- The AUDIT-C questionnaire is a fast and reliable tool to screen patients for alcohol use disorder (AUD)
- In patients with AUD and liver disease, disulfiram or baclofen should be considered for preventing AUD relapse
- In patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH) identified by the Maddrey’s discriminant function (≥ 32), a trial of prednisolone is a reasonable therapeutic strategy
- Carefully selected cases of severe AAH identified by the Lille score as non-responders to pharmacotherapy (≥ 0.45) should be considered for early liver transplantation
- New post-liver transplant scores may predict harmful (HALT) and sustained (SALT) relapse of AUD and help patient selection for transplantation

Surgical Management of Benign and Malignant Colorectal Disease in the Immunocompromised Patient
- Immunosuppression alters colorectal disease
- Immunosuppressive therapy for inflammatory bowel disease may worsen postoperative outcomes
- Diverticulitis, even if uncomplicated, should be treated with a surgical resection in patients who have had a solid-organ transplantation
- Typhlitis may mimic appendicitis in immunocompromised patients but should not be managed with surgery
- Certain neoplasms are increased in the setting of immunosuppression
