Chronic alcohol-induced long-lasting working memory deficits are associated with altered histone H3K9 dimethylation in the prefrontal cortex

IntroductionEpigenetic modifications have emerged as key contributors to the enduring behavioral, molecular and epigenetic neuroadaptations during withdrawal from chronic alcohol exposure.The present study investigated the long-term consequences of chronic alcohol exposure on spatial working memory (WM) and associated changes of transcriptionally r

The use of standardized management protocols for critically ill patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: a protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Caring for patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) presents unique challenges, due in part to the severity of the underlying insult, competing systemic injuries, and unpredictable clinical course.Even when management occurs in dedicated critical care settings, treatment uncertainty often persists, and morbidity and mortality
