Article Abstract
Background/objectives: The most important risk factor for recurrent pancreatitis after an episode of acute alcoholic pancreatitis is continuation of alcohol use. Current guidelines do not recommend any specific treatment strategy regarding alcohol cessation. The PANDA trial investigates whether implementation of a structured alcohol cessation support program prevents pancreatitis recurrence after a first episode of acute alcoholic pancreatitis.
Methods: PANDA is a nationwide cluster randomised superiority trial. Participating hospitals are randomised for the investigational management, consisting of a structured alcohol cessation support program, or current practice. Patients with a first episode of acute pancreatitis caused by harmful drinking (AUDIT score >7 and < 16 for men and >6 and < 14 for women) will be included. The primary endpoint is recurrence of acute pancreatitis. Secondary endpoints include cessation or reduction of alcohol use, other alcohol-related diseases, mortality, quality of life, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and costs. The follow-up period comprises one year after inclusion.
Discussion: This is the first multicentre trial with a cluster randomised trial design to investigate whether a structured alcohol cessation support program reduces recurrent acute pancreatitis in patients after a first episode of acute alcoholic pancreatitis, as compared with current practice.
Trial Registration: Netherlands Trial Registry (NL8852). Prospectively registered.

Background: Craving is an aversive state and risk factor for progression to nonmedical substance use. The aims of this secondary analysis of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data were 1) to test whether craving was elevated on days of co-use of opioids and cannabis, and 2) to examine pain, pain catastrophizing, affect, and stress as risk factors for current and next-moment craving, among patients with chronic pain.
Methods: Adults with chronic pain (N = 46) who used both opioids and cannabis were recruited online and completed a 30-day EMA study, consisting of four momentary surveys per day that assessed opioids and cannabis craving, use, pain and pain catastrophizing, affect, and stress.

Department of Preventive Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: The incidence, prevalence and survival rates of gastric cancer are high, and the prognostic effects of healthy behaviors among survivors have not been well investigated. Therefore, We aimed to assess the effects of postdiagnosis healthy behaviors and behavior changes after gastric cancer diagnosis on all-cause mortality.
Materials And Methods: As a population-based retrospective cohort study, we used a cancer public library sample DB of gastric cancer patients between 2012 and 2019.

Persistent singultus (hiccups) can be distressing and challenging to manage in the postoperative setting. While pharmacological interventions such as metoclopramide are commonly used, their effectiveness is often limited. Gentian root (Gentiana lutea) contains intensely bitter secoiridoid compounds known to stimulate vagally mediated reflexes and has a long history of use for digestive complaints.

A 37-year-old female was hospitalized for acute liver injury, presenting a diagnostic challenge that ultimately led to a diagnosis of alcohol-associated steatohepatitis (ASH). Steatohepatitis is a state of liver inflammation with fat accumulation and has several potential etiologies, including metabolic dysfunction-associated, alcohol-associated, drug-induced, autoimmune, and viral causes. A definitive diagnosis often requires a thorough clinical history, laboratory and imaging studies, and, in some cases, a liver biopsy.

: Identifying dietary factors influencing liver cancer is crucial for developing preventive measures. While tea polyphenols have demonstrated cancer-preventive activities in animal models, the evidence in humans is not definitive. This study aims to explore the association between tea consumption and liver cancer, as well as the interaction between tea drinking and other risk factors, in China, a country with a high incidence of liver cancer and substantial tea consumption.
