half-life is longer [1]. Hangover effects on postural control (after 8 h of administration) were found mainly for benzodiazepines with an intermittent or long half-life...

AIMS To determine the incidence and covariates of hangover following a night of moderate alcohol consumption at a targeted breath alcohol level. DESIGN Data were combined from three randomized cross-over trials investigating the effects of heavy drinking on next-day performance. A total of 172 participants received either alcoholic beverage (mean=0.115 g% breath alcohol concentration) or plac...

was going to vomit and turned him on his side. Instead of vomit, however, froth, reddish in colour, began to pour from his mouth and nostrils, and he became cyanosed. The froth was cleared out of his mouth, but it refilled again immediately. We then drew him up the table and allowed his head to hangover the end, in order that the froth might run out, and his mouth was wiped out again and again....

AIM To investigate the effects of students' usual levels of alcohol consumption on aspects of mood and anxiety the following morning. METHODS Students were recruited who consumed their usual quantity of any type of alcoholic beverage in their chosen company and then completed assessments of the effects the following day. The timing of drinking was restricted to the period between 22:00 and 02...

Metaphysics is supposed to answer the question “What is the nature of things?”, or something like that. Before trying to answer this question we should ask a counterquestion: “What is meant by the nature in this context?” Indeed, we want to understand clearly the meaning of the question before getting involved in answering. In this paper we interpret the metaphysical quest from the vantage poin...

APPROXIMATION OF THE KEYNESIAN MULTIPLIER EMBEDDED IN GHH PREFERENCES. — In a model with GHH preferences, the labor wedge determines the local output multiplier with respect to demand shocks. This result was obtained by Auclert and Rognlie (2017), and in this appendix it is restated in the context of the current paper. To see why the labor wedge is important, note that holding rt+1 (controlled ...

Alcohol's positive and negative motivational effects are believed to be important influences on alcohol-seeking behavior and, therefore, key factors among the many and varied causes of alcohol abuse and dependence. Alcohol's positive effects, such as enhanced mood, and negative effects, such as hangover, are considered important factors in motivating drinkers to increase or decrease their drink...

Alcohol hangover is characterized by adverse physical and mental effects that occur the next morning after the intake of toxic doses of alcohol. One of the more relevant functional consequences of hangover is the cognitive and subjective impairment, which could be related to the high socioeconomic costs of alcohol consumption. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed the study of neurocognitive...
