INTRODUCTION Although withdrawal processes form a key motivational basis for cigarette use, smoking cessation treatments appear to exert only modest effects on withdrawal. One treatment option for further reducing withdrawal severity would be to provide smokers with withdrawal regulation training. The objective of this study was to pilot a smoking cessation intervention comprising withdrawal ex...

You ask a great question! When stopping certain medications you've been taking for a while, it's common to feel some withdrawal symptoms. Lexapro is a drug in the family of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and is often used to treat anxiety and depression. When folks on these types of medications feel it's time to stop, it's recommended that you speak with your health care provid...

previous reports showed that elevated levels of glucocorticoids following morphine withdrawal play an important role in memory impairment. in addition, glucocorticoid receptor (gr) inhibitors improved memory perfor-mance in morphine withdrawal mice. since mineralocorticoid receptor (mr) and grs complement each other, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of spironolactone on ...

Alcohol withdrawal is a common clinical condition that has a variety of complications and morbidities. The manifestations can range from mild agitation to withdrawal seizures and delirium tremens. The treatments for alcohol withdrawal include benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, beta-blockers and antihypertensives. Although benzodiazepines are presently a first-line therapy, there is controversy r...

in this work, the steady and laminar mixed convection of nanofluid in horizontal concentric annulus withrotating inner cylinder is investigated numerically. the inner and outer cylinders are kept at constanttemperature ti and to respectively, where ti>to. the annular space is filled with alumina-water nanofluid.the governing equations with the corresponded boundary conditions in the polar coord...

designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. a specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. there are generally three regi...

In the selective withdrawal experiment fluid is withdrawn through a tube with its tip suspended a distance S above an unperturbed two-fluid interface. At low withdrawal rates, Q, the interface forms a steady state hump and only the upper fluid is withdrawn. When Q is increased (or S decreased), the interface undergoes a transition so that the lower fluid is entrained with the upper one, forming...
