Five postdoctoral research scientists and two associate research scientists who work in Columbia medical and dental school labs took home honors at this year’s Postdoctoral Research Symposium.
Ever since Type A personality was linked to cardiovascular disease in the 1950s, it’s been known that anger raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. Now a Columbia study may explain how.
Extended-release naltrexone initiated after just five to seven days of seeking treatment is more effective than starting treatment after the traditional interim stage of 10 to 15 days.
