categorized as typical (first line) and atypical (second-generation) anti-psychotics. They have distinct properties that vary in terms of mechanism and side-effects. All types of antipsychotics manipulate dopaminergic D2-receptors while most of them also affect other monoamines as antagonists. The following table differentiates the advantages and disadvantages of the two types: Typical drugs Atypical drugs Does not cause galactorroeha, but has the potential to cause extra-pyramidal…

matrix. Multiple studies have indicated that VEGF is expressed at higher levels in the underlying dermis, in epidermal keratinocytes, and in capillary lining cells and fibroblasts of keloids in comparison with normal skin. VEGFs bind to a family of receptor tyrosine kinases (VEGFR-1(FLT1),VEGFR-2( KDR/FLK1),VEGFR-3( FLT 4) . VEGFR-2 is very important for angiogenesis which is highly expressed in endothelium. Antibodies against VEGF are approved for the treatment for several tumours such as renal…

The optimum length of a muscle to deliver maximum tension is slightly greater than the resting length of the muscle. This can be related back to the discussion earlier. Many people do not squat deep enough because the length of their muscles is allowing them to push back up with less effort, due to the length-tension relationship. However, this is how injuries to joints and ligaments can occur. It is much harder to fully squat because fewer cross bridges are making contact within the muscle, so…

as it dilates the blood vessels resulting in lower blood pressure. Common examples of ACE inhibitors: Zestril (lisinopril), Vasotec (enalapril), Captopril (captopen), Altace (Ramipril), Coversyl (perindopril), Mavik (trandolapril). c) Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBS): It works by preventing the arteries (small blood vessels) from constricting (getting smaller/thinner). This helps reduce blood pressure. Common examples of ARBS include: Diovan (Valsartan), Atacand…

Menstrually related Migraine (MM) and Pregnancy A normal female goes through a number of hormone related changes during her lifetime: menarche, pregnancy, contraceptive use, menopause, and sex hormones. A review of literature has shown that migraine is twice as prevalent in women as men.

drugs, typical and atypical, both tend to block the ladopaminic receptor pathway in the brain. Some side effects include weight gain, agranulocytosis, dyskinesia and tardive akathisia. The aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotics. Atypical antipsychotics are a heterogeneous group of unrelated, except for the fact that its mechanism of action differs from typical antipsychotic drugs. Many have the common power to act on serotonin receptors and dopamine…
