stretching movements while lying ...on (down)...... in bed. If this sort of night cramp becomes

of intermittent claudications. The patient first complains of aching legs after exercise.
It ....can..... be slight, but gradually becomes more pronounced. ..Unfortunately.. the pain is
not merely an ache, but a definite, crippling cramp, which can become ....more (so).... severe
that the patient finds he or she cannot stand after much walking.Intermittent claudication is
caused ..by........ the narrowing of the arteries and often starts in the 30s. It generally means
that the arteries everywhere in the body .....have... become narrowed and blood cannot
reach the muscles fast enough when they are in use. The heart muscles may be equally
affected.This condition may ....give (be).... a good enough excuse for not doing jobs you don’t
like doing, but that is poor consolation. It is a disease ......which..... affects men far more than
women and attacks are more common in cold weather, or even after sitting in a chair at the
office in a draught. It is also a slightly hereditary complaint.This is ......by.... no means the
same as the night-time cramp already mentioned, and there is ....no...... absolute cure. The
patient learns to regulate the amount of exercise he or she can comfortably take.
....Some (No)..... drugs offer a complete relief but there is one habit which the sufferer
must give up -- smoking. Whatever may or may not be one’s views about the habit, it
undoubtedly makes intermittent claudication far more troublesome.A number of patients will
secretly admit that ......as.. long as they keep off tobacco they do not get this fearsome

Alcohol abuse among teenagers

Alcohol abuse among teenagers is a big problem worldwide.There is a growing tendency of useing
(using) alcohol at very early ages,too.Probably it is caused by the influence of media,music, by the
changes of (in) mentality of the (the nelkul) parents and teenagers ,because they want to live for the
moment and to be as free as they can in this way.
Nowdays teenagers have more possibilities to consume alcohol at earlier ages, because they look
older and they have more money for these things ,too.
International studies show that regularly alcohol consumption can cause more than 60 different
diseases and have very harmful effects not just on health but on social-economical life too.
Unfortunately alcohol consumption can lead to serious neurological and psihiatric (psychiatric)
diseases like depression,suicide or it can lead to various types of cancer and to prematurity,
miscarriage, SGA and malformations during pregnancy.
Alcohol consumption is not a bad habit, it is proved that one glass of red wine every day has good
effects on the cardiovascular system.If we consume alcohol, we have to be attentive how much and
how many days we consume it.

Drug abuse among teenagers

Drug abuse among teenagers is a big problem worldwide.There is a growing tendency of useing
(using) oral and intravenous drugs among adults and teenagers.
Drugs have direct effect on the nervous system and they lead to short- and long-term modifications
and diseases like hallucination,Parkinson disease, dementia,etc.
There are several types of drugs, but the most consumable (consumed) one is marihuana. The biggest
problem with drug consumption is that there’s a growing tendency of spreading infectious diseases
among intravenous drug consumers, like HIV,HBV,HCV,HDV,HGV,TTV.
Drug consumption has several impacts not just on the health of people (people’s health), but it has
serious socio-economical effects,too.

Tatoos and their impact on human health

Tatoos are spread all over the world and actually they have negative effects on human health.
Most of the people make tatoos in order to remember special events or in order to express feelings
or their personality.Unfortunately most of them don’t even know the negative impact on human
health.The lack of good hygienic conditions can lead to transmitting infectious diseases like
HIV,HBC,HCV,HDV,etc.On the other hand there is a higher frequency of melanoma malignum among
those who have tatoos.
If we want to make a tatoos, we should think about the negative and positive sides of it at first.
