However, buprenorphine withdrawal has its own withdrawal symptoms that in many cases can be as severe as symptoms of opioid withdrawal.

The investigation of the role of semaphorin proteins in the nervous system has established them as chemorepellents of axons. Recent studies have identified the semaphorin proteins on the surface of cells in the immune system and in the genomes of two lytic viruses. These strongly suggest the possible involvement of the semaphorin proteins in the immune system. This study aims to understand the expression patterns of four semaphorin genes, Sema3B, Sema4A, Sema4F, and Sema6C in the lymphoid tissues of wild type mice. These proteins were chosen to represent the three subfamilies III, IV, and VI. The first family contains secreted proteins which have immunoglobulin domains (III), the second contains transmembrane proteins which have immunoglobulin domains (IV), and the third contains transmembrane proteins which do not have ...

Research paper thumbnail of Military Sexual Trauma During Deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan: Prevalence, Readjustment, and Gender Differences

A diverse sample of 470 (408 men and 62 women) completed anonymous self-report questionnaires. Seventy-seven reported MST: 51 (12.5%) men and 26 (42%) women. MST was significantly related to symptoms and readjustment and most strongly with intimacy problems. Of those with MST, 73% also reported exposure to war-related stressors. Gender differences revealed that women reported a higher prevalence of MST, but men were more likely to endorse MST with multiple war-related stressors. However, no gender differences were found on reports of symptoms, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or readjustment. Implications of these results are discussed.
