Abstract

Background

Alcohol presents risks to the health of older adults at levels that may have been ‘safer’ earlier in life. Moderate drinking is associated with some health benefits, and can play a positive role in older people’s social lives. To support healthy ageing, we must understand older people’s views with regards to their drinking. This study aims to synthesise qualitative evidence exploring the perceptions and experiences of alcohol use by adults aged 50 years and over.

Methods

A pre-specified search strategy was applied to Medline, PsychINFO, Scopus, Applied Social...

Baclofen as a Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder

JOSE OSCAR TARAZONA LA TORRE - Sex, 25/01/2019 - 22:45

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a brain disorder associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Baclofen, a selective gamma-aminobutyric acid-B (GABAB) receptor agonist, has emerged as a promising drug for AUD. The use of this drug remains controversial, in part due to uncertainty regarding dosing and efficacy, alongside concerns about safety. The maintenance dose varies widely from 30 to more than 300 mg/day. Baclofen may be particularly advantageous in those with liver disease, due to its limited hepatic metabolism and safe profile in this population. Patients should be...

Irving A, Goodacre S, Blake J, et al Managing alcohol-related attendances in emergency care: can diversion to bespoke services lessen the burden? Emerg Med J 2018;35:79-82.

Abstract

Acute alcohol intoxication (AAI) has a long history of burdening emergency care services. Healthcare systems around the world have explored a variety of different services that divert AAI away from EDs to better manage their condition. Little formal evaluation has been undertaken, particularly in the UK where alcohol misuse is one of the highest in the world. In this article, we outline a brief history of diversionary services, introduce the concept of Alcohol Intoxication Management Services (AIMS) and describe examples of AIMS in the UK. We then describe Evaluating the Diversion...

Alcohol y enfermedades cardiacas

Jose Luis Vazquez Martinez - Seg, 14/01/2019 - 15:33

En enero de 2017, Isaac Whitman y un grupo de investigadores reportaron que, en el estudio que hicieron con más de 14 millones de personas, el consumo problemático de alcohol es un factor de riesgo evitable para:

  • infarto al miocardio
  • falla cardiaca congestiva
  • fibrilación auricular

 

Esta investigación aporta evidencia contra los supuestos “beneficios” del consumo de alcohol para la salud cardiovascular.

Exercise role in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders

Jose Luis Vazquez Martinez - Sex, 28/12/2018 - 14:36

Nowadays there is some evidence available that points out that physical activity/exercise can be beneficial in the treatment of alcohol use disorders (AUD) and its comorbidities, like anxiety and depression. This beneficial effect is very important to consider, particularly because current treatment options of AUD are effective for some but not all patients and many experience relapses.

On August 28, 2017, Mats Hallgren and a group of researchers published the article “More Reasons to Move: Excercise in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders”. After reviewing the available evidence from...
