DRUG ABUSE, a devastating phenomenon.

What Is Drug?

A drug is any substance other than food, that when inhaled , injected , smoked, consumed , absorbed via a patch on the skin or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological change in the body.


What is Drug or substance abuse ?

According to World Health Organization, "Substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and illicit drugs."


Psychoactive drugs

Psychoactive drugs are chemical substances that affect the function of the central nervous system , altering perception , mood or consciousness.


Effects of psychoactive drugs

Psychoactive substance use can lead to dependence syndrome - 
1. a strong desire to take the drug, 
2. difficulties in controlling its use, 
3. persisting in its use despite harmful consequences, 
4. a higher priority given to drug use than to other activities and obligations, 
5. increased tolerance,
6. physical withdrawal state.


Types of psychoactive drug

Most psychoactive drugs fall into the categories of stimulants,
depressants, opiates and hallucinogens. All these types of drugs are addictive, induce dependence and have different effects on the human brain and body.

1. Stimulants

DEPRESSANTS : Depressants are chemicals that slow down the central nervous system and suppress brain activity causing relief from anxiety. Example include depressants,cannabis, barbiturates and benzodiazepines (e.g. valium, temazepam).

OPIATES and OPIOIDS : Opiate and opioid drugs provide pain relief, euphoria, sedation and in increasing doses induce coma. Examples include heroin, morphine, opium,  methadone, dipipanone and pethidine.

HALLUCINOGENS :  Hallucinogens cause changes in a person's perception of reality. Example include cannabis, LSD, ecstasy and psilocybin (magic mushrooms).

INHALANTS : Inhalants are a broad range of intoxicative drugs whose gases or volatile vapors are breathed in via the nose or mouth. Examples include nitrous oxide, methane from septic tank.

DrHesjay:
Baba, how far?
I advise that you study all d soft copies of those books to know which of them u prefer. Then get the hard copies of the ones u prefer...
This way, u won't waste money on books u won't eventually read.
.
Embryology...
People will tell u to get Saddler's or Developing Human. study the first 2 topics in the soft copies. Get the one u prefer. I use developing human b while majority of my class mates use Saddler's...
.
Biochemistry
They will tell u to get either Harpers or Lippincotts.
I made d mistake of not studying the soft copies, and I got Harpers.. I regret that decision till tomorrow.. I just wanted the money.. I dnt understand anything Inside d hook.. I just have a natural hatred for it. It has bn with a friend for over 5months now..
I cane across Vasudevan's and I loved it.. Then I got the hard copy.. And biochemistry became 'okro'.. Thats y u should study those books before buying..

Histology:
there are lots of options in histology.. But most people use Junquira. I also got junquira.. But later, I found 'Singh's'... and I bought the hardcopy.. Since then, Singh's became my first choice.. it simplifies everything.. Tho I still use d junquira sometimes.
.
Gross..
The big thing.. As usual... all students get Clinically oriented anatomy(Keith Moore)
If u r not rili the 'softcopy' person.. I advise u get 2 books on gross.. probably Keith Moore and Chaurasia... There's also one brilliant book that I came across.. can't remember d name but they call it 'Above/Below Diaphragm' The book has 2 volumes... 'Above Diaphragm' and 'below diaphragm'.. if u can get it.. good for u oo.. Most people dnt understand that Keith Moore wastes time.. or maybe I am d only one that sees that..
.
Physiology:
It all depends on what you like... But since u r coming to Ilorin.. get Ganong... u just have to use d book.. I hate the book tho'.. I prefer Guyton.. But in ilorin, u have no choice, if u dnt want to fail.. u just have to use Ganong..
.
Basically.. Get at least
* One Gross anatomy book
* One Physiology book
* One embryology book
* One biochemistry book
* One histology book.
* One Anatomy Atlas(Netters preferably)
* Cunningham Dissection manual
* A medical dictionary
.
You can get more, it depends on you..
But above all.. never get too far from your soft copies..
On each course, on d average, I have like 5 soft copy books each..
It helps.

well detailed, dr hesjay
