Proceeding of the 8th Alcohol Hangover Research Group Meeting

Abstract

Alcohol hangover is one of the most commonly experienced consequences of alcohol consumption. An alcohol hangover develops as the blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) approaches zero, and is characterized by a general feeling of misery. More insight into the pathology of an alcohol hangover needs to be gained, in order to enhance the understanding of the area, and as a potential contribution to the innovation of a preventative or hangover curing treatment. The Alcohol Hangover Research Group (AHRG) was founded to support the area of alcohol hangover. This proceeding describes the latest findings in the area of alcohol hangovers, and future research plans, discussed at the 8th Alcohol Hangover Research Group meeting, held on June 25, 2016, New Orleans, USA. Novel insight in potential causes, consequences, and treatment of alcohol hangover were revealed during the meeting, as well as further research plans to examine biomarkers of recent alcohol consumption, immune functioning, alcohol metabolism, and potential treatments.

Correction of psychological and neurological signs of alcohol hangover in rats with acetylcysteine

“…Похмелье -частое нежелательное явление, сопровождающее прием алкогольных напитков, который, несмотря на распространённость, редко входит в круг интересов медицинской науки. Есть несколько социальных и клинических негативных последствий, связанных с появлением похмелья, таких как экономические затраты, связанные с неэффективной работой или учебой [1,2].…”

“…Несмотря на большие социально-экономические издержки и затраты медицинских служб на терапию похмельного синдрома и его последствий, эта проблема пользуется относительно небольшим интересом среди исследователей, в результате этот крайне распространённый симптомокомплекс в своём патогенезе до сих пор имеет много необъясненных аспектов. Для улучшения методов его профилактики или фармакотерапии, необходимо более глубокое понимание патологических процессов, которые протекают в организме при развитии подобного состояния [1,2]. В настоящее время этот синдром определяется как общий дискомфорт, возникающий после полного метаболизма ранее принятого алкоголя (т.е.…”

Proceedings of the 10th Alcohol Hangover Research Group Meeting in Utrecht, The Netherlands

“…To support alcohol hangover related research, in 2010 the Alcohol Hangover Research Group (AHRG) was established to promote international research and collaboration, review and enhance methodological procedures and increase general knowledge of alcohol hangover. Up to now several AHRG meetings have been held to discuss the causes, consequences and treatment of the alcohol hangover [5][6][7][8][9]. The present proceedings provide a synopsis of the 10th AHRG meeting, held on 29 April 2018, in Utrecht, The Netherlands.…”

The Alcohol Hangover Research Group: Ten Years of Progress in Research on the Causes, Consequences, and Treatment of the Alcohol Hangover

“…The objectives of these meetings are to discuss recent findings and future research directions, to raise the profile of alcohol hangover research, and to start new research collaborations. Over the past 10 years, 11 successful AHRG meetings have been held across the world [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. In 2010, the first AHRG meeting was held as a satellite symposium of the Research Society on Alcoholism conference in San Antonio, Texas, USA.…”

“…Subsequent AHRG meetings were held in Paris in 2010 (France), Utrecht in 2011 (The Netherlands), Wolfville in 2012 (Canada), Keele in 2013 (UK), Bellevue in 2014 (USA), Perth in 2015 (Australia), New Orleans in 2016 (USA), Utrecht in 2017 (The Netherlands), Utrecht in 2018 (The Netherlands), and Wailoaloa Beach, Nadi in 2019 (Fiji). Proceedings of most of the AHRG meetings have been published [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”
