	Gullo L. Alcohol and Chronic Pancreatitis: Leading or Secondary Etiopathogenetic Role?. JOP. J Pancreas (Online) 2005; ...
		We have also seen that alcoholic chronic pancreatitis is generally more severe in heavy drinkers as compared to moderate drinkers, and that exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and, consequently, the histological lesions of the disease, usually progress more slowly in patients who stop drinking with respect to those who continue [14].
		One of the first lesions in alcoholic chronic pancreatitis is the increase in protein concentration in the pancreatic juice and the consequent formation of protein plugs in the small excretory ducts with the occlusion of these ducts and perilobular fibrosis [1, 5].
		It should, however, be remembered that alcohol abuse causes diffuse pancreatic fibrosis which is intralobular without other important lesions in the majority of chronic alcohol drinkers [18, 19]; this fibrosis is different from that seen in alcoholic chronic pancreatitis in which fibrosis is mainly perilobular at the beginning and intralobular only in more advanced stages.

	ALCOHOL-RELATED PATHOLOGY
		Alcoholic cirrhosis is associated with an increased occurrence of chronic peptic ulcer.
		It is important to remember that alcoholics are subject both to gastric ulceration and to Mallory-Weiss tears produced by vomiting, and that haematemesis in an alcoholic may not be due to varices secondary to cirrhosis: the latter condition has a poorer prognosis, and is less susceptible to treatment.
		Alcohol liver disease is associated with increase susceptibility to infection particularly primary peritonitis.

	Excerpt from "Don't Be Afraid!"
		Alcoholism is one of the oldest of human problems, the solution of which has eluded scientists and social workers for generations.
		No one is a chronic alcoholic whose spinal fluid does not reveal intracranial pressure and the chemical changes that are positive indication of the disease.
		I am convinced that the only way to put a chronic alcoholic back where he was before alcohol "got" him and altered his brain chemistry is by reducing the intracranial-fluid pressure, thereby lessening the emotional tension and reducing his feeling of inward insecurity.

	Powell v. Texas
		afflicted with the disease of chronic alcoholism, which has destroyed the power of his will to resist the constant, excessive consumption of alcohol; his appearance [p555] in public in that condition is not of his own volition, but a compulsion symptomatic of the disease of chronic alcoholism.
		This conclusion follows because appellant is a "chronic alcoholic" who, according to the trier of fact, cannot resist the "constant excessive consumption of alcohol" and does not appear in public by his own volition, but under a "compulsion" which is part of his condition.
		If an alcoholic should be convicted for criminal conduct which is not a characteristic and involuntary part of the pattern of the disease as it afflicts him, nothing herein would prevent his punishment.

	Hepatic Encephalopathy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For example, alcoholic cirrhotic patients frequently experience elevated blood pressure in the portal vein transporting blood to the liver, which may lead to complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding and accumulation of fluid in the abdomen (a condition known as ascites).
		Chronic liver failure or ammonia exposure results in decreased expression of GFAP, which is associated with the presence of Alzheimer type II astrocytes that are characteristic of HE.
		In the alcoholic patient, abnormally intense signals (arrow) are detected on both sides of the brain in a region called the globus pallidus.

	powell
		Dr. Wade appears to have testified about appellant's 'chronic alcoholism' in terms similar to Jellinek's 'gamma' and 'delta' types, for these types are largely defined, in their later stages, in terms of a strong compulsion to drink, physiological dependence and an inability to abstain from drinking.
		In addition, punishment of chronic alcoholics can serve several deterrent functions--it can give potential alcoholics an additional incentive to control their drinking, and it may, even in the case of the chronic alcoholic, strengthen his incentive to control the frequency and location of his drinking experiences.
		For these reasons, I cannot say that the chronic alcoholic who proves his disease and a compulsion to drink is shielded from conviction when he has knowingly failed to take feasible precautions against committing a criminal act, here the act of going to or remaining in a public place.

		We expect that chronic ethanol will cause early increases in hypoxia, suggesting that hypoxia might play a key early role in the initiation of damage.
		We expect that preventing oxidative stress with SOD will protect against chronic alcoholic pancreatitis, indicating that free radicals play an important role in the progression of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis.

		Chronic duodenitis was histologically ruled out in all CP patients from biopsies obtained during esophago-gastroduodenoscopy.
		Therefore, we suggest that chronic alcoholism plays a role in increasing gastrin levels in CP but is not the only factor.
