A 54-year-old Thai female with known alcoholic cirrhosis presented with chronic scaly eczematous patches and plaque for over 1 month. Initially, she was treated with oral antibiotics, but the lesions did not improve. The dermatologic examination and history of alcoholic cirrhosis were compatible with zinc deficiency. Moreover, copper deficiency was found together with zinc deficiency. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause zinc and copper co-deficiency. To avoid aggravated copper deficiency after zinc supplementation, copper and zinc were supplemented together in appropriate proportions. On the 2-week follow-up examination, her clinical outcome improved.

Abstract Context In 2020, the terminology of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was proposed to replace non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and incidence of MAFLD and evaluate its impacts on incident extrahepatic diseases. Methods A total of 6,873 subjects, with a 4.6-year follow-up, were included into this study. Associations of MAFLD and NAFLD with diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were examined using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Results The prevalence of NAFLD and MAFLD was 40.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 39.2-41.5) and 46.7% (95% CI 45.6-47.9), respectively. Additionally, 321 (4.7%) and 156 (2.3%) subjects had MAFLD with excessive alcohol consumption and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. During the follow-up period, the incidence of NAFLD and MAFLD was 22.7% (95% CI 21.3-24.0) and 27.0% (95% CI 25.5-28.4). MAFLD was associated with higher risks of incident diabetes (risk ratio [RR] 2.08, 95% CI 1.72-2.52), CKD (RR 1.64, 95% CI 1.39-1.94), and CVD (hazard ratio 1.44, 95% CI 1.15-1.81). Similar associations for NAFLD were observed. Furthermore, the MAFLD subgroups with excessive alcohol consumption (RR 2.49, 95% CI 1.64-3.78) and HBV infection (RR 1.98, 95% CI 1.11-3.52) were associated with higher risks of incident diabetes. Conclusions The change from NAFLD to MAFLD did not affect the associations with diabetes, CKD, and CVD much. MAFLD further identified those patients of metabolically fatty liver combined with excessive alcohol consumption and HBV infection, who had increased risks of incident diabetes compared with those of non-fatty liver.

BackgroundLongitudinal studies have been inconclusive in identifying alcohol as a risk factor for anxiety and depression.AimsTo examine whether excessive alcohol consumption is a risk factor for anxiety and depression in the general population, and whether anxiety and depression are risk factors for excessive alcohol consumption.MethodData were analysed from the 18-month follow-up of the Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adults Living in Private Households, 2000 survey.ResultsHazardous and dependent drinking were not associated with onset of anxiety and depression at follow-up. Binge-drinking was non-significantly associated with incident anxiety and depression (adjusted OR= 1.36, 95% CI 0.74–2.50). Abstainers were less likely to have new-onset anxiety and depression at follow-up. Anxiety and depression or sub-threshold symptoms at baseline were not associated with incident hazardous or binge-drinking at follow-up, but there was weak evidence linking sub-threshold symptoms with onset of alcohol dependence (adjusted OR=2.04, 95% CI 0.84–4.97).ConclusionsExcessive alcohol consumption was not associated with the onset of anxiety and depression but abstinence was associated with a lower risk. Sub-threshold symptoms were weakly associated with new-onset alcohol dependence.

: Background: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GTP) to assess the single and combined benefits of these biological markers for the detection of chronic excessive alcohol consumption in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. Methods: Biological markers were determined in blood samples from patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (drinking group, n = 35; nondrinking group, n = 81). The prediction accuracy of %CDT alone, γ-GTP alone, and their combination for the detection of excessive alcohol consumption was determined in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. Results: Serum total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-GTP, and alkaline phosphatase levels and %CDT were significantly higher and serum albumin levels were significantly lower in the drinking group than in the nondrinking group. The combination of %CDT and γ-GTP compared with %CDT or γ-GTP alone showed a higher prediction accuracy. The combination of %CDT and γ-GTP exhibited a higher specificity than γ-GTP alone. However, in terms of sensitivity, no significant difference was found between single or combined markers. Conclusions: The combination of %CDT and γ-GTP is considered a useful biomarker of chronic excessive alcohol consumption in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis.

The Cost

Background: Alcohol is a risk factor with serious consequences for society and individuals. This study aims to present methods and approaches that might be used to estimate the costs related to excessive alcohol consumption. It emphasizes the need for general methods and approaches that are easily applicable, because the level of digitalization and data availability vary across regions. The lack of data makes many methods inapplicable and useless. The ease of applicability will help to make cost-of-illness studies and their results comparable globally. Methods: This study is based on data from the Czech Republic in 2017. Drinking alcohol results in costs of healthcare, social care, law enforcement, and administrative costs of public authorities. To quantify the cost of drinking in the Czech Republic, the top-down approach, bottom-up approach, human capital approach and attributable fractions were used. Results: In 2017, the cost related to alcohol was estimated at 0.66% of the national GDP. Lost productivity represented 54.45% of total cost related to alcohol. All cost related to alcohol is considered to be avoidable. Conclusions: The methods and approaches applied to estimate the cost of disease or any other health issue should be generalized regarding the availability of data and specifics of provided services to people who are addicted or have any kind of disability.
