A systematic review of PubMed and Embase was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The search included articles published up to November 15, 2023. Meta-analyses and regressions were performed for alcohol consumption of less than 1 standard drink (10 g of ethanol) per day and for a range of alcohol consumption categories in relation to breast cancer. Analyses by menopausal status, hormone receptor status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, and molecular subtype were performed. The search yielded 5645 publications, of which 23 publications of individual and pooled studies examined the association between overall alcohol consumption and breast cancer incidence. The meta-regression showed a positive association; relative risks (RR) of breast cancer were 1.05 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.06), 1.10 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.12), 1.18 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.21), and 1.22 (95% CI: 1.19, 1.25) for 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 standard drinks per day compared with nondrinking, respectively. A meta-analysis of nine studies indicated that for consumption of less than one standard drink per day, the RR estimate of breast cancer was 1.04 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.07) compared with nondrinking. Consumption of an additional 1 standard drink per day was associated with a higher risk of premenopausal (RR: 1.03 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.06)) and postmenopausal (RR: 1.10 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.12)) breast cancer. Alcohol consumption increases female breast cancer risk, even for women who consume one drink per day.

Currently, no comprehensive study has examined rates of agreement between different diagnostic criteria for FASD.

A systematic review was conducted to identify articles reporting on the comparison of two or more diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of FASD. Inclusion criteria required that the study present data that estimated agreement for a diagnosis of FASD or no-FASD between two or more FASD criteria using two-by-two tables or presented data that could be used to generate the tables. Meta-analyses with confidence intervals were included to demonstrate variability in the estimates. Standardized measures of agreement were assessed using the kappa statistic with 95% confidence intervals and the phi coefficient as a measure of correlation between binary outcomes. The search identified six studies reporting on eight different FASD diagnostic criteria. The studies compared agreement between 17 different pairings of the criteria. For individual children, agreement ranged from 53.7% to 91%. The agreement between the eight different diagnostic criteria ranged from 59.4% to 89.5%. The kappa statistic found that five associations had a kappa ranging from 0.6 to 0.8. This study illustrates that comparisons of multiple pairs of diagnostic criteria are likely to result in considerable variation in diagnoses of FASD for individual children and between different criteria.

Zale","doi":"10.1111/acer.15499","DOIUrl":"10.1111/acer.15499","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Alcohol use and pain are common among People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) and present a significant public health concern in this high-risk group. The Reciprocal Model of Pain and Substance Use posits that bidirectional interactions between pain and alcohol use maintain and exacerbate one another (Ditre et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). As research and clinical interest in pain–alcohol associations continue to grow, the field will be advanced by (a) prospective studies that are capable of identifying changes in pain and alcohol use over time, (b) research that focuses on high-risk populations who evince pain and alcohol-related health disparities, and (c) examination of pain–alcohol associations across a spectrum of pain and alcohol-related characteristics. Palfai et al. (&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;) made a significant contribution to the literature in all of these domains through their examination of both pain intensity and interference as prospective predictors of heavy drinking and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of PLWH. Leveraging data from an existing cohort study, they found that PLWH with moderate/severe pain (vs. no/mild pain) at baseline were more than twice as likely to meet DSM-5 criteria for AUD at 12-month follow-up. Moreover, those with moderate/severe pain-related interference (vs. no/mild interference) in daily functioning were more than 3 times more likely to meet criteria for AUD. In both instances, greater pain and interference were further associated with greater AUD severity. The study conducted by Palfai et al. (&lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;) provides a rich context for considering the current state-of-the-art and future directions in pain–alcohol research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PLWH are an ideal population in which to study pain–alcohol associations because HIV is highly comorbid with both pain and alcohol use, and PLWH face disparities across numerous health outcomes. Indeed, prevalence rates of unhealthy alcohol use (i.e., a range that encompasses risky or potentially harmful drinking through AUD) are up to six times greater among PLWH than among the general population (e.g., Duko et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; SAMHSA, &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). This is of particular concern given that PLWH experience disproportionate alcohol-related disease burdens because of the adverse effects on HIV-related outcomes (Molina et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). Like unhealthy alcohol use, chronic pain is more prevalent among PLWH, with rates about twice as high as the general population (Madden et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Yong et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).

For this narrative review, we conducted keyword searches in electronic databases to find cross-sectional and longitudinal studies (2015-present) that used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging, task-based functional MRI (fMRI), and/or resting state functional connectivity MRI. These studies were used to identify gray matter, white matter, and brain activity markers of risk and resilience in family history positive (FHP) individuals with a family history of AUD. FHP individuals have greater early adolescent thinning of executive functioning (frontal lobe) regions; however, some studies have reported null effects or greater gray matter volume and thickness relative to family history negative (FHN) peers without familial AUD.

Two categories of antecedents (i.e., internal [e.g., motives] and external [e.g., social context]) and three categories of outcomes (i.e., consumption behavior, general positive and negative consequences, and specific consequences) were identified. The current literature consistently suggests that greater day- or event-level social and enhancement motives, as well as being in a social context, predict greater likelihood of engaging in simultaneous use compared with alcohol- or cannabis-only use. However, there was heterogeneity in findings regarding the role of other person-level antecedents. Further, while most evidence pointed to heavier alcohol consumption on simultaneous use occasions versus alcohol-only occasions, findings for elevations in acute negative and positive substance-related consequences on simultaneous use versus single substance use occasions were mixed. Additionally, four studies found that increased consequences on simultaneous use occasions depended on the level of alcohol consumed. This review identifies several antecedents for simultaneous use events but suggests that simultaneous use occasions are not always associated with more acute harms than single substance use occasions. Given the extent to which the current literature is mixed, this review emphasizes the importance of methodological improvements and future research examining the mechanisms linking simultaneous use with substance-related consequences to help reconcile findings across within-person and between-person studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":72145,"journal":{"name":"Alcohol (Hanover, York County, Pa.)","volume":"49 1","pages":"43-61"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11740185/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142649808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
