Long-Term Alcohol Consumption in the Rat Affects Femur Cross-Sectional Geometry and Bone Tissue Material Properties

Beverages with little nutritional value, such as carbonated beverages, may negatively impact nutrition and have long-term health implications, including but not limited to obesity. This study examined the risks for beverage consumption choices and intake of participants living in a rural community. Multiple questionnaires adapted from the Chronic Illness Resources Survey, the Harvard Food Frequency Questionnaire, Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test Questionnaire and 24 Hour Food Recall were administered to a cross sectional sample (n=706) using trained interviewers. The mean age of participants was 23.67 years of age (SD +/- 7.32) with 49.7% females and 50.1% males. Results indicated that carbonated beverages and alcohol consumption were related to increased caloric intake and Body Mass Index (BMI) in the sample (p< 0.05). Calories derived from carbonated beverages and alcohol consumption in younger persons (below age 35) exceeded (p < 0.5) weight and age recommendations for intake as determined by the National Research Council. Older persons (34-53 and > 53 years old), both male and female, drank fewer carbonated beverages and consumed significantly (p < .05) more caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate. The study results suggest an increased need for research into beverage consumption and its relationship to BMI.

High Risk Drinking

Objective: To examine the extent to which excessive drinking in young adults is associated with alcohol abuse and dependence. Method: Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using data from the eighth wave of the Victorian Adolescent Health Cohort Study, which comprised 1943 Victorians currently aged 24–25 years drawn from 44 secondary schools across the state in 1992. The main outcome measures of interest were short-term risk drinking status (based on daily alcohol consumption) and long-term risk drinking status (based on total weekly alcohol consumption). Results: Two out of 5 participants drank at moderate to high risk levels for short-term harm. Yet, because young people tend to drink on only 1–2 days a week, fewer (22%) were at moderate to high risk for long-term harm. Although 20% of the participants met criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol abuse or dependence, most of those in the moderate- to high-risk drinking categories were not diagnosed with either alcohol disorder. Conclusion: Excessive alcohol use in one or two sessions a week appears to be common in young Australian adults. While short- and long-term risky drinking is more common in those with an alcohol use disorder, the majority of moderate- and high-risk drinking is done by those who do not meet criteria for an alcohol use disorder.

Lack Of Knowledge

Background: Alcohol misuse increase between adolescent. They are more concerned with peer’s solidarity in drinking without being accompanied by a good knowledge. The aim of this study is to define adolescent’s knowledge about alcohol consumption. Methods: A Cross Sectional study was conducted in 35 alcoholic adolescent respondents with 12-22 years age range. Results: Knowledge assesment result showed that 60% respondents had a lack of knowledge, and 100% had negative attitudes and practices towards Alcohol consumption. Conclusion: Lack of knowledge related alcohol consumption in adolescents can spread to another risk behaviors in adolescents. Health workers should optimize the youth program such as PKPR in puskesmas by conducting health education especially on alcoholism and the long-term impact in the future.

Structural properties of growing canine long bones were determined from three and four-point bending tests. Mechanical and geometric properties were found to follow a biphasic growth process, with a rapid increase in bending strength and moment of inertia from 1 to 24 wk of age and a substantially decreased rate thereafter to maturity. Predicted bone tissue material properties were also found to follow this biphasic developmental process.

Tissue Material

Bone tissue material nonlinearity and large deformations within the trabecular network are important for the characterization of failure behavior of trabecular bone at both the apparent and tissue levels. Micro-finite element analysis (μFEA) is a useful tool for determining the mechanical properties of trabecular bone due to certain experimental difficulties. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of bone tissue nonlinear material properties on the apparent- and tissue-level mechanical parameters of trabecular bone using μFEA. A bilinear tissue constitutive model was proposed to describe the bone tissue material nonlinearity. Two trabecular specimens with different micro-architectures were taken as examples. The effects of four parameters, i.e., tissue Young's modulus, tissue yield strain in tension, tissue yield strain in compression, and post-yield modulus on the apparent yield stress/strain, tissue von Mises stress distribution, the amount of tissue elements yielded in compression and tension under compressive and tensile loading conditions were obtained using nine cases for different values of those parameters by totally 36 nonlinear μFEA. These data may provide a reference for more sophisticated evaluations of bone strength and the related fracture risk.

Methodological Problems

Summary In this paper, conceptual and methodological problems of school program evaluation are discussed. The data were collected in conjunction with a 10 year cross-sectional/longitudinal investigation with partial inclusion of control groups. The experiences and conclusions resulting from this long-term study are revealing not only from the vantage point of the scientific evaluation of new scholastic models, but are also valuable for program evaluation studies in general, particularly in the field of gifted education.
