Long-term combination antiretroviral therapy is associated with the risk of coronary plaques in African Americans with HIV infection.

29 Sep 2009 The aim of the study was to assess whether long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with the risk of coronary plaques in HIV-infected cardiovascularly asymptomatic African Americans. Between August 2003 and December 2007, 176 ... Read more...

A neurocomputational model for cocaine addiction.

29 Sep 2009 Based on the dopamine hypotheses of cocaine addiction and the assumption of decrement of brain reward system sensitivity after long-term drug exposure, we propose a computational model for cocaine addiction. Utilizing average reward temporal ... Read more...

Effectiveness of community treatments for heroin and crack cocaine addiction in England: a prospective, in-treatment cohort study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Addiction to heroin and crack cocaine is debilitating and persistent, but such disorders are treatable. We present the first effectiveness study of the main community interventions for addiction to heroin and crack cocaine in England, ... Read more...
