The priority nursing intervention should be to ensure that small clamps are attached to the arteriovenous shunt dressing.

An external arteriovenous shunt is a less common type of access site, but when it is utilized, there is a danger of bleeding since the ends of the external cannula are linked after being tunneled into an artery and a vein beneath the skin.

The client could experience fast blood loss if there is an unintentional disconnect. Because of this, tiny clamps are attached to the dressing that covers the insertion site and are ready for use as required. Additionally, the shunt site needs to be examined at least every 4 hours. Look for bruit and excitement in the shunt to see whether it is functioning properly.

Evidence suggests that _____ may be a final common target of antidepressant treatment.
Talja [164]

Evidence suggests that cAMP response-element-binding protein (CREB) may be a final common target of antidepressant treatment.

Antidepressant medications work by binding to a number of monoamine neurotransmitter receptors and activating the cAMP signal transduction pathway. Chronic antidepressant therapy has been linked to the cAMP signalling system. Increases in cAMP cause the cAMP response element-binding protein(CREB) to be phosphorylated more frequently via increased receptor adenylate cyclase activity .

CREB mediates transcriptional responses to increased cAMP levels by attaching to cAMP response element (CRE) sites.In order to prevent recurring episodes, treatment for depression should maintain therapeutic efficacy while also addressing behavioural symptoms and indicators of the illness. One important modulator of the transcriptional effects of antidepressants may be CREB.
