Article Abstract

Background: In liaison psychiatry, issues related to multiple substance use disorders are encountered, but systematic assessment and treatment protocols are lacking. The implementation of psychoeducation groups with earlier access could be one solution, but it raises the question of how to systematically approach psychoeducation for multiple substance use disorders.

Subject And Method: Based on a narrative review of multiple substance use disorders in liaison psychiatry and the proposed treatments, we aimed to identify the possible systematisation of standardised psychoeducation.

Results: The triadic model of interoception-impulsivity-addiction emerged as a general approach to addressing addiction issues and could serve as a foundation for the standardisation of psychoeducation.

Conclusion: Prospective studies on the impact of systematised brief psychoeducational interventions on multiple substance use disorders in the patient treatment plan are to be developed.

Glutamate is an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. Among the receptors that glutamate interacts with is metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor 2, a Gα-coupled receptor. These receptors are primarily located on glutamatergic nerve terminals and act as presynaptic autoreceptors to produce feedback inhibition of glutamate release.

The aim of this case study is to illustrate the benefits of clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have incomplete bladder emptying. People with MS usually start to experience bladder symptoms 6-8 years after diagnosis, although some individuals experience symptoms from the time of diagnosis. MS is a condition of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord; the immune system attacks myelin, a substance that protects the nerve fibres, preventing messages travelling smoothly along the fibres to control the whole body, which includes the nerves that control the bladder.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands among the most toxic naturally occurring substances, with its acute toxicity characterized by the induction of acute hepatic necrosis, hemorrhage, and even fatal outcomes, thereby posing a profound threat to human health. Contamination of AFB1 in food commodities can arise at multiple stages throughout the production cycle, including cultivation, storage, and processing. This contamination cascade permeates the entire food supply chain, encompassing primary agricultural products as well as a diverse range of processed food items.
