Drs. Mollie Monnig and Peter Monti have had an article titled Cerebral Metabolites on the Descending Limb of Acute Alcohol: A Premiliminary 1H MRS, accepted for publication in Alcohol and Alcoholism. Their study examined metabolic changes in the brain on the descending limb of blood alcohol concentration. Congratulations to both!

Dr. van den Berg and other Brown colleagues co-authored an article entitled "Open pilot trial of a brief motivational interviewing-based HIV PrEP intervention for MSM: Preliminary effects, and evidence of feasibility and acceptability" that was published in AIDS Care.

Dr. Molly Monnig, along with Dr. Peter Monti, and other co-authors, published an article linking alcohol use to inflammatory biomarkers in people living with HIV infection and HCV infection.

Congratulations to Dr. Trish Cioe who just had a publication in AIDS Care. Her team found that increased physical activity was not associated with reduced overall HIV symptom burden over time, but that participants with more physical activity had lower symptom burden at week 12. In addition, men reported lower symptom burden than women.

People who like to smoke when they drink may be at greater risk of suffering a hangover the next morning, according to a study by Damaris Rohsenow and Kristina Jackson of the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies.
