Drug development

Drug addiction is a disease that affects the brain and has subsequent consequences on the addict’s behaviour. We often have a hard time recognizing that drug addiction is in fact a disease of the brain, and not something of choice. We categorize things such as, diabetes, Crohn’s, and multiple sclerosis as disease’s but we regularly subside the fact that drug addiction is a disease as well.

So what if that mother is addicted to harmful substances? Do these substances have any effect on the development of the brain structure of a baby inside the uterus? Recreational drugs like alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, and marijuana are some of the most readily available substances. These substances are harmful when consumed in excess in your daily lives, but when an expecting mother uses these drugs, not only does this affect her health, but it also affects the baby growing inside her.…

Every year, approximately $600 billion dollars is spent on illegal drugs. All of that money could match Bill Gate’s fortune 7 times. While there are thousands becoming addicted each day, about 200,000 addicts will die each year of an overdose. Drug addiction is becoming a bigger problem as each day passes by. Treatment plans for this epidemic continue to fail. Only 23% of addicts that go through these treatment plans fully become drug free. The question of why treatments are failing is yet to be…

issues that can be avoided by the use of drug testing. As the use of drugs increase within male athletes due to rising standards from society and competition, many face the pressing issue of developing traits that are not common to men, such as the development of breasts and higher voices(“Drugs and Athletes”), as well as conditions that affect the body physically and psychologically. Although different drugs come with different side effects, many drugs share common side effects which “have the…

Over the years, Player Enhancing Drugs have become very popular for many athletes. The risk is high for a higher return. Although there are many other ways to enhance performance, some athletes still tend to lend on these “drugs”. The history of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED’s) date back to the ancient Greek times (“Drugs and Athletes” Gale). Athletes in the ancient Greek times would gorge themselves with meat before they would perform (“Drugs and Athletes” Gale). Around the 1950’s-1960’s,…

Armstrong or A-Rod—turn out to have achieved their great feats with a boost from performance-enhancing drugs and other banned technologies? Not everyone turns up their nose when a high-profile athlete dopes. Some offer excuses: the pressure to perform is overwhelming, and the rewards are too tempting to resist. We allow special diets, scientifically optimized training, and novel equipment, so why ban drugs, or, in Lance’s case, bags of whole blood? Aren’t they all just technologies intended to…

The Medicare Part D, also known as the Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage, was designed to cover the existing gap (the donut hole), between individual’s prescription drug needs and Original Medicare (Original Medicare is characterized in parts A and B). The Original Medicare Plans includes basic drug coverage but unfortunately, many medicare beneficiaries require specific prescription drug needs that do not fall under the qualifications of parts A and B coverage. Medicare Part D is additional…

My overall impression of Freakonomics pertaining to the subject matter is that the documentary segments focus in on real-life struggles that families from all different walks of life go through. It was interesting to find out names can have an affect how well a child performs in school and their future careers. The definition of causality seems unnecessary in everyday life. We define causality as a connection between two events or states that one produces or brings about the other; where one is…
