Definition. Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum â a silk-like membrane that lines your inner abdominal wall and covers the organs within your abdomen â that is usually due to a bacterial or fungal infection.
Opiate addiction is a dangerous and potentially deadly condition that requires long term treatment and care in order to promote recovery. It is recognized as a brain disorder that is caused by the use of opiate based drugs such as Oxycontin, morphine, oxycodone, opium, heroin and others.
Heroin remains one of the most popular and powerful opiates in the world. And even with the release of potent opiate-based painkillers, heroin still remains dangerously addictive. For example, a study called âComparative Analgesic Potency Of Heroin And Morphine In Post-Operative Patientsâ found that heroin was two to four times as potent as morphine. The potency of heroin (as well as its illegality) has limited its usefulness as a painkiller.
