A survey of 586 trainee doctors in Yorkshire was undertaken to ascertain current junior doctors' knowledge and understanding of alcohol units. Approximately 18% of trainees had no knowledge of alcohol units despite the fact that 82% believed they had a good knowledge. Once again, those who did not drink alcohol knew less about alcohol units than those who did. Little progress seems to have been made on this important subject since our previous survey 7 years ago. Further steps must be taken to ensure that junior doctors are taught about alcohol units during the course of their training so that they are able to counsel patients appropriately.

Alcohol is the most frequently abused drug in the United States, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a common comorbidity in intensive care units (ICUs). We performed a retrospective chart review of patients admitted to an ICU between January 2017 and March 2019 at a tertiary hospital serving a large rural population. Patients with diagnoses of AUDs were included.

Organocatalytic enantioselective formal nucleophilic substitution reactions of α-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-8-yl)propargyl alcohols with 1-(1-indol-3-yl)naphthalen-2-ols have been established for the first time. With the aid of a suitable chiral phosphoric acid, alkynyl 8-methylenenaphthalen-2(8)-one was formed in situ from the corresponding α-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-8-yl)propargyl alcohol, followed by enantioselective 1,6-conjugate additions of 1-(1-indol-3-yl)naphthalen-2-ols to afford a number of enantioenriched (,)-2,3-disubstituted indoles in 50-80% yields with 81-93% ee and (,)-2,3-disubstituted indoles in 18-40% yields with 79-96% ee. Notably, these nucleophilic substitution products were characterized by the presence of functional groups, including indole, naphthol, and alkynyl units, while exhibiting both axial and central chirality.

Alcohol consumption is an important risk factor for multiple diseases. It is typically assessed via self-report, which is open to measurement error through recall bias. Instead, molecular data such as blood-based DNA methylation (DNAm) could be used to derive a more objective measure of alcohol consumption by incorporating information from cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites known to be linked to the trait.

Despite this, disproportionate burdens of HIV continue among specific subpopulations, such as fishermen. Fishermen are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection and have a low uptake of HIV prevention and treatment services.
