Alcoholism affects the pa­ tient's life in many ways and may induce various medical and psychiatric sequelae. Over the past few decades, there have been continued efforts to improve the treatment of alcoholics. Thus different psychotherapeutic ap­ proaches have been designed and applied to alcohol treatment. Follow-up studies have demonstrated alcohol treatment to be efficient, with a significant number of patients remaining abstinent. Still, even after long-term inpatient treatment, more than 50% of the patients relapse. Relapse prevention remains a major challenge in the treatment of alcohol­ ism. Various forms of relapse prevention including group therapy, individual psychotherapy with supportive or behavioral therapy, contingency contracting, and self-help groups have been advocated. All seem to be helpful in some cases and unsuccessful in a significant number of others. Apart from chemical aversion therapy, various psychopharmacological in­ terventions have been tried for relapse prevention, all with limited or no success. In recent years, our knowledge of the neurochemical and neurobio­ logical basis of alcoholism and craving for alcohol has increased significantly. The glutamatergic system has been a major focus, and acamprosate, a mod­ ulator of the glutamatergic system, is one of the most promising new phar­ macological agents used in relapse prevention of alcoholism. In September 1995, a satellite symposium was held prior to the ESBRA congress to evaluate and discuss preclinical and clinical studies conducted with acamprosate. The proceedings of this symposium are summarized in this book, which also contains some important new papers on the pharmacology and clinical efficacy of acamprosate. The editor feels that this book offers a comprehensive overview on the most important studies on acamprosate conducted so far. It is hoped that many patients will benefit from anticraving drugs such as acamprosate, and perhaps this agent will help improve the treatment outcome in alcoholic patients.

Academic Editor: Edgar Chambers IV Received: 14 October 2015 / Accepted: 17 November 2015 / Published: 1 December 2015 Abstract: While there seems to be growing media intrigue over atypical forms of alcohol use, the utilization of the majority of novel consumption methods (e.g., eyeballing, slimming, alcohol without liquid (AWOL)) seems minimal. In 2014, however, several outlets suggested that powdered alcohol would soon surface as a threat to public safety. The impetus of these fears was the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau’s approval for Lipsmark LLC to package a powdered alcohol product named “Palcohol”. Palcohol has yet to reach store shelves, but public outcry has been intense.

No. 67-56-1) For NAS/COT Subcommittee for AEGLs February 2005 METHANOL Interim 2: 2/2005 PREFACE Under the authority of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) P. L. 92-463 of 1972, the National Advisory Committee for Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances (NAC/AEGL Committee) has been established to identify, review and interpret relevant toxicologic and other scientific data and develop AEGLs for high priority, acutely toxic chemicals. AEGLs represent threshold exposure limits for the general public and are applicable to emergency exposure periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. AEGL-2 and AEGL-3 levels, and AEGL-1 levels as appropriate, will be developed for each of five exposure periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours) and will be distinguished by varying degrees of severity of toxic effects. It is believed that the recommended exposure levels are applicable to the general population including infants and children, and other individuals who may be sensitive or susceptible. The three AEGLs have been defined as follows: AEGL-1 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m;) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic, non-sensory effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient and reversible upon cessation of exposure. AEGL-2 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m;) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects, or an impaired ability to escape.

    Question Of the Day Archives: Monday, December 5, 2016 Question: Calcium oxalate is a widespread toxin found in many species of plants. What is the needle shaped crystal containing calcium oxalate called and what is the compilation of these structures known as? Answer: The needle shaped plant-based crystals containing calcium oxalate are known as raphides. A compilation of raphides forms the structure known as an idioblast. (Lim CS et al. Atlas of select poisonous plants and mushrooms. 2016 Disease-a-Month 62(3):37-66) Friday, December 2, 2016 Question: Which oral chelating agent has been reported to cause transient increases in plasma ALT activity in some patients as well as rare instances of mucocutaneous skin reactions? Answer: Orally administered dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been reported to cause transient increases in ALT activity as well as rare instances of mucocutaneous skin reactions. (Bradberry S et al. Use of oral dimercaptosuccinic acid (succimer) in adult patients with inorganic lead poisoning. 2009 Q J Med 102:721-732) Thursday, December 1, 2016 Question: What is Clioquinol and why was it withdrawn from the market during the 1970s? Answer: According to the cited reference, “Between the 1950s and 1970s Clioquinol was used to treat and prevent intestinal parasitic disease [intestinal amebiasis].” “In the early 1970s Clioquinol was withdrawn from the market as an oral agent due to an association with sub-acute myelo-optic neuropathy (SMON) in Japanese patients. SMON is a syndrome that involves sensory and motor disturbances in the lower limbs as well as visual changes that are due to symmetrical demyelination of the lateral and posterior funiculi of the spinal cord, optic nerve, and peripheral nerves.
