Loss of memory reportedly is minimal for "severe injuries", defined in the US as "injuries resulting in at least 1 bed day, 1 school loss day, surgery, or hospitalization" (Harel et al. 1994).
In a bit of synchronicity, I was on my book tour on International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day and found a survivor event in Seattle.
My book, And Then I Woke Up, "From Suicide to Success," is due to be released on November 21, International Survivors Of Suicide Loss Day 2015.
Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving (Nov. 22 this year), hundreds of cities across the country and around the world host International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day events, healing gatherings where family and friends who've been touched by suicide loss can come together to connect, share, and find comfort.
Further studies, with lower DSS concentrations, determined that PHIL-DSS mice developed significantly greater weight loss than WT-DSS mice in a time-dependent fashion (8.2% greater loss day 6, p<0.001; 5.9% greater loss day 7, p<0.01; 6.4% greater loss day 8, p<0.05; figure 2E).
PHIL-mice compared with WT-mice, experienced a greater rate of weight loss (7% greater loss day 2, p<0.05; 7% greater loss day 3, p<0.05), significantly shorter colon length (50 mm vs 61 mm, PHIL-TNBS vs WT-TNBS; p<0.001) and greater histological measure of disease (9.8 vs 3.5, PHIL-TNBS vs WT-TNBS; p<0.01) (see online supplementary figure S1).
