BACKGROUND: The magnitude of risk conferred by the interaction between tobacco and alcohol use on the risk of head and neck cancers is not clear because studies have used various methods to quantify the excess head and neck cancer burden. METHODS: We analyzed individual-level pooled data from 17 European and American case-control studies (11,221 cases and 16,168 controls) participating in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology consortium. We estimated the multiplicative interaction parameter (psi) and population attributable risks (PAR). RESULTS: A greater than multiplicative joint effect between ever tobacco and alcohol use was observed for head and neck cancer risk (psi = 2.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.53-3.04). The PAR for tobacco or alcohol was 72% (95% confidence interval, 61-79%) for head and neck cancer, of which 4% was due to alcohol alone, 33% was due to tobacco alone, and 35% was due to tobacco and alcohol combined. The total PAR differed by subsite (64% for oral cavity cancer, 72% for pharyngeal cancer, 89% for laryngeal cancer), by sex (74% for men, 57% for women), by age (33% for cases <45 years, 73% for cases >60 years), and by region (84% in Europe, 51% in North America, 83% in Latin America). CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm that the joint effect between tobacco and alcohol use is greater than multiplicative on head and neck cancer risk. However, a substantial proportion of head and neck cancers cannot be attributed to tobacco or alcohol use, particularly for oral cavity cancer and for head and neck cancer among women and among young-onset cases.

Purpose: To investigate how prior-to-injury and usual alcohol consumption relate to time of injury. Patients and methods: The associations between injury time of day and day of week and prior-to-injury (labeled as "acute") alcohol intake and hazardous usual alcohol consumption (considered from the point of view of both heavy episodic drinking [HED] and risky volumes of consumption) are assessed using interview data from a randomized sample of 486 injured patients treated in a Swiss emergency department (ED; Lausanne University Hospital). Results: Acute consumption was associated with both injury time of day and day of week, HED with day of week only, and risky volume with none. Conclusions: Acute consumption and HED, but not risky volume of consumption, show specific time distributions for injuries. These findings highlight the potential importance of considering the time dimension of an injury when providing emergency care and have additional implications for interventions aimed at influencing the alcohol consumption of injured patients presenting to the ED.

El fenómeno «El Niño» (EN) que se caracteriza por la presencia de aguas de altas temperaturas y salinidades mayores de 35%0 o menos de 34,8%0 , de acuerdo a la masa de agua que ingresa, produce cambios significativos en la comunidad fitoplanctónica tanto en la abundancia, distribución, así como en la composición específica. La biomasa planctónica en la costa peruana normal­ mente es alta, presentando volúmenes promedios ma­ yores de 3 mi m -3, pero cuando se producen alteraciones como el fenómeno EN encontramos los volúmenes promedio bajos, menores que 1 mi m -3 . En cuanto a la distribución, el fitoplancton en épocas normales está constituido principalmente por las diatomeas, las mismas que se distribuyen a lo largo de la costa y en su mayoría hasta las 60 millas, afuera de ella el fitoplancton está representado por los dinotlagela­ dos; mientras que, en épocas consideradas como EN las diatomeas se distribuyen dentro de las 10 millas y los dinotlagelados propios de aguas calientes se acercan generalmente hasta las 10 millas de la costa. La composición del fitoplancton también varía. En años considerados normales la predominancia está dada por diatomeas como : Schroderella delicatula, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Skeletonema costatum, Asterionella japonica y Chaetoceros y los dinotlagela­ dos: Ceratiumfurca, Protoperidinium obtusum, etc. En épocas consideradas anormales se presentan otras especies como : Thalassiosira partheneia, Rhizosolenia temperei, Rh. castracanei, Streptotheca thamensis y Biddulphia sinensis ; dentro de los dinotlagelados : Cera­ tium breve, C. extensum, C. longirostrum, C. trichoceros, Ceratocorys horrida, Ornithocercus magnificus, O. qua­ dratus, O. steinii y Protoperidinium elegans.

Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, a transferrin isoform, is hailed as a new marker of chronic alcohol abuse, but its specificity is, however, not unequivocally accepted. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine carbohydrate-deficient transferrin levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C with or without documented chronic alcohol intake. Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin was measured using a double-antibody radioimmunoassay (CDTect, Pharmacia) in serum samples from 66 patients (45 males and 21 females; mean age: 39 years) with chronic viral hepatitis B (n = 20) or C (n = 46). Diagnosis of the underlying liver disease was established by liver biopsy. Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin levels were raised in 15 patients [23%; hepatitis B (n = 2) and hepatitis C (n = 13)]. In patients with chronic hepatitis B, the carbohydrate-deficient transferrin level was raised in two abstainers. In the 46 patients with chronic hepatitis C, 10 (22%) patients with an alcohol consumption of < 60 g/day for the men and 30 g/day for the women had raised carbohydrate-deficient transferrin levels. The overall specificity of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin for chronic alcohol abuse was thus 78%, suggesting an association between elevated carbohydrate-deficient transferrin levels and the presence of chronic viral hepatitis. Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin levels were not correlated with the histological grading or staging of chronic hepatitis B and C, or with biological markers of hepatic synthesis and cellular damage. Thus, an increased carbohydrate-deficient transferrin level may occur in patients with chronic viral hepatitis in the absence of chronic alcohol abuse. This fact should be kept in mind by physicians when using this marker to detect alcohol abuse.

BACKGROUND: Interventions have been developed to reduce overestimations of substance use among others, especially for alcohol and among students. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge on misperceptions of use for substances other than alcohol. We studied the prevalence of misperceptions of use for tobacco, cannabis, and alcohol and whether the perception of tobacco, cannabis, and alcohol use by others is associated with one's own use. METHODS: Participants (n=5216) in a cohort study from a census of 20-year-old men (N=11,819) estimated the prevalence of tobacco and cannabis use among peers of the same age and sex and the percentage of their peers drinking more alcohol than they did. Using the census data, we determined whether participants overestimated, accurately estimated, or underestimated substance use by others. Regression models were used to compare substance use by those who overestimated or underestimated peer substance with those who accurately estimated peer use. Other variables included in the analyses were the presence of close friends with alcohol or other drug problems and family history of substance use. RESULTS: Tobacco use by others was overestimated by 46.1% and accurately estimated by 37.3% of participants. Cannabis use by others was overestimated by 21.8% and accurately estimated by 31.6% of participants. Alcohol use by others was overestimated by more than half (53.4%) of participants and accurately estimated by 31.0%. In multivariable models, compared with participants who accurately estimated tobacco use by others, those who overestimated it reported smoking more cigarettes per week (incidence rate ratio [IRR] [95% CI], 1.17 [range, 1.05, 1.32]). There was no difference in the number of cigarettes smoked per week between those underestimating and those accurately estimating tobacco use by others (IRR [95% CI], 0.99 [range, 0.84, 1.17]). Compared with participants accurately estimating cannabis use by others, those who overestimated it reported more days of cannabis use per month (IRR [95% CI], 1.43 [range, 1.21, 1.70]), whereas those who underestimated it reported fewer days of cannabis use per month (IRR [95% CI], 0.62 [range, 0.23, 0.75]). Compared with participants accurately estimating alcohol use by others, those who overestimated it reported consuming more drinks per week (IRR [95% CI], 1.57 [range, 1.43, 1.72]), whereas those who underestimated it reported consuming fewer drinks per week (IRR [95% CI], 0.41 [range, 0.34, 0.50]). CONCLUSIONS: Perceptions of substance use by others are associated with one's own use. In particular, overestimating use by others is frequent among young men and is associated with one's own greater consumption. This association is independent of the substance use environment, indicating that, even in the case of proximity to a heavy-usage group, perception of use by others may influence one's own use. If preventive interventions are to be based on normative feedback, and their aim is to reduce overestimations of use by others, then the prevalence of overestimation indicates that they may be of benefit to roughly half the population; or, in the case of cannabis, to as few as 20%. Such interventions should take into account differing strengths of association across substances.

En Pacasmayo, Región la Libertad, se efectuaron experimentos para determinación de ondas sonoras producidas por el zumbador utilizando equipos hidroacústicos y jaulas con peces en cautiverio, para evaluar su efecto en el ambiente biótico y abiótico. Se detectó incremento de oxígeno disuelto en el agua de mar (0,20 mL/L); fragmentación de diatomeas, presencia de quistes de esporas de Chaetoceros en superficie, disminución de la abundancia relativa de Acartia tonsa, Centropages brachiatus, Paracalanus parvus y Oithona setigera. El nivel de presión acústica generado por el zumbador estuvo dentro de la amplitud de onda máxima de 145 dB//1 μBar ref 1m, que no es letal en los peces; sin embargo, estos niveles de ondas acústicas afectarían el sistema sensorial, alterando su desplazamiento, orientación y equilibrio, ocasionando que los peces queden atrapados en la red de enmalle.
