Anaemia
Anaemia is a deficiency in the amount of the pigment
haemoglobin in the blood.
There are three main causes of anaemia 1. Loss of blood through severe bleeding.
2. Disease of the bone marrow where the red cells are produced.
3. A lack of iron in the diet which is essential for the formation of
haemoglobin.
Anaemia is a very common condition and surveys have shown
that about 5% of women are anaemic while up to 30% have no
iron reserves. The condition is less common in men.
The symptoms of anaemia may be very mild depending on the
degree of shortage of iron but typically the patient will be pale,
tired and short of breath when exerting themselves.

Drugs and drug abuse

ctiv
e.c
om
Drug abuse is commonly described as the use of drugs which leads to either
physical, mental, economic or social harm to the user or to other people who
may be affected by the user's behaviour.
The term is commonly associated with the mis-use of illegal drugs such as heroin,
LSD, cocaine and barbiturates but it applies equally to drugs such as tobacco
and alcohol and drugs obtained by prescription.
Dependence on drugs falls into two categories 1. Psychological dependence is an emotional state of craving for a drug whose
presence in the body has a desired effect or whose absence has an undesired
effect. Most people are very mildly dependent on the caffeine in tea or coffee.
Dependence on cannabis falls into this category.
2. Physical dependence is a condition where the body undergoes chemical
changes as a result of taking the drug and deprivation of the drug causes
physical symptoms called withdrawal symptoms. In the case of heroin, an addict
who is deprived of the drug will within a few hours develop severe abdominal
pains, sweating and muscular tremors. In some cases, the symptoms can be fatal.
The dangers to the health of the addict range from the danger of an overdose to
diseases such as AIDS and blood poisoning transmitted by infected needles
which are often shared. Addicts have a high death rate from liver disease and
damage to the kidneys and brains are common.
