The association between single and dual use of cannabis and alcohol and driving under the influence and riding with an impaired driver in a large sample of Canadian adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights that all students, regardless of substance use, are at risk of IDR, but students engaged in dual use of alcohol and cannabis face an elevated risk compared to both peers who do not use substances and those who use only a single substance. These findings emphasize the importance of targeted interventions that address the risks associated with IDR.PMID:38656911 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2342571 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy by women from southern Brazil: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol intake during pregnancy is common and affects nearly one-third of pregnant women. Knowledge of the population at risk and protective factors is essential for the development of campaigns that seek to reduce consumption and, therefore, its consequences for the mother and fetus.PMID:38655982 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2023.0186.R1.08022024 (Source: Sao Paulo Medical Journal)

Blood Pressure Control and Associated Factors among Hypertension Comorbid Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Southeast Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: Uncontrolled hypertension was found to be high among hypertension comorbid type 2 diabetic patients. Patients' adherence to antihypertensive medication, physical activity, and alcohol abstinence should be maximized. Loss of weight is also crucial, as is the early detection and management of comorbidities.PMID:38655153 | PMC:PMC11039015 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6668436 (Source: International Journal of Hypertension)

Survival and mortality profile among people living with HIV in a cohort in the Northeastern region of Brazil
This study aimed to estimate the survival and causes of death according to age group and sex among PLHIV monitored at two referral centers in the Northeastern Brazil. This is a prospective, retrospective cohort with death records from 2007 to 2018, based on a database that registers causes of death using the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10), which were subsequently coded following the Coding Causes of Death in HIV (CoDe). A total of 2,359 PLHIV participated in the study, with 63.2% being men, with a follow-up period of 13.9 years. Annual mortality rate was 1.46 deaths per 100 PLHIV (95% CI: 1.33 - 1.60) wit...

Magnitude of Thrombocytopenia and Associated Factors among Pregnant Women Attending the Antenatal Care Service Unit of Wachemo University Nigist Ellen Mohammed Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Hosanna, Southern Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: The magnitude of thrombocytopenia in this study was 14.8%. Rural residence, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and anemia were significantly associated with thrombocytopenia. Therefore, the platelet count should be routinely determined during antenatal care visits for proper diagnosis and to minimize bleeding during and/or after childbirth.PMID:38655566 | PMC:PMC11039013 | DOI:10.1155/2024/8163447 (Source: Advances in Hematology)

PCSK9 inhibition attenuates alcohol-associated neuronal oxidative stress and cellular injury
This study aimed to assess the effects of alirocumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9 to lower systemic low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), on central nervous system (CNS) pathology in a rat model of chronic alcohol exposure. Alirocumab (50 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered weekly for six weeks in 32 male rats subjected to a 35 % ethanol liquid diet or a control liquid diet (n = 8 per group). The study evaluated PCSK9 expression, LDL receptor (LDLR) expression, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammatory markers in brain tissues. Chronic ethanol exposure increased PCSK9 expression in the brain, while alirocumab...
