obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental disorder whose main symptoms include obsessions and compulsions, driving the person to engage in unwanted, often-times distress behaviors or thoughts. The obsessions are usually related to a sense of harm, risk or injury. The common Obsessions include concern about contamination, doubt, fear of loss or letting go, fear of physically injuring someone.It’s treatment is done through a combination of psychiatric medications and psychotherapy.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
An obsession is defined as an idea, impulse, or image which intrude into the conscious aware repeatedly.
SCHIZOPHRENIA:
slide 1: A long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion, and a sense of mental fragmentation.
slide 14: Types:
• Paranoid-type schizophrenia is characterized by delusions and auditory hallucinations (hearing voices that don't exist) but relatively normal intellectual functioning and expression of emotions. People with paranoid-type schizophrenia can exhibit anger, aloofness, anxiety, and can be argumentative.
• Disorganized-type schizophrenia is characterized by speech and behavior that are disorganized or difficult to understand, and flattening or inappropriate emotions. People with disorganized-type schizophrenia may laugh inappropriately for no apparent reason, make illogical statements, or seem preoccupied with their own thoughts or perceptions. Their disorganized behavior may disrupt normal activities, such as showering, dressing, and preparing meals.
• Undifferentiated-type schizophrenia is characterized by some symptoms seen in all of the above types, but not enough of any one of them to define it as another particular type of schizophrenia.
• Residual-type schizophrenia is characterized by a past history of at least one episode of schizophrenia, but the person currently has no "positive" symptoms (such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, or behavior). It may represent a transition between a full-blown episode and complete remission, or it may continue for years without any further psychotic episodes.
Catatonic Schizophrenia
This type of schizophrenia includes extremes of behavior, including:
Catatonic excitement - overexcitement or hyperactivity, in which the patient may mimic sounds (echolalia) or movements (achopraxia) around them.
Catatonic stupor - a dramatic reduction in activity in which the patient cannot speak, move or respond. Virtually all movements stops.
Conclusion
It is clear now, through the use of genetic linkage studies and microbiology, that schizophrenia does indeed have a biological explanation. However, the biological explanation is only part of the story. A yet unknown combination of intense stress, sociocultural situations, and cognitive processes may lead to the actual onset of schizophrenia aided by natural precursors. The most compelling explanation seems to be that a genetically inherited biological abnormality gives rise to hallucinations/delusions as a result of intense stress and eventually leads to other negative symptoms in reaction to the hallucinations/ delusions. At any rate, the current understanding of schizophrenia explains that the symptoms, however easily identifiable, are the result of a complex interaction between nature and nurture that can be treated adequately through the use of atypical anti psychotic drugs and psychotherapy.

hii guys this is my ongoing presentation from my speciality class i hope u guys lije that please so i hope it is been useful for u in ur specialities by getting little help with that
Panic disorder is a condition characterized by extreme anxiety attacks which mimic heart attack symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, palpitation, heavy breathing, sweating, choking, etc. But, this is not due to any medical problem. It is completely a psychological issue and can be treated through psychological treatment.

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a set of symptoms that people who have a history of alcoholism experience when they stop drinking. People who are casual drinkers rarely have withdrawal symptoms.
People who have gone through withdrawal before are more likely to have withdrawal symptoms each time they quit drinking.
Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal can range from severe to mild, and can include:
-- Insomnia
-- Nightmares
-- Irritability
-- Fatigue
-- Shakes
-- Sweats
-- Anxiety
-- Depression
-- Headaches
-- Decreased appetite
Severe withdrawal symptoms include fever, convulsions and delirium tremens (DTs). Those who experience DTs may become confused, anxious and even have hallucinations. DTs can be very serious if they are not treated by a doctor.

Alcohol-ADVI (1).pptx. Ethanol is rapidly oxidised by the body to carbon diox...Mona487538
ethanol effects on health. Symptoms of exposure to ethanol may include irritation to the eyes, skin and nose, drowsiness and headache. Other symptoms may include stupor, nausea, mental excitement or depression, vomiting, flushing and coma. Exposure to high concentrations of ethanol vapours may cause irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract, loss of coordination (ataxia), sleepiness, narcosis (stupor or unconsciousness), impaired perception and lack of coordination. It can also cause lowered inhibitions, dizziness, shallow respiration, unconsciousness and death. Ethanol is harmful by ingestion, inhalation or by skin absorption.
Repeated contact can dry the skin resulting in the skin cracking, peeling and itching.
Ethanol can depress the central nervous system, the eyes and upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Ethanol can cause irritation, headache, fatigue and loss of concentration.
Consumption of ethanol during pregnancy may affect the unborn child, resulting in spontaneous abortion, developmental problems, or birth defects. This is known as 'foetal alcohol syndrome'. Chronic ingestion of ethanol may cause liver cirrhosis, affect the nervous system and affect the glands in humans.
Ethanol may cause mutations (genetic changes).
Ethanol is rapidly oxidised by the body to carbon dioxide and water, with no cumulative effect. Concentrations below 1000 parts per million (ppm) usually produce no signs of intoxication.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. EPIDEMIOLOGY
• MC substance abuse in INDIA -ALCOHOL
– NEXT MC- CANNABIS
• South india prevalance -33—55%
• Highest alcohol consumption -- KERALA
– 8 L / CAPITA
• WORLD WIDE—LUXEMBOURG (15.5 L)
3. ALCOHOL
1 unit=10gm=12.5 ml absolute alcohol=1 drink
• Can’t be stored in the body
• Energy -7 kcal gm
• Some amount of other nutrients
– some potassium ; no sodium
– Riboflavin & niacin
– Possible antioxidant benefits from
polyphenols(?)
– sometimes VIT C

• any drink that contains about 14gm
Of absolute alcohol
AUSTRIA 6 gm
U k 8 gm
AUSTRLIA 10 gm
FINLAND 11 gm
CANADA 13.6 gm
U S 14 gm
JAPAN 19.75 gm
9. BINGE DRINK
• U S DEFINITION
– Consumption of five or more standard drink by
males , four or more by females in about 2 hrs
• U K DEFINITION
– Drinking more than twice the daily limit (>8 men, >6
women)
• NIAAA DEFINITION
– Any time one reaches a peak BAC of 0.08% or
higher
10. SAFE DRINK
• no uniform guidelines
• UK– 2-3 standard drink daily or 14 per week
• USA– 1 standard drink daily or 7 per week
• Not more than 3 drinks on any one occasion
• Don’t drive or engage in hazardous activities
• Don’t drink if an interacting drug has been
taken
11. Where does Alcohol come from?
Grain whisky and beer
Potatoes vodka
Grapes wine and brandy
Apples cider
Honey mead
Sugar rum
15. Factors that influence absorption
• Gender
– Women produce less of enzyme needed to breakdown
alcohol
– Women have greater fat content and alcohol is not fat
soluble so it enters the blood stream faster
– Women have less water so alcohol does not become
diluted
– Women absorb more alcohol during the premenstrual
phase
16. • Absorption increased by
– Rapid gastric emptying ( carbonated beverages)
– Absence of meal
– Absence of congener
– Dilution
• Tissue distribution - blood flow & water
content
• Obese persons & women- higher BAC
• Follows zero – order kinetics
• So metabolism doesn’t vary widely in the
population
17. 3-pathways of EtOH metabolism
ADH in stomach (males) ADH & MEOS
in liver (males & females)
Catalase in liver (males & females)
MEOS- microsomal ethanol oxidizing
system -CYP2E1
19. Microsomal Ethanol Oxidizing
System (MEOS)
• Alternate pathway used, in addition to ADH,
when alcohol intake is excessive
• End products include:
– Ethanol acetaldehyde
– NADPH + H+ NADP+
No ATP formation = Energy Wasteful
• Also involved in drug metabolism
– Excess ethanol- less MEOS for drug- drug
overdosage
20. Genetic Variation
•50% of Asians have inactive ALDH
•Develop flushing reaction
•Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) varies in
Caucasians, Blacks and Asians.
• poly morphism TNF PROMOTER - susceptible
to alcoholic steatohepatitis
•Alcoholism -inherited ; specific gene not
identified
21. Metabolic effects
• High NADH/NAD RATIO
– Prevents pyruvate entering in to
gluconeogenesis- HYPOGLYCEMIA
– Converts pyruvate to lactate - acidosis-
uricacidaemia- GOUT
– Increase TG - FATTY LIVER
• INDUCES DRUG METABOLISM
• FREE RADICAL FORMATION
• ACCUMALATION OF ACETALDEHYDE
22. POSSIBLE HEPATO TOXIC
EFFECTS OF ACETALDEHYDE
• Increase lipid peroxidation
• Binds plasma membrane
• Interferes with mitochondrial electron
transport chain
• Inhibits nuclear repair
• Interferes with microtubule formation
• Activates complement
• Increases collagen synthesis
23. DRUG INTERACTIONS
• Synergies with anxiolytics, antidepressants,
antihistamines, hypnotics, opioids-- marked CNS
depression with motor impairment -- chances of
accidents increase
• Insulin & sulfonylureas: enhances
hypoglycaemia
• Aspirin & other NSAID –gastric bleeding
• Parcetamol toxicity
• Acute alcohol ingestion inhibits , chronic
alcoholism enhances phenytoin metabolism
25. DIAGNOSIS OF ALCOLISM
• TOLERANCE
– A state of adaptation in which increasing amounts of
alcohol are needed to produce desired effects
• PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE
– A typical withdrawal syn appears on interruption of
drinking , which is relieved by alcohol itself or other
drugs
• IMPAIRED CONTROL
– Total alcohol intake cannot invariably be regulated , once
drinking has begun at any drinking occasion
• CRAVING
– A dysphoria of abstinence that leads to relapse
26. Causes of Alcoholism
• Genetics
– Strong family link
– 50% of fathers, sons, brothers of alcoholics are likely to
become alcoholics
– Children of alcoholics are more then 3-4 times more likely
to become alcoholics
• Personality types
– Low self esteem
– Chronic anxiety
– Antisocial personalities
28. CAGE QUESTIONARE
• Have you ever felt to cut down?
• Have people annoyed you by criticizing ?
• Have you ever felt guilty or bad ?
• Have you ever had a drink first thing in the
morning to steady your nerves or to get ride
of hang over? (eye opener)
One ‘yes’ – suspicion
More than one-alcohol abuse or dependance
29. CLINICAL COURSE
• Age at first drink 13—15 yrs
• Age at first intoxication 15—17 yrs
• Age at first problem 16—22 yrs
• Age at onset of dependence 23---40 yrs
• Age at death 60 yrs
• Spontaneous remission in 20% Same as general
population.
30. DSM-IV CRITERIAS
• ALCOHOL ABUSE
• Recurrent use of alcohol associated with any
one of the following with in 12mns
1. Failure to fulfill major role at work
2. Physically hazardous
3. Related legal problems
4. Despite of having persistent social problems
31. ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE
• Any one of following in 12 mns
• Increased amount of alcohol needed to achieve
desired effect & continued use of same amount
• Withdrawal symptoms
• Persistent desire to cut down
• Important social /recreational activities given up
• Increased time spent to obtain/to use /to recover
from the effects alcohol
32. Collection of blood for alcohol
• Spirit - not used to clean skin
• Preservative –sod fluoride(100mg)+potassium
oxalate(30 mg)
• Refrigerated, should not be freezed
• WIDMARK FORMULA
– Wt of alcohol(gm) in body= BWT X BAC X 0.6
(men) 0.5(women)
33. Breath analysis
• Alcohol absorbs infra red rays
• Amount of infra red rays absorbed is
proportional to alcohol contents
• 60—100ml of air is receieved in a plastic
balloon
• End portion of forced expiration gives correct
results
• Conc in exhaled air is about 0.05% of blood
content
