Cue Effects in Human Addiction: Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer
Individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) have to cope with drug-related cues and contexts, which can affect instrumental drug seeking as shown with Pavlovian to instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigms in animals and humans. The investigators aimed to investigate the impact of acute and chronic stress on Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT), how …
Role of Pavlovian Mechanisms for Control Over Substance Use
During the first funding period (1st FP), the investigators developed a novel full Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) task that allows assessing both, general and specific PIT to investigate whether specific PIT differs between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and control subjects. Preliminary analyses of the full transfer task indicate that AUD participants …
Improving Remote Breathalyzer Procedures Used by Clinicians and Researchers to Remotely Monitor Alcohol Use
Remote breath alcohol monitors have been increasingly adopted for use in clinical, research and forensic settings to monitor alcohol use because they offer several key advantages over other available monitoring methods. However, it remains unknown if remote breathalyzers reliably detect alcohol use because there is up to a 10-hour window …

We design the study with …
Role of Phosphatidylethanol in Predicting Perioperative Outcomes of Admitted Patients at UHCMC
This study aims to see if there's a link between a substance called phosphatidylethanol (PEth) and how patients who have surgery at University Hospitals do after surgery. PEth levels reflect the amount of alcohol use by someone over the past few weeks. This study is checking PEth levels on all …
Imaging Traumatic Stress and Alcohol Use Disorder With [18F]Bavarostat
The overall objective of this study it to use Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain imaging and a radiotracer that measures the epigenetic marker Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) to examine HDAC6 expression in people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), or concurrent PTSD and AUD with control groups. …
Translation and Validation of the COMM and ASI-SR
The goal of this observational study is to translate the COMM (Current opinion misuse measure) form and validate it using the ASI-SR (Addiction severity score-self report)in a Swedish population of pain patients treated with opioids. The secondary aim is to investigate acceptability of the instrument in a Swedish population of …
