Through this experience‚ I learned more about the effects and mechanisms of Epinephrine and Atropine‚ the documentation of CPR‚ and more about pediatric nursing care. I feel confident that I performed well with my communication and skills during the scenario. However‚ I feel I could have contributed to performing a more effective and

been conflicting as to which receptors cyclobenzaprine specifically binds‚ but the result is an increase in norepinephrine and decrease in serotonin reuptake. In linking multiple studies‚ it could be hypothesized that cyclobenzaprine acts on the serotonin receptors antagonistically thus decreasing serotonin reuptake. It could also bind to the α2-adrenoceptor agonistically increasing norepinephrine release. The resulting hormones would act on the gamma and alpha motor neurons inhibiting the firing rate

When I first started into my research‚ it seemed that every online RLS community‚ or article I read online‚ talked about the approach that scientists were taking due to the connection they’ve drawn between dopamine levels and RLS. Personally‚ I think they’re looking in the wrong direction. The direction they should be looking at is the relationship between inflammation and RLS. Dopamine may play a part in the long run‚ but it is a secondary concern. If you deal with the inflammation‚ you will

In general‚ acetylcholine increases the muscle cell’s permeability to calcium‚ while epinephrine decreases the cell’s permeability to calcium.
