Background: Mexican Americans comprise one of the most rapidly growing populations in the U.S. However, information on the co-morbidity of alcohol dependence with other psychiatric disorders in Mexican Americans is sparse.
Methods: Demographic information, DSM-III-R diagnoses, and information differentiating independent from substance-induced anxiety and affective disorders were obtained from 240 Mexican American young adults residing in select areas of San Diego.
Results: A high prevalence of alcohol dependence was found in this population. There was significant co-morbidity between alcohol dependence and anxiety, affective, conduct/antisocial, and other substance dependence disorders. Eight percent of the anxiety disorders and 26% of the affective disorders were found to be substance-induced.
Conclusion: High rates and substantial co-morbidity of alcohol dependence with psychiatric and other substance use disorders were found in this population. These data may be helpful in designing prevention and intervention programs for this high-risk population.

Distal tibial fractures are common lower-limb injuries and are generally associated with a high risk of postoperative complications, especially in patients with multiple medical comorbidities. This study sought to ascertain the efficacy of retrograde intramedullary tibial nails (RTN) for treating extra-articular distal tibial fractures in high-risk patients. Between January 2019 and December 2021, 13 patients considered at high risk for postoperative complications underwent RTN fixation.

With a rising incidence in an aging population, controversy surrounds surgical versus nonoperative treatments, particularly for displaced 3- and 4-part fractures in older patients. Locking plates (LP) and proximal intramedullary nails (PHN) are primary choices for surgical intervention, but both methods entail complications.

The smoky scent is the most distinctive feature for Souchong black tea. To reduce the dependence on pinewood in the smoking process of Souchong black tea, it is crucial to find an effective alternative smoking material. Five black tea samples were prepared via using specially designed fuel rods as the smoking material in this study.

Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been implicated in the progression and treatment of various tumors. The copper ionophores, such as Disulfiram (DSF), an FDA-approved drug previously used to treat alcohol dependence, have been found to induce cuproptosis. However, the limited solubility and effectiveness of the combination of DSF and copper ion restrict its widespread application.
