TLDR
The authors conclude that this relationship has not yet been firmly established, however, the use of alcohol-containing mouthrinses in high-risk populations should be restricted, pending the outcome of further research.Abstract:
This paper aims to review the current literature regarding the association between alcohol consumption and oral cancer. The authors have discussed the constituents of alcohol-containing beverages, the metabolism of ethanol and its effect on the oral microflora. The local and systemic carcinogenic effects of alcohol have been detailed. The beneficial effects of alcohol consumption on general health have also been considered. A possible relationship between alcohol-containing mouthrinses and oral cancer has been suggested in the literature. The authors conclude that this relationship has not yet been firmly established. However, the use of alcohol-containing mouthrinses in high-risk populations should be restricted, pending the outcome of further research.read more

Essentials of oral cancer.
TL;DR: This review aims to present the fundamental aspects of this cancer, focused on squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, moving from its definition and epidemiological aspects, addressing the oral carcinogenesis, oral potentially malignant disorders, epithelial precursor lesions and experimental methods for its study, therapies and future challenges.

Diet and colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Empirical evidence in this regard is not conclusive so further research is warranted, but CRC is a preventable disease through the modification of associated risk factors, including physical inactivity, obesity and overweight, excessive meat intake, smoking and alcoholic beverage consumption.

Moderate ethanol ingestion and cardiovascular protection: from epidemiologic associations to cellular mechanisms.
Maike Krenz,Ronald J. Korthuis +1 more
TL;DR: The epidemiologic evidence supporting the effectiveness of ethanol ingestion in reducing the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke is summarized to discuss the ideal quantities, drinking patterns, and types of alcoholic beverages that confer protective effects in the cardiovascular system.

TL;DR: The described dual-modality, dual-view, point-of-care oral cancer screening device, developed for high-risk populations in remote regions with limited infrastructure, implements autofluorescence imaging (AFI) and white light imaging (WLI) on a smartphone platform, enabling early detection of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions in the oral cavity.

Current relevance of hypoxia in head and neck cancer.
Marius Bredell,Jutta Ernst,Ilhem El-Kochairi,Yuliya Dahlem,Kristian Ikenberg,Desiree M. Schumann +5 more
TL;DR: The drive towards non-invasive prediction of tumor hypoxia should continue, as clear evidence of associations between prognosis and poor tumor oxygenation biomarkers such as HIF-1α, GLUT-1 and lactate is found.

Moderate alcohol intake and lower risk of coronary heart disease: meta-analysis of effects on lipids and haemostatic factors.
TL;DR: Alcohol intake is causally related to lower risk of coronary heart disease through changes in lipids and haemostatic factors as well as observational studies providing strong evidence that moderate alcohol intake lowers risk of heart disease.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that alcohol impacts many disease outcomes causally, both chronic and acute, and injuries, and a pattern of heavy episodic drinking increases risk for some disease and all injury outcomes.

TL;DR: The inverse association of moderate alcohol intake with the risk of myocardial infarction is confirmed and support the view that the effect is mediated, in large part, by increases in both HDL2 and HDL3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol and coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The degree of protection from moderate doses of alcohol should be reconsidered and the effect of drinking patterns on the risk of coronary heart disease should be performed, and caution is needed in making general recommendations.

TL;DR: It is indicated that heavy alcohol consumption increases the relative risk of stroke while light or moderate alcohol consumption may be protective against total and ischemic stroke.
