Development of an Intervention to Reduce Heavy Drinking and Improve HIV Care Engagement Among Fisherfolk...

Alcohol Use DisorderHIV-infection/Aids

Fisherfolk are a high risk population for HIV and are prioritized to receive antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Uganda, but risky alcohol use among fisherfolk is a barrier to HIV care engagement; multilevel factors influence alcohol use and poor access to HIV care in fishing villages, including a lack of motivation, social support, access to savings accounts, and access to HIV clinics. This project aims to address these barriers, and subsequently reduce heavy alcohol use and increase engagement in HIV care, through an intervention in which counselors provide individual and group counseling to increase motivation, while also addressing structural barriers to care through increased opportunities for savings and increased social support. This may be a feasible approach to help this hard-to-reach population reduce drinking and increase access care, which could ultimately reduce mortality rates, improve treatment outcomes, and through its effect on HIV viral load, decrease the likelihood of transmitting HIV to others.

ObesitySmoking Cessation1 more

The "Gut Hormones in Addiction" study is a proof-of-concept experimental medicine human study to answer the following questions: Does the administration of the hormone desacyl ghrelin reduce core behavioural components of addiction in dependent individuals who have recently stopped smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol, or overweight/obese subjects? Does the administration of the drug Exenatide reduce core behavioural components of addiction in dependent individuals who have recently stopped smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol, or overweight/obese subjects? Does the administration of desacyl ghrelin or Exenatide reduce reward responses to high-calorie foods and appetite in dependent individuals who have recently stopped smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol, or overweight/obese subjects?

Disulfiram as a Modulator of Amyloid Precursor Protein-processing

Alcohol Addiction

A causal therapeutic approach for treatment of Alzheimer's disease has not been established so far. The protein ADAM10 represents a promising target for an A-beta peptide preventing strategy. Treatment of human neuronal cells with Disulfiram, a drug which is used in clinical routine for recrudescence prevention of alcohol dependency, revealed an increased expression of ADAM10. This finding indicates a neuroprotective potential of Disulfiram. The investigators' research purpose aims at the verification of the results obtained in cell culture experiments in the human organism. Therefore, include alcohol addicted patients were included, which take the drug Disulfiram for recrudescence prevention, in our study. Patients are recruited from the patient-collective of the University Medical Center Mainz and the Central Institute for Mental Health Mannheim. Blood samples (max. 5 ml) are taken from the participants before the intake of Disulfiram and about two weeks after treatment. Demographic data are collected (such as age or onset of addiction). Gene expression is analyzed via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) from blood cell-derived messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA).
