Prenatal alcohol exposure can interfere with neurotransmitter production, reception, and cellular calcium ion function in the brain. This results in varying deficiencies in multiple neurotransmitter systems among individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). As a consequence, people with FASD often respond differently to psychotropic medications aimed at restoring neurotransmitter levels, since the medications may affect deficient neurotransmitter systems in different ways depending on the individual. Doctors should understand how FASD impacts neurotransmitter functioning in order to properly assess patients and prescribe psychotropic medications tailored to their specific needs.

Running head: Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia
Classes of drugs used to treat schizophrenia
The most significant common medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia is antipsychotic medication. There are two types of drugs that are typical and atypical, both work to reduce the positive or negative effects of schizophrenia. Antipsychotic drugs are used to treat mental, emotional and psychosis conditions. Psychosis refers to the state in which an individual loses touch with reality; the individual starts having hallucinations or delusions.
To alleviate the problem antipsychotic drugs are used to regulate the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Explain their action at the neurotransmitter system.
Schizophrenia is linked to changes in the activities of the neurotransmitter in some specific parts of the brain. Antipsychotic medication affects this neurotransmitter affecting their activity too. The medication acts by interfering with the chemical messengers and controlling or lessening the symptoms of the disorder like mood swings, hallucinations, and delusions. There are mainly two types of antipsychotic drugs that is typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs.
They work by altering dopamine and serotonin receptors. Typical antipsychotics or first generation psychotics were manufactured first in the 1950s. Its function is to block dopamine receptor known as a D2 receptor. Atypical antipsychotics or the second generation antipsychotics were introduced in the 1990s. Just like typical antipsychotic, they block D2 receptors as well as a serotonin receptor known as a 5-HT2A receptor.
Analyze and describe the agonist-antagonist activity of the drugs and the receptor types and subtypes involved in the disorder.
Partial agonists have a lower rate of activity than full agonists at the receptors. This allows them to function as either a functional agonist or functional antagonist depending on the levels of the neurotransmitter (full agonist). If a neurotransmitter is not present partial agonist display a functional antagonist activity. This is as a result of receptor binding reducing any response with the neurotransmitter.
Partial agonist in dopamine D2 receptors is an alternative option when treating schizophrenia. It acts as a functional antagonist mesolimbic dopamine pathway, and the excessive dopamine activity causes positive symptoms. However, reduced dopamine activity in the mesocortical pathway causes cognitive impairment and negative symptoms.
Elaborate on the receptor agonist-antagonist actions of the drugs and describe the most common side effects seen with these drugs.
Inhibition of dopamine function is the most common feature of antipsychotic drugs. D4 receptor activation in moderate levels helps antipsychotic agents protect the brain from negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. D2 and D3 receptors help improve positive symptoms of schizophrenia but are not successful in countering negative and cognitiv.

Abstract
A 15-year-old girl diagnosed with FASD underwent 100 courses of hyperbasic oxygen therapy (HBOT). Prior to HBOT, single motion emission compute tomographic begin imaging (SPECT)
revealed areas of hypo-perfusion bilaterally in the orbitofrontal region, temporal lobes and right dorsolateral—frontal, as well the medial aspect of the left cerebellum. Following two sets of HBOT treatments (60 plus 40), over 6 months, there was improvement in perfusion to the left cerebellum as well as the right frontal lobe. This was paralleled by improvement in immediate cognitive tests and an increase in functional brain volume. A follow-up 18 months after HBOT showed sustained
improvement in attention with no need for methylphenidate, as well as in math skills and writing.

Abstract
Background
Despite the high prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), there are few interventions targeting its core neurocognitive and behavioral deficits. FASD is often conceptualized as static and permanent, but interventions that capitalize on brain plasticity and critical developmental windows are emerging. We present a long-term follow-up study evaluating the neurodevelopmental effects of choline supplementation in children with FASD 4 years after an initial efficacy trial
Abstract
This presentation includes a brief review of research into boredom, normal brain resting state and corresponding default mode[s].
The possible equivalence to the brain activity of those with FASD in relation to “being bored” is explored, with reference to brain anatomy and function.
Actual FASD clinical cases are presented to illustrate what individuals with FASD mean by “boredom”: describing the role of perseveration as a relief process.
Finally, the manner in which these processes are misinterpreted is explored, with implications for Psychiatry and the Justice System.

IMPORTANCE Research to date has not determined a safe level of alcohol or tobacco use during pregnancy. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a noninvasive measure of cortical function that has previously been used to examine effects of in utero exposures and associations with
neurodevelopment.
OBJECTIVE To examine the association of prenatal exposure to alcohol (PAE) and tobacco smoking (PTE) with brain activity in newborns.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that even low levels of PAE or PTE are
associated with changes in offspring brain development.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Why do those with fasd react to medications so differently
1. Why do those with fasd react to medications so differently?
Up to now, psychotropic medications act on neurotransmitters.
They may act in different ways but the aim is to restore the levels of the
neurotransmitter to what is considered to be its normal level.
Wikipedia. “Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that
enable neurotransmission. It is a type of chemical messenger
which transmits signals across a chemical synapse, such as
a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to
another "target" neuron, muscle cell, or gland
cell.[1] Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles in
synapses into the synaptic cleft, where they are received
by neurotransmitter receptors on the target cells.”
Prenatal alcohol may interfere with all these steps of neurotransmitter
production and reception.
An important result of pae is interference with cellular calcium ion
function, which will contribute to the problem.
Since those with FASD can have these multiple neurotransmitter
deficiencies to varying degrees it is inevitable that they will have
varying responses to psychotropic medications.
This is why those who prescribe psychotropic medications should have
an understanding of fasd, and assess their patients accordingly before
prescribing them.
