Studia Patristica
Papers presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2003 (see also Studia Patristica 39, 40, 41 and 43). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Alcohol and Nutrition
Abstract: A research workshop on the nutritional aspects of alcohol abuse and alcoholism focuses on current information and new areas of research. Papers on the effects of alcohol on nutrition are divided into six areas: nutrition and gastrointestinal functions; mineral metabolism; vitamin metabolism; protein and amino acid metabolism; alcohol metabolism; and other effects of alcohol on nutrition, e.g., fetal alcohol syndrome. Discussion sessions are included and salient points are summarized. Recommendations for further research into the effects of alcohol on nutrition include: development of more sensitive nutritional deficiency tests; better understanding of the mechanism for energy wastage; and definition of the impact of ethanol on nutrient transport and bioavailability, metabolic balance, and mineral and vitamin metabolism.
