Drugs –What they Are and What they Do ?
CONSUMPTION OF VARIOUS DRUGS
Two main Categories of Drugs
Why do so many Teenagers start down this potentially Dangerous path ?
- Why do people start?
Causes
TREATMENT
Think again
A drug is any chemical that produces a therapeutic or non-therapeutic effect in the body. Many prescription drugs that produce therapeutic effects may also cause non-therapeutic effects if taken in excess and/or without a specific prescription.
JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY
THE CORE 5E
Chapter 10:
Drug Use and
Delinquency
Marijuana and Hashish
Marijuana
Produced from the leaves of cannabis
sativa
Hashish
Concentrated form of cannabis made of
unadulterated resin from the female plant
Main ingredient in both is tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC)
A mild hallucinogen
Most commonly used drug by teenagers
Large amounts causes distortions that produce
hallucinatory effects
Not physically addictive, but long term effects debatable
Cocaine, Crack & Heroin
Cocaine
Alkaloid derivative of the coca plant
Most powerful natural stimulant that produces euphoria, restlessness,
and excitement
It can be sniffed, snorted, or injected
Immediate feeling or rush is short lived
Crack
Processed street cocaine
Gained popularity in the mid-1980s
Relatively inexpensive
Can provide a powerful high and is highly addictive
Heroin
Most dangerous commonly abused drug
Alcohol
Drug of choice for most teenagers
64% of high school seniors reported abusing it in the past
year
70% say they have tried it
By the 12th grade, 51% reported having been drunk
Negatively impacts society
Factor in nearly half of all murders, suicides, and
accidental deaths
1.4 million drivers are arrested each year for D.U.I.
840,000 more are arrested for alcohol-related offenses
The economic cost is staggering: $185 billion lost lost
each year
Impact on Health
Long term use is linked to depression and physical
ailments, ranging from heart disease to cirrhosis of the
liver
Perceived Benefits
Reduces tension, enhances pleasure, improves social
skills, and some claim it transforms experiences for the
better
Other Drugs
Anesthetic Drugs
Central nervous system depressants
Most widely abused is phencyclidine (PCP), aka angel dust
Inhalants
Some youths inhale vapors that cause a euphoric feeling that is
followed by disorientation, slurred speech, and drowsiness
Sedatives and barbiturates
Depress the central nervous system, creating a sleeplike condition
Tranquillizers
Reduce anxiety and promote relaxation
Overuse can lead to addiction, and withdrawal can be painful and
hazardous
Other Drugs
• Hallucinogens
• Provide vivid distortions of the senses without greatly
disturbing the viewers consciousness
• Examples of common hallucinogens:
• Mescaline
• LSD
• Stimulants
• Synthetic drugs that increase blood pressure, breathing rate,
bodily activity, and elevate mood
• Methedrine is the most widely used dangerous amphetamine
• aka “meth”, “speed”, “crystal meth”
• Economic cost of meth use in the U.S. exceeds $23
billion a year
Other Drugs
Steroids
Anabolic steroids are used to gain muscle bulk and strength
Black market sales approach $1 billion annually
Cause health problems such as liver ailments, tumors, kidney
problems, sexual dysfunc ...

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. Challenges…
"Many schools continue to frame substance use by college
students as an enforcement problem and therefore turn to
policies such as drug testing as the solution. The problem
with this approach is that substance use and addiction are
public health and medical issues. Enforcement strategies
alone are unlikely to solve health problems.“
~ Susan Foster, Vice President and Director of Policy
Research and Analysis, at the National Center on
Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
3. Why do college students
use drugs & alcohol?
• Some feel pressured to use drugs or alcohol at social
gatherings either because everyone else seems to be doing it,
or because they believe it’s the cool thing to do.
• Others believe that drug or alcohol abuse offers a way to
escape from school or work related stress, financial worries or
relationship problems.
• Some feel that alcohol or drugs provide a way to compensate
for feelings of shyness or low self-esteem.
• Sometimes, these drugs act as a substitute for satisfying
relationships, educational accomplishments or self-fulfillment
4. Party vs. Learn…
College students often forget why they are supposed to be
in school.
Is the purpose of university life to party all the time or to
get the most out of the learning environment?
Substance abuse can seriously affect academic performance.
5. The damage…
• Memory loss
• Procrastination
• Physical Health
• Grades plummet
• Nutritional deficits
• Long-term addiction
• Difficulty concentrating
• Ability to get along with others
• Empties your bank account
• Difficulty coping with everyday stressors
• Judgment: unable to make good decisions, to make
them quickly, or to be realistic when you make them
7. Perceived vs. Actual Use
Drugs Perceived Usage (%) Actual Use (%)
Cocaine (i.e., crack, rock,
freebase)
35 1.1
Methamphetamine (i.e.,
crystal, meth, ice, crank)
28 0.3
Sedatives 39 2.2
Hallucinogens (i.e, LSD,
PCP)
34 1.2
Opiates (i.e., heroin,
smack)
27 0.2
Inhalants 28 0.6
Club drugs (i.e., Ecstasy,
GHB, Ketamine)
37 1.1
Other illegal drugs 36 1.0
8. Trends…
• "There has always been fashion to drugs of the day ...
Chasing the problem one drug at a time is a costly game
of whack-a-mole where use of one drug is addressed only
to see the problem pop up in a different form.“
~ Susan Foster, Vice President and Director of Policy
Research and Analysis, at the National Center on
Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
9. “Speed”…
Drugs such as Adderall, which were
developed solely for those properly
diagnosed with the disorder, are
being used recreationally by those
whom admit to not having ADHD,
but either find that they perform
better with its aid or simply enjoy
the high of the prescription drug.
A person with a perfectly normal, functioning frontal cortex
and dopamine levels will experience a heightened sense of
motivation, focus, and concentration.
10. Adderall Warnings
Misuse or abuse of amphetamine may cause serious
(possibly fatal) heart and blood pressure problems.
Amphetamine-type medications can be habit-forming. Use
only as directed. If you use this drug for a long time, you
may become dependent on it and may have withdrawal
symptoms after stopping the drug.
11. Synthetics
Since bursting on the scene a few years ago,
synthetic marijuana (MJ)—often called “Spice”
or “K2”—has become the second most popular
illegal drug among American young people.
12. Dangers of Synthetics
~Emily Bauer
Because the chemicals used in these
products have a high potential for abuse
and no medical benefit, the DEA has
designated five of the most common
active chemicals frequently found in
synthetic marijuana as Schedule I
controlled substances, making it illegal to
sell, buy, or possess them.
But manufacturers seem to be changing
the chemical compounds as fast as
lawmakers enact legislation to ban them.
13. Who is “Molly”?
Molly, short for molecule, is considered to be pure MDMA, unlike
Ecstasy, which generally is laced with other ingredients, such as caffeine or
methamphetamine.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers MDMA to be a
Schedule I controlled substance, which means it has a high potential for
abuse, and no accepted use in medical treatment.
14. The Dangers of Molly…
• “Molly” can cause
confusion, anxiety, depression, paranoia, sleep
problems, and drug craving, tremors, involuntary teeth
clenching, muscle
cramps, nausea, faintness, chills, sweating, and blurred
vision.
• It can also interfere with the ability to regulate body
temperature, resulting in a sharp increase in body
temperature (hyperthermia), leading to liver, kidney and
cardiovascular failure.
• Severe dehydration can result from the combination of
the drug’s effects and the crowded and hot conditions in
which the drug is often taken
