Do attentional Bias and Approach/Avoidance Tendencies Predict Relapse or Time to Relapse in Alcohol Dependency?
Although both AB and avoidance tendencies were present in our sample, these measures did not predict relapse or time to relapse in an outpatient alcohol-dependent sample in the following 3 months. Future research should focus on studying the predictive value of these biases in the short term, for example, using ecological momentary assessment techniques to assess implicit processes shortly before a relapse.
For the first time, we demonstrated that a preservative (0.005% BAK) significantly enhanced the antibacterial efficacy of an antibiotic (0.3% GAT) in an experimental rabbit model of intrastromal keratitis.
