Adderall is a prescription stimulant used to treat ADHD that some college students abuse as a "study drug" to increase focus and stay awake. However, Adderall has serious health risks like seizures, heart attacks, and addiction when abused or mixed with alcohol. According to studies, most Adderall abuse on college campuses involves snorting the drug or taking it with alcohol. Long-term abuse can lead to physical and psychological dependency that is difficult to overcome.

Adderall - The Study Drug
Adderall's intended use is for the treatment of ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) and helps to calm the symptoms of those who suffer from it. Many people, however, and especially students, have been abusing the drug due to the hyperfocus state it
provides to people who don't suffer from ADHD. Adderall can be addictive, and abusers of the drug can suffer from side effects like insomnia, hallucinationis, high blood pressure, and numbness. Focusing after having abused the drug can be extremely difficult. Learn more about Adderall's effects and get help for addiction at iAddiction.com.

adderall presentation
This document provides information on Adderall, a psychostimulant medication used to treat ADHD. It discusses Adderall's chemical composition and mechanisms of action in the brain involving dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin neurotransmitter systems. Specifically, it is proposed that Adderall increases synaptic concentrations of these neurotransmitters, helping to improve focus, attention, and impulse control for those with ADHD. Potential side effects and risks of long-term use are also outlined. The document concludes by discussing the ongoing debate around appropriate diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
Disadvantages of Using Drug
The document outlines several major disadvantages of drug use. It discusses how heroin can cause high blood pressure, dental issues, constipation, and depression. Cocaine from coca leaves causes hyperactivity, depression, anxiety, and euphoria. Methamphetamine, also known as meth, increases excitement but can also lead to psychological disorders. Crack cocaine, which emerged in the 1980s, can cause nausea, overstimulation, and psychosis. Ecstasy increases confidence, awareness, and mental clarity but is often found in drug clubs and all drugs have researched side effects. The document recommends staying away from drugs regardless of type or perceived benefits due to these health risks.
Gen rx power point
DBHDD launched the GEN Rx project in 2012 in 3 Georgia counties to reduce prescription drug misuse among 12-25 year olds.

The project aimed to educate about abuse vs misuse, risks of addiction, and short and long term effects through community involvement and points of contact provided.
Bagful Of Pills
The document discusses the issues of polypharmacy and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in elderly patients. It notes that polypharmacy is associated with reduced quality of life, increased healthcare costs, and preventable hospitalizations and deaths in seniors. The elderly have unique pharmacokinetics that increase their risk of ADRs. The document proposes a CARE approach to reduce polypharmacy and ADRs through caution, compliance, adjusting doses, regular review of medication regimens, and educating patients. It also recommends the use of a personal health record.
Antabuse therapy
Disulfiram is a drug used to treat alcohol dependence by producing unpleasant reactions when alcohol is consumed while taking the drug. It works by inhibiting the breakdown of acetaldehyde, causing levels to rise over 10 times higher than normal when alcohol is ingested and resulting in symptoms like flushing, nausea, and increased heart rate. The drug is usually taken daily in tablet form to discourage drinking and support abstinence during treatment. Side effects are generally mild but can include headaches and drowsiness.

Aduhelm, an Accelerated Approval for Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, especially in patients aged 65 and older1. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that has a direct correlation to age: as age increases, the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s increases as well. Alzheimer’s has long been a subject of discussion in the pharmaceutical industries and, until the FDA’s recent accelerated approval of Aduhelm earlier this month, the most recent treatment approved for Alzheimer’s was in 2003, almost two decades ago. The FDA’s approval of Aduhelm represents the first-of-its-kind treatment and is the first therapy that aims to interrupt the underlying physiological pathway of Alzheimer’s, rather than simply attempt to treat its symptoms...

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.

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.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
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.Ketone bodies and metabolism-biochemistry

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

College Adderal Abuse
- 1. College Campus Adderall Abuse
- 2. Diverting; students selling to students
- 3. Most students do not realize Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance
- 4. Adderall is a psychostimulant containing a cocktail of amphetamine salts and several other active ingredients to treat those diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D.) Those who suffer from the disorder have a low rate of beta waves producing slow-wave activity making it hard to focus Adderall increases brain wave activity
- 8. Adderall Abuse includes mixing alcohol with the drug According to 2008 study from Dalhouise University in Canada, when drinking on Adderall people think they are not as drunk but the alcohol still has the same affect on their body and can lead to alcohol poisoning without the person even realizing that they are wasted. Most cases of mixing medication with alcohol, around 80 percent, is when people take Adderall after they start drinking. Another study from 2006 by the Center for Substance Abuse Research (CESAR) found that on college campuses, Adderall is typically snorted and used in combination with alcohol, yet it was least harmful when used alone to study.
- 9. Risk for Addiction The longer you take Adderall, the longer it takes to rid your system. Physiologically, it usually takes 2 weeks to a month for the brain to recover from a chemical dependency, but the mental battle can last for much longer. Side effects to Quitting include: * Mild-to-Severe Depression *Feelings of Worthlessness *Feeling Lethargic *Wanting to Sleep all of the time *An increased appetite *A lack of self-discipline *Sudden hatred for your day job
