This chapter discusses opioid (narcotic) analgesics and antagonists. It describes how opioid analgesics work by binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system and spinal cord. The chapter categorizes opioids and explains their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacologic effects, adverse reactions, addiction potential, overdose, withdrawal, drug interactions, and allergic reactions. It also provides examples of red flags that could indicate a potential for addiction.
I am sharing this ppt on topic Narcotic Analgesia and it's antagonist. In that we include the Narcotic Receptors, Narcotic Analgesic introduction and mechanism of Action also i was explained about Narcotic Antagonist.
Opiates are made from opium, which comes from the poppy plant. They can have important medical benefits—they're powerful painkillers, they are sometimes prescribed to control severe diarrhea, and they can also be found in cough medicine. Maybe you've heard of drugs called Vicodin, morphine or codeine. These are examples of opiates. When used properly for medical purposes, they can be very helpful. Opiates used without a doctor's prescription or in ways other than how they are prescribed, can be dangerous and addictive.
Heroin is another example of an opiate, but it isn't used as a medicine—it's used to get high.

A presentation on Analgesics which includes basic terminologies, mechanisms and pathway for pain, pharmacology of pain receptors and synthesis of related medicinal compounds.
Opioid analgesics are a class of drugs that are used to relieve pain. They are effective in treating both acute and chronic pain, but they can also be addictive and have serious side effects. It is important to use opioid analgesics with caution and to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Note to student: This is a worked example paper for the “Rapid Review” assignments in Weeks
Three, Four, and Five of PSY630: Psychopharmacology. Your paper does not need to (and
probably should not) look just like this example paper. Depending on the drug you chose, your
paper may be more complicated, involve more subsections, and cover different topics with more
or less depth. This example paper is meant to give you a general idea of what to include and
what depth of detail to use. Ask your instructor if you have any concerns.
IBUPROFEN 2
Ibuprofen
General Description
Ibuprofen belongs to the larger class of drugs referred to as the non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and also includes naproxen, aspirin, indomethacin and celecoxib,
among others. Ibuprofen was chosen as a paper topic because of its’ widespread over-the-
counter (OTC) use. Ibuprofen has, as the name NSAID suggests, anti-inflammatory effects
making it useful in a wide variety of disorders where the inflammatory response needs to be
suppressed. Relatedly, it is also an analgesic, partly due to its’ anti-inflammatory effect which is
central to many disorders and injuries which cause pain, but also to a separate secondary
mechanism which is poorly understood. It is also an anti-pyretic and useful for treating fever.
Steroids also reduce inflammation; however they have a large number of broad side effects
including immune-suppression which make NSAIDS like ibuprofen a better choice for many
conditions. Ibuprofen and many other NSAIDs are also superior to aspirin in people allergic to
aspirin and other salicylates (Atchinson, Herndon, & Rusie, 2013; Roda, Bagán, Soriano, &
Romero, 2007).
Specific indications include: general relief of mild to moderate pain, menstrual pain, fever,
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, headache, migraine, dental pain. It sees use across a wide
variety of medical conditions and procedures.
Mechanism of Action
Ibuprofen and the other NSAIDs reduce the production of prostaglandins. These
substances are produced by injured tissues or tissues inflamed by some type of immune response.
Specifically, ibuprofen inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). However, COX has more
IBUPROFEN 3
than one form and is directly or indirectly involved in the activity of other biological processes
producing a variety of side effects (Roda et al., 2007).
Dosage, Administration, Absorption, and Metabolism
Ibuprofen is administered by mouth, although rectal suppositories are available for those
unable to swallow. The dose for an adult is 200-400mg three times daily for OTC use. Under
medical supervision doses up to 800mg four times a day may be given. It is typically taken with
food to avoid stomach upset. After being taken ibuprofen enters the blood ...
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
