UCLA life scientists identify drug that could aid treatment of anxiety disorders

Posted: Published on February 21st, 2013

Public release date: 20-Feb-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Stuart Wolpert swolpert@support.ucla.edu 310-206-0511 University of California - Los Angeles The drug scopolamine has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including nausea and motion sickness. A new study by UCLA life scientists suggests that it may also be useful in treating anxiety disorders. Researchers found that the drug can help boost the effectiveness of a common treatment for anxiety disorders known as exposure therapy. In exposure therapy, a subject with a phobia or anxiety is repeatedly exposed to the object or situation they fear, in a non-threatening setting. The goal of this treatment is to ultimately lessen and eliminate the fear in essence, make it "extinct." However, fear-extinction memories formed during this type of therapy tend to be weak because they are tied to the non-dangerous context. Subjects have a tendency to relapse when they again encounter the source of their anxiety in a different environment. "Extinction has one Achilles heel that at present has not quite been pierced namely, extinction learning is highly dependent on the environment or context in which it occurs," said Michael Fanselow, a UCLA professor of psychology and the senior author of … Continue reading →

York university's study into drugs work at prisons

Posted: Published on February 21st, 2013

York university's study into drugs work at prisons 8:56am Thursday 21st February 2013 in Education news New research led by the University of York will examine the success of work being done in a number of prisons to help prisoners recover from drug dependency. Drug recovery wings have been established in 11 prisons in England and Wales, including Askham Grange, near York, as dedicated areas designed to help prisoners give up their use of substances and prepare for social reintegration on release. The three-year study, which will include interviews with staff and prisoners, aims to assess what impact the wings have on prisoners drug or alcohol dependency and their impact on their re-offending. It will identify which wings are most successful and focus on therapeutic programmes and interventions which work best. Researchers will also collect information on the impact on prisons of having a wing focused on abstinence and recovery from drug and alcohol problems. The work is being done by researchers in the universitys Department of Health Sciences, in partnership with Centre for Drug Misuse Research in Glasgow and the University of Cambridge. Principal investigator Charlie Lloyd said: This important evaluation will compare the different approaches taken in selected … Continue reading →

"Sometimes It's Only You" - Simply Doper He was an alcoholic, with no money in his wallet, had a son and wife, a family I guess you could call it, happy at one point in life, but quickly fell apart, he spent most his nights getting wasted at a bar, coming home late, it's nothing new, one drink lead to two, then later leading to a few, forgetting your son is home alone waiting for you. That little boy is all you got, but you continue to let your liver rot, it's gotta stop, get your life straight, it's up to you to change your fate, cus death is coming for you at a fast rate, if you don't start today it just might be to late, but you pour another glass and continue to drink away. It's 3:38 your barely leavin the bar, keys in your hand trynna find the way to your car, you didn't park to far, so you should find it quick, once you do you quickly get inside of it and close the door let the engine roar, cruising past the liquor store, it's darker now then … Continue reading →
