Biologic Concomitants of Alcoholism

Mendelson, Jack H.·1970·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

"THE sway of alcohol over mankind," according to William James, "is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical facilities of human nature."2 But mystical sway represents only one portion of a continuum that may extend to severe biologic and social impairment for certain unfortunate victims. The scientific study of these heterogeneous persons, designated as "alcoholics," is a relatively new undertaking in biomedical science. Until recently, most alcohol-related problems were perceived as a moral issue, and alcoholism was not regarded as an appropriate subject for either laboratory or clinical investigation.Yet, in a curious way, the early investigative work . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
