Abstract: We explored the affective processing of patients with alcohol dependence to emotionally stimulating written words and pictures. The alcoholic group demonstrated dichotomous responses and was incapable of compromising in neutral conditions. The dichotomous response pattern and positivity offset differed between words and pictures in patients with alcohol dependence. (Source: Psychiatry Research)

This study compared outpatients (n=196) with PTSD versus PTSD+alcohol use disorders (AUD) on clinical measures.

Abstract: The study aimed to investigate the pattern of proverb comprehension impairment and its relationship to proverb familiarity and executive dysfunction in schizophrenia. To assess the specificity of the impairment pattern to schizophrenia, alcohol-dependent patients were included as a psychiatric comparison group, as deficits of executive function and theory of mind as well as dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex, which have been related to proverb comprehension difficulties, are common in both disorders. Twenty-four schizophrenia patients, 20 alcohol-dependent patients and 34 healthy controls were administered a mu...

Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Distinguishing clinical types of alcohol dependence according to Lesch's Typology was considered applicable in a high demanding Brazilian public outpatient service, in which the results were similar to those reported in studies realized in other countries. The application of this classification may provide significant changes in strategies for individualized approaches that may be of a great importance in the treatment of alcohol dependence. However, the therapeutic results of these changes will need to be evaluated in follow-up studies. (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Psiquiatria)

We report two patients with Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD). A 38-year-old male with chronic alcohol abuse developed acute onset cerebellar ataxia and altered sensorium. He was diagnosed to have acute form (Type II) of MBD. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed extensive lesions involving the corpus callosum in its entire extent and also bilateral corona radiata and centrum semiovale. Corpus callosum had heterogeneous signal changes with ring enhancement. Positron emission tomography scan demonstrated reduced cerebral glucose metabolism diffusely over both the cerebral hemispheres. The second patient was 55-year-old ma...

Conclusion
Although this study demonstrated a link between higher alcohol intake and reduced CHD risk, it is has several limitations. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that high levels of alcohol consumption lower the risk of CHD. People are advised not to exceed the recommended daily limits of 2-3 units a day for women and 3-4 units a day for men.
Importantly, the study did not take into account any other adverse effects of alcohol, such as the increased risk of liver disease, obesity, pancreatic diseases, certain cancers, possible addiction, depression, accidental injury or reduced judgement in social situations.

Abstract: Despite seat belt and alcohol legislation, craniofacial trauma still remains a common health problem and significant workload in many maxillofacial units. Although management has evolved considerably from “wiring teeth together”, complex fractures can still result in cosmetic and functional deformity. Today's challenge is to consistently restore patients back to their pre-injury form and function—but this is not always possible. Greater understanding and developments have significantly improved outcomes, although controversy still exists in some areas. This review outlines some of these topics. (Source: Injury)
