“…It is estimated that unregistered consumption of pure alcohol per capita is 4.0 liters in Romania (Furtunescu et al, 2009) making its total figure reach 15.3 liters (Constantinescu and Constantinescu, 2012). The increase in alcohol consumption in the "newly independent" European countries is attributed to the social changes, political transformations, transition to a market economy, and economic liberalization that began in the 1990s .…”

Young people’s consumption of alcohol is an ongoing problem. Many young adults binge-drink alcohol excessively, with serious negative consequences thereafter. This preliminary research assessed risk factors associated with alcohol consumption, drinking problems and related consequences among university students. The study was carried out on a total of 1056 students from UASVM Cluj-Napoca, Romania. University students claimed altered states of health after drinking episodes: vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness (43.1%), forgetfulness after drinking (3.1%). Furthermore, students who drank over the limit reported physical and violence-related problems (2.7%) and were more likely to develop risky behaviors, like driving under the influence of alcohol (13.9%) or car accidents (0.2%). The participants in the study were not heavy social drinkers, 50.9% of the respondents reported no consequences after drinking alcohol.

“…Compared to EU new members, Romania has a good rate of abstainers for men and women (second place after Bulgaria). On the other hand, the prevalence of heavy drinkers is worrying, Romanian women are the 3rd highest alcohol consumers in the EU, and Romanian men are in 5th position [ 32 ].…”

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine tumor, accounting for about 1% of all human malignancies. There are environmental factors that can potentiate the onset of thyroid cancer, in particular pollutants, lifestyle or radiation exposure. Another major cause responsible for the appearance of thyroid cancer is the habitat in endemic areas where there is a deficit of iodine in the soil, drinking water and food. We operated using the PubMed database in order to find the articles of interest. After a wary review of the literature, we designated the relevant articles necessary for our study including various factors such as alimentation, effects of the Chernobyl fallout radiation and the iodine and vitamin D deficiency in Romania. The aim of this article is to make a correlation between the different environmental and dietary factors in Romania, and the increased incidence of thyroid cancer.

“…More advanced histological features, such as NASH and fibrosis, are associated with the presence of iron in the reticuloendothelial system (as opposed to hepatocellular deposits) in cases of patients with NAFLD (33)(34)(35). The development of HCC in NASH is associated with sinusoidal iron deposition (22,36).…”

Non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease and hematologic manifestations (Review)

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystem disease, and it is associated with numerous extra-hepatic manifestations or additional co-occurring diseases. The aim of the present review was the identification and management of the hematologic manifestations of NAFLD. One of the triggers is considered to be iron abnormalities. Increased ferritin levels, hepatic iron deposits and iron overload are associated with NAFLD. The iron overload degree and severity are associated with the level of liver fibrosis and with the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. Excess iron deposits refers to the dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome (DIOS) and it is characterized by steatosis associated with moderate tissue iron deposition and increased levels of serum ferritin, while the serum transferrin saturation was normal. Further prospective studies are necessary to determine whether NAFLD has an independent risk for hematologic symptoms, besides the known risk factors. Future studies are also needed in order to assess the increasing impact of NAFLD on the micro-and macro-vascular complications of this systemic disease. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Methods 3. NAFLD and hematologic disorders 4. Conclusions
