Caffeine-Based Energy Drinks

If caffeine can cause people to believe that a certain drink tastes more pleasant, then it might be indicative of those people’s dependence on the drug. Since this study was a double blind study it is less likely to have significant researcher bias involved. This study is also one that I could possibly recreate but maybe for a shorter

Energy drinks increase physical performance, things like increased stamina, agility, and overall quickness are all of physical benefits of energy drinks. They don’t only improve physical performance they also improve mental performance. Things like increasing focus, quick thinking, and the enhancement of being able to multitask. There are many other benefits like memory enhancement, muscle contraction, and boosting energy levels. Energy drinks has its downsides like everything else.

Drug tolerance may be directly contributed by the compensatory nature of the drug-conditioned response. When the environmental cues and the drug are paired constantly over and over again, the conditioned response that is compensatory drawn by those cues, will tend to grow progressively bigger and would curtail the direct effect of the drug. A view as such is consistent with the demonstrations which morphine analgesic tolerance is precise to the circumstances that form the setting where the drug is administered (Siegel, 1975, 1976, Siegel, Hmson, & Krank, 1978). At a more surprising level, the development of morphine tolerance can be weakened by prior injections of morphine with an explicitly conditioning procedure. These outcomes are predicted in a uniquely manner by a model of conditioning of drug tolerance (Siegel, 1983).

One of these more susceptible groups is pregnant women. According Sarah Russell, a postgraduate student at Vanderbilt University, in her paper on the effects of caffeine on pregnant women, “Recent studies have shown that consuming more than 300 milligrams of caffeine a day will increase one’s chances of a miscarriage, and… high levels of caffeine may also cause birth defects, preterm delivery, reduced fertility and low birth weight.” The paper goes on to state that a fetus takes almost ten times as long to break down caffeine as the adult body does (Russell, Sarah). To explain this further, so as to make it easier to understand, pregnant women can only consume 75% of the amount of caffeine the average person can without risking major problems for the

Elevated low-density lipoproteins or LDL cholesterol is strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.48 The majority of the cholesterol in the blood is contained in low-density lipoprotein which transports cholesterol from the liver to nerve tissues, cell membranes, and other cells for metabolic purposes. The cholesterol in atherosclerotic plague is derived mainly from excess LDL cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein is believed to function as a retrieval service, removing cholesterol from the circulation to the liver for excretion.48 For this reason, HDL is often referred to as the “healthy” or “good” cholesterol. Accumulation of more and more fatty substances in the walls of the arteries result in stenosis (occlusion) of the lumen of the blood vessel that decreases the blood flow volume. The rough surface created by atherosclerotic plague increases the probability of a thrombosis because the platelets are designed to aggregate or attach to the rough surfaces.

This will make the total amount of blood to the blood vessels, which will lead to the blood pressure too. If we take high salt on food will lead to clotting to our blood vessels. So try to reduce the over usage of salt to our food to avoid the damages to our blood vessels of the body. In research of human studies have proven that the the high intake sodium can make the arteries stiffness and it will lead to the damage to the flow of blood to our human body.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, what constitutes an energy drink is any carbonated beverage that typically contains caffeine and other ingredients intended to increase the drinker’s energy. Society has heard many positive and negative ideas about whether or not drinking an energy drink is good for the drinker. There are multiple brands targeting the over-worked and sleep deprived persons. Personally, I have tried Monster, Red Bull, and Rockstar. There are many health risks that are associated with energy drinks such as; tachycardia, high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, and in some cases, even death.

Dependence can occur even within the normal doses of tramadol. There are numerous drug interactions with tramadol, for example, CNS depressant effect of alcohol are enhanced when used with tramadol. Furthermore, serotonin syndrome can result from the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors with tramadol as they increase the serotonergic effect of tramadol. Moreover, it is contraindicated in people who have experienced hypersensitivity to tramadol, or opioid analgesics and during monoamine oxidase inhibitor

Bronchial asthma might be caused by steroid drugs for this patient. Figure- 26 (Pinterest, 2017)Moon face buffalo hump Investigation done: WBC- normal cortisol- normal but because of drug usage it will artificially increase.

However, you must not use garcinia cambogia if you are already using a prescription medication to manage your cholesterol levels. Possible Side Effects of Garcinia Cambogia The following are some of the reported adverse effects of Garcinia cambogia: • Diarrhea or upset stomach • Headache • Dry mouth • Dizziness The US Food and Drug Administration or FDA in 2009 has released a public warning from using a weight reduction product that contained Garcinia cambogia due to some reports from people who suffered from liver problems after using it. It was not clear though that garcinia cambogia was to blame because most products contain other components as well.

The specified medication involved in treating the disorder involves the application of ADHD stimulants meaning that if the drug is taken as prescribed by the medical doctor, the behavior and attention insignificance will be reduced remarkably. ADHD drugs are commonly abused by people through injection, insufflation, even rectal administration of the pills. Different research conducted has illustrated the illegal use of ADHD medication for their stimulating properties. Research indicates that students using the drug as a stimulant shows a positive increase in performance and cognitive skills (Vester, Brady and Galanter 78). Additionally, college students abusing the drug through using it as a stimulant state believe that the drug revives the body and the brain hence increase the ability to focus academically.

My group recorded higher heart rate compare to the class average when we used caffeine on the Daphnia as seen in Figure 2. Several errors could have accounted for this data. This including perhaps the Daphnia’s heart rate may have changed because of fear while being moved from the bowl to the microscope slide. Another possible error could have also been the amount of time that it took to change the solutions, which could have accounted for slight variations in heart rate. Temperature is yet a further error to account for as the microscope slide temperature was constantly changing to view the specimen, and change the dosage of caffeine or alcohol.

De Leon, Carisse Alliyah Ms. Ellis AVID Health Survey P6 11/17/17 Bromo Dragonfly Research Paper The Bromo Dragonfly--also known as Bromo-benzodifuranyl-isopropylamine, 3C-Bromo-Dragonfly, or DOB-Dragonfly-- is an uncommon drug, mainly known in the United Kingdom and in the United States. Although it is not really known around the world, many countries/states have put restrictions on the use of this drug due to its potential of being abused. While the drug does not have many long term effects, if it is not used in moderation, it can be very dangerous and may even result in death.
