Rohypnol, also known as "the date rape drug", is a powerful sedative that was widely used in the 1970s and is currently illegal in the U.S. though still legal in other countries. Some common nicknames for Rohypnol include "Roofies" and "Ruffies". Treatment for Rohypnol addiction involves detoxification, working with drug addiction professionals, acquiring new behaviors to replace addiction, and removing oneself from previous lifestyle and social circles associated with drug use. Both short and long term effects of Rohypnol can be dangerous, with short term effects including headaches, anxiety and confusion, and long term effects including delirium, convulsions and hallucinations

Addiction And Health
This document discusses different types of drugs and addiction. It explains that all abused substances alter dopamine levels in the brain and cause feelings of pleasure when used recreationally. For addicted individuals, drug use takes on a significance similar to survival behaviors. Addiction causes changes in the brain that interfere with clear thinking and self-control. The compulsive craving grows stronger than other priorities like family, health, and happiness. Addicted individuals often underestimate how much drugs impact their lives and the level of control they have over use.
Rough road to recovery
The document discusses America's growing addiction crisis, noting that over 1 in 7 Americans over 12 have an addiction. Heroin use has nearly doubled from 2005 to 2012. However, only 1 in 10 with an addiction receives treatment, far lower than rates for other diseases. There are many barriers to treatment, including stigma, lack of access, and cost. Addiction affects all demographics and youth are most at risk, with 1 in 4 who first use drugs before 18 becoming addicted. The document calls for recognizing addiction as a national health crisis, reducing stigma through education, ensuring treatment access and coverage, and focusing on prevention for youth.
Reuben Strayer on Opioids - Pain, Compassion, Addiction, Malingering
Opioids are extraordinary agents that have been used for millennia for the relief of pain and suffering; however, the history of opioids is also one of abuse and addiction. In the US, we are in the midst of a devastating iatrogenic chapter in this history, a prescription opioid epidemic that kills 15,000 Americans per year by overdose and destroys hundreds of thousands of lives and families.
In this presentation we will consider the magnitude and consequences of the current epidemic; describe how clinical organizations and clinicians were appropriated by the pharmaceutical industry so that Americans–5% of the world’s population–consume more prescription opioids than the rest of the world combined; and discuss strategies for managing patients who present to emergency departments with acute or chronic pain complaints that account for our competing mandates to palliate and protect.
These strategies center on an assessment of the likelihood that using opioids will deliver benefit or cause harm. For patients at low risk to be harmed by opioids, utilize aggressive multimodal analgesia, including opioids as needed to control acute pain, and prescribe optimal outpatient non-opioid analgesia with a small number of breakthrough opioids if indicated. For patients at high risk to be harmed by opioids, including patients with chronic pain and patients with flags for opioid misuse, avoid using opioids in the ED and outpatient settings, utilize non-opioids to manage symptoms, and, when misuse is suspected, nudge the patient to addiction treatment. The goals of optimal opioid stewardship are to provide effective symptom relief while preventing de novo cases of addiction, to control the supply of opioids in the community, and to protect existing addicts from further harm while promoting recovery.

This document discusses various hallucinogenic drugs, including their origins, effects, and historical uses. It covers plant-based hallucinogens like peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, and anticholinergic plants. It also examines synthetic drugs such as LSD, PCP, ketamine, and DMT. The effects of hallucinogens range from euphoria and enhanced senses to anxiety, panic, and psychosis. Some hallucinogens have been used medically or in religious rituals throughout history, while others like LSD and PCP became popular recreationally before being regulated.
antipsycotic drug.pptx
Antipsychotic drugs are primarily used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. They work by blocking dopamine in the brain. There are two categories: first-generation antipsychotics which have more neurological side effects, and second-generation which have a lower risk of side effects. Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia. Its side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and skin rashes. Healthcare workers must be aware of the adverse effects of antipsychotics so they can educate patients on mitigating risks through lifestyle changes like exercise and diet.

Drugs that activate inhibitory g proteins receptors
1) Opioids like morphine and heroin activate μ opioid receptors in the VTA and cause euphoria, while κ opioid receptors inhibit dopamine neurons and cause dysphoria. Withdrawal from long term opioid use can cause severe symptoms.
2) Endogenous cannabinoids like anandamide are retrograde transmitters that inhibit neurotransmitter release via CB1 receptors. THC is a commonly abused exogenous cannabinoid that causes disinhibition of dopamine neurons in the VTA, leading to euphoria.
3) Hallucinogenic drugs like LSD increase glutamate release in the cortex rather than activating the mesolimbic dopamine system. They induce perceptual changes and psych

Acids and hallucigens
Hallucinogenic drugs alter perception and brain function by acting on serotonin levels in the central nervous system. Two common hallucinogens are LSD (acid) and psilocybin mushrooms, both of which can cause hallucinations and distorted perceptions of reality. Short term effects include altered thinking and sensations, while long term effects may include flashbacks, changes in memory and focus.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain's structure and functioning in ways that can persist long after drug use has stopped. Common addictive drugs discussed include narcotics like morphine and heroin, cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, stimulants, and sedatives. The document provides details on the medical uses, effects, risks, and withdrawal symptoms associated with each class of drug.
Opioid Use Disorder | Substance Abuse | Psychiatric Nursing | Juhin J
The term opioid refers to a group of compounds that includes opium, opium derivatives, and synthetic substitutes.

Side effects of several major narcotics are also summarized.
Pcp
PCP was originally developed in 1926 and patented in 1952 as an anesthetic with the scientific name piperidinocychlohexanecarbonitrile. It was tested on animals before being used on humans, and was classified as an anesthetic after the Parke-Davis company tested it on humans and brought it to the federal government. PCP has legal pharmaceutical uses but is also an illegal recreational drug known by nicknames like "Angel Dust" and "Embalming Fluid." Short term effects include changes in body awareness and hallucinations, while long term risks are addiction and craving. Treatment for PCP users often occurs in emergency rooms.
Inhalants
Inhalants are breathable chemical vapors that are intentionally inhaled for their mind-altering effects. Short term effects include loss of self-control, violence, vomiting and death from suffocation. Long term effects involve weight loss, fatigue, organ damage and tolerance. Types of inhalants are volatile solvents, nitrites and anesthetics. While inhalant use is not explicitly illegal, it can cause serious health risks. Resources for information on inhalants are provided.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.share - Lions, tigers, AI and health misinformation, oh my!.pptx

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
