Classically, they are divided into posterolateral, posteromedial and transulnar pattern. It is essential to distinguish them to guide intraoperative treatment to achieve an anatomic and stable reduction that allows early mobility.

It is particularly indicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with exercise intolerance. The objectives of respiratory rehabilitation are: reduction in symptoms and exercise intolerance, improvement of health-related quality of life, and reduction of health costs.

We have previously found the existence of a relation between activity of the brain mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) and consumption of ethanol in rats of the low-alcohol-drinking (UChA) and the high-alcohol-drinking (UChB) strains. The aim of the present study was to determine whether UChA and UChB rats also differed in sensitivity to the aversive effects of acetaldehyde (AcH). Aversion to AcH was studied by using a conditioned taste aversion (CTA) paradigm.

A conditioned taste aversion paradigm was used to determine whether aversion to the pharmacological effects of ethanol, apart from orosensory cues, can contribute to differences in voluntary ethanol consumption in rats of the low-alcohol drinking (UChA) and the high-alcohol drinking (UChB) strains. "Alcohol-naive" UChA and UChB rats were injected intraperitoneally with ethanol (0.5, 1.
