  • LETTER TO THE EDITOR Pharmacological Treatment of Alcohol Hallucinosis
    2016
    Co-Authors: Michael Soyka
    Abstract:

    We read with interest and sympathy the recent paper of Aliyev and Aliyev (2008) reporting results of a double-blind placebo-controlled study in 40 patients with acute Alcohol hallucinosis indicating valproate to be effective in reducing verbal hallucina-tions. This is the first placebo-controlled study in this rare dis-order, a widely neglected subject of research. The pathophysi-ology of Alcohol hallucinosis is not clear (Soyka, 1995; Soyka et al., 2000a). There is no evidence for a common genetic ba-sis for Alcohol Psychosis and schizophrenia (Glass, 1989a). An impaired dopaminergic neurotransmission and hyperdopamin-ergic state has not been shown in Alcohol hallucinosis (Soyka et al. 2000b). Recent PET findings indicate a hypofunction of the thalamus in patientswith Alcohol Psychosis thatmay resolve on clinical improvement (Soyka et al., 2000, 2005; Kitabayashi et al., 2007). With respect to pharmacological treatment, no standard therapy has been established yet (Soyka et al., 2008). To date there are only a few predominant case series and re-ports, mostly uncited in the Aliyev paper, which may indi-cate a rather good prognosis in patients treated with neurolep-tics (Soyka et al., 1992, 1997, 2007; de Millas and Haasen, 2007). Therefore, it is surprising to read the results of this study. A few specific questions on this study raise some concern: 1. Epidemiology: There is broad consensus that Alcohol hallu-cinosis is a rare disorder (Tsuang et al., 1994). In the Psychi

  • mortality in Alcohol related diseases in sweden during 1971 80 in relation to occupation marital status and citizenship in 1970
    Scandinavian journal of social medicine, 1992
    Co-Authors: G Agren, A Romelsjo
    Abstract:

    A new Swedish population register, created by linking Census data to the Cause of Death Registry and covering over 99% of the population, has been used to study the relationship between occupational category, marital status and citizenship in 1970 and mortality in closely Alcohol-related diseases during 1971–1980 for the ages 25–64 years. Age-standardized rate ratios (SRR) have been computed for mortality in Alcoholism, Alcohol intoxication and Alcohol Psychosis (“AAA”) and in liver cirrhosis. SRR-values for both diagnose categories and both sexes were higher than average among not gainfully employed (SRR = 3.71 among males and SRR = 1.96 among females in 1976–80 for “AAA”), among employees in the service sector, engine-drivers and unskilled workers and increased in liver cirrhosis among artists and authors. Among females there were smaller variations in mortality for occupational groups than among males. The SRR-values showed a tendency to be higher in 1976–80 than in 1971–75, probably due to health-rela...

  • Socio-economic portrait and medical and demographic characteristics of the Arctic territories of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
    LLC Center for Information and Legal Support for the Development of the Arctic, 2021
    Co-Authors: Kovshov A.a., Novikova Yu.a., Fedorov V.n., Tikhonova N.a.
    Abstract:

    The regions of the Russian Arctic are experiencing significant difficulties in the implementation of state tasks to improve the living standards of the population, to provide them with quality goods and services due to the harsh natural and climatic conditions, complex logistics, as well as the uneven distribution of settlements. We analyzed the socio-economic indicators for 2007-2019, the incidence of the population with Alcohol dependence syndrome and active tuberculosis in the context of the territories of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. We discovered that in recent years there has been a steady trend towards a decrease in the resident population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) due to the migration outflow. In addition, there is a high proportion of the population with incomes below the subsistence level, a low ratio of per capita income to the subsistence level, insufficient provision of the population with doctors of all specialties, high unemployment rate, and the rural population is insufficiently provided with centralized cold water supply. Low socioeconomic status of residents contributes to an increase in health risk, which is indirectly manifested by an increased incidence of Alcoholism and Alcohol Psychosis, as well as tuberculosis. Organization of a set of measures aimed at creating new jobs and increasing real incomes, providing the population with high-quality drinking water and improving medical care should become an integral component of sustainable development of the Arctic regions
