Alcohol cravings and anxiety do not increase with repeat detoxification
People with alcohol problems have no greater anxiety or cravings after the second, third or fourth detoxification than the first, according to a new study by experimental psychologists at the University of Sussex. Previous studies have shown that the risk of seizures can increase with subsequent detoxifications due to the effects of withdrawal... view more... (2002-06-14)
Alcohol increases rectal cancer risk, but risk is smaller among regular wine drinkers
Regular drinkers significantly increase their risk of rectal cancer, but that risk is reduced if wine makes up a third or more of weekly consumption, suggests research in Gut. The findings are based on a population study of over 29,000 Danish men and women aged between 23 and 95. Their weekly intake of beer, wine, and spirits was assessed, as were... view more...

Gene-on-gene interactions may influence risk for developing alcoholism
Not only do both genes and environment have an impact on the development of alcohol-use disorders, but now researchers have found that certain genes may influence scientists' ability to interpret other genes' effects. One variant of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene - the ADH1B genotype - appears to be able to influence level of response (LR)... view more... (2006-08-28)
Real-time MRI helps doctors assess beating heart in fetus
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can provide real-time measurements of volume in a fetal heart, and may better enable physicians to plan care for infants with heart defects, according to a new study. view more (2005-09-30)
Obesity-related hormone is higher in children with Down syndrome
Children with Down syndrome are more likely than their unaffected siblings to have higher levels of a hormone associated with obesity, according to pediatric researchers. view more (2007-10-29)
Nature press release on DiGeorge syndrome paper
[410097] LIFELINES: CATCH 22 (pp97–101) In the 1 March issue of Nature, researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Texas pinpoint the gene behind one of the most common genetic diseases to affect humans: DiGeorge syndrome. The disease results in a broad spectrum of symptoms, including heart abnormalities, disruption of the immune system... view more... (2001-02-23)
Gulf War Syndrome triggered by smells of war
The persistent symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome in the home years later could well be due to a sickness response to the body's immune system being conditioned to the smells, tastes and sounds of war. view more (1998-12-03)
Molecule links Down syndrome to Alzheimer's
Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have identified a molecule that could be targeted to treat the cognitive impairment in people with Down syndrome. view more (2005-12-06)
Fetal cell 'transplant' could be a hidden link between childbirth and reduced risk of breast cancer
Some benefits of motherhood are intangible, but one has been validated through biostatistical research: women who bear children have a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. view more (2007-10-03)
Possible genetic basis for alcohol abuse discovered
Alcoholism seems to have its roots at least partly in the genes. How genetic factors contribute to alcohol abuse is still an important question to be solved. There are hints that the body produces an opiate-active compound that may enhance alcohol addiction. New studies at the University of Bonn suggest that a gene is at least partly responsible... view more... (2001-04-18)
Time for co-ordinated action on alcohol (p 1001)
This week's editorial discusses the current approaches in tackling the public-health impact of excessive alcohol consumption (especially in the UK), and concludes that enhanced awareness and training of primary-care professionals will be vital in managing future alcohol problems. The editorial comments: 'In the UK, the Government's strategy is to... view more... (2004-03-24)
Women, Drinking to Their Health
Women see a slightly higher health benefit over men from alcohol consumption according to twelve separate studies reviewed in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. However, more studies are needed to determine if there are more significant results from either wine, other spirits or beer. view more (2005-01-31)
Older adults more impaired by social drinking
Older adults may be more affected by a couple of glasses of wine than their younger counterparts are -- yet they are less likely to be aware of it, a new study suggests. view more (2009-03-05)
U-M team identifies gene that regulates blood-forming fetal stem cells
In the rancorous public debate over federal research funding, stem cells are generally assigned to one of two categories: embryonic or adult. view more (2007-07-27)
Tis the season to be jolly?
As the party season approaches, a timely reminder of the issues surrounding the binge drinking culture are again highlighted by research into 'young people and alcohol' a team lead by Professor Christine Griffin, at the University of Bath. The research, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) suggests several considerations for... view more... (2008-12-30)

Scientists call for ban on alcohol-industry sponsorship of sport
The alcohol industry's sponsorship of sport should be banned and replaced with a dedicated alcohol tax modelled on those employed by some countries for tobacco, say scientists. view more (2009-11-10)
