The Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on the Rat Mesocorticolimbic Pathway: Role of mGluR5 Receptors and Interaction with Ethanol
2021
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a prodrug that is marketed as a mucolytic agent and used for the treatment of acetaminophen overdose. Over the last few decades, evidence has been gathered that suggests the potential use of NAC as a new pharmacotherapy for alcohol use disorder (AUD), although its mechanism of action is already being debated. In this paper, we set out to assess both the potential involvement of the glutamate metabotropic receptors (mGluR) in the possible dual effect of NAC administered at two different doses and NAC’s effect on ethanol-induced activation. To this aim, 30 or 120 mg/kg of NAC was intraperitoneally administered to rats with the presence or absence of the negative allo…
Physiological and Psychological Effects of a High Dose of Alcohol in Young Men and Women
2014
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a high dose of alcohol on physiological and psychological parameters in young men and women with a previous history of alcohol consumption. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, state anxiety, attention, time estimation and manual dexterity were registered before (phase 1) and after (phase 2) intake of alcohol (38.4 g) or a non-alcoholic beverage. Trait anxiety was registered in phase 2 only. The results showed that acute consumption of a high dose of alcohol: i) improves attention in men (although the performance of alcohol consumers was not better than that of non-consumers); ii) blocks the systolic blood pressure hab…
Forms and functions of Hundertwasser's writings
2018
The research focuses on the abundant writing of Hundertwasser and its place in the positioning of this actor of artistic renewal. He is recognized for his singular "work-life", since, aiming to upset society, he has expanded his field, from painting to ecology, via architecture. Starting from the geohistorical context, from the pictorial background of the beginning of the 20th century, the theories of 20th-century German scientists and "prophets" and the emergence of environmental movements, it is a question of studying the many poems, stories, speeches, manifestos, interventions in the media and comments, where Hundertwasser exposes and develops his convictions. The aim is to show that the…

Bipolar disorder comorbid with alcohol use disorder: focus on neurocognitive correlates
2015
Bipolar disorder (BD) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are usually comorbid, and both have been associated with significant neurocognitive impairment. Patients with the BD-AUD comorbidity (dual diagnosis) may have more severe neurocognitive deficits than those with a single diagnosis, but there is paucity of research in this area. To explore this hypothesis more thoroughly, we carried out a systematic literature review through January 2015. Eight studies have examined the effect of AUDs on the neurocognitive functioning of BD patients. Most studies found that BD patients with current or past history of comorbid AUDs show more severe impairments, especially in verbal memory and executive cog…
AUDIT, AUDIT-C y AR2I para evaluar el Binge Drinking en universitarios españoles
2020
La identificación de los jóvenes que realizan un consumo intensivo de alcohol (CIA) es una prioridad en el ámbito de la prevención e intervención, dadas las consecuencias bio-psico-sociales que genera. Objetivo. Verificar qué versión del AUDIT constituye el instrumento de screening más adecuado en esta población, partiendo de una operacionalización más precisa del CIA. Método. Se ha realizado un muestreo de conveniencia en el que han participado 190 jóvenes consumidores de alcohol entre 18 y 22 años (73.7% mujeres), que cumplimentaron un autoregistro de consumo de alcohol, el AUDIT y AR2I. Resultados. El análisis de conglomerados por sexos muestra 5 grupos de jóvenes CIA, en función de la e…
Predictors of weekly alcohol drinking and alcoholrelated problems in binge-drinking undergraduates
2015
Texto en inglés e español Las importantes implicaciones que genera el consumo intensivo de alcohol entre los jóvenes justifican el interés por determinar qué factores predicen su aparición. Concretamente, en este estudio se analiza el papel de la personalidad y edad de inicio en el consumo de alcohol en la predicción del consumo semanal de alcohol, y de todas estas variables en la predicción del número de consecuencias asociadas al consumo en jóvenes universitarios. Se evalúan 213 consumidores intensivos de primer curso de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Todos ellos cumplimentaron un autoregistro de consumo, el BIS-11, el NEO-FFI y el IECI de consecuencias asociadas a la ingesta. Los …
Epistemologia empirista sense dogmes
1989
Josep Lluís Blasco critica en aquest article la concepció fonamentista del coneixement, d’arrel cartesiana i basada, sobretot, en el dogma empirista que afirma que els enunciats, als que classifica segons la dicotomia analític-sintètic, poden tenir confirmació o refutació aïlladament, en suposar un atomisme semàntic que defensa que tot enunciat amb significat és reductible a un enunciat sobre la experiència immediata. Per tal de realitzar la seua crítica, que té com a blanc principal l’empirisme tradicional, el Wittgenstein del Tractatus i el positivisme lògic, Blasco es basa en Quine, Tarsky i el segon Wittgenstein i defensa un holisme semàntic, ontològic i epistemològic. Segons el holisme…
L'euro à la lumière des théories monétaires holistes contemporaines
2008
The thesis begins by explaining, in a first part, the genealogy of a heterodox tradition called “holist monetary approach”, which refuses dichotomic theories and the classical conception of the veil of money. It shows the proximities of these positions with a tradition consisting in thinking money as a “total social fact” involving far more than the three usual economic functions attributed to money. Recent research works conducted in France around Aglietta and Orléan fit in with this tradition. The thesis also leans on theories developed in Keynes' wake, sharing with the “social fact” approaches a holist methodology. The latter involves a main focus on macroeconomic analysis, which is, in …
