Nervous systems are thus faced with a fundamental problem: how to allow plastic mechanisms to shape their output and function‚ without compromising the stability and integrity of the underlying circuits that drive behavior. Homeostatic plasticity mechanisms that allow neurons to sense how active they are and to adjust their properties to maintain stable function Given the complexity of most central neural circuits‚ maintaining stability in function is a problem that permeates

This‚ combined with the effects produced by nicotine‚ creates an imbalance in the demand for oxygen by the cells and the amount of oxygen the blood is able to supply. This imbalance causes a tobacco high‚ and most of the times‚ light

This would stimulate Kussmaul respirations to exhale accumulation of CO2. If this kind of breathing continues it can result in respiratory alkalosis (overcorrection). This situation is a medical emergency because these changes lead to imbalances in blood PH and electrolyte loss. If potassium levels rise‚ it can effect

Scales and Pilsworth (2008) identified three elements for assessing fluid balance and hydration status: clinical assessment‚ review of fluid balance charts and review of blood chemistry. The physical symptoms of fluid imbalance as present in Appendix n.2 are part of the clinical assessment and should be never omitted when drawing a picture of overall patient hydration status. McMillen (2011) described the fluid balance chart as a record of a patient’s fluid input and output

According to the two process model of sleep regulation the timing and structure of sleep are determined by the interaction of a homeostatic and a circadian process. The original qualitative model was elaborated to quantitative versions that included the ultradian dynamics of sleep in relation to the non rem-rem sleep cycle.

The bacteria‚ which are found in fecal-contaminated food and water and in raw or undercooked seafood‚ produce a toxin that affects the intestines causing diarrhea‚ vomiting‚ and severe fluid and electrolyte loss. This overwhelming dehydration is the outstanding characteristic of the disease and is the main cause of death. Cholera has a short incubation period (two or three days) and runs a quick course. In untreated cases the death rate is high‚ averaging 50%‚ and as high as 90% in epidemics
