Methamphetamine is a highly addictive psychostimulant that affects the central nervous system. It causes the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and activates the cardiovascular and nervous systems. While it is prescribed to treat conditions like ADHD and obesity in limited cases under the brand name Desoxyn, methamphetamine is more commonly abused as an illegal street drug known as "ice" or "crystal" that produces feelings of euphoria. Long term meth abuse is associated with severe health risks and addiction.

Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It comes as a white powder or clear crystal chunks that are smoked or injected. The drug has a long history but became popular in the US in the 1950s. It is produced illegally by extracting ingredients from cold medicines and combining them with toxic chemicals. Short term effects include increased activity and heart rate, while long term use can cause physical and mental health issues. Meth is addictive and illegal, with prison sentences and fines for possession.
Crystal Meth
Crystal Meth is a colorless and odorless drug that is usually smoked but can also be snorted or injected. It causes intense but short-lived euphoric effects along with potentially dangerous physical and psychological side effects such as erratic behavior, increased heart rate, paranoia, and long-term health issues like brain damage or psychosis. Chronic use is associated with issues like tooth decay, skin sores, and weight loss. It goes by many street names and its effects, while similar to cocaine, are longer lasting.
Methamphetamine
This document provides an overview of methamphetamine (meth) including its history, production, effects on health, and status as a public health issue. It was originally developed in the late 1800s but gained popularity as an alternative to ephedrine during WWII when it was given to soldiers to increase alertness. Today it is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant that can be smoked, injected, or swallowed. Long term use leads to many health issues and it is considered a major public health concern globally due to its widespread abuse and association with organized crime.
Meth Powerpoint
Crystal meth is a highly addictive stimulant that affects dopamine levels in the brain, causing feelings of euphoria. Long-term use can lead to psychosis, aggression, impaired motor skills, decreased brain function, and irregular heartbeats. Meth users have a drastically reduced life expectancy of only 5 years after beginning use due to effects on brain, heart, and immune system functions.
Drug abuse prathyusha
Drug abuse refers to using drugs in a way that deviates from approved medical use, while drug addiction involves compulsive drug use that takes priority over other activities. Commonly abused drugs include depressants like alcohol and barbiturates, stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines, hallucinogens like LSD, marijuana, inhalants, and steroids. Cocaine works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine and other neurotransmitters, while morphine acts on opioid receptors to inhibit adenylate cyclase and produce sedation. Counseling patients and encouraging lifestyle changes can help those struggling with drug abuse and addiction.
Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive stimulant that is chemically similar to amphetamine. It is typically taken orally, snorted, smoked, or injected and produces an immediate euphoric high followed by long term negative health effects. Long term methamphetamine abuse can lead to malnutrition, severe tooth decay, heart or brain damage, stroke, psychosis and depression. While teen use of methamphetamine has declined in recent years, it remains a dangerous drug with potentially serious health consequences from both short and long term use.

Project 2-Meth
Methamphetamine was first created in 1919 in Japan and was used by soldiers during WWII to stay awake. It later spread worldwide and its use became illegal in the US in 1970. Meth can be taken by injection, inhalation, smoking, or orally and goes by various street names. It is a Schedule II drug that carries risks of abuse and addiction. Meth contains toxic chemicals like antifreeze, ammonia, and battery acid. Its short and long term effects include increased heart rate and weight loss, as well as memory loss, paranoia, and damage to blood vessels over time. While it has limited medical uses, meth can destroy lives and relationships and negatively impact society.
Shake & bake
This document discusses the evaluation and management of first time pediatric seizures. It covers indications for laboratory tests, imaging, and EEG for children presenting with afebrile or febrile seizures. The main points are:
- Laboratory tests are generally not needed unless there are specific clinical concerns. Toxicology screening should be considered if exposure is suspected.
- Lumbar puncture has limited value for evaluating first seizures and is only recommended if meningitis or encephalitis is suspected.
- EEG is recommended to help determine seizure type and risk of recurrence.
- Neuroimaging is only emergently indicated if a serious condition needs to be ruled out. Non-urgent imaging may be considered for children
Methamphetamines
Methamphetamines were first created in the 1890s in Germany and later used by Japanese and American militaries to keep pilots awake. In the postwar era, meth became popular as a diet aid and antidepressant before being made illegal in the 1970s. Mexican drug cartels then began trafficking meth into the US through the Southwest, producing it in makeshift labs. Meth is addictive and can be smoked, snorted, or injected, producing feelings of euphoria and energy but also physical and mental health risks. Long-term meth use often damages relationships and health.
Pseudoephedrine
Pseudoephedrine is an over-the-counter decongestant that is also used to make methamphetamine illegally. Regulations have been implemented to restrict pseudoephedrine sales and track purchases in order to curb meth production. These regulations led to a 50% decline in meth lab seizures between 2005-2006 according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. Additional measures are needed to further address the problem such as drug reformulations and stricter penalties.
meth_Workplace_Presentation_11-28-06
Methamphetamine use poses risks in the workplace. Approximately 3% of American workers report using illicit drugs while at work, including methamphetamine. Meth can impair work performance and increase risks of accidents, injuries, and turnover. It is important for employers to establish drug-free workplace policies, train supervisors, and provide access to employee assistance programs to help workers struggling with meth addiction. Treatment and recovery are possible, though it takes time and ongoing support.
Yaba
This document summarizes information about the drug Yaba, which is a combination of methamphetamine and caffeine. It provides details on the chemical structure of Yaba, its history of being created by German chemists for soldiers, and how it looks as brightly colored tablets. The document discusses the various ways Yaba is used, its potential side effects like euphoria and paranoia, and physical and mental health risks. Doctors are quoted warning that Yaba is more harmful than heroin and can damage organs over time. Treatment options mentioned include cognitive behavioral therapy, counseling, and pharmacological approaches used for other drug dependencies.
The Meth Pwr Point
Methamphetamine, also known as meth, is a highly addictive psycho stimulant drug that is easily manufactured using common household chemicals and medicines containing pseudoephedrine. Meth causes serious physical and psychological effects such as paranoia, rotting teeth, sleep deprivation, weight loss, hallucinations, blurred vision, violent behavior, stroke, manic depression, heart attacks, rashes, brain damage, and body sores. Meth labs are dangerous and people should report any signs of a clandestine lab to local authorities without confronting individuals or moving items at the site.

Methamphetamine by Rand L. Kannenberg
The document provides information about methamphetamine, including its history, chemical properties, slang terms, and clinical uses. It discusses how methamphetamine was first synthesized in the late 1800s and was used medically to treat conditions like asthma, obesity, and narcolepsy. It was also given to soldiers during wars. The document outlines trends in illegal methamphetamine manufacturing and distribution in the US since the 1960s and provides over 100 slang terms used to refer to the drug.
Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine was first used in WWII to prevent drowsiness in soldiers. It later became popular as a diet aid and antidepressant in the 1950s. In the 1960s, its use grew as injectable meth became widespread. Today, it is commonly produced in home labs or imported from Mexico and Asia, despite its illegal and harmful physical, mental, and social effects on the body's systems.
The Effects Of Methamphetamine On The Brain
Methamphetamine affects neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and serotonin by blocking their reabsorption and increasing their release, causing dangerous imbalances in the brain. It is highly addictive due to inducing feelings of euphoria by raising dopamine levels, and subsequent crashes when levels fall. Long-term use kills neurotransmitter cells, permanently altering emotions and reward processing and increasing risks of mental health issues like depression.

Ecstacy ppt
MDMA, also known as ecstasy or Molly, is a synthetic psychoactive drug with both stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. It was first synthesized in 1912 but became popular as a recreational street drug in the 1980s. MDMA acts by increasing serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain, producing feelings of euphoria, empathy, and emotional closeness. However, overuse can lead to long-term negative effects like depression, anxiety, memory loss, and even death from overdose. While some experience withdrawal symptoms, there are currently no pharmacological treatments for MDMA addiction.
Designer drugs
Researches call these "designer drugs" and have been specifically developed to produce a high or a euphoric state in people who take them.
ANTIDEPRESSANTS
Depression is a treatable mental illness characterized by changes in mood and loss of interest. Antidepressants work by increasing levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain. There are several classes of antidepressants including tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and atypical antidepressants. Each class has different mechanisms of action, side effects, and prescribing considerations. Antidepressants generally take 4-6 weeks to take effect and should be tapered gradually rather than stopped abruptly.

CNS - disorders , symptoms and treatment
This document discusses depression and its treatment with antidepressants. It first defines depression as a mood disorder causing persistent sadness and loss of interest. It then discusses several theories of depression's causes. Symptoms include changes in sleep, appetite, and thoughts of suicide. Depression is diagnosed based on symptoms lasting over a month and may be caused by medical or psychiatric conditions. Treatment involves psychotherapy, antidepressant medications like SSRIs and SNRIs, or older medications like TCAs and MAOIs. The document focuses on the mechanisms and side effects of various classes of antidepressants.
ANTIDEPRESSANTS.pptx
Depression is caused by a deficit of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain. Antidepressants work by inhibiting the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, increasing their availability. Tricyclic antidepressants like imipramine were the first developed but have more side effects. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are now preferred as they are more tolerable while still effective. Antidepressants are used to treat major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, neuropathic pain, premature ejaculation, and other conditions. The choice of antidepressant depends on individual factors and side effect profiles.
Antidepressants ppt final
This document discusses antidepressants and their mechanisms and uses. It first outlines several hypotheses for the causes of depression, including reduced levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. It then describes the types of antidepressants, focusing on tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). TCAs act on both serotonin and norepinephrine, while SSRIs only target serotonin. The document contrasts TCAs and SSRIs, noting that TCAs have a narrower therapeutic index and greater side effects like dry mouth and arrhythmias, while SSRIs have fewer side effects and a wider safety margin. Finally, it lists several approved indications
CNS Stimulants.pptx
This document discusses central nervous system stimulants and their neurobiology related to drug abuse and addiction. It describes how stimulants activate the mesolimbic dopamine system and explains dependence and withdrawal. It outlines the molecular targets of addictive drugs and classes them based on their mechanisms of action. Nonaddictive hallucinogenic drugs are also discussed along with specific psychomotor stimulants like amphetamines.

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.

Methamphetamine drug
- 2. › Methamphetamine also known meth, N- methylamphetamine is a psychostimulant of the amphetamine class of drugs. This synthetic stimulant affects the central nervous system. › Street names:-ice, crystal, glass, tik, chalk,crank,yaba,speed, Poor Man's Cocaine,etc. › It causes the release of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin and activates the cardiovascular and central nervous systems. › Methamphetamine and its metabolite amphetamine are structurally related, differing only by the presence of a methyl group. › White or off-white powder, odorless, bitter-tasting. › Schedule II drug. › Sold under the name Desoxyn. › Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) in children. › Short term treatment of obesity. › Also prescribed off-label for narcolepsy.
- 4. › Following oral administration, methamphetamine is readily absorbed into the bloodstream. › Methamphetamine's high lipophilicity also allows it to cross the blood brain barrier faster than other stimulants, where it is more stable against degradation by monoamine oxidase (MAO). › In the brain, a primary action of methamphetamine is to elevate the levels of extracellular monoamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) by promoting their release from the nerve endings. › However it is not clear how methamphetamine causes neurotransmitter release, but it appears to involve redistribution of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles (via the vesicular monoamine transporter VMAT2) to the neuronal cytoplasm and the reverse transport of neurotransmitters through the plasma membrane transporter into the extracellular space. › This inversion leads to a release of these transmitters from the vesicles to the cytoplasm and from the cytoplasm to the synapse
- 6. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) › Generally seen in children, but teenagers and adults also show ADHD. › Difficulty paying attention and focusing, sitting still, depression, lack of sleep, learning disabilities, behavior problems › Affects 3 - 5% of school children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls. › Desoxyn is prescribed to treat ADHD in children six years old and older. › 5 mg Desoxyn once or twice a day is recommended. › It has calming effect when used at the dosage intended. › It helps ADHD patients by giving them improved impulse control, improved concentration, decreased irritability, and decreased anxiety.
- 7. Exogenous Obesity › Desoxyn is also recommended for weight loss. › This class of drugs used in obesity is known as an anorectic. › Desoxyn causes appetite suppression. › One 5 mg tablet should be taken one/half hour before each meal. › Treatment should not exceed a few weeks in duration. Narcolepsy › Narcolepsy is a condition in which the person falls into deep sleep during its attacks. › Meth is used in treating this condition due to one of its effects of keeping the senses awake. › Therefore the episodes of deep sleep are diminished during treatment.
- 8. › Methamphetamine is a highly stimulant drug. It’s effect is similar to cocaine. › It gives feeling of euphoria, increased libido, alertness, concentration, increased energy, increased self-esteem, self-confidence. › It is highly addictive drug and it is difficult to quit. › Routes of administration:- Ingestion (Orally), Snorted, Injected, Smoked. › Meth addiction is rapidly spreading in all countries.US population is badly affected with meth. › 5.3% of Americans aged 12 and older reported trying methamphetamine at least once. › It is easy to make meth at home or in illegal labs by using chemicals like diluted HCl,NaOH,Ethyl ether, etc. › In 1970, methamphetamine was regulated in the Controlled Substances Act in the U. S., and a public education campaign was mounted against it.
