The treatment of long-term alcohol addiction

/0 Comments/in /by

The addiction lab at the  Neuroscience  Institute of  Victoria is working with a small start-up pharmaceutical company to try and formulate a  new drug for the market in the treatment of long-term alcohol addiction.  In the lab, pharmacological studies in vodka-addicted rats have shown that administration of the drug in quite high doses has been successful in reducing alcohol intake.    In vitro studies suggest that the drug interacts with both the dopamine and  GABA receptors in the brain.

What are the co-iterations that need to be made when making a  drug that needs to cross the blood-brain barrier?

Discuss how you think this drug is reducing alcohol intake.  In your answer you s, ld consider the pharmacology of both neurotransmitters.

Compare this potential drug to other drugs involved in treating alcohol addiction.a

Legacies of racial and ethnic constructs

/0 Comments/in /by

On this National Geographic page, I read “humans share over 99 percent of their genetic material with one another, and variation occurs more between individuals than ethnic groups. Nevertheless, the legacies of racial and ethnic constructs can be spotted in everything from housing to health.” What are your thoughts on categorizing race with regard to health?

For this assignment, your group will be looking at the role of interdisciplinary communication regarding professionalism in the workplace. Consider all the different types of communication that take place within a healthcare environment and what kinds of barriers could potentially hinder communication

The importance of having trauma-informed agencies

/0 Comments/in /by

The importance of having trauma-informed agencies in the communities. please reflect on a time you or someone you know experienced a type of traumatic event.

What resources were available to you at that time? What resources would have been helpful? Were you or your friend or family member knowledgeable about all community resources prior to the incident? Were there any real or perceived barriers to accessing these facilities?

Were you previously familiar with these resources? why or why not? If you were familiar with the resources, please provide information regarding the agency such as mission statement, preferred treatment modalities (if available), etc. you may utilize the NCTSN website for assistance or google.

while creating this journal, please also document any/all emotions that you experienced.

Also, now that you have started your Community Agency Proposal Project, be sure to record any similarities that you encountered and if you now have a better understanding of the way the organization was operating.

What is important in a trauma-informed approach?

The Guiding Values/Principles of Trauma-Informed Care

The Five Guiding Principles are; safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment. Ensuring that the physical and emotional safety of an individual is addressed is the first important step to providing Trauma-Informed Care.

Development of assessment in counseling

Identify one historical event or development and discuss ways it has impacted the development of assessment in counseling.
Distinguish between formal and informal assessment and explain how the historical event you selected might influence your use of formal and informal assessments in your future counseling practice.
Then, describe one way you might use informal assessments and one way you might use formal assessments in your future counseling practice.
Finally, identify two skills you currently possess and two skills you need to further develop related to assessment that would help you fully integrate formal and informal assessment into your future counseling practice.
Explain how you might further develop the skills you identified. Be specific and use examples to support your post.

Signal transduction pathways

/0 Comments/in /by

You are studying the effects of three new neuropeptide drugs in culture. You find that drug A causes a short-term increase in a K+ current. Drug B causes a short-term increase in a Cl– current. Adding drugs A and B together results in a long-term increase in the number of Ca++ channels in addition to the effect that each drug has on its own. Adding drug C results only in a short-term increase in the Na+ current. Assume that each drug affects a different receptor and that no receptor directly binds to more than one drug.

PLEASE DRAW (not just verbally explain) possible signal transduction pathways that could account for the effects of drugs A, B, and C (Note that there are many possible pathways that could work here.)

Factors that could influence sex

/0 Comments/in /by

Sex determination is explained based on different philosophies. In humans, sex is determined based on chromosomes, the X and Y chromosomes. However, unlike humans, the determination of the sex of fish does not depend on the chromosomes. There are several factors that could influence sex. Temperature is a common factor. Certain temperature ranges favor females over males sex and vice versa. These factors could influence sex determination, hence it is very flexible. These factors are said to influence the fate of both somatic and germ cells. In this case, if the group of fish has the same or identical genome but is incubated at varying temperatures, they will have different sexes.

The concepts of self-awareness

Identify and explain the concepts of self-awareness, self-esteem, and perception in order to gain a better understanding of each as well as increase your perceptual accuracy.

Instructions:

  1. Review concepts related to self-awareness, including The Four Selves, that you explored in the textbook and in the learning activities.
  2. Consider the fact that an individual’s self-awareness combined with an individual’s perception of a situation often varies and differences in both can influence how a communication interaction transpires.
  3. Reflect on a time when the perception of others — the impression you made — was particularly important (your firstIdentify and explain the concepts of self-awareness, self-esteem, and perception in order to gain a better understanding of each as well as increase your perceptual accuracy.

    3. Reflect on a time when the perception of others — the impression you made — was particularly important (your first date with someone, the first day of college, the first day on a new job, etc.).
    4. What kind of impression did you want to make and why? What did you do to ensure others perceived you how you wanted them to? Were your attempts effective?
    5. Write a two- to three-page paper, not counting the title page and the references page, that describes the event, differences of perception, and defines the concepts of self-awareness and perception.
    6. While including cited terms and concepts is important, the bulk of this paper should be about your own experience.

    Suggested structure: Introduction paragraph that includes a main idea, multiple body paragraphs with evidence and support, and conclusion paragraph that wraps it up.
