Inhalants drugs and society
Inhalants are common household products that some teenagers intentionally inhale to get high. Solvents, gases, aerosols, and nitrites are examples of inhalants. Teenagers aged 14-15 are most at risk, with 75% of initiates being under 18. Inhalant abuse can damage the brain, body, and cause death from issues like asphyxiation. Education is needed to prevent increasing abuse among youth by teaching consequences like memory impairment, organ damage, and sudden death.
INHALANT ABUSE
1. Inhalants are common household items that are inhaled to get high but can be dangerous when abused as they replace oxygen in the bloodstream and may cause death.
2. Symptoms of inhalant abuse include slurred speech, nausea, irritability, red eyes, lack of coordination, and empty chemical containers.
3. Relapse from inhalant abuse is common due to the inexpensive and easy access to these substances.

Inhalants are volatile substances that produce psychoactive effects when inhaled. Common inhalants include gases found in household products like aerosols and nitrates that dilate blood vessels. Inhalant use can cause both short-term effects like lack of coordination and long-term effects including paralysis or death. Inhalants are also considered gateway drugs that can lead to use of other more dangerous substances. The document describes a story of a teenage girl who was critically injured in a car accident after the driver sniffed computer cleaner, leaving her in a semi-coma.

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.

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. Full Handwritten notes of RA by Ayush Kumar M pharm - Al ameen college of pha...
