Alcohol and injuries: Causes and consequences

The consumption of alcohol can cause serious injuries that often lead to disability and death of the population. The systematic effects of alcohol on muscle and bone tissue are major. Marked clinical aspects of treatment of injuries sustained the influence of alcohol. Modern scientific research in the field of injury prevention related to alcohol intoxication, are directed from one side to the study of pathological mechanisms occurring at the ultrastructural cellular level in muscle and bone tissue. Their clinical interpretation is developing towards clarifying diagnosis of major group injuries received in alcohol intoxication: multiple injuries of the musculoskeletal system, traumatic brain injury, frostbite and burns. On the other hand, the social and medical research aimed at identifying the high risk of injury in alcoholic intoxication, the development of effective measures to combat domestic, street, transport and road trauma, which can significantly reduce or even eliminate accidents at the influence of alcohol, to reduce all types of nonproduction of alcoholic injury of different groups. The aim of this review was to discuss the causes and consequences of injuries due to alcohol. Conclusion Modern scientific research in the field of injury prevention related to alcohol intoxication is directed from one side to the study of pathological mechanisms occurring at the ultrastructural cellular level in muscle and bone tissue. Their clinical interpretation is developing towards clarifying diagnosis of major group injuries received in alcohol intoxication: multiple injuries of the musculoskeletal system, head injury, frostbite and burns. On the other hand, the social and medical research aimed at identifying the high risk of injury in alcoholic intoxication, the development of effective measures to combat domestic, street, transport and road trauma.
