Narcotics
Narcoticsefender8
油
Narcotics are drugs that are derived from opium or produce opium-like effects. Examples include morphine, codeine, heroin, oxycodone, and methadone. Opium was first used and abused in China hundreds of years ago. Narcotics are highly addictive and prolonged use can lead to both physical and mental health effects as well as social consequences. They are associated with crime and societal issues.Drug Dependance

Drug dependence
It is a physical or psychological condition resulting from repeated administration of mood-altering drugs.
It is a state characterized by a compulsion to take the drug on a continuous or periodic basis in order to experience its euphoriogenic effects.
If a mood-altering drug is unavailable, then the individual develops certain withdrawal symptoms.

Heroin withdrawal can cause uncomfortable symptoms as the body adjusts to being without the drug. Detoxification in a medical setting helps manage withdrawal safely using medications and fluids. Treatment may include methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone to further reduce cravings and prevent relapse while psychological support aids long-term recovery.Designer drugs

The document discusses the history, effects, and dangers of heroin use. It describes how heroin was originally marketed as a treatment but became highly addictive. The physical, mental, social, and legal consequences of heroin use are then outlined, affecting multiple body systems and potentially resulting in health issues like respiratory illness, cardiac arrest, and nervous system destruction. Combining heroin with alcohol can cause coma or even be fatal. In conclusion, the document states that heroin is a very addictive and dangerous drug that negatively impacts both users and their environment.Cocaine poisoning
Cocaine poisoningDr. FAIZ AHMAD
油
Cocaine is derived from the coca plant and can be administered via smoking, insufflation, or injection. It acts by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Initial effects include euphoria and increased energy, but overdose can cause seizures, cardiac issues, and death. Regular use is associated with nasal damage, weight loss, dependence, and psychological issues. Treatment focuses on managing the acute effects of overdose and providing therapies for addiction.Alcohol : ethanol and methanol
Alcohol : ethanol and methanolSumit Kumar
油
1) Ethanol is produced commercially by fermenting sugars or starches with yeast. It is then distilled to produce spirits with 40-55% alcohol content.
2) Acute ethanol intoxication causes symptoms like slurred speech and impaired coordination above 80mg/dL blood alcohol content. Treatment focuses on airway protection and supportive care.
3) Chronic heavy ethanol use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms like tremors or seizures upon cessation. Approved medications like naltrexone and acamprosate aim to reduce craving and ease withdrawal.Poisoning
PoisoningMD Specialclass
油
Poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, injection, or skin absorption of toxic substances. Poisonings are classified as intentional, unintentional, or undetermined. Common causes of poisoning include pharmaceuticals, household products, pesticides, and plants/mushrooms. Initial medical care focuses on life support and stabilizing the patient. Preventing further absorption and administering antidotes specific to the toxin are also important treatment steps. Proper storage and disposal of toxic substances can help prevent accidental poisoning.Cocaine
Cocainejayesh dabhi
油
Cocaine is a powerful addictive stimulant drug extracted from the coca plant. It is classified as a schedule II drug in the US. Cocaine can be abused by snorting, smoking, or injecting and causes both acute and long term health effects. Long term abuse can lead to dependency and other consequences like cardiovascular issues, seizures, and mood disturbances. Treatment focuses on symptomatic care and counseling, as there is no antidote for cocaine overdose.Ppt chapter 23

Nicotine toxicityreiamameer
油
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in tobacco plants. It acts as both a stimulant and sedative, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of adrenaline. While nicotine can improve memory and concentration in the short term, long-term use leads to many negative health effects. Nicotine poisoning can occur from overdose and causes stimulant effects initially, followed by depressant effects like low blood pressure and breathing difficulties. Treatment focuses on medication, behavioral support, and medical care in severe cases. Prevention emphasizes avoiding nicotine products and safely storing them away from children and pets.Tetrachloromethane

Alcohol refers to any organic compound containing a hydroxyl group bonded to a carbon atom. Ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and is produced through fermentation of sugars by yeast. All humans produce small amounts of alcohol endogenously through bacterial fermentation in the intestines. While ethanol consumption has risks, other alcohols like methanol are more toxic and can cause blindness or death if ingested.Papain

This document discusses cardiotonic drugs, which increase the contractility of the cardiac muscle without increasing oxygen demand. It focuses on two main types - cardiac glycosides like digoxin, and phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Digoxin increases calcium levels in cardiac cells, strengthening contractions. It has a positive inotropic effect and is used to treat heart failure and arrhythmias. The document outlines the mechanisms, effects, dosing, interactions, toxicity and nursing considerations for digoxin and phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Caffeine
CaffeineMuhammad Rashad
油
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant found naturally in coffee beans, tea leaves, and cocoa beans. It is chemically classified as a methylxanthine and acts as an antagonist of adenosine receptors in the brain. By blocking adenosine receptors, caffeine prevents the slowing of neuronal activity and can increase brain activity levels. It has been used for centuries as a psychotropic drug and CNS stimulant to promote wakefulness, but is now commonly consumed worldwide in coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks for its energizing effects.Alcohol & methyl alcohol
