Drug addiction: A complex neurological diseaseSHIVANEE VYAS
Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disease that requires integrated treatment of the mind, body, and spirit. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain, they change its structure and how it works. Without treatment, these brain changes can be long-lasting. Addiction is chronic, it is progressive, and if left untreated, it can be fatal.
Individuals struggling with drug addiction often feel as though they cannot function normally without their drug of choice. This can lead to a wide range of issues that impact professional goals, personal relationships, and overall health. Over time, these serious side effects can be progressive, and if left untreated, fatal.

Common drugs, how to prevent drug use, and penalties for drug use in the Philippines are also addressed.
Drug addiction is a disease that affects the brain and leads to an inability to control drug use. It can start with experimental or recreational drug use and progress to more frequent use. Drug trafficking involves the illegal cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sale of controlled substances globally. Drug addiction can damage the immune system and cause health issues like heart attacks, liver failure and strokes. Diagnosis requires evaluation by medical professionals and may involve drug tests. While there is no cure, treatment options can help overcome addiction through programs, counseling and follow-up to prevent relapse.
The causes and effects of drug addiction circumscribed both the reasons for a person to start using drugs and the aftermath of becoming a addicted. Drug addiction doesn’t pose fragility or flawed self control. It creates a vicious cycle that undeniably precipitates anomaly in the brain, resulting in potent cravings and involuntary inclination prompting to use more drugs.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...Nursing Mastery
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

●Conduction System of the Heart
●What is ECG or EKG?
●ECG Leads
●Normal waves of ECG.
●Dimensions of ECG.
● Abnormalities of ECG
CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:

By transplanting differentiated cells into affected brain areas, Dr. Greene aims to address the root cause of Parkinson's. His work also investigates the neuroprotective benefits of stem cells, offering hope for effective, long-term treatments. Discover how Dr. Greene's pioneering efforts could transform Parkinson's Disease therapy.
2. Substance abuse refers to the harmful use of
psychoactive substances, such as alcohol or drugs,
that can lead to addiction, adverse health
outcomes, and social and behavioral problems.
Substance abuse can take many forms, from
occasional recreational use to chronic, compulsive
use that interferes with an individual's ability to
function in daily life. Substance use damages the
mental health of individuals who use it as a coping
mechanism to deal with their life problems.
Introduction
3. Environment: Environmental factors such as a
family's beliefs and attitudes towards drug use
and exposure to peers encouraging drug use
can increase the risk of initial drug consumption.
Genetics: Genetics can also play a significant
role in addiction. Inherited traits may affect the
progression of addiction once an individual has
started using drugs. These factors can increase
the likelihood of habit, but effective prevention
and treatment efforts can help individuals
overcome drug addiction and lead healthy lives.
CausesofSubstanceAbuse
5. The first stage of addiction is
typically experimentation or
occasional substance use. At
this stage, individuals may use
the substance for social or
recreational purposes and
may not display any
significant signs of addiction.
Experimentation
6. The second stage of addiction is
characterized by regular substance
abuse, often in higher quantities or
more frequently than before.
Individuals in this stage may begin to
prioritize their substance use over
other activities and may experience
cravings for the substance.

experience negative consequences
related to their substance use, such as
relationship problems, work or school
difficulties, or legal issues. Despite
these consequences, individuals may
continue using the substance and
have difficulty controlling it.

8. The fourth stage of addiction is
dependence, characterized by
physical and psychological
dependence on the substance. At this
stage, individuals may experience
withdrawal symptoms when
attempting to stop or reduce their
substance use and may require an
increased dosage to achieve the
desired effects.
Dependency
9. The final stage of addiction is
addiction or substance use disorder,
marked by persistent and compulsive
substance use despite negative
consequences. Individuals with
addiction may experience significant
impairment in their daily lives and
