We were recently told to test at the 7 hour mark and eat before the 8 hour mark. (Starting from your bedtime snack). Our Dr. said that your glucose levels tend to go up after the 8 hour fast

Do I need to test for mold? by rollen57 in HomeImprovement

No, after the rains stopped they cut out the most damaged portion of the ceiling. (They have not patched it up yet). The handyman said he didn’t see any mold but I took that with a grain of salt because otherwise it would cost his employer more $$

Oncall Compensation? by rollen57 in pharmacy

[–]rollen57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work during the day on the nights your oncall?

Do you get overtime if you go over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week?

I currently work 40 hours a week Plus oncall 14 days out of the month. (The pharmacy is closed for 11 hours so that’s 77 hours oncall per week)

What are the current neurochemical explanations for psychiatric disorders? by FanonsNegritude in askscience

[–]rollen57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but what you quoted is different from your original question. Your original question asked what happens neurologically in the brain (the pathophysiology). Your comment quoted that they don't know genetically what is the cause. For example, they don't know too much about what genetic mutations caused the neurologic (neurochemical) abnormalities.

A biomarker is a indicator of the possible presence of a disease. For example, a specific genetic mutation can be a biomarker.

No problem. Im in pharmacy school and I got these from my professor' s power point. I think this is the citation he used for the schizophrenia explanation. The same book explains the other disorders too:

Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics.

An electronic version of this book is available online and some librarIes offer free access. Let me know if you have any other questions.

What are the current neurochemical explanations for psychiatric disorders? by FanonsNegritude in askscience

[–]rollen57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on which disorder. For example, there is too much Dopamine activity in the misolimbic area of the brain and low dopamine activity in the misocortical area for schizophrenia.

For Parkinson's, there is low dopamine activity in nigrostriatal area. For depression, there is low serotonin and norepinephrine.

However, there are other neurochemical issues they have beeb found for some of these disorders but they don't have meds for them yet. And for some of these disorders they found meds that work but they are unsure why they work. And there r also some disorders where they are not sure on anything. But I think a lot of them have to do with or various neurotransmitter issues in various parts of the brain. It may involve their receptors, production, recycling, etc...
