Teenage substance use is threatening the lives of our children. It is high time we stop ignoring the problem as a community, as educators and certainly as parents. As a parent myself I understand the many problems parents face when it comes to their children and the subject of drug abuse.
Parents should talk to their kids about drug abuse and its harmful effects to save them from this dangerous habit. It has become a serious health problem now a days. Most substance abusers would deny that they are using medicines
Substance abuse and addiction are causing problems for millions of people every day. It can cause problems in family life, careers, health and friendships with people becoming addicted to a whole host of things like alcohol, illegal & legal drugs, unhealthy foods, tobacco and many more. Addiction happens for many reasons and while some people can manage to drink or take drugs experimentally, many others sadly fall into the trap. Substance abuse in teenagers is on rise and they are becoming habitual to life taking drugs like molly, cocaine etc.
The use of drugs can be very destructive not only to teens but also their families. Therefore, the earlier the intervention, the better it will be. But the problem is that most often, substance abuse in teenagers have already been happening months or years before their parents know about it. Even when their parents are aware about their teens using drugs, some just take it for granted or even underestimate the level of involvement of their child.
An estimated 2.8 million Americans aged 50+ meet the criteria for substance abuse disorder. This number is expected to reach 5.7 million by 2020. Caron’s new survey on seniors and addiction shows a lack of knowledge around this issue. Check out the infographic to learn more.

Introduction
The long-term and life-changing effects of parental substance abuse on their children are well-documented. One of these young people's many dangers is a lack of stable housing. A child who does not live with either biological parent is at far greater risk for adverse health and safety outcomes due to parental substance misuse. Even though research shows that these young individuals are more likely to be homeless, little is known about their real living situations. Illicit drug use by parents has a negative impact on all aspects of their lives, including their ability to care for their children (Lloyd, 2018). Parents who use drugs are more likely to break the law and neglect their children, which can lead to the latter becoming homeless and the former needing the assistance of child welfare agencies.
Background
Drug addiction can devastate a person's physical and mental health. Substance abuse inevitably results in dependence on the abused substance to the point where the user is unable to function normally without it. Alcohol and illegal narcotics are two examples of often abused substances. These chemicals are highly addictive, and their suppliers sometimes have difficulty breaking free of their association with their customers' drug use. Limiting their use is challenging because they're always tempted to partake owing to the substances' euphoric effects (Lipari & Van Horn, 2017). A person's health, among other aspects of their existence, often suffers significantly due to their addiction to such substances. Social and environmental consequences are two more examples. Most drug users would rather be tolerant of their drugs' effects than immune to them. The effects of substance misuse are not confined to the person who uses them; instead, they permeate all aspects of society, including homes, schools, and businesses.
Parents are part of the population known to engage in the intake of illicit drugs, which might be contributed by the challenging economic problems and stressful workplaces. Adults that take illicit drugs and even alcohol might be using it as a remedy to the problems they are experiencing in their workplaces and the financial challenges taking them to be addicted to them and become a serious menace. Some workplaces are becoming a problem for most employees, especially those with families, to provide food to them because of the depression and stress experienced in the workplace. Most of them decide to engage in substance and illicit drug abuse instead of resigning. The problem of illicit drug use moves to their families, where some become violent, and some also become ir ...
The moment teens start to be more exposed to substance consumption be it alcohol, nicotine or any other drugs, it is really important to approach the situation with calm and seriousness. This presentation contains a few ideas for the parents regarding how they should face such a situation.
You will learn how parents, who themselves use medical marijuana, have further considerations as they help their kids understand these concepts. This webinar is co-hosted by Chanda Sinclair of the Portland Department of Substance Abuse Prevention and WCM’s Director of Education Becky DeKeuster. Join us for a lively discussion and a Q & A session, with helpful tips & tools for having honest, age-appropriate discussions with kids from toddlers to teens.
Before beginning my work on this book, I had many parents asking if it was really necessary to even teach drug prevention to children as young as eight. The answer to that question is a resounding, “Yes!” Studies have shown that children as young as six are smoking marijuana, taking prescription pills, and drinking alcohol.

More than 60% of school kids surveyed reported that drugs were sold, used or kept at school. Why parental awareness and drug testing are vitally important to the safety of our teens.
Synthetic Marijuana - This Spice is not found in your kitchen cabinetJennifer Foster
Synthetic Marijuana, or Spice - easy access and the erroneous perception that Spice products are “natural” and therefore harmless have likely contributed to their popularity, much to the detriment of teens.

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.

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:

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Teenage substance use america's no. 1 health problem
1. Teenage Substance Use - America's No. 1 Health Problem
Teenage substance use is threatening the lives of our children. It is high time we
stop ignoring the problem as a community, as educators and certainly as parents.
As a parent myself I understand the many problems parents face when it comes to
their children and the subject of drug abuse.
The top reasons parents give for being against drug testing at school and at home
are:
Privacy issues. Parents often feel that searching their children's rooms
and/or personal belongings is just not right
Trust. Parents want to trust their children and want their children to trust
them. This leads parents to do nothing that is proactive to ensure their
children are not using drugs.
Fear. Often parents are afraid of what they may find and/or how their
children may react. So they decide that if they do not see it, it must not be a
problem.
Lack of knowledge. Something I hear so often from parents is that they
know nothing about today's drugs or their effects. Not having the knowledge
that they believe they need to act causes parents to basically wait until
something major (like their child overdosing) happens.
