Presentation1
This document discusses drugs and depression. It defines a drug, lists common types like alcohol and nicotine, and identifies causes of depression like an inability to cope with crisis. Symptoms of depression include losing interest in hobbies, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite or mood. Effects can include weakened family ties, problems at work, criminal behavior, and medical issues. Suggested solutions involve prevention through education, treatment and rehabilitation of users, strict laws against drug dealing, and open communication between parents and children.
Teenobeity
Teen health and obesity is discussed, noting that being overweight or obese can be caused by a lack of physical activity and poor nutrition from excessive soda and food intake. The document recommends that teens engage in more physical activity with friends instead of screen time, and that parents can help by controlling food choices, encouraging exercise, and leading by example with healthy habits.
Chemical dependency in youth
Chemical dependency in youth, also known as addiction to drugs or alcohol, can be caused by social pressures, family history of addiction, and lack of emotional stability. Common factors leading to addiction include being tempted by peers who tease about drugs or drink heavily and promote "just trying it." Family dynamics also influence youth addiction, as children are affected when parents struggle with their own addiction and lack open communication. Genetics may play a role through genes like the AA gene affecting the mu-opioid receptor in the brain. Effective treatments include inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, 12-step support groups, therapy, and addressing any co-occurring mental health conditions like depression.
How do people become addicts
There are four main reasons why people become addicts: genetic predisposition, dealing with mental illness, submitting to peer pressure, and experiencing childhood trauma. Those with a family history of addiction are more likely to struggle with addiction themselves. Many addicts also suffer from mental health disorders that motivate substance abuse for relief. Both teens and adults can fall prey to peer pressure that leads to addiction. Repeated childhood abuse can shape brain chemistry and increase vulnerability to lifelong addiction. Seeking help from addiction counselors or programs can help break the cycle of addiction within families.
Farewell French Fries, Welcome Watermelons
Approximately 18% of teens are overweight or obese today, triple the amount from 20 years ago, putting them at risk for health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased chances of obesity as adults. Unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity are contributing causes, which can also lead to social and self-esteem problems. The document recommends that families change to whole, less processed foods, reduce unhealthy snacks, and engage in physical activities like team sports, dancing, or martial arts to help teens establish healthy lifestyle habits.
Occupational Hazards that Impacts on Reproductive Health
This document discusses occupational hazards that can impact reproductive health. It outlines four main types of occupational hazards: physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial. Chemical and physical hazards in the workplace can negatively impact women's reproductive health by affecting their menstrual cycles, fertility, risk of miscarriage and stillbirth, and increasing risks of birth defects, low birth weight, premature birth, and childhood cancer. Harmful substances can enter a woman's body through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion and be exposed to babies during pregnancy and childbirth. The document recommends various measures to promote occupational health, including proper nutrition, disease control, sanitation, mental health support, protections for women and children, and health education.

Effects of alcohol, drugs, and violence
This document summarizes and critiques two studies on the psychological effects of substances like alcohol, drugs and violence on minority children from socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods. It argues that the first study, which examined the effects of prenatal substance exposure on motor skills in 4-year-olds, was incomplete because it did not follow the original participants and added new participants to the control group. The second study, which tested cognitive abilities of African American children via laptop, is critiqued for potentially biasing children's responses by helping them answer questions and conducting the test in children's homes rather than a controlled setting. The document calls for more well-designed studies that follow the same participants and control for biases.

Your health & wellness chapter 1- lesson 1
Good health is more than just physical health, but also includes mental, emotional, and social well-being. Health exists on a continuum that can change quickly or gradually from birth to death. Wellness is an overall state of well-being achieved through making healthy lifestyle choices based on health knowledge. Promoting health involves both personal lifestyle factors like getting enough sleep and exercise, and prevention practices like wearing seatbelts and sunscreen to avoid injury or disease. Health education and literacy help people access and understand health information to make choices that support overall wellness.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
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.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
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. The Nervous and Chemical Regulation of Respiration

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
