SLEEP PARALYSIS RESEARCH PAPER Sleep paralysis has a history that stretches over centuries, with a vast array of people experiencing it. Some believe they have been visited by demons, or aliens in the night and attribute such events to witchcraft or Satanism. There are references to folklore from every nation throughout history. The Nightmare, is a painting by Henry Fuselli that dates to 1781, and depicts a chilling sleep paralysis incidence. In this painting, a malicious spirit sits on a man’s chest

1. Introduction/Background Information The discovery of hormones and their function has been relatively recent. The term was first coined by Professor Earnest Starling in 1905. He derived the word from the Greek meaning “to arouse or excite.” However, the idea of the role hormones could be traced back as far as ancient Greece. Though Hippocrates’ theory on humors has been refuted, the concept of “bodily fluids,” or in this case, the amount of hormones circulating in the blood directly affecting

which is called allodynia). Many research has linked the neuropathic pain to neuronal damages where endogenous ATP being released. Therefore purinergic receptors that can respond to ATP are involved. In this essay, after a brief introduction of P2X receptors, the role of microglial P2X4 and P2X7 in neuropathic pain will be discussed. Purinergic receptor can be divided into two families based on their different

mice (Blanks & Thornton, 2003). With that in mind, abnormal modification of OT action does influence the start of labor. In conclusion, they put forward the idea that OT receptor in mice is mostly invested in the timing for the initiation of labor. Most importantly, the OT receptor is essential for normal labor because those receptors are found in abundance in uterine epithelium during late pregnancy promoting contractile effects. Along with those findings, female rats that are undergone a knockout

paper announced by Yan and partners in the past issue of “Arthritis Research and Therapy proposes” that distinctions in reactions to FGF2 are in all probability because of changes to be determined between the two noteworthy articular types of FGF receptors, FGFR1 and FGFR3. They demonstrate that the

Remifentanil (marketed as Ultiva) is a synthetic opioid analgesic that selectively binds μ receptors. Unlike other opioid compounds, remifentanil is not metabolised by the liver but is subjected to widespread chemical hydrolysis catalysed by non-specific esterases circulating in blood and found in tissue (Navapurkar et al. 1998) (Said et al. 2011) (Haider et al. 1996). This makes it suitable to administer to patients who have some degree of organ dysfunction (such as liver disease or renal impairment)

Substance Abuse in Correctional Setting Assessment psychology has examined individuals who are criminal offenders who were evaluated to determine their personalities to which they have a long history with. Approximately well over a century ago, Münsterberg, 1908, Vaccaro & Hogan, 2004 who are all psychologists has managed a improved study on criminal offenders that will allow us all to have an ambiguous understanding of how the process of his research in reference to the criminal

active pharmacological constituent of marijuana and the point of interest for the researchers to discern the relationship between marijuana and depression in the users. In particular, studies try to find the impact of THC on the cannabinoid receptor (CB) 1. The receptor is located in the peripheral as well as the central nervous system. THC is an agonist of the CB1, which forms the point of influence of the marijuana on the nervous system. The primary concern of researchers is to understand the impact

Interactions with Receptors Ethanol interacts with the several neurochemical systems that play a role in the effects and reinforcing factors during consumption. It is a depressant that interacts with ion-gated channels in a way that generally decreases brain activity. These interactions either facilitate the channel, opening mostly Cl-, but also facilitate 5-HT3 receptors that are NA+ and K+ channels, or the interactions inhibit the opening of channels usually NA+, CA+, and K+. Some of the receptors that it

Schizophrenia is one of the most severe psychiatric disorders that affects both male and females, respectively. This illness is characterized by gradual increase in changes of perception, thinking, social activities, speech, feelings, and motivations. Many studies have shown that there is a clear difference in outcome between genders including symptom severity, age-at-onset and functional outcome (as cited in Gogos, Kwek and van den Buuse, 2011, p. 213). For example, schizophrenia occurs on average
