Introduction Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that arises from inflammatory response to infection. The response from the host is associated with immune, hormonal, metabolic, bioenergetic and autonomic nervous system modification. This is associated with an overall catabolic state, excessive adrenergic stimulation, high catecholamine levels and myocardial depression. This effects are mainly mediated via cathecholaminergic action and cytokine production (1). β-blockers modulate both these pathways. There

Discuss how cutting-edge scientific discoveries may provide potential therapies for Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a long-term, psychotic disorder that affects approximately 1% of the world’s population (Dourish and Dawson, 2014). The condition is characterised by a ‘fundamental disturbance of personality’, as a person suffers from hallucinations (either hearing voices or seeing things that do not exist), delusions, altered perceptions and an overall, quite dramatic, change in behaviour (Tsuang

The Negative Effects of Marijuana and Why It Should Be Prohibited Abdulkader Hamdoun University of Victoria Nowadays, legalizing marijuana is considered a sensitive issue among societies and governments. Marijuana has become one of the most commonly used drugs all over the world. Some people suggest that it should be permissible, while others believe that it is hazardous and it should be prohibited. It is true that marijuana has a few positive effects that contribute in the medical field

In the neocortex, acetylcholine (ACh) stimulates arousal and plays a major role in attention and working memory (Jones, 2008). Neuropsychological studies on caffeine report increased arousal, alertness, increased energy and concentration (Smith, 2002; Ruxton, 2008; Brunye´ et al., 2010) even at doses as low as 50 mg, which is comparable to the amount of caffeine in a cup of tea. It has been indicated that even in low doses caffeine improves performance on attention tasks (Brunye´ et al., 2010a)

second topic being “anticholinergics” which are a type of drugs that block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. This paper will explain and show what effects anticholinergic medications have on the body in terms as to what receptors are being used and how they are defined and what effects and side effects can occur from anticholinergic medications. Along with these topics we will take an in depth look at how sympathomimetics medication has potential side effect with children

In 2014 they had issued over 486,000 shares where each one cost around .28 cents. “When they originally began, most of their funds came from healthcare investors and funds” (SEC, 4). In the SEC it states that they have been able to have raise over 108 million in preferred stocks, 99.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and have a deficit of 25.5 million. On the balance sheet for 2015 the assets of the company are $101,603 in 2014, which is an increase of 2014’s numbers of

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), according to the textbook, is a lifelong neurological development disturbance that causes inattention and hyperactivity problems (Wicks-Nelson & Israel, 2015, p. 217). Many of those who have ADHD also suffer from one or more type of learning disability, because their attention issues that inhibit their ability to focus on the materials being taught at the moment (McNamara, J. [October 19, 2016], Lecture #6, Brock University). According to the Diagnostic

regions rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors. Not only does cannabis affect adult brains, it affects underdeveloped brains as well. Specifically, significant gray matter atrophy can occur either with a heavy cannabis consumption independent of the age of first use or with recreational consumption that started during adolescence (before the age of 18). The duration of exposure to cannabis is indeed associated with localized volume reduction in regions rich in CB1 receptors, correlating with the amount of

of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and dopamine receptor type 2 (D2) are reduced in the medium spiny neurons of the striatum. CB1 receptor is able to activate several signaling pathways through the activation of different G proteins as well as arrestin-2. Furthermore, compelling anatomical and physiological evidence suggests a strong interaction between the CB1 and D2 receptors. Given this interaction between CB1 and D2 receptors, drugs that block or activate either receptor will influence convergent
