It seems that liquor is not a friend of your pancreas. A new study found that drinking just one measure of spirits increases the risk of acute pancreatitis. The winners in this study are wine and beer Chris Carson Camo Jersey , which appear not to have the same effect.

A new study found that drinking just one measure of spirits increases the risk of acute pancreatitis. The winners in this study are wine and beer, which appear not to have the same effect. In the interest of boosting health knowledge and staying on top of the frequent alcohol-related health news, let's dive in a little deeper.

The study Russell Wilson Camo Jersey , published in the "British Journal of Surgery," found that consuming only one serving of liquor can increase the risk of an acute attack of acute pancreatitis. This is inflammation of the pancreas that occurs suddenly, within hours of consuming alcohol. It can, though Ugo Amadi Rush Jersey , be a life-threatening situation and each year more than 200,000 Americans are hospitalized because of it.

The new study is from Sweden and it followed 84,601 people from 46 to 84 years of age for 10 years. For example, if you drink 200 milliliters of spirits (about five standard measures or so) just once Phil Haynes Rush Jersey , it increases the risk of an acute episode by 52%. That risk continues to rise for every five additional units consumed. However, drinking five glasses of wine or five beers on one occasion did not influence risk of pancreatitis.

The researchers were keen to investigate the effect that different types of alcohol had on acute pancreatitis. They were tempted after noticing that incidence rates declined in Sweden when spirits sales declined, despite increased sales of wine and beer.

The key findings were:
-- In 56% of cases, the cause of the acute pancreatitis was alcohol-related or of uncertain or unknown origin Gary Jennings Jr Rush Jersey , and in 44% it was gallstone-related (previously thought to be the main risk factor);
-- The average age of the patients with pancreatitis was 64 years;
-- Single-occasion alcohol consumption, including wine, beer and spirits, was highest in males and younger patients;
-- High single-occasion spirits consumption was associated with higher levels of diabetes (nine percent) than low alcohol consumption (six percent); and
-- People who had never smoked Cody Barton Rush Jersey , were more highly educated and regularly ate fruit and vegetables were less likely to drink large quantities of beer and spirits.

Basically, what happens is that, when alcohol metabolizes, it induces oxidative stress (the process that antioxidants fight). This D.K. Metcalf Rush Jersey , in turn, can lead to damaged pancreatic tissue.
The strange thing is that alcohol itself is not enough to trigger acute pancreatitis. The new study suggests there are ingredients in spirits that are not present in wine and beer -- and these unknown constituents could be the ones triggering acute pancreatitis.

They are calling for more research in the area. For now, if you do have issues with your pancreas, it may be time to lay off vodka Marquise Blair Rush Jersey , gin and the like. Symptoms of pancreatitis include pain (often sudden) in the upper abdomen, pain that gets worse after eating, nausea, swollen abdomen L.J. Collier Rush Jersey , and fatigue.

a rant about website being down and what options you may have, things to think about you never know they could happen to you.


Sorry about this rant... but it happened to me this weekend and I feel I must.


Saturday morning, the first call came in.


"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WEBSITE?" the client asked.


I went to their site and instead of the usual webpage; there was a black page with a big headline DEFACED and a photo of some warrior guy with a sword Michael Dickson Rush Jersey , there was even an email left there.


We got hacked all of our own sites and many of our clients who host through us. I use a 3rd party supplier for web hosting and now I had no idea if it was just us or was it ALL of their sites.


A call was placed to their support team which never answered (just to add to the anxiety that was building at warp speed).


Then I started thinking about this...


The hacker did this for no apparent reason other than ego. To show he did it and even supply his email (I never checked if it was a real email, that would probably make him even happier if I emailed).


Christmas season on a Saturday, not good to have your store closed. Not good at all.
