Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Dimenas E. Scand J Gastroenterol 1993;28 Suppl 199:18.
3. What is GERD?
•GERD should be defined as symptoms or
complications resulting from the reflux of gastric
contents into the esophagus or beyond, into the
oral cavity (including larynx) or lung.
5. Pathophysiology of GERD
Impaired acid neutralization by
saliva and HCO3
Impaired esophageal
motility
Hiatal hernia
LES (inappropriate
relaxation)
Delayed gastric emptying/
gastroparesis
LES=lower esophageal sphincter
6. There is only weak evidence that lifestyle factors
aggravate GERD symptoms
• Obesity:
• severity of esophagitis correlates with weight only when
BMI >30 kg/m2
• contradictory studies into weight loss indicate no
effect/improvement in GERD.
• Smoking:
• lowers LES pressure and the acid-neutralising effect of
saliva.
• Physical activity:
• running might provoke GERD by increasing TLESRs.
Meining A et al. Am J Gastroentero 2000;95:2692.
7. Medications may aggravate
GERD symptoms
Impairment of LES function:
• beta-adrenergic agonists
• theophylline
• anticholinergics
• tricyclic antidepressants
• progesterone
• alpha-adrenergic antagonists
• diazepam
• calcium channel blockers.
Damage to the esophageal
mucosa:
• acetylsalicylic acid and other
NSAIDs
• tetracycline
• quinidine
• bisphosphates.

Fass et al. Alim Pharm Ther 2005
*NERD: Non-Erosive Reflux Disease
10. What are the Symptoms of
Symptomatic GERD?
• Heartburn
• Regurgitation
• Chest pain
• Impaired QOL
• Others (burning mouth/tongue)
• Atypical (“supraesophageal”) symptoms
• These are the same symptoms as patients with erosive esophagitis
and Barrett’s esophagus
• The severity of these symptoms CANNOT PREDICT the subtype of
GERD into which a patient falls prior to endoscopic examination
15. Metaplasia of the esophagus:
Barrett’s esophagus
Definition: a change in the esophageal epithelium of
any length that can be recognised at endoscopy and
is confirmed to have intestinal metaplasia by biopsy
of the tubular esophagus and excludes intestinal
metaplasia of the cardia.
Squamous epithelium Columnar epithelium
16. Indications for additional investigations
• Atypical history.
• Symptoms are frequent and long-standing or do not respond to
therapy.
• Alarm symptoms are present:
• severe dysphagia
• weight loss
• bleeding
• hematemesis
• mass in the upper abdomen
• anemia

20. Diagnosis GERD
• Upper endoscopy is not required in the presence of typical
GERD symptoms. Endoscopy is recommended in the presence of
alarm symptoms and for screening of patients at high risk for
complications.
• Repeat endoscopy is not indicated in patients without Barrett’s
esophagus in the absence of new symptoms. (Strong
recommendation, moderate level of evidence)
• Barium radiographs should not be performed to diagnose GERD
(Strong recommendation, high level of evidence).
21. Diagnosis GERD
• Routine biopsies from the distal esophagus are not
recommended specifically to diagnose GERD. (Strong
recommendation, moderate level of evidence).
• Esophageal manometry is recommended for preoperative
evaluation, but has no role in the diagnosis of GERD. (Strong
recommendation, low level of evidence).

heartburn in patients with Erosive oesophagitis
Ref. Oshima et al.AP&T 2018. Aliment Pharmacol Ther.2019;49:140-146
Methods:
Patients (n = 32) with erosive oesophagitis who experienced heartburn at least
once a week were randomised in a double-blind manner to receive either daily
vonoprazan (20 mg) or lansoprazole (30 mg) before breakfast for 14 days.
Results:
• Heartburn was relieved sooner with vonoprazan than with lansoprazole (P <
0.05).
• Heartburn was completely relieved in Vonoprazan (31.3%) than
lansoprazole (12.5%) of patients on day 1, respectively.
• Significantly more patients achieved complete nocturnal heartburn relief with
vonoprazan than lansoprazole (P < 0.01).
