Voice Parameter Changes in Smokers during Abstinence from Cigarette Smoking
This study aimed at establishing how vocal parameters change following a period of abstinence from cigarette smoking. The voices of 18 smokers were examined after one week and then one month of cigarette abstinence. Changes in several acoustic parameters (jitter, shimmer, harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR)) were analysed. During abstinence, jitter and shimmer decreased significantly, whereas HNR in...
متن کاملGlutamatergic Neurometabolites during Early Abstinence from Chronic Methamphetamine Abuse
BACKGROUND The acute phase of abstinence from methamphetamine abuse is critical for rehabilitation success. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has detected below-normal levels of glutamate+glutamine in anterior middle cingulate of chronic methamphetamine abusers during early abstinence, attributed to abstinence-induced downregulation of the glutamatergic systems in the brain. This study fur...

The effectiveness of this strategy depends on how illicit drug users respond to the rise in costs. The aim of the current study was to estimate how methamphetamine users would respond to changes in the prices of methamphetamine and heroin, using hypothetical drug purchasing ...

متن کاملThe Effects of Chronic Cigarette Smoking on Gray Matter Volume: Influence of Sex
Cigarette smoke contains nicotine and toxic chemicals and may cause significant neurochemical and anatomical brain changes. Voxel-based morphometry studies have examined the effects of smoking on the brain by comparing gray matter volume (GMV) in nicotine dependent individuals (NDs) to nonsmoking individuals with inconsistent results. Although sex differences in neural and behavioral features o...
