"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 abuse and addiction
Drug abuse and addiction is a disorder characterized by destructive patterns of substance use that leads to problems or distress. It is considered a disease that involves tolerance to or withdrawal from the substance, as well as social, work, or school problems. Commonly abused drugs include alcohol, amphetamines, anabolic steroids, caffeine, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, hallucinogens, inhalants, nicotine and more. Signs of drug abuse include feeling the need to use regularly, failing attempts to stop, making sacrifices to obtain drugs, and risky behaviors while under the influence. Treatment involves screening, brief interventions, and brief treatment depending on the severity of substance abuse problems.
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is a common problem that is ruining not only the individuals but offering a global issue. People experiment with drugs for many different reasons. Many first try drugs out of curiosity, to have a good time, because friends are doing it, or in an effort to improve athletic performance or ease another problem, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. Use doesn't automatically lead to abuse, and there is no specific level at which drug use moves from casual to problematic. It varies by individual. Addiction is less about the amount of substance consumed or the frequency, and more to do with the consequences of drug use. No matter how often or how little you’re consuming, if your drug use is causing problems in your life, at work, school, home, or in your relationship, you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem. And if you are having this problem you are actually in trouble.

Chapter 16 Prevention Of Substance Abuse
- Prevention efforts for substance abuse traditionally focus on primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions. Primary prevention aims to prevent initial use, secondary focuses on early identification of problems, and tertiary refers to treatment for those with substance abuse issues or dependence.
- There are three major models of prevention: the sociocultural model aims to influence social norms, the distribution/consumption model focuses on restricting availability, and the proscriptive model prohibits availability and advocates total abstinence.
- Common prevention strategies include education programs in schools, mass media campaigns, and programs targeting at-risk groups like college students where binge drinking leads to health, academic, and legal problems for many.

ICRC Welcome Address
Emergency Surgery Workshop Davos 2011: Presentation by Prof Jürg Kesselring, MD, Member of the International Committee of the Red Cross ICRC, Valens, Switzerland
Epilepsy CME Busia 5th March 2015
This document contains a neurologist's presentation on epilepsy. It discusses:
1) The causes, risk factors, classification, diagnosis, and management of seizures. The three main causes of transient loss of consciousness are syncope, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, and epilepsy.
2) The importance of taking a detailed history from both the patient and collateral sources. Features of the pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal periods are important for diagnosis.
3) Treatment involves lifestyle counseling, first aid, anti-epileptic medications, and consideration of surgical options if medications fail. Managing epilepsy requires a holistic approach and partnership between the patient and care providers.
Epilepsy history and terminology
This document provides a historical overview of epilepsy from ancient times to the modern era. Some key points:
- Epilepsy has been documented as far back as ancient Mesopotamia in the 10th century BCE, with accurate descriptions of seizures. Hippocrates in the 5th century BCE was the first to argue epilepsy had a physical rather than supernatural cause located in the brain.
- Advances continued through Islamic, Renaissance, and 19th century physicians with improved classification of seizure types and localization of epileptic foci. The late 19th century saw dedicated epilepsy hospitals established.
- Major technological advances included the EEG in the 1920s allowing precise localization, and effective anti-seizure drugs
HIV and Trauma
The document discusses universal precautions for handling potentially infectious materials, especially blood, to prevent transmission of HIV and other bloodborne pathogens. It notes that universal precautions include protective barriers like gloves and gowns, safe work practices like proper disposal of sharps and hand washing. These precautions should be used by all healthcare workers whenever handling blood, body fluids, secretions, or materials potentially contaminated with these substances. The goal is to treat all patients' blood and body fluids as potentially infectious to prevent disease transmission.
Depressant PowerPoint
Depressants are drugs that slow down the central nervous system and body functions. They were first discovered in 1864 and used as sedatives, tranquilizers, and for anesthesia before surgeries. Depressants affect the nervous system by slowing brain and spinal cord functions, the cardiovascular system by lowering heart rate and blood pressure, the respiratory system by potentially making users more prone to illness, and the digestive system if the liver is impacted. Their effects include slowed speech, fatigue, confusion, and in high doses, coma or death.
Substance related disorders
The document discusses various substances of abuse including definitions of substance abuse, intoxication, withdrawal, tolerance, polysubstance abuse, and dependence. It also discusses specific substances like alcohol, opioids, cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis, hallucinogens, inhalants, and nicotine. For each substance, signs and symptoms of intoxication and withdrawal are described as well as appropriate emergency treatment approaches.
Epilepsy Myths & Misconceptions
The document discusses common myths and misconceptions about epilepsy, stating that epilepsy is not contagious, people cannot swallow their tongue during a seizure, and not all seizures involve loss of consciousness. It notes that while some people have difficulty controlling seizures, up to 70% of people with epilepsy can achieve seizure freedom with medication. The document also emphasizes that epilepsy usually does not impact employment, parenting abilities, or participation in sports.
Depressants
Depressants slow down (or “depress”)
the normal activity that goes on in the brain. Alcohol is a depressant.
Doctors often prescribe central nervous
system (CNS) depressants to patients who are anxious or can’t sleep. When
used as directed, CNS depressants are safe and helpful for people who need
them.
Factors affecting HIV infection - Gender
The document discusses how gender inequalities contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS. It notes that gender norms can encourage high-risk sexual behaviors among both men and women. For women, factors like lack of education, economic dependence on men, and gender-based violence increase vulnerability to HIV. Changing harmful gender norms and increasing access to education and sexual/reproductive health services for both women and men are important for reducing the impact of HIV/AIDS. The document advocates for HIV/AIDS programs to specifically address gender inequalities.
ICRC, IFRC & National societies
The Red Cross and Red Crescent are humanitarian organizations that were founded to provide assistance to victims of war. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was established in 1863 in Geneva following the Battle of Solferino and Henry Dunant's book describing the terrible aftermath. Along with National Red Cross Societies and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the ICRC works to protect victims of conflicts and promote compliance with international humanitarian law. The ICRC in particular monitors adherence to the Geneva Conventions and provides neutral and impartial assistance to people affected by conflicts.
Measles - PHC
The document discusses signs, symptoms, complications, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of measles. It notes the classical symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. Complications range from mild diarrhea to pneumonia and encephalitis. Diagnosis involves observing a rash or testing for measles antibodies. Prevention is through vaccination, usually as part of the MMR vaccine between 18 months and 5 years. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and treating complications like pneumonia.
First Aid Slides
The document provides information on first aid training including:
1. The aims of first aid are to preserve life, prevent worsening of conditions, and promote recovery.
2. It outlines the primary survey process of assessing airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure (DRABC), and secondary survey to check for bleeding, injuries, and clues.
3. It also summarizes levels of consciousness, treatment for bleeding, types of wounds and fractures, and guidelines for safe moving and handling.
Evidence based medicine: misconception, myths and facts
The document discusses evidence-based medicine (EBM) and addresses common misconceptions about it. EBM involves using the best available evidence from clinical research and patient preferences to guide medical decisions. It emphasizes generating evidence through well-designed studies and systematically reviewing research to distill useful findings. While EBM requires effort, it can improve patient outcomes by focusing on the most effective interventions and making knowledge more up-to-date. The document rebuts myths that EBM is too difficult or reduces costs, noting it enhances care and decision-making.
Sociology Of Health And Illnesslec1
This document discusses conceptualizing and defining health and illness from various perspectives. It addresses the problems with defining these terms, as definitions vary between disciplines and over time and culture. Views range from seeing illness as a biological phenomenon to a social construction. A multi-perspective approach is needed. While social constructionism emphasizes the social basis of these concepts, biological factors are also relevant. An interdisciplinary understanding that incorporates different views is most useful for studying health and illness sociologically.

AlcoholTobaccoDrugRevised15-16 (1).ppt
Background: The Gateway Drug Theory suggests that licit drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol, serve as a "gateway" toward the use of other, illicit drugs. However, there remains some discrepancy regarding which drug-alcohol, tobacco, or even marijuana-serves as the initial "gateway" drug subsequently leading to the use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin. The purpose of this investigation was to determine which drug (alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana) was the actual "gateway" drug leading to additional substance use among a nationally representative sample of high school seniors.
Methods: This investigation conducted a secondary analysis of the 2008 Monitoring the Future 12th-grade data. Initiation into alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use was analyzed using a Guttman scale. Coefficients of reliability and scalability were calculated to evaluate scale fit. Subsequent cross tabulations and chi-square test for independence were conducted to better understand the relationship between the identified gateway drug and other substances' use.
Results: Results from the Guttman scale indicated that alcohol represented the "gateway" drug, leading to the use of tobacco, marijuana, and other illicit substances. Moreover, students who used alcohol exhibited a significantly greater likelihood of using both licit and illicit drugs.
Conclusion: The findings from this investigation support that alcohol should receive primary attention in school-based substance abuse prevention programming, as the use of other substances could be impacted by delaying or preventing alcohol use. Therefore, it seems prudent for school and public health officials to focus prevention efforts, policies, and monies, on addressing adolescent alcohol use.

Therefore, it seems prudent for school and public health officials to focus prevention efforts, policies, and monies, on addressing adolescent alcohol use.
Background: Given ever-reducing budgets of community and school substance use prevention programs, there is a call for identifying the first substance in the sequence leading to polydrug use.
Methods: Examining data from a nationally representative sample of 2835 United States 12th graders, we sought to determine (1) the first substance adolescents use; (2) order in which adolescents progress through alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use; and (3) impact of age of initial substance use on lifetime and frequency of illicit substance use.
Results: Alcohol is the most commonly used substance, and the majority of polysubstance using respondents consumed alcohol prior to tobacco or marijuana initiation. Respondents initiating alcohol use in sixth grade reported significantly greater lifetime illicit substance use (M = 1.9, standard deviation [SD] = 1.7, p < .001) and more frequent illicit substance use (M = 6.0, SD = 6.5, p < .001) than those initiating alcohol use in ninth grade or later. Overall, effect sizes for these differences were large (eta squared = 0.30 and 0.28, respectively).
Conclusions: Findings underscore the importance of screening for substance use, even among youth enrolled in elementary/middle school. In addition, schoo
