Em mais uma notícia (aparentemente) improvável, antibióticos parecem poder ajudar em Stress Pós-Traumático (de que muitos militares sofrem):
Hope for troops as antibiotics show they could be 'exciting new treatment' for PTSD
Citando:
"While the UCL researchers acknowledge the nature of traumatic events makes it impractical to start people on antibiotics before they happen, they said the drugs could be used subsequently to lessen the “reconsolidation” of memories in the aftermath.
PTSD is thought to affect around one in three people who suffer a traumatic event, which can range from experience of war, a road accident or being diagnosed with a serious illness.
Between one in 20 and one in 25 UK veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars suffer from PTSD, according to the charity Combat Stress.
While this is similar to the rate in the general population, the complexity of the disorder tends to be far greater in former servicemen and women, and also occurs alongside aggravating problems such as pain or alcohol misuse."
