Introduction: Addiction behaviors are primary contributors to mental health issues among adolescents, often utilized as coping mechanisms or emotional regulation tools. This study aimed to establish the content validity of the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS) for Colombian adolescents, recognized for its representation of the cognitive-emotional aspects of craving. Methodology: This quantitative research focused on instrument validation. Seven subject matter experts evaluated the scale in terms of pertinence, relevance, usefulness, sufficiency, clarity, and appearance. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22, calculating internal consistency and the Content Validity Index. Qualitative feedback from experts was compiled in an Excel matrix, facilitating grammatical and semantic adjustments to the instrument. Results: Cronbach's Alpha values for each item and the scale exceeded 0.8. Content Validity Index scores exceeded 0.7 in four out of five evaluated criteria. These results supported retaining all scale items in the Colombian version. Conclusions: The content validation process yielded an instrument that satisfied expert opinion regarding conceptual constructs and explanatory power for the Colombian adolescent population.

“…Apart from the social, mental and behavioral disturbances, chronic alcohol abuse (CAA) causes and/or affects many serious somatic diseases, including cancer [1,2]. Among the surgical patients, different drinking patterns may also affect specific features in the management of anesthesia, patient behavior and different complications in the perioperative period [2,3,4]. cancers and other non-cancerous thyroid diseases by many observational studies.…”

Introduction/Objective. Alcohol abuse influence on developing thyroid cancer is controversial. While some studies consider it a protective factor, others deny any impact on thyroid cancer. The objective of the paper was to establish a possible link between alcohol abuse and certain types of thyroid cancers. Methods. The retrospective study included 502 patients with thyroid cancer and control group of 600 patients with benign forms of thyroid diseases (e.g. nodular, multinodular and toxic nodular goiter). Thyroid cancer patients were divided into 4 groups: I - papillary, II - medullary, III - anaplastic, and IV - follicular carcinoma, and grouped by sex, age (< 30 yrs.; > 30 yrs.) and alcohol abuse, as defined by WHO. Results. Thyroid cancer patients were predominantly male of younger age. This distribution difference was statistically significant in groups I and II (p < 0.001). Of total 10 (0.9%) patients with chronic alcohol abuse, 8 (1.6%) had thyroid cancer, while 2 (0.3%) belonged to the control group (p < 0.001). In thyroid cancer patients, chronic alcohol abuse was absent in group III and IV. Distribution in group I and II was 6 (1.6%) and 2 (2%) respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Alcohol abuse deserves to be considered as a risk factor for papillary and medullary forms of thyroid cancer, while it does not stay the same for anaplastic and follicular thyroid cancers.

A systematic review of treatments for alcohol-related cognitive impairment: lessons from the past and gaps for future interventions

et al. 2020

Alcohol-related cognitive impairment (ARCI) is highly prevalent among patients with alcohol dependence. Although it negatively influences treatment outcome, this condition is underdiagnosed and undertreated. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the existing evidence regarding both cognitive and pharmacological interventions for ARCI. We systematically reviewed PubMed, Scopus and Science direct databases up to May 2019 and followed the PRISMA guidelines. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Jadad Scale. Twenty-six studies were eligible for inclusion (14 referring to neuropsychological interventions and 12 to pharmacological treatments). Among neuropsychological interventions, computerised treatments, errorless learning and component method showed positive effects on working memory, memory measures and general cognitive function. On the other hand, thiamine, memantine and methylphenidate improved working memory, long-term memory and general cognitive function. Nevertheless, these studies have several limitations, such as small sample size, lack of replication of the results or low specificity of the interventions. Therefore, no gold-standard intervention can yet be recommended for clinical practice, and further research based on promising strategies (e.g. digital interventions, thiamine) is required.
