Naltrexone should be first line for AUD in people with cirrhosis
It is increasingly uncomfortable to see baclofen mentioned alongside it, or even acamprosate

How much human knowledge has been lost to history?
Well, this ancient wonder was razed by the Mongols in 1258 — it's said the Tigris River ran black with ink.

A new @WHO report finds that England has the highest rate of childhood drinking out of 44 countries examined.
Prof Sir Ian Gilmore outlines how alcohol marketing lead children to drink at an earlier age and calls for measures to reduce harmful exposure.

Globally, liver disease is missing in national strategies. It should be included in primary health care plans and in services covered by universal health care.
It's time to act now. Spread the message, join the campaign!

Liver disease poses a significant health and socio-economic burden globally, yet it lacks adequate attention on the global political agenda.
There is low awareness about liver disease risk factors at the population level.
Most liver diseases could be prevented.
🌎Let's spread awareness and address these gaps.
🎉 Celebrate #WorldLiverDay on 19 April, wherever in the world you are based.
