Clinical management of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome

Ed Day et al.

Summary: This clinical review discusses key elements of the clinical management of medically assisted withdrawal (MAW) for alcohol use disorder, including necessary adjustments for pregnancy and older adults, likely outcomes, factors that might prevent completion of the MAW process, and ways of overcoming barriers to ongoing treatment. The review also covers the use of benzodiazepines in MAW, highlighting potential risks despite clear evidence of their efficacy. Strategies for anti-glutamatergic approaches in MAW and other potential treatment innovations are also considered due to their role in alcohol withdrawal.

Sodium acamprosate and calcium exert additive effects on nucleus accumbens dopamine in the rat

Karin Ademar et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that both N-acetylhomotaurine and the calcium moiety of acamprosate can increase dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens, and the combination of these two components has a better effect.

Characterization of motor function in mice developmentally exposed to ethanol using the Catwalk system: Comparison with the triple horizontal bar and rotarod tests

Belkis Jacquez et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that neonatal ethanol exposure in mice results in mixed effects on motor function during adolescence. While the Catwalk test suggests preserved gait, the triple horizontal bar test reveals deficits in motor strength, and the rotarod test indicates an increase in motor coordination.

Long-Range GABAergic Inhibition Modulates Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Output Neurons in the Olfactory Bulb

Pablo S. Villar et al.

Summary: This study reveals that GABAergic inputs from the basal forebrain play a crucial role in modulating local circuitry and influencing the activity of mitral/tufted cells in the olfactory bulb. These inputs lead to rapid disinhibition of mitral/tufted cells, impacting their response precision to stimuli and local oscillations in a layer-specific manner.

Pharmacotherapies for the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders During Pregnancy: Time to Reconsider?

Erin Kelty et al.

Summary: The use of medications for pregnant women with alcohol use disorder is rare due to lack of safety data. There is little published evidence to support the safety of medications for AUD in pregnancy, but from available research, acamprosate and naltrexone do not appear to have significant fetal risks. More research is needed to confirm the safety of using these medications during pregnancy.
