Caffeine Dependence
Caffeine is a commonplace central nervous system stimulant drug which occurs in nature as part of the coffee, tea, yerba mate, cocoa and other plants. It is also an additive in many consumer products, most notably beverages advertised as energy drinks and colas.
Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: W031
Diagnosis: Caffeine Dependence
US Patients:
World Patients:
Sex Ratio:
Age Onset:
Brain Area: Use increases dopamine and norepinephrine
Symptoms: Stimulates reward system, but not enough to hijack it like cocaine.
Progression: Stimulating adnosine receptors induces tiredness & need to sleep;
Causes: Effects of coffee lessen and tolerance increases because the body makes more adenosine receptors.
Medications: None listed.
Therapies: Reduction in coffee to decaffinated coffee or teas. Reduce children’s soft-drink consumption.

- Translation and validation of the caffeine use disorder questionnaire in Arabicby Feten Fekih-Romdhane on November 19, 2024
CONCLUSION: Overall, findings suggest that the CUDQ is appropriate and suitable for use to measure CUD among Arabic-speaking adults from the general population. Making the CUDQ available in the Arabic language can fill a gap in the assessment of problematic caffeine consumption in Arab contexts. Future studies are required to further confirm the psychometric soundness of the Arabic CUDQ in more representative samples, specific populations and other Arab countries.
- Temperature-Sensitive Magnetic Resonance Probes: Leveraging Hyperpolarized Pyridine-2-Carbaldehyde and SABRE for Real-Time Temperature Sensingby Sein Min on November 14, 2024
In this study, we developed a novel approach for real-time, temperature-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements using signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE). We discovered that pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (A) exhibits different behavior depending on temperature, showing high hyperpolarization efficiency. In contrast, its reversible reaction product, the hemiacetal form (A'), is not affected by temperature. Exploiting this difference, we achieved a reliable polarization...
- Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Prepared from Camellia Sinensis Extracts in Multi-Drug Resistant Staphylococcus Aureusby Hawazen Salih on November 13, 2024
CONCLUSION: The methanolic and aqueous leaves extracts from Camellia sinensis are a successful method for producing CAgNPs. The synthesized CAgNPs also have significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus, depending on the concentrations, and inhibit S. aureus biofilm formation.
- Targeting protein aggregation using a cocoa-bean shell extract to reduce α-synuclein toxicity in models of Parkinson's diseaseby Farida Tripodi on November 11, 2024
Neurodegenerative diseases are among the major challenges in modern medicine, due to the progressive aging of the world population. Among these, Parkinson's disease (PD) affects 10 million people worldwide and is associated with the aggregation of the presynaptic protein α-synuclein (α-syn). Here we use two different PD models, yeast cells and neuroblastoma cells overexpressing α-syn, to investigate the protective effect of an extract from the cocoa shell, which is a by-product of the roasting...
