- Levodopa belongs to a group of drugs called central nervous system agents. In order to work, it changes into dopamine in the brain.
- Decarboxylase inhibitors are a class of drugs that includes carbidopa. It works by preventing the breakdown of levodopa before it reaches the brain.
- Levodopa can now be used at a lower dosage, which results in less nauseousness and vomiting.
How can you help Dan understand his condition and how his medication, levodopa plus carbidopa (Sinemet), will help him?
- Organise a meeting with other PD patients to motivate him to thirve in life
- Be very patient with him
- Ask and clarify all his doubts
- Be approachable
- Explain about the positive outcomes of his life though he's having Parkinson disease
- If verbal communication is hindered ask and answer through sign language
- You educate yourself and him about symptoms, treatments, and the progression of the condition
- Set realistic goals for him

Answer:
René Laennec
Explanation:
<u><em>Have a good day :)</em></u>
- The phrenic nerve is derived from the cervical plexus and receives innervation from the C3, C4, and C5 nerve roots. It is the longest branch of the cervical plexus.
Why does phrenic nerve supply diaphragm?
- The C3-C5 spinal nerves in the neck give rise to the phrenic nerve, a mixed motor and sensory nerve.
- The diaphragm, the main muscle of respiration, is exclusively controlled by the nerve, making it essential for breathing.
What organ does this nerve supply?.
- The jejunum receives both intrinsic and extrinsic nerve supply.
- The preganglionic parasympathetic and postganglionic sympathetic branches of the celiac plexus provide the autonomic extrinsic supply.
- These neurons go via branches of the major vessels from the mesentery into the jejunum.
What are the 4 types of nerves?
It is conventional, however, to describe nerve types on the basis of their function: motor, sensory, autonomic or cranial.
- Motor Nerves.
- Sensory Nerves.
- Autonomic Nerves.
- Cranial Nerves.

Answer:
The processing power of the mammalian brain is derived from the tremendous interconnectivity of its neurons. An individual neuron can have several thousand synaptic connections. While these associations yield computational power, it is the modification of these synapses that gives rise to the brain's capacity to learn, remember and even recover function after injury. Inter-connectivity and plasticity come at the price of increased complexity as small groups of synapses are strengthened and weakened independently of one another (Fig. 1). When one considers that new protein synthesis is required for the long-term maintenance of these changes, the delivery of new proteins to the synapses where they are needed poses an interesting problem (Fig. 1). Traditionally, it has been thought that the new proteins are synthesized in the cell body of the neuron and then shipped to where they are needed. Delivering proteins from the cell body to the modified synapses, but not the unmodified ones, is a difficult task. Recent studies suggest a simpler solution: dendrites themselves are capable of synthesizing proteins. Thus, proteins could be produced locally, at or near the synapses where they are needed. This is an elegant way to achieve the synapse specific delivery of newly synthesized proteins.

Yes, a subtle one.
Explanation:
Symptoms of a panic attack are intense and disruptive. They often involve a sense of “unreality” and detachment. Anxiety symptoms vary in intensity, from mild to severe. Panic attacks appear suddenly, while anxiety symptoms become gradually more intense over minutes, hours, or days.
...
Now here's my take on it ( I have severe anxiety).
While Anxiety attacks take time to build up, panic attacks come out of nowhere (one moment you're fine, the next you can't breathe)
