The most prevailing theory, and now most commonly accepted, is called the Disease Model. Its basic tenets are that alcoholism is a disease with recognizable symptoms, causes, and methods of treatment. In addition, there are several stages of the disease which are often described as early, middle, late, treatment and relapse. While it is not essential to fully define these stages, it is useful to understand them in terms of how the disease presents itself. This series of articles describes the signs and symptoms of each stage as well as exploring treatment options. Early or Adaptive Stage Middle Stage Late Stage Treating Alcoholism Relapse to drinking 3 – The Late Stage of Alcoholism The late, o...

Fatty liver has for a long time know to potentially have its roots in the overconsumption of alcohol. However, increasingly doctors are seeing individuals who have fatty liver where alcohol does not appear to be the causative [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3691132 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 17:46:49 +0100 3691132 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2260341&cid=t_102171_134_f&fid=35137&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdiabetesupdate.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F03%2Fhow-to-reverse-fatty-liver.html Two recent studies have come up with some useful information about what it takes to reverse nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This is a condition where fat accumulates in the liver. It is often considered "benign"--that is not associated with any adverse health effects. But in rare cases it can lead to liver damage and, very rarely, this damage may lead to liver failure. Fatty liver disease is caused by--or found in association with--the taking of certain medications, gastric bypass surgery, high cholesterol, high levels of triglycerides in the blood, malnutrition, metabolic syndrome, obesity, rapid weight loss, toxins and chemicals, such as pesticides, Type 2 diabetes, and Wilson's disease.The drugs reported as causing fatty liver include total parenteral nutrition, methotrexate (Rheumatr...

In fact, its salutary effect on the heart and soul is mentioned in Proverbs of the Old Testament (“Wine makes the heart of Man rejoice”, or something like that).But the ancients also knew that drinking had to be done in moderation. The classical Greeks used to have “symposia” or dinner parties, in which the guests would recline on beds (“triclinium”) placed around the room, drink wine and discuss philosophical and political issues. After the discussion, a gastronomical feast would be served that could last into the wee hours of the night. How could they talk p...

Urocortin 3 plays a role in the increased production of insulin in response to high caloric intake in animals. Scientists found that by removing the urocortin 3 gene from mice, they did not develop the age-related insulin resistance and high blood sugar observed in the normal control mice. The metabolisms of normal mice were compared to the metabolisms of those without the urocortin 3 gene. When placed on a high caloric diet for three months, the mice without the urocortin 3 gene packed on the same amount of weight but had lower insulin levels. But these mice also had lower blood sugar, improved gluc... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=478744 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 04:00:00 +0100 478744
