N2  - Medical records of 1,911 alcoholics admitted to the Alcohol Inpatient Service at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque (USA) were examined to find the frequencies among there variables: hallucination (H), nausea/vomiting (N/V), and elevated liver enzymes (L). The variable L is thought to be independent of neurotransmissions. By contingency table analysis with chi 2 test, N/V and H are found to be positively significantly correlated (p less than 0.0001) whereas L and H are not found to be correlated. These empirical data suggest that there is a potential link between H and N/V in alcohol intoxication/withdrawal. Careful observation of the symptoms and signs of alcohol intoxication/withdrawal may be a useful research tool for elucidating human neuroreceptors in the central nervous system.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
