You may find it helpful to utilize the chapter materials provided on Blackboard for Chapter 15, Psychotomimetic Drugs of Abuse, which is located in the "Chapter 15" folder, inside of the ''Materials for Exam #3 folder. A patient, Mr. Kravitz, who is a 36-year-old man who comes to you, his family physician, because of persistent (radiating) low back pain that is interfering with his work Chief Complaint My lower back pain is out of control, and I have to miss too much work. How and When Did Problem Start: I started getting radiating low back pain about 6 years ago. Changes Since Problem Began My pain has gotten steadily worse and sometimes is so bad I cannot go to work.

Other than that, I have had a few minor snorts iniuries but no other maior surgeries or Open With Print

Explanation / Answer

1. There are several types of pain along with their associated pain precognition pathways.

2. Oxycodone is an analgesic opioid medication that is generally used for the relief of moderate-to-severe pain. After oxycodone binds to the MOR, a G protein-complex is released, which inhibits the release of neurotransmitters by the cell by reducing the amount of cAMP produced, closing calcium channels, and opening potassium channels.

3. The Amphetamines Are a group of drugs that are derived from the dextro-amphetamine structure.

In the therapeutic field, amphetamine is used to make medications such as Fenproprex or Clobenzorex, which increase brain stimulation.

The chemical characteristics of amphetamine include:

Molecular Formula: C9H13N

Physical characteristics:

Odor: Amine odor

Taste: Acrid burning taste

Boiling Point: 392 to 397° F at 760 mm Hg (200-203 deg C at 760 mm Hg)

Density: 0.913 at 77° F

Pharmacological activities:

Amphetamine is indicated for: 1. Narcolepsy 2. Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity as an integral part of a total treatment program which typically includes other remedial measures (psychological, educational, social) for a stabilizing effect in children with behavioral syndrome characterized by the following group of developmentally inappropriate symptoms: moderate to severe distractibility, short attention span, hyperactivity, emotional lability , and impulsivity.

Action on CNS:

Amphetamine(contracted from alpha-methylphenethylamine) is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity.The amphetamine class of drugs are direct releasers, as well as reuptake inhibitors, of dopamine and norepinephrine and these effects are demonstrable both in vivo and in vitro using brain slices or synaptosomes.

4. Cocaine is a strong stimulant drug.

Cocaine can cause serious long-term effects to the central nervous system, including an increased chance of heart attack, stroke, and convulsions, combined with a higher likelihood of brain seizures, respiratory failures, and, ultimately, death. An overdose of cocaine raises blood pressure to unsafe heights, often resulting in permanent brain damage or even

The physical properities are, it is solid (crystal) and colorless

The major chemical characteristics of cocaine are,

Molecular Weight 135.21 g/mol Hydrogen Bond Donor Count 1 Hydrogen Bond Acceptor Count 1 Rotatable Bond Count 2 Complexity 84.7
