The guide contains three parts: General Prescription, General Pharmacology and Special Pharmacology. The part General Prescription contains the rules of making a prescription and writing out a prescription of some medicinal forms. Pharmacology course begins with this section. General Pharmacology studies the principles of medicinal substances actions on human and animal organisms at different levels (molecular, cellular, systemic) — pharmacodynamics as well as general regularities of absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion of medicinal substances — pharmacokinetics. This part of the guide contains practical tasks consolidating the knowledge of pharmacokinetic quantitative regularities and drugs dosage

  • Patterns Of, and Motivations for Illicit Drug Use Among Long Haul
    Fatigue and beyond: Patterns of, and motivations for illicit drug use among long haul truck drivers Naomi Richards BPsych (Hons) This thesis is submitted for the degree of Masters of Applied Science (Research) within the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety-Queensland (CARRS-Q), School of Psychology and Counselling, Queensland University of Technology 2004 Key words Drug use Drug use career Illicit drug use Road safety Truck drivers Abstract Long distance truck drivers are considered a special interest group in terms of drug driving research and policy due to high rates of use, involvement of drugs in truck accidents and the link between drug use and work related fatigue. Qualitative interview data was collected from 35 long haul truck drivers in South East Queensland and analysed using NVivo 2.0. High rates of licit and illicit drug use (particularly amphetamines) were reported. However, unlike previous studies which focus on fatigue, this research found overlapping and changing motivations for drug use during individual lifetimes. Using Becker’s model of a drug use ‘career’ it was revealed that some drivers begin illicit drug use before they begin truck driving. As well as fatigue, powerful motives such as peer pressure, wanting to fit the trucking ‘image’, socialisation, relaxation and addiction were reported. These may need to be considered along side fatigue in the development of effective drug prevention or cessation policies for truck drivers. Contents Page 1. Introduction 1 2. Literature Review 5 2.1.

  • The Effect of the Roots of Empathy Program on the Use of Psychotropic Medications Among Youth in Manitoba
    The effect of the Roots of Empathy program on the use of psychotropic medications among youth in Manitoba by Lindsey Dahl A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Community Health Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2017 by Lindsey Dahl Abstract Background: Psychotropic medications prescriptions to youth have increased. Roots of Empathy (ROE) is a social and emotional learning program that may influence the use of psychotropic medication. Methods: Administrative data was analyzed in a matched sample of children who received ROE during 2002/03 to 2012/13. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association between ROE and psychotropic medication dispensations. Results: Few significant differences were observed. Children who received ROE in kindergarten to grade 3 had a lower adjusted hazard for an anxiolytic dispensation. Children who received ROE in grade 7 to 8 had a higher hazard for an antipsychotic dispensation. Males who received the program had an increased hazard for an antipsychotic dispensation. Conclusion: There was no consistent differences in the likelihood of being dispensed a psychotropic medication between children who received ROE and children who did not in Manitoba. ii Acknowledgments I would like to first thank my thesis advisor Dr. Randy Fransoo of the Department of Community Health Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine at the University of Manitoba.

  • Why Millennials Are Consuming the Best Stimulants at an Accelerating Rate
    Why Millennials are Consuming the Best Stimulants at an Accelerating Rate Author : Bruno Souza The sudden spike of internet searches on the best places online to buy modafinil are mainly attributed to millennials. This data seems out of place right next to another statistic that says that millennials are sleeping more hours, compared to other generations. Since Modafinil is one of the best wakefulness promoting agents or stimulants currently available, these two statistics seem inconsistent. Before dismissing one or both of these findings, a closer look at the stats and other variables involved do support these findings. So why are millennials consuming the best stimulants at an accelerating rate? Are Millennials Really Sleeping Better? 1 / 8 A study by the United States Bureau of Labor and statistics show that millennials, or those who were born between 1981 and 1996 (approximately), sleep some 25 minutes longer each night. With an average duration of sleep each night for Americans at 6.8 hours, millennials are within the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep. Another positive data for millennials that came out of this study is that, despite the longer sleep hours, those who are employed are putting in more hours at work. This side data may support the data about stimulants, but more on that later. What may appear as improved sleep quality for millennials does have its naysayers. Some attribute the longer hours of sleep to unemployment as unemployment and underemployment rate among millennials are twice the national average. According to naysayers, this supposed better sleep quality may not be better at all because unemployment is causing an artificial spike in the data.

  • GPCR/G Protein
    Inhibitors, Agonists, Screening Libraries www.MedChemExpress.com GPCR/G Protein G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) perceive many extracellular signals and transduce them to heterotrimeric G proteins, which further transduce these signals intracellular to appropriate downstream effectors and thereby play an important role in various signaling pathways. G proteins are specialized proteins with the ability to bind the nucleotides guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and guanosine diphosphate (GDP). In unstimulated cells, the state of G alpha is defined by its interaction with GDP, G beta-gamma, and a GPCR. Upon receptor stimulation by a ligand, G alpha dissociates from the receptor and G beta-gamma, and GTP is exchanged for the bound GDP, which leads to G alpha activation. G alpha then goes on to activate other molecules in the cell. These effects include activating the MAPK and PI3K pathways, as well as inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger in the plasma membrane, and the lowering of intracellular Ca2+ levels. Most human GPCRs can be grouped into five main families named; Glutamate, Rhodopsin, Adhesion, Frizzled/Taste2, and Secretin, forming the GRAFS classification system. A series of studies showed that aberrant GPCR Signaling including those for GPCR-PCa, PSGR2, CaSR, GPR30, and GPR39 are associated with tumorigenesis or metastasis, thus interfering with these receptors and their downstream targets might provide an opportunity for the development of new strategies for cancer diagnosis, prevention and treatment. At present, modulators of GPCRs form a key area for the pharmaceutical industry, representing approximately 27% of all FDA-approved drugs. References: [1] Moreira IS.
