Drug related deaths

Andrew Brown

The document discusses rising drug-related deaths in the UK. It notes concerns from the drug and alcohol sector about increasing deaths due to factors like more heroin users leaving services, less outreach work, an aging user population, and higher strength heroin. Some areas reported that increased access to naloxone, which reverses overdoses, prevented deaths. Data showed drug-related deaths rising in some regions from 2013 to 2014. A professional said most deaths were from long-term organ damage in aging opiate users rather than overdoses.

Cigarette smoking causes over 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, nearly one in five of all deaths, by increasing the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and COPD. Smoking also raises the risk of many other health issues like tuberculosis, eye diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, and more. The death toll from smoking is higher each year than from HIV, illegal drugs, alcohol, car accidents, and firearms combined. Both smokers and those around them who breathe in secondhand smoke are at risk for serious illness or early death.

Alcohol-related mortality in deprived UK citiesworrying tre.docx

nettletondevon

Alcohol-related mortality in deprived UK cities: worrying trends in young women challenge recent national downward trends Deborah Shipton, Bruce Whyte, David Walsh Glasgow Centre for Population Health, Glasgow, Larnarkshire, UK Correspondence to Deborah Shipton, Glasgow Centre for Population Health, House 6, 94 Elmbank Street, Glasgow, Larnarkshire G2 4DL, UK, [email protected] uk Received 27 February 2013 Revised 11 May 2013 Accepted 29 May 2013 Published Online First 18 July 2013 To cite: Shipton D, Whyte B, Walsh D. J Epidemiol Community Health 2013;67:805–812. ABSTRACT Background Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, has high levels of deprivation and a poor-health profile compared with other parts of Europe, which cannot be fully explained by the high levels of deprivation. The ‘excess’ premature mortality in Glasgow is now largely attributable to deaths from alcohol, drugs, suicide and violence. Methods Alcohol-related mortality in Glasgow from 1980 to 2011 was examined relative to the equally deprived UK cities of Manchester and Liverpool with the aim of identifying differences across the cities, with respect to gender, age and birth cohort, that could help explain the ‘excess’ mortality in Glasgow. Results In the 1980s, alcohol-related mortality in Glasgow was three times higher than in Manchester and Liverpool. Alcohol-related mortality increased in all three cities over the subsequent three decades, but a sharp rise in deaths in the early 1990s was unique to Glasgow. The increase in numbers of deaths in Glasgow was greater than in Manchester and Liverpool, but there was little difference in the pattern of alcohol-related deaths, by sex or birth cohort that could explain the excess mortality in Glasgow. The recent modest decrease in alcohol-related mortality was largely experienced by all birth cohorts, with the notable exception of the younger cohort (born between 1970 and 1979): women in this cohort across all three cities experienced disproportionate increases in alcohol-related mortality. Conclusions It is imperative that this early warning sign in young women in the UK is acted on if deaths from alcohol are to reduce in the long term. INTRODUCTION Scotland has the highest working age mortality rate in western Europe;1 improvements in the nation’s health faltered in the 1950s2 when overall life expectancy in the country increased more slowly than in other comparable European countries. The excess poor health in Scotland is in part due to greater deprivation in the city, supporting the call to reduce material and social inequalities.3 However, the excess mortality in Scotland cannot be fully explained by either deprivation4 or the country’s postindustrial past.5 Indeed, in the past few decades the health gap between Scotland and the rest of Great Britain—that cannot be explained by deprivation—has increased.4 The phrase ‘Scottish effect’ has been coined to describe this unexplained health gap. This excess poor health is al.

Drug-related deaths in England and Wales rose 20% between 2012 and 2013, with over half caused by opiates and 30% mentioning alcohol use. Drug deaths account for 1 in 7 deaths among people in their 20s and 30s. Local authorities in England spent over £400 million on substance misuse programs in 2013-14, with 57% directed to adult drug treatment and 20% to services for at-risk youth. Random drug testing found that 8% of UK prisoners tested positive for drugs in 2013-14, with some prisons reporting over 20% of inmates testing positive.

This document discusses challenges in accurately measuring alcohol consumption at a population level. It is difficult to get a representative sample of all drinkers in population surveys due to issues with self-reporting. Sales data may provide a more reliable estimate but can overestimate consumption due to factors like tourists' purchases being included. Even retrospective analyses of longitudinal studies face issues if questionnaire wording and measurements of drinks are not consistent over time. Accurately monitoring consumption across different groups is challenging for informing policy.

An Analysis Of UK Drug Policy

Nathan Mathis

This document provides an analysis of UK drug policy prepared by Peter Reuter of the University of Maryland and Alex Stevens of the University of Kent for the UK Drug Policy Commission in April 2007. It summarizes the nature of the UK's drug problem, including trends in drug use and related harms. It then analyzes the impact of current UK drug policies, which aim to reduce drug use and related harms through enforcement, prevention, treatment, and harm reduction. The report finds that while treatment expansion has benefited individuals, overall drug use and problems have been stable at historically high levels. It concludes that more evaluation is needed of enforcement efforts and that policy focus should be on further reducing harms through treatment and harm reduction.

Prevention and reduction - schools

Public Health England

This document summarizes strategies that schools can use to prevent youth crime and antisocial behavior based on international evidence. Effective prevention interventions for individuals work with smaller groups, are delivered by program originators, and use cognitive behavioral techniques for higher risk youth aged 12 or more. Schools can create an environment for prevention through reorganizing grades/classes, altering classroom management, improving school discipline policies, and teaching social skills using cognitive behavioral methods. Interventions that do not work and should be avoided include those focused on coercion/control, boot camps, unstructured counseling or training, and programs that group high-risk students without structure.

The document discusses drug, alcohol, and substance abuse among young people in London and the UK. It notes that drug use results in high costs to the London Ambulance Service and police. While most schools provide drug education once a year or less, proven programs like Life Skills Training that are implemented in US schools have been shown to reduce substance abuse and have a cost benefit ratio of $25 saved for every $1 invested. The document calls for increased funding for early intervention and prevention programs in schools to address substance abuse among youth.

Early Intervention

Public Health England

This document summarizes a social norms intervention project conducted in Stockton, UK aimed at reducing risky behaviors among youth. Researchers surveyed over 1,600 students aged 11-14 across 8 secondary schools to establish baselines on sex, drugs, and alcohol. They found most students overestimate their peers' risky behaviors. The researchers then designed and distributed personalized posters, stickers, and other materials to each school displaying accurate social norms data. After two years, they resurveyed students and found the intervention effective in further delaying or preventing risky behaviors. The document outlines lessons learned, including ensuring teacher support and constantly refreshing materials to maintain interest.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga Gastrointestinal Infections GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission. Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others. These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others. The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition). To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH. Gastritis and Gastric Health Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans. Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively. In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively. Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient. One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells. Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery. The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria: Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases, Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus, Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity, Economical and feasible availability for patients . Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells. Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination. There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo. The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy

Dr. Sumit KUMAR

Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options. Diagnosis and Staging The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells. Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions. Treatment Options Endocrine Therapy Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include: Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events. Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen. Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops. Combination Therapies Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include: Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer. Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
