Tol, Sergiy Bogdanov, Lena S. Andersen, Quincy Moore, Bayard Roberts, Helen A. Weiss, Soumya Singh, Melissa Neuman, Carl May, Daniela C. Fuhr

“…Methods CHANGE was developed in sequential steps: (1) identifying potential treatment strategies through a meta-review and Delphi survey with international experts; (2) in-depth interviews (IDIs) with key stakeholders from the study settings in Uganda and Ukraine; and (3) three consultative workshops with international experts and experts from Uganda and Ukraine to develop a theoretical framework for the intervention informed by outputs of the Delphi and IDIs. Results In the Delphi survey, experts reached agreement on the acceptability, feasibility and potential effectiveness of the following components: identify high-risk situations, problem solving skills, assessment, handling drinking urges, communication skills, pros and cons of drinking, and identifying high-risk situations. …”

β-Carboline Alkaloids and Essential Tremor: Exploring the Environmental Determinants of One of the Most Prevalent Neurological Diseases by Elan D. Louis, Wei Zheng

“…Studies of the mechanisms of this putative elevation of harmane in ET have explored the role of increased dietary consumption, finding weak evidence of increased exogenous intake in male ET cases, and other studies have found initial evidence that the elevated harmane in ET might be due to a hereditarily reduced capacity to metabolize harmane to harmine (7-methoxy-1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-β]-indole). …”

Evidence for spinal disinhibition as a pain-generating mechanism in fibromyalgia syndrome by Anne Marshall, Jamie Burgess, Andreas Goebel, Bernhard Frank, Uazman Alam, Andrew Marshall

“…We demonstrate for the first time that people with FMS show evidence of spinal disinhibition, which is most dominant in shorter duration of disease and may represent a putative mechanism of pain generation in FMS. Identifying people with impairment of central pain processing at an early stage may provide opportunities for targeted mechanistically directed interventions. …”
