BACKGROUND: Drug abuse occurs widely in various parts of the world. The drugs that are misused are not only cocaine, or heroin, but also drugs that are commonly prescribed. If you want to get drunk, usually use dextromethorphan (DMP) pills, but now switch to mixing herbal cough medicines with energy drinks. Herbal cough medicine is usually used as a cough reliever, but in teens today, herbal cough medicine is starting to be abused. Mixing energy drinks using herbal cough medicine are motivated by a lack of positive activities or activities, influenced by peers or the environment where the subject lives, lack of application of religious and school education, lack of the role of parents in supervising their children, easy access to herbal cough medicines and drinks energy in large quantities, and the price is cheap. The crime that occurred is not only limited to theft but also drugs and drinking. The only difference, they are not drunk with liquor, but mixed energy drinks with some herbal cough medicine sachets. CASE REPORT: We found a case of acute psychotic disorders due to cannabis use and other psychoactive substances, namely, a mixture of herbal cough medicine containing DMP and energy drinks containing caffeine, after 2 days of use, in a 20-year-old male, found a delusion and hallucinations. CONCLUSIONS: Every use of addictive substances and psychotropic substances will have an impact on life and health. The use of addictive and psychotropic substances when consumed in excess of the dose will damage some organ functions, affect the smooth operation of organ systems, and can also cause acute psychosis.

Over Time

The energy drinks have undergone exponential hikes over the last years worldwide, in adults, youth, and even children. Among its components can be found: caffeine, guarana, taurine, ging-Seng, L-carnitine, creatinine or glucuronolactone, citric acid and phosphoric acid, among others. A responsible and occasional consumption should not pose major problems, but this is not the case. The medical effects are usually caused by their abuse, like: headaches, palpitations, insomnia, sweating, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, gastroesophageal reflux, facial numbness, bloating, tremor, diarrhea and even addiction, among others. While in the dental level, specifically on the dental enamel, the most severe impact is the erosion and the lesser impact is tooth staining, which has not yet been fully investigated, also have been described the development of hypersensitivity. A timely prevention and diagnosis are essential to minimize the damage caused by prolonged use of these products. It is essential to avoid a possible trend or “fad” associated with mixing energy drinks and alcohol and even drugs, of which they are not fully known the possible risks that could potentially cause. Due to its exponential growth it is essential to have an updated knowledge about the consumption of these beverages. The high consumption of energy drinks maintained over time is associated with negative effects at the medical and dental level. Further research is necessary to prevent, treat and rehabilitate the consequences produced by the consumption of these products.

Exchange Membrane

Ion exchange membrane (IEM) performance in electrochemical processes such as fuel cells, redox flow batteries, or reverse electrodialysis (RED) is typically quantified through membrane selectivity and conductivity, which together determine the energy efficiency. However, water and co-ion transport (i.e., osmosis and salt diffusion / fuel crossover) also impact energy efficiency by allowing uncontrolled mixing of the electrolyte solutions to occur. For example, in RED with hypersaline water sources, uncontrolled mixing consumes 20-50% of the available mixing energy. Thus, in addition to high selectivity and high conductivity, it is desirable for IEMs to have low permeability to water and salt in order to minimize energy losses. Unfortunately, there is very little quantitative water and salt permeability information available for commercial IEMs, making it difficult to select the best membrane for a particular application. Accordingly, we measured the water and salt transport properties of 20 commercial IEMs and analyzed the relationships between permeability, diffusion and partitioning according to the solution-diffusion model. We found that water and salt permeance vary over several orders of magnitude among commercial IEMs, making some membranes better-suited than others to electrochemical processes that involve high salt concentrations and/or concentration gradients. Water and salt diffusion coefficients were found to be the principal factors contributing to the differences in permeance among commercial IEMs. We also observed that water and salt permeability were highly correlated to one another for all IEMs studied, regardless of polymer type or reinforcement. This finding suggests that transport of mobile salt in IEMs is governed by the microstructure of the membrane, and provides clear evidence that mobile salt does not interact strongly with polymer chains in highly-swollen IEMs. <br>
