adolescents who fulfilled diagnostic criteria for caffeine dependence. These studies‚ which represent a series of case reports‚ demonstrate that a clinically meaningful caffeine dependence syndrome does exist. When individuals in the general population are surveyed about their caffeine use‚ a surprisingly large proportion endorse substance dependence criteria.

cell biology and Pathophysiology‚ cellular adaptation refers to changes made by a cell in response to adverse environmental changes.[1] The adaptation may be physiologic(al) (normal) or pathologic(al) (abnormal). Five major types of adaptation include atrophy‚ hypertrophy‚ hyperplasia‚ dysplasia‚ and metaplasia. Atrophy is a decrease in cell size. If enough cells in an organ atrophy the entire organ will decrease in size. Thymus atrophy during early human development (childhood) is an example of physiologic
