City facing an epidemic of urban violence
In Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is providing assistance to vulnerable people who face extreme levels of violence and lack access to healthcare. At first glance, the streets of Tegucigalpa seem calm. However, Honduras's homicide rate is the highest in the world. This frightening statistic is largely due to drug trafficking. Most of the cocaine consumed in the United States is transported through this region. Gangs involved in the drug trade extort businesses, terrorize the population and engage in vicious turf wars. MSF is providing medical care to the victims of this "epidem...

Moderate Alcohol Consumption And Breast Cancer - A Complex Association
An excellent review article from two scientists at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in the USA to be published in Alcohol Clin Exp Res 2012, describes the epidemiologic and basic scientific evidence linking alcohol consumption to the risk of breast cancer. The authors point out deficiencies in the epidemiologic data, especially that the pattern of drinking (regular moderate versus binge drinking) has generally not been taken into consideration, important given that binge drinking is associated with much higher blood alcohol concentrations and acetaldehyde accumulation...

12-Step Programs for Addiction Not For Everyone
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its sister program, Narcotics Anonymous (NA), have been considered the standard treatment for recovering addicts since their inception. AA, founded by Bill Wilson and William Griffith, is based on the 12 steps, first published in 1938. Narcotics Anonymous was founded in 1982 and follows similar principles. An estimated 23 million Americans struggle with addiction. Many of these addicts seek AA or NA as part of their road to recovery. A number of rehabilitation centers focus on the 12 steps and urge those in recovery to continue attending meetings on a regular basis to maintain their hard-earne...

Brain Mechanisms Identified That Regulate Cocaine-Seeking Behavior
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) have identified mechanisms in the brain responsible for regulating cocaine-seeking behavior, providing an avenue for drug development that could greatly reduce the high relapse rate in cocaine addiction. The research reveals that stimulation of certain brain receptors promotes inhibition of cocaine-associated memories, helping addicts to stop drug use. This inhibition is achieved through enhancing a process called "extinction learning," in which cocaine-associated memories are replaced with associations that have no drug "reward...
