Things to blog about 2 days to exam
1) i think someone is stuck in the lift, and pressing the alarm in vain.
2) the 10 pm shuttle buses are full to the brim from muggers flowing out from libraries. i was caught in the wave, i got up the bus, last stop for the journey, stood at the stairs, i looked up and see the waist of the guy next to me.
3) i know that i've been studying my pharm prac when: i know alka setlzer is an anti-hangover drug and orlistat causes one to slim down, together with flatulence and fatty stools.
4)"pharmaceutical care is a prescription of what pharmacist should be doing" is it a pun or a typo?
5) sucking on hard candy will increase salivation, and thus increase the amount of air swallowed. so lollipops keep you from bingeing because they cause bloating.

my bf showed me this biochem lecture at berkeley, i enjoyed the lecture very much, much much more than LSM 2101, although it's exactly the same syllabus. anyway, the reason why he wanted to show me the lecture was for another reason to why i paid attention to the lecture. the lecturer added trivia at the end of the lecture, which was very interesting. one on caffeine... and one on viagra.
caffeine is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase. phosphodiesterase hydrolyses cAMP so it's no longer a 2nd messenger. and so, with less hydrolysis of cAMP, we get longer and more intense effects of whatever cAMP actives. thus, the effects of caffeine.
one of the effects of cAMP is that of lowering blood pressure. so, scientist found this drug, viagra, which is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor too. so they administered viagra to everybody at a nursing home. after awhile, the new drug didn't manage to lower blood pressure so they stopped giving the folks viagra. but a riot broke out, against the termination of the clinical study. and it was found that this new drug has other properties.
thus, this led to the discovery of phosphodisesterase selectivity. cause, viagra is an inhibitor for the phosphodiesterase which hydrolyses cGMP. and cGMP is responsible for "increased attention" and blurred/blue vision caused by viagra.
