the WWA. The man, whose name was Richard, explained to Allor about Lila’s special abilities, and how she would be put into Magicae Academy and learn how to control her powers. The school accepted ages 5-20, and the students spent nearly fifteen years there studying and practicing magic, along with learning the regular curriculum of the American school system. The students would stay at the academy throughout the school year, September through May, and come home during the summer. Lila was in…

Intrinsic Cardiac Activity: The first peak of the electrocardiogram graph corresponded to the atrial contraction of the heart. The second peak of the electrocardiogram graph corresponded to the ventricular contraction of the heart. The third peak observed corresponded to the relaxation of the heart. Frank-Starling Mechanism: There was no significant trend observed in ventricular contractile force in response to increasing imposed length of the heart (Fig 1a). A maximum ventricular contractile…

side effects, cannabinoids are shown to have a significant neuro-modulatory function in decreasing CINV.1 CB1 cannabinoid receptors are present in the central nervous system, while recent evidence proposes that CB2 receptors are present on brainstem neurons. Both CB1 and CB2 receptors may have a role in mediating the cannabinoid effects on vomiting. Whether through a CB1 receptor agonist or with CB2 binding, cannabinoids directly and indirectly affect serotonin,…

Disorders of sexual development (DSD) have been a topic of great interest as of late. Intersex, at its most basic definition, is when one does not ‘fit’ into the binary gender structure most commonly subscribed to in Western civilization; or, rather, having a variation of sexual characteristics or a combination other than the more common female to XX and male to XY. Research shows that 1.7% of the population has a DSD, considering the current population of the U.S., that would be approximately…

or specialized proteins that protect the immune system, which were most likely produced as part of the body’s response to the patients’ teratomas (Dalmau 63). Basically, teratomas contain various cell types that, when they cross-react with NMDA receptors, which can affect memory and learning in the brain, basically make one’s system vulnerable to a breakdown of the immune system. This creates a confusion in the body that produces autoantibodies which…

moderate to severe pain usually associated with postoperative pain or neoplastic disease. (Tiziani, 2010) Morphine produces pharmacological actions such as pain relief, by acting on receptors located on neural cell membranes. (News Medical, 2015) Morphine simulates the actions of endorphins and enkephalins at opioid receptors, (Bryant & Knights, 2011) The capabilities of morphine span further than just the treatment of pain, it can be used to supress an unproductive…

Causes The causes of Parkinson’s Disease remain unknown, however there have been several theories as to what could cause the debilitating disease. Factors such as age, and genetic predisposition play a major role in the development of the disease. The disease is most common in those over sixty, however, it could take over twenty years for symptoms to develop. Age is the most common factor in the development of the disease, however if the disease is detected early, then it is most likely due to…

Classified as a complex brain disease, SUD is treatable, according to the USA National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) principles of treatment [NIDA, 2008]. Given the aforementioned multiple factors, contributing to the development of SUD, its complex presentation, and associated disease burden; treatment of SUD is rated as significantly challenging. Delivering effective SUD treatment and care requires a comprehensive response, illustrated as core services and interventions delivered, within a…

increasing levels cannabis metabolites leads to paradoxical vomiting seen with long term use6 .Cannabidiol is one of the metabolite which is a partial agonist at CB receptors thus acting as an agonist in lower concentration and antagonist at higher levels 6.Cannabigerol is a metabolite of cannabis which is antagonist of cannabis at the receptors .These metabolites tend to accumulate in chronic users and hence there is latency period before onset of symptoms in THC users6. Studies have…

The first receptor I will be doing is the Somatostatin receptor there is so much behind this receptor. Somatostatin (SST), otherwise called somatotropin discharge restraining variable (SRIF), is a hypothalamic hormone, a pancreatic hormone, and a focal and fringe neurotransmitter. Somatostatin has a wide conveyance all through the focal sensory system (CNS) and also in fringe tissues, for instance in the pituitary, pancreas and stomach. The different activities of somatostatin are intervened by…
