Abstract:
The recently revised version of the practice guideline 'Problematic alcohol consumption' from the Dutch College of General Practitioners offers realistic advice to general practitioners on how to manage problem drinkers. The number of patients with alcohol problems tends to increase among women of middle age. The proportion of patients that report an alcohol problem themselves is larger than is usually assumed. Questionnaires are oflimited value in the detection of an alcohol problem. The general practitioner should look at problem drinking as a chronic disease that demands structured disease management and monitoring. This perspective will lead to less frustration in handling both the problem and the patients.

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
