These interventions have been known to lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body fat and improve sleep, academic performance, and productivity at work and in school (Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit (BPRU)). However, researchers have not been able to create a medication that alleviates the communication difficulties, social challenges, and repetitive behavior associated with Autism. Not enough research has been provided for researchers…

I have decided to choose Pharmacy Technician as my health care profession this field deals with drugs and making sure that we give the patient the right drug that the doctor has prescribed. In a pharmacy a technician has many different jobs to do in the pharmacy like for example checking the drugs to make sure they aren’t expired. If the technician doesn’t check to the drugs for expiration it will be a danger for the patient that is receiving the drug. They also have other jobs like in putting…

1. Please provide details as to the storage and protection for your data for the next 5 years There is a need to protect data and information that is useful and relevant to the field of pharmacology. The next five years will definitely have a lot of information and data that will be stored safely to avoid unauthorized access and make it easy to access and share with collaborators. Such is facilitated by the computing services provided by Bath University which allocate 1TB storage to academic…

Bailey Article 2: ACLS medications and intent Summary Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is the name given to a set of guidelines and recommendations produced by the American Heart Association to standardize healthcare provider response to cardiac arrest (Pozner, 2015). As time and research have progressed, ACLS guidelines have changed. Current recommendations, as of 2010, emphasize high quality chest compressions and early defibrillation, and that the evidence supporting these two…

Race should not be used to classify individuals by race. Studies on the effect of ethnicity on treatment and drug response are defined as ethno pharmacology. It affects the ability to access the health care system and the culture needs. The role of culture, health care providers and drug compliance would not be overemphasized. Evaluate the use of other complementary drugs and drugs to be included in…

some form of medication to treat the development of health conditions. Health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and high cholesterol, are more likely to occur. Most of these conditions require the administration of pharmacology. Geriatric patients are therefore more likely to be on medications, and often on multiple medications at once, a condition called polypharmacy. Age-related changes in the human body makes it more susceptible to the medications. As a result…

The route of drug administration can be referred to as where or how the drug is being taken. There are eight different routes for drug administration. The three most common types of routes are by inhalation, oral and by injection (subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous. In a brief summary I will discuss each route. Firstly the oral administration being the most common type, which is taken by mouth or by swallowing, is usually in the form of a pill, capsule or liquid. Oral administration is…

Inverse agonism has great potential as a possible therapeutic treatment option in the future” Inverse agonism: Inverse agonism is phenomenon associated with G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), in which inverse agonist binds to the same receptor as an agonist but induces an opposite pharmacological response to the agonist. For inverse agonist response the receptor must have an intrinsic activity in the absence of any ligand1,2. How inverse agonist act? According to the two state receptor theory,…

most of the time, it definitely changed the clinical position I previously had on medicating children. Previously, the stance on medication was that children should be medicated if it helps them. However, as research has continually exhibited, pharmacology and therapy are effective treatments when provided together (Glick, 2004). Children should absolutely be medicated if it helps them with their symptoms and can provided them a better quality of life. Medication has provided various options for…
