The Associations among Perceived Courtesy Stigma, Health and Social Behaviours in Family Members and Friends of People Who Use Substances: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
Conclusions: The experience of courtesy stigma/discrimination was common in a sample of individual's who support a loved one with alcohol or substance use disorder. These experiences are associated with changes in health and social behaviors and may lead to a poorer quality of care.PMID:38629645 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2340971 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Merging High-Pressure Syngas Metal Catalysis and Biocatalysis in Tandem One-Pot Processes for the Synthesis of Non-chiral and Chiral Alcohols from Alkenes in Water
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Apr 17:e202401989. doi: 10.1002/anie.202401989. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile simultaneously proceeding reactions are among the most fascinating features of biosynthesis, this concept of tandem processes also offers high potential in the chemical industry in terms of less waste production and improved process efficiency and sustainability. Although examples of one-pot chemoenzymatic syntheses exist, the combination of completely different reaction types is rare. In this work, we demonstrate that extreme "antipodes" of the "worlds of catalysis" such as syngas-based high-pressure hydroformy...

Co-Immobilization of ADH and GDH on Metal-organic-framework: An Effective Biocatalyst for Asymmetric Reduction of Ketones
Chembiochem. 2024 Apr 17:e202400147. doi: 10.1002/cbic.202400147. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChiral alcohols are not only important building blocks of various bioactive natural compounds and pharmaceuticals, but can serve as synthetic precursors for other valuable organic chemicals, thus the synthesis of these products is of great importance. Bio-catalysis represents one effective way to obtain these molecules, however, the weak stability and high cost of enzymes often hinder its broad application. In this work, we designed a biological nanoreactor by embedding alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has replaced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, given that MASLD requires at least one cardiometabolic risk factor, questions were raised as to whether new evidence would need to be generated for MASLD. In this issue, Younossi and coworkers compared the clinical profile and outcomes of NAFLD to MASLD using a tertiary-care NAFLD database and NHANES-III. Ninety-nine percent of included patients met MASLD criteria while 95% met MASLD criteria on BMI only. (Source: Journal of Hepatology)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1530: Colorectal Cancer: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Prevention
zadeh
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. There are disparities in the epidemiology of CRC across different populations, most probably due to differences in exposure to lifestyle and environmental factors related to CRC. Prevention is the most effective method for controlling CRC. Primary prevention includes determining and avoiding modifiable risk factors (e.g., alcohol consumption, smoking, and dietary factors) as well as increasing protective factors (e.g., physical activity, aspirin). Further studies, especially randomized, controll...

Generic Drug Combination Cuts Drinking in Adults With Severe Alcohol Use Disorder
Adults with severe alcohol use disorder (AUD) who took a combination of a generic antihypertensive and antihistamine reduced their daily alcohol consumption by about 24 grams —nearly the amount in two standard drinks—over those taking a placebo, according to areport inAddiction.“Considering the small number of approved medications and current limited use of pharmacotherapy for AUD, all with limited-to-moderate efficacy, patients with AUD as well as their physicians [need] additional treatments,” wrote lead author Henri-Jean Aubin of the Université Paris-Saclay in Vill ejuif, France, and colleagues.Aubin and collea...

Breaking Highly Ordered PtPbBi Intermetallic with Disordered Amorphous Phase for Boosting Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution and Alcohol Oxidation
In this study, we report the synthesis of ultrathin A/IMC PtPbBi nanosheets (NSs) for boosting hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and alcohol oxidation reactions. The resulting A/IMC PtPbBi NSs exhibit a remarkably low overpotential of only 25 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the HER in an acidic electrolyte, together with outstanding stability for 100 h. In addition, the PtPbBi NSs show high mass activities for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), which are 13.2 and 14.5 times higher than those of commercial Pt/C, respectively. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the synergistic e...
