Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure as a Case of Involuntary Early Onset of Alcohol Use: Consequences and Proposed Mechanisms From Animal Studies

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
Prenatal alcohol exposure has been found to be an important factor determining later consumption of this drug. In humans, despite the considerable diversity of variables that might influence alcohol consumption, longitudinal studies show that maternal ...

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Congenital Heart Defects: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
There are still inconsistent conclusions about the association of prenatal alcohol drinking with congenital heart defects (CHDs). We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the association between prenatal alcohol exposure and the risk of overall ...

The effects of sensory integration techniques on muscle tone in children after prenatal exposure to alcohol

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2018
Background: Prenatal exposure to alcohol is the cause of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Alcohol exerts an especially negative effect on the central nervous system of an unborn child.

Constrictor responses of cerebral resistance arterioles in male and female rats exposed to prenatal alcohol

Physiological Reports, 2021
While it is known that dilation of cerebral arterioles to NOS‐dependent agonists is impaired in rats exposed to prenatal alcohol, no studies have examined the influence of prenatal alcohol on constrictor response of cerebral arterioles.

The Early Developmental Outcomes of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: A Review

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Aim: This paper systematically reviews the literature on the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on early child development from birth to 5 years with the aim to synthesize the developmental outcomes associated with prenatal alcohol exposure, and inform

Low dose prenatal ethanol exposure induces anxiety-like behaviour and alters dendritic morphology in the basolateral amygdala of rat offspring. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Prenatal exposure to high levels of alcohol is strongly associated with poor cognitive outcomes particularly in relation to learning and memory. It is also becoming more evident that anxiety disorders and anxiety-like behaviour can be associated with ...

Impact of Prenatal and Subsequent Adult Alcohol Exposure on Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Expression in Brain Regions Necessary for Simple Recognition Memory

Brain Sciences, 2017
Microglia, the immune cells of the brain, are important and necessary for appropriate neural development; however, activation of microglia, concomitant with increased levels of secreted immune molecules during brain development, can leave the brain ...

A tensor-based morphometry analysis of regional differences in brain volume in relation to prenatal alcohol exposure

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014
Reductions in brain volumes represent a neurobiological signature of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Less clear is how regional brain tissue reductions differ after normalizing for brain size differences linked with FASD and whether these ...
