Why does the potassium conductance turn on more slowly and last longer than the sodium conductance?...
Why does the potassium conductance turn on more slowly and last longer than the sodium conductance? When the membrane potential is depolarised sufficiently the action potential cease. This is the phenomena of spreading depression that occurs in the cerebral cortex and may underlie migraine headaches. Why are spontaneous APs generated? How does the time course of recovery from Na+ channel inactivation compare to the time course of the refractory period following an action potential? Are these two processes related?

Title: Multifactorial intervention with nurse practitioners does not change cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease. Strict implementation of guidelines directed at multiple targets reduces vascular risk in diabetic patients. Whether this also applies to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is uncertain.

The primary end point was a...

Discuss the pharmacokinetics of children 1 year old or older. Discuss reasons pediatric patients are subject to adverse drug reactions when drug levels rise too high. Discuss dosage determination, noting that pediatric doses have been established for some drugs but not for others and, therefore, for drugs that do not have established pediatric doses, the doses can be extrapolated from adult doses. Discuss the appropriate steps in determining exposure to teratogens. Discuss drug therapy during breast-feeding and the potential risks...
