| Popis: | The necropsic study of hepatic lesions and the post-mortem survey which determined the alcohol drinking patterns of the 1,079 males and 269 females who died from violent death, confirm: 1. 1. That the alcoholic illness is more frequent in males than in females, although the percentage of alcoholism was more difficult to determine among women, because alcoholic behavior in them is hidden for social reasons. 2. 2. That among alcoholics whose livers present a normal structure when observed under the microscope, there is a greater deposit of intracellular fat which independent of the fat under the skin, and appears at an early age. 3. 3. That acute or subacute fatty liver, as well as cirrhosis of the Laennec type, appears significantly associated with abuse of alcohol and such lesions are evidenced later than the increase in intrahepatic fat, with no difference among sexes when similar drinking habits are compared. |
