Alcohol
- The document discusses the harmful effects of alcohol on health, including its impact as a depressant on the brain and nervous system, short and long term health risks, and damage to the liver over time.
- Long term alcohol abuse can seriously damage the liver, potentially causing cirrhosis or scarring of the liver tissue and preventing it from functioning properly.
- Alcoholism is characterized as both a physical and psychological dependence on alcohol that can impair one's ability to work, study, and socialize normally.
Drug & substance abuse Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroine, alcohol and prescription...
Risk Factors, Effects on the brain,Symptoms, Warning signs and treatment.
Drugs and substances such as marijuana, cocaine and heroine are not the only substances that can be abused. Alcohol, prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications, inhalant and solvents, sedatives, coffee and cigarettes.
Alcoholism
Alcohol is a major public health concern, contributing to over 2.5 million deaths per year globally. It has a long history of use dating back thousands of years. Alcohol dependence is characterized by impaired control over drinking and continued use despite consequences. Treatment involves managing withdrawal, brief interventions, rehabilitation programs, medications, and counseling. Physicians play an important role in identifying alcoholism and guiding treatment.
Alcohol ppt
Alcohol affects many parts of the body. It initially causes an energizing effect but is actually a depressant that slows the central nervous system. As more alcohol is consumed, it impairs judgment, motor skills, and can lead to intoxication or even loss of consciousness. The liver works to break down alcohol but drinking too much overwhelms this system. Long term heavy use can damage the liver and brain. Fetal alcohol syndrome may also result if a pregnant woman drinks.

Overview of drug ups downs and issues The trafficking of illicit drugs and hallucinogens is the largest illegal business in the world accounting for about 8% of international trade, amounting to about $400 billion annually. Drugs corrode a whole society. Robbery and violence connected with drug abuse have become a mundane affair and most commonly drug consumers often appeal to felony or prostitution to satisfy their vice. https://www.houghtonhouse.co.za
Drug and substance abuse topic three
Drug abuse refers to using chemicals to experience pleasurable effects on the brain. Addiction is a disease affecting the brain and behavior that causes uncontrollable drug use despite harm. Treatment involves pharmacological, psychological, and social support approaches to address both physical and mental aspects of addiction over the long-term to prevent relapse into drug abuse.

"Youth" The Future Leaders! and “The Drug Problem“
My first presentation on slideshare! This presentation was delivered in PYDN - Professional Youth Development Network's First Sindh Youth Summit which happened in 2010. And it was my first keynote presentation in any conference! :3
This presentation comprehensively explains the drug problem. I have given the Global Scenario i.e. How and When the United Nations decided to curb the World Drug Problem. Followed by the Local scenario of drug addiction i.e. How Pakistan and Sindh are suffering from it.
I have also explained how we can curb the drug demand in our society.
On a sidenote, this presentation can tell you how I have changed my powerpoint skills! :) i.e. from the generic mediocre style to what Jesse Desjardins @jessedee and Guy Kawasaki @GuyKawasaki advocate!
Drugs of Abuse: Addiction Theory
Reviews addiction theory, the Jellenik curve, reasons for use and risk and protective factors related to substance abuse. NBCC, NAADAC, CAADAC, and California Board of Behavioral Sciences approved Mental Health continuing education and addictions counselor training series. Narrated versions and CEUs available at http://www.allceus.com
Drugs & alcohol
The document discusses the health risks of marijuana use and binge drinking among teens. Regular marijuana use can cause memory, learning, and motivation problems as well as respiratory issues. It also increases the risk of psychosis and heart problems. Binge drinking is defined as having 5 or more drinks within a few hours, and nearly two-thirds of drinking teens report bingeing. Binge drinking raises the risk of accidents, unsafe sex, addiction and short-term effects like poisoning. Long-term, it can lead to ulcers, liver disease, and cardiovascular issues. The document provides strategies for resisting peer pressure to use drugs and advice on quitting substance abuse.
Drug addiction: A complex neurological disease
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disease that requires integrated treatment of the mind, body, and spirit. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain, they change its structure and how it works. Without treatment, these brain changes can be long-lasting. Addiction is chronic, it is progressive, and if left untreated, it can be fatal.
Individuals struggling with drug addiction often feel as though they cannot function normally without their drug of choice. This can lead to a wide range of issues that impact professional goals, personal relationships, and overall health. Over time, these serious side effects can be progressive, and if left untreated, fatal.

The project defined drug abuse as using chemicals for pleasure and outlined several categories of drugs including depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. It discussed how drugs are administered and the physical, behavioral, and social consequences of youth substance abuse. The project also presented several prevention methods and noted that cannabis is the most widely abused drug globally.
What is addiction?
An addiction is a chronic dysfunction of the brain system that involves reward, motivation, and memory. It’s about the way your body craves a substance or behavior, especially if it causes a compulsive or obsessive pursuit of “reward” and lack of concern over consequences.
Drug Abuse:SSB 55
This document provides information on drug abuse and addiction. It defines drug abuse and addiction, discusses why some drug users become addicted while others do not, explains how drug abuse and addiction can develop, lists common signs and symptoms of drug abuse and addiction, and discusses ways to get help for drug abuse and addiction including support groups and treatment options. The document aims to educate about drug abuse and addiction through providing facts and addressing common myths.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a chronic brain disease caused by repeated drug abuse that leads to changes in brain structure and function and compels drug seeking behaviors. While initial drug use is often voluntary, continued use can affect self-control and decision making abilities. Treatment for drug addiction includes medications to reestablish normal brain function and prevent relapse, as well as behavioral therapies to modify attitudes and behaviors and teach healthy life skills.
drugs abuse , tolerances, addiction
This document discusses drug addiction and related topics. It begins by defining drug addiction as a chronic disease affecting the brain where a person feels compelled to use drugs repeatedly regardless of the harm. It then discusses the stages of drug addiction from initial curiosity to drugs becoming the center of a person's life. The document also covers drug abuse, causes of drug use, symptoms of abuse, treatment options, and the differences between addiction, abuse, tolerance, and dependence.
Chapter 2
There are three main biological theories that help explain drug use and addiction:
1. Abused drugs function as positive reinforcers by enhancing pleasure centers in the brain and releasing neurotransmitters like dopamine.
2. Genetic factors may predispose some individuals to drug addiction through inherited traits.
3. There is substantial overlap between drug addiction and mental illness, suggesting biological explanations are responsible for this link.

FACIAL NERVE
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

nursing management of patient with Empyema ppt
prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, SPN
Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptx
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

Alcohol and Drugs Awareness Suggestions | Len Mistretta
- 1. Alcohol and Other Drug Use Awareness Created By : Len Mistretta
- 2. Today’s Agenda Talk about Typical Factors Teenagers Use Liquor and Other Medication (AOD) Effects of AOD Use Stages of AOD Use Tolerance Recovery Effect AOD Use and Psychological Development Resources
- 3. Discussion Questions A. What do you think most individuals your age experience about liquor and other drugs? B. What information have you obtained from the press that have marketed and/or frustrated medication use?
- 4. Typical Factors for Liquor and Other Medication Use What do you think are typical factors why youngsters use liquor and/or other drugs?
- 5. Typical Factors Teenagers Use Liquor and Other Drugs Dullness Availability Conformity Curiosity Fun Escape Rebellion Friends Movies and TV shows that glamorize drugs use Desire to look cool Peer Pressure Desire to increase mood Escape negative emotions Self-medication
- 6. Effects of Alcohol and Other Drug Use Emotional • Improved emotions of • loneliness and ostracism • Improved depressive disorders • Increased stress • Depression • Feelings of low self-esteem Physical • Interruption with studying, storage, and concentration • Affects verdict and making decisions • Increases risk of psychological health disorders
- 7. Stages of Use What do you think each stage looks like?
- 10. Stages of Use Scientists have determined: Youngsters move through these levels at an increased rate of rate than grownups. It requires 8-10 years for a mature traveling from analysis with liquor and/or other medication to becoming chemical dependent It needs a youngster anywhere from 3-15 months.
- 11. Rebound Effect What goes up must come down. Alcohol and/or medication use causes a brief “high” which eventually results in “crashing” or “coming down.” A medication “high” continues a short time period, based upon on the medication and amount. The changes in the mind that result from ongoing medication abuse, however, can be permanent.
- 12. Drug Tolerance • Patience produces when a individual needs to improve amounts of liquor and/or other medication to have the same “high.” Increase Dosage
- 13. AOD Use and Emotional Development When youngsters use liquor and/or other medication to avoid adverse emotions, they are learning to evade emotions of stress and anxiety. As grownups, they are not able to learn how to deal with these adverse feeling and become psychologically “stuck.” For example, someone who begins to misuse AOD at 16 years- old will become adults to have a 16-year old psychological expertise set.
Editor's Notes
- For example, Our brain does not stop developing until our mid 20’s and it’s proven that alcohol use during teenage years stops the development of the brain. Scans of the brains of teenagers with recovering drinking problems actually had smaller prefrontal cortex –part responsible for judgement, planning ahead, critical thinking.
- So how do people become abuser? Alcohol and drug use is on a continuum. Which means, someone who starts to use because they’re experimenting (just wanting to see what it’s like) can lead occasional use, regular use, abuse, and dependency. To remember the stages of use, I have a mnemonic device- NEORAD. So let’s dicuss each stage in more detail. What do you think each stage looks like?
- Reasons for this: -Teenagers are willing to use a variety of mood altering chemicals…or whatever is available or accessabile. As opposed to adults who generally tend to be loyal to one or perhaps two drugs Read and go back to slide 9. How long does it take for a teenager to get from experimentation to becoming dependent?
- A drug "high" can range depending on the drug and dose. The changes in the brain that result from continued drug use, however, can last a long time or even be permanent. One of the first changes in the brain that occurs in response to repeated drug abuse is tolerance. Tolerance develops when a person needs increasing doses of a drug to achieve the same "high" or "rush" that previously resulted from a lower dose of the drug. This repeated use leads to permanent changes in the brain and dependence of the drug. Drug abuse and dependency is considered a disease and deadly if not cured.
