Drug addiction is a disease that affects the brain and behavior, causing an uncontrollable urge to use drugs despite the harm they may cause. It involves compulsive drug use even in the face of financial, emotional or health problems. The brain's reward system is hijacked by drugs that flood it with dopamine, making the user want to repeat the experience and "chase that high." This can damage areas of the brain related to judgment, decision making, memory and learning. Cocaine in particular can harm the heart, brain, lungs and other organs, sometimes causing sudden death due to its short half-life and metabolism in the body.

Many people use drugs and alcohol to self-medicate the symptoms of mental illnesses like anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. However, prolonged substance use can worsen underlying mental health conditions. Effective treatment requires addressing both issues simultaneously. The high rates of co-occurrence indicate that those with mental illness are more vulnerable to developing addictions, and vice versa, as both conditions involve similar dysfunctions in the brain's reward and stress response systems.

Respiration
This document discusses respiration and the pleura. It defines respiration and lists normal respiratory rates by age group. Respiration involves external respiration between the lungs and blood and internal respiration between blood and tissues. The pleura is a bi-layered membrane enclosing each lung. The intra-pleural space between the layers contains a thin film of fluid that lubricates the layers and creates negative pressure within the pleural cavity. Potential issues involving the pleural space include pneumothorax, hydrothorax, hemothorax, and pyothorax.
Anatomy of lungs
The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located in the chest. The trachea divides into bronchi which further divide into smaller branches called bronchioles. Each lung is suspended from the mediastinum and surrounded by a pleural cavity. The right lung has three lobes divided by two fissures while the left lung has two lobes divided by one fissure. The bronchial tree begins with the trachea and supplies air to the alveoli.
scapula pdf
The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade, is a flat triangular bone located at the back of the trunk. It connects the upper arm bone (humerus) to the collarbone (clavicle). Along with the clavicle and sternum, the scapula forms the shoulder girdle. The scapula has several processes including the spine, acromion, and coracoid processes. It articulates with the humerus at the glenohumeral joint and with the clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint. Several important muscles like the deltoid, trapezius, and rotator cuff muscles originate on the scapula. F
Clavicle mcqs pdf
The document contains 17 multiple choice questions about the anatomy of the clavicle bone. Specifically, it tests knowledge about the structures that the clavicle articulates with to form joints, its shape as a bone, locations of anatomical features like the conoid tubercle and trapezoid ridge, the muscles that originate and insert on the clavicle, and facts about its ossification. The questions cover topics like the clavicle transmitting weight to other bones, its classification as a short bone, and it being the first bone to start ossifying.
anatomy of clavicle
The pectoral girdle connects the upper limbs to the axial skeleton and consists of the clavicle and scapula in humans. The clavicle is an S-shaped bone that connects the sternum to the scapula. It has a lateral end that articulates with the acromion process of the scapula and a medial end that articulates with the manubrium of the sternum. The clavicle provides support for the shoulder joint and allows for a wide range of arm movement. It is attached to muscles like the deltoid, trapezius, pectoralis major, and sternocleidomastoid.
Anatomy of upper limb
The document discusses the anatomy of the upper limb, including its subdivision into six regions, bones that make up its osteology, and major joints. The upper limb is multi-jointed, freely movable at the shoulder joint, and part of the appendicular skeleton. It is subdivided into the shoulder region, arm, cubital fossa, forearm, wrist, and hand. The osteology includes bones such as the clavicle, scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpel bones, and metacarpal bones. Major joints of the upper limb are the shoulder, elbow, distal radioulnar, wrist, hand, fingers, and their inter- components.
Pharynx
The pharynx is a 12-13 cm long funnel-shaped tube that extends from the posterior nares to the cricoid cartilage. It lies superior to the larynx, posterior to the nasal and oral cavities, and anterior to the cervical vertebrae. The pharynx is divided into 3 portions - the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. The nasopharynx extends from the posterior nares to the soft palate. The oropharynx extends from the soft palate to the hyoid bone. The laryngopharynx extends from the hyoid bone, opening into the esophagus posteriorly and the larynx anteriorly.
Anatomy of upper respiratory tract part 1
The upper respiratory tract includes the nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and trachea. The nasal cavity contains four paired paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid) which are air filled cavities that lighten the weight of the head and support immune defense. The external nose has a bony and cartilaginous skeleton and contains the nasal vestibule, respiratory region, and olfactory region. Projecting conchae in the nasal cavity increase surface area for humidifying inspired air.
Drug addiction
This document discusses drug addiction and various types of drugs. It defines addiction as a chronic relapsing brain disorder characterized by compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. It then discusses symptoms of addiction like intense drug cravings and needing more of the drug over time. Specific drugs discussed include marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids and bath salts, and stimulants like meth and cocaine. For each, signs of use and potential effects are outlined. The document aims to provide information about different drugs and drug addiction.
Personal protective equipment
This document discusses personal protective equipment (PPE) used in healthcare settings. It describes different types of PPE including gloves, gowns, masks, goggles, and face shields. Gloves are used to protect hands and prevent cross-contamination. Gowns and aprons protect healthcare workers from infectious liquids and solids. Masks, including procedural and surgical masks, protect from infectious droplets. Goggles and face shields provide eye and face protection from hazards. The proper sequence of removing PPE and performing hand hygiene is also outlined.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
