Notes: Aims. To identify the predictors of changes in alcohol intake among French men. Design. Longitudinal study over a 2-year period. Setting. The GAZEL volunteer cohort comprising workers employed by Electricite de France-Gaz de France. Participants. The study included 11 613 men aged 40-50 years who had answered a self-administered questionnaire in 1989 and 1991. Measurements. Subjects were defined according to initial levels of alcohol intake and changes in that intake (cessation, decrease and increase) and compared with subjects with corresponding levels but unchanged intake by logistic regression. The effects of individual characteristics and of occupational and health conditions were investigated. Findings. Different variables measured in 1989 were predictive of changes in alcohol consumption in 1991, depending on the change. Self-perception of bad health, consumption of sleeping pills and unmarried status were predictive of the cessation of alcohol consumption. Working under favourable conditions (with no specific occupational risks) and being a non-smoker tended to be associated with reduced consumption. Increased consumption was associated with the number of reported disease and the smoking status. Among abstainers or light daily drinkers, being exposed to more than one constraint enlarged the risk of increased consumption. For moderate drinkers, the risk of increased consumption was higher, irrespective of the number of physical constraints. Conclusions. These results highlight the fact that many inter-related factors help to determine changes in drinking habits.

Notes: Abstract. Background: The purpose of this study was to describe the imaging findings of papillary adenoma of the bile ducts. Methods: Imaging modalities including sonography, computed tomography, cholangiography, and endoscopic sonography obtained in five patients with papillary adenoma of the bile duct were retrospectively reviewed and correlated with pathologic findings. Results: In four cases, imaging findings were a dilatation of the bile ducts due to a protruding mass within the lumen of the common bile duct. In one case, the biliary tract obstruction was not due to the mass but to mucus secretion that was detected at sonography, endoscopic sonography, and cholangiography. Multiple lesions were observed in two cases at pathology and not detected preoperatively. All the lesions contained foci of in situ carcinoma or mild dysplasia. Conclusion: Imaging is useful in detecting bile duct tumors. Hypersecretion of mucus is rare but highly characteristic of bile duct adenoma.
