Alcohol is considered the main culprit in harming health. In terms of physical health, there is also an assessment that it is ‘white sea and useless’. However, research is attracting attention with the results of a study showing that if a couple whose relationship is at stake drinks together, their relationship can be prolonged and even their lifespan can be increased.
They found that couples who have similar drinking habits and drink together are more likely to live longer and have healthier relationships than couples who don’t drink together.
Kira Burdit, a professor at the University of Michigan in the US, said she had found that couples with similar drinking habits (the so-called ‘drinking partnership’) had less marital conflict and had longer-lasting relationships. But the researchers said why He also acknowledged the limitations of the study, saying he was not sure whether drinking alcohol was “related to better survival.”
Professor Burdit, the lead author of this study published in the February issue of the medical journal The Gerontologist, said that the purpose of this study was to investigate how couples’ drinking affects mortality in a recent health and retirement study conducted by the University of Michigan.
Study highlights high risks of antipsychotics used in dementia
2024-04-18 02:00:22
Several antipsychotic treatments are associated with serious side effects when they are used to calm symptoms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, points out a study published Thursday, fueling the already numerous controversies surrounding these drugs.
“The use of antipsychotics (…) in adults with dementia is associated with increased risks of stroke, venous thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, heart failure, fracture, pneumonia and acute renal failure,” lists this study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
These treatments — risperidone, haloperidol, quetiapine and olanzapine — are normally used for psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. They are also sometimes used against depression that is particularly resistant to other medications.
But it also happens that they are prescribed to patients suffering from dementia, such as Alzheimer’s. It is not a question of curing these illnesses, most of the time incurable, but of calming certain symptoms such as aggressive behavior.
This use is, however, very controversial, due to the serious side effects that these treatments pose, and their limited effectiveness in this indication.
In France, as in the United Kingdom, where the BMJ study was carried out, only risperidone and haloperidol are authorized for dementia.

Italian Health System in Crisis: Thousands of Beds Cut, Doctors Leaving Public Facilities
According to data presented by the 75 scientific societies of hospital and university clinicians (FoSSC), the Italian health system is facing a critical situation. Over the past two years, from 2020 to 2022, a total of 32,500 beds have been cut in Italian hospitals, with over 11,000 doctors leaving public facilities during the same period. The number of hospitals has also decreased, with 95 (9%) closed in the past decade.
Francesco Cognetti, the coordinator of FoSSC, highlighted the impact of these cuts, stating that there is a significant lack of ordinary inpatient beds and intensive care beds in Italian hospitals. He also pointed out the aging workforce, with 56% of doctors over 55 years old compared to only 14% in Great Britain. Furthermore, the number of hospitals has decreased from 1,091 in 2012 to 996 in 2022, with a more significant reduction in public facilities.
In addition, the financing of the National Health Fund has increased in absolute terms compared to 2021 but has decreased in relation to GDP, leading to challenges in retaining medical professionals. The FoSSC is calling for a major structural reform and urgent measures to save the National Health Service (NHS) in Italy.
