There are confidential reports about teens and consumption of illicit drugs that are used by physicians and public health experts to measure the magnitude of the problem and to help troubled teens. However, it turns out that teenagers FIB big on anonymous surveys, and so do their parents.

The researchers asked 432 African American adolescents and their parents to participate in an anonymous survey about their use of cocaine, opiates and marijuana, and said it would also be drug-tested. Of the 211 adolescents whose hair has tried cocaine, two said they used it, while 69 or 34 percent, tested positive, according to a new study published in Pediatrics. Of the 244 parents tested, 15 said they had used cocaine, while 69 or 28 percent, tested positive.

The parents surveyed were bad at guessing if your son was using alcohol or drugs. For example, 9.6 percent of parents said their teenage son drank alcohol, while 25 percent of teens said they did. With marijuana, 9.5 percent of parents said their teen smoking the drug, while 17 percent of teens said they did.

This is not the first study finds that parents have no idea about teen drug and alcohol consumption. That may be because parents tend to shrug off drugs and alcohol as a normal teenage behavior, according to a study published last January in the journal Pediatrics. However, forgetfulness has a price. Early increases alcohol abuse and a child’s risk of addiction and health in adulthood, and adolescent suicide.

Currently, patients have to undergo coronary test or diagnostic or therapeutic, wait half a month.

These delays are the lowest in the service of Cardiology and Homodynamic HUCA been exhibited in the last twenty years. It highlights the medical director of Central, Cesar Morris. The improvement in coronary care time has been achieved mainly through this year when it went from a maximum delay reached last February to 210 days to the current four weeks.

The graph shows that the worst Central time delay recorded in the last two years for homodynamic procedures in Asturias was early 2009, when a patient came to accumulate 251 days of waiting.
