Book excerpt: "One of the best books on narcotics that has yet appeared." -Medical Review of Reviews, Volume 22, January, 1916 "No one can be better fitted to place such a treatise before the public than Mr. Towns, who is, in a measure, responsible for the present legislative campaign against the wholesale distribution of habit-forming drugs heretofore considered almost harmless by druggists and consumers, which, however, insidiously undermine the health, progress and prosperity of the individual, and the community at large, by whom a habit is formed from which the victim can not easily, and perhaps never, be released. He justly claims that the physician is almost invariably to blame for the development of this drug-using curse, due to his ignorance of the length to which he can safely go in the administration of narcotics. We should say that all points of importance, i. e., causes, warning against the danger, help and hope for the afflicted, treatment and cure of these unfortunates, are covered herein. Mr. Towns faces a terrific problem, and handles the subject manfully, truthfully, bravely, yea, and despite all that he knows of it - hopefully as well....No one especially interested in these subjects among the profession or laity, should be without a copy." -Medical Times, Volume 43, January, 1915 "A solemn note of warning against the perils of the drug habit." -The Rock "The work is interesting and deserves to be read by members of the medical profession." -Medical Record "The recent sensational legislation against the traffic in habit-forming drugs has brought to light startling facts about the prevalence of drug-addiction among all classes of people, not excluding doctors. Mr. Towns, whose life-work is the study and treatment of the victims of these habits, and who is largely responsible for the present legislative campaign, here sums up his experience in regard to the prevalence of drugs, and the methods of treatment and cure; and he extends his discussion also to alcohol and tobacco. It is almost as important, he believes, that the public should be wary about sanatoriums and even about many doctors as about drugs themselves, and he outlines a practicable mode of cure, the success of which he has himself repeatedly proved. The work is at once interesting and instructive and should be in the hands of every practitioner." -Pacific Medical Journal, Volume 58, January, 1915 "A few years ago he successfully treated some four thousand Chinese for opium" -The Bellman, Volume 19, August 21, 1915 CONTENTS I THE PERIL OF THE DRUG HABIT II THE NEED OF ADEQUATE SPECIFIC TREATMENT FOR THE DRUG-TAKER III THE DRUG-TAKER AND THE PHYSICIAN IV PSYCHOLOGY AND DRUGS V ALCOHOLICS VI HELP FOR THE HARD DRINKER VII CLASSIFICATION OF ALCOHOLICS VIII THE INJURIOUSNESS OF TOBACCO IX TOBACCO AND THE FUTURE OF THE RACE X THE SANATORIUM XI PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR THE DRUG EVIL XII CLASSIFICATION OF HABIT-FORMING DRUGS XIII PSYCHOLOGY OF ADDICTION APPENDIX

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain is the most complex organ in our body. Indeed, it is perhaps the most complex structure we have ever encountered in nature. Both structurally and functionally, there are many peculiarities that differentiate the brain from all other organs. The brain is our connection to the world around us and by governing nervous system and higher function, any disturbance induces severe neurological and psychiatric disorders that can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the brain has improved dramatically in the last two decades. In particular, the critical role of cations, including magnesium, has become evident, even if incompletely understood at a mechanistic level. The exact role and regulation of magnesium, in particular, remains elusive, largely because intracellular levels are so difficult to routinely quantify. Nonetheless, the importance of magnesium to normal central nervous system activity is self-evident given the complicated homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the concentration of this cation within strict limits essential for normal physiology and metabolism. There is also considerable accumulating evidence to suggest alterations to some brain functions in both normal and pathological conditions may be linked to alterations in local magnesium concentration. This book, containing chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field of magnesium research, brings together the latest in experimental and clinical magnesium research as it relates to the central nervous system. It offers a complete and updated view of magnesiums involvement in central nervous system function and in so doing, brings together two main pillars of contemporary neuroscience research, namely providing an explanation for the molecular mechanisms involved in brain function, and emphasizing the connections between the molecular changes and behavior. It is the untiring efforts of those magnesium researchers who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of magnesiums role in biological systems that has inspired the collation of this volume of work.

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All across the United States, individuals, families, communities, and health care systems are struggling to cope with substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Substance misuse and substance use disorders have devastating effects, disrupt the future plans of too many young people, and all too often, end lives prematurely and tragically. Substance misuse is a major public health challenge and a priority for our nation to address. The effects of substance use are cumulative and costly for our society, placing burdens on workplaces, the health care system, families, states, and communities. The Report discusses opportunities to bring substance use disorder treatment and mainstream health care systems into alignment so that they can address a person's overall health, rather than a substance misuse or a physical health condition alone or in isolation. It also provides suggestions and recommendations for action that everyone-individuals, families, community leaders, law enforcement, health care professionals, policymakers, and researchers-can take to prevent substance misuse and reduce its consequences.
