OHS Considerations - Bone Loss and Hard Drug Abuse
Hard drug abuse causes a wide variety of physical, psychological and physiological side effects, not the least of which is bone loss. Different illicit drugs cause specific and overall bone loss. Weight and bone maintenance is important with regard to immune resistance and reducing bone fracture. Hard drugs, such as methamphetamine, heroin, and morphine, can start to take effect quickly and can cause the most damage in the long run.
In a book on oral and maxillofacial pathology, a group of dentists identify a comprehensive set of treatments and prognoses, including the high erosion of the teeth due to methamphetamine abuse. Meth abuse is in direct correlation to fracturing of the tooth enamel, rotting and decay of the enamel and dentin, and overall tooth loss. Teeth turn black, erode down to tiny stubs or even down to the roots, and are very sensitive to the touch, much more to standard, everyday oral care.[1]
A study on osteopenia discusses heroin abuse and HIV-related bone loss in women. Osteopenia is a condition where the bone mineral density is lower than it should be. Osteopenia is a precursor to Osteoporosis, but it does not always lead to this disease. Osteoporosis is a severe lack of bone tissue, which results in breakable, porous bones. Heroin abuse is highly correlated with HIV development and fast progression. The study compared groups of women, both HIV-infected and non-infected, and used women with similar high risk factors, so as to judge the impact of HIV on osteopenia. The results determined that HIV is indeed a strong factor in loss of bone mineral density, particularly non-black women, underweight women and opiate abusing women. [2]
Morphine is used as a treatment to reduce pain associated with certain types of cancer, including metastatic bone cancer. In a study concentrating on bone loss and morphine treatment, it was found that morphine treatments actually increase spontaneous fracture, bone loss, pain, and osteolysis. Osteolysis is essentially dissolving of the bone, usually due to particulate disease. Particulate disease is where particles, probably tiny specks of plastic from a joint replacement, are released into the tissue, stirring up the immune system and eliciting inflammation which can result in bone loss. [3]
Clearly, hard drugs wreak a great deal of havoc on bones and inner bone tissue. It is important to remember these side effects even when taking drugs for pain relief, as this can turn into abuse as well. Drug testing is needed to determine the amount of substance within the body. Quality drug and alcohol testing equipment can be found at CMM Technology. Contact us today: +618-9204-2500.

Is there any way to clear the hard drive using only the bios?
I have a computer that won't start up all the way. the most I can do is go to the bios. I think if I clear the hard drive and put xp back on it, it should work. is there any way to dump it from here?
no, not unless you can rewrite code.

Seniors Learn To Clear Clutter And Downsize The Easy Way
Are you thinking about downsizing to move to a smaller home? You can downsize even if you don’t plan on moving. Reducing the amount of possessions on a regular basis will help avoid the physical exertion and emotional trauma of doing it all at once.
Are you living in a home that has become too large for you and it is harder to go up and down the stairs? Are you afraid of getting rid of things because you are afraid you’ll be getting rid of your memories?
Clearing the clutter from a house you’ve lived in for years can seem like an impossible or overwhelming task.
Sometimes it is our adult children that interfere with our moving plans as they don’t want us to leave the home where they have fond memories of growing up. Or it could be that they want us to move but are afraid of suggesting it to us.
Emma was concerned about her elderly parents staying alone in their family home as they were getting older and she worried about them. Her father would forget to take his medications and when encouraged to take them he would become angry and accuse her mother of treating him like a child.
They had been taken advantage of by a man who had come to their home and telling them their roof needed repairing. Being trusting people they gave him several thousand dollars for repairs and never saw him again.
Her mother didn’t see as well as she used to and when she spilt some water on the floor she slipped and fell. She bruised her leg and was sore for several days.
The laundry room is in the basement and it is hard for her parents to go up and down the stairs to do their laundry. Her mother never complained but to wore her out to do the laundry.
Her mother drove her father to his doctor’s appointments but this made Emma uneasy as she was worried that her mother might cause an accident as her reflexes weren’t as good as they used to be.
Emma could see that socially they were isolated as their friends and family had moved away from the neighborhood. They would talk about how they wanted to go out and have fun doing activities but didn’t have anyone to go with and her mother couldn’t drive at night.
Emma thought it would be hard for her parents to leave the home they had lived in for 30 years. She was also concerned about clearing the clutter accumulated over a lifetime. She decided to talk to them about downsizing and preparing for a move to a retirement home. She expected resistance when she talked to her parents about moving and she was prepared to let the idea of downsizing and moving to a smaller home sit with them for a while to get used to the idea.
She was surprised when they were eager to move to a smaller place. They wanted a place with less up keep and where they could be around others their own age. They also wanted a house that was all on one level.
They had actually wanted to move for some time but were afraid Emma and their other children would not want them to leave this house where they had been reared.
If any of this sounds familiar and you do want to clear clutter whether you are moving or staying in your home here are six easy to follow tips to make downsizing easier.
· Evaluate each room one at a time and decide what you plan to keep and what you want to give away.
· Discuss with your family that you are clearing clutter to prepare for a move. Have them come to your home and give them colored stickers. Tell them to walk around and put a sticker on items they want. If there are duplicates on an item they can negotiate as to who gets it.
· Make a plan to get rid of what you don’t use, love or that you no longer want to keep.
· Take photos of things you want to get rid of but are having a hard time parting with and put them in a photo album.
· If you are storing your adult children’s possessions give them a date they need to have them removed. If they don’t come and get their things donate them.
·Remember what you put in storage is just delaying making a decision.
Consider the wonderful opportunities that will be opening up to you such as easier and better living after moving from a house that has out grown you.
There are comfortable condominiums, gated communities, retirement centers, assisted care centers or perhaps a “mother-in-law apartment” that would better meet your needs. When moving it is easier to clear the clutter that somehow has accumulated over the years. And it gives you such a sense of freedom and a lot fewer things to have to dust.
