Serotonin Syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that is caused by elevated serotonin concentrations in a person's system.
This condition may be brought on by the use of "serotonergic" drugs, which include several types of antidepressants such as SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like Paxil and Celexa, tricyclics like amitriptyline and trimipramine, and MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) like Nardil and Parnate. Other substances which may contribute to serotonin syndrome include St. John's wort, cocaine, L-tryptophan, lithium, amphetamines, ecstasy and LSD.
In addition, some non-psychiatric drugs may affect the level of serotonin in the bloodstream. For this reason, it's essential that all your doctors who prescribe medications always know all medications and supplements you are currently taking. All of these drugs and substances affect the neurotransmitter serotonin in some way. Symptoms The most frequent symptoms of serotonin syndrome include: Psychomotor agitation. Psychomotor agitation is a series of unintentional and purposeless motions that stem from mental tension and anxiety of an individual.
This includes pacing around a room, wringing one's hands, pulling off clothing and putting it back on and other similar actions. In more severe cases, the motions may become harmful to the individual, such as ripping, tearing or chewing at the skin around one's fingernails or lips to the point of bleeding. Psychomotor agitation is a symptom typically found in major depressive disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder, and sometimes the manic phase in bipolar disorder, although it can also be a result of an excess intake of stimulants. The middle aged and the elderly are more at risk to express this condition[citation needed]. Treatment[edit] Hypervigilance. In hypervigilance, there is a perpetual scanning of the environment to search for sights, sounds, people, behaviors, smells, or anything else that is reminiscent of threat or trauma.
The individual is placed on high alert in order to be certain danger is not near. Hypervigilance can lead to a variety of obsessive behavior patterns, as well as producing difficulties with social interaction and relationships. Hypervigilance can be a symptom of post traumatic stress disorder[3] (PTSD) and various types of anxiety disorder. It is distinguished from paranoia. Paranoid states, such as those in schizophrenia, can seem superficially similar, but are characteristically different. Cheesemaking. Solve for X.

Bile bear. A bile bear in a “crush cage” on Huizhou Farm, China.
Bile bears or battery bears are bears kept in captivity to harvest bile, a digestive juice produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. The Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) is the species most commonly farmed, however, the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) and the brown bear (Ursus arctos) are also used. Both the Asiatic black bear and the sun bear are listed as Vulnerable on the World Conservation Union's (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Animals..[1] When extracted, the bears’ bile is a valuable commodity for sale as an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine.[2] Asiatic black bears are also known as moon bears because of the cream-colored crescent moon shape on their chest.
Bear bile collection occurs in China, North Korea, South Korea, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar.[3][4][5][6] History[edit] China was the first country to use bear bile and its gall bladder as an ingredient in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

'Lost World' reached: 20 million yr old Antarctic lake 'drilled' After 30 years spent drilling through a four-kilometer-thick ice crust, researchers have finally broken through to a unique subglacial lake. Scientists are set to reveal its 20-million-year-old secrets, and imitate a quest to discover ET life. The Vostok project breathes an air of mystery and operates at the frontiers of human knowledge. The lake is one of the major discoveries in modern geography; drilling operations at such depths are unprecedented; never before has a geological project required such subtle technologies.

I am optimistic about America, convinced that it can prosper in this new world and remain the most powerful country on the planet. But I argue that the age of American unipolarity — which began with the collapse of the Soviet Union — has ended.
For a quarter-century after the collapse of communism, the United States dominated the world with no real political or economic competitors. Its ideas and its model — the Washington consensus — became received wisdom everywhere. A Galaxy Full of Alien Planets (Infographic) Race to drill into Antarctic lake. 8 February 2012Last updated at 14:29 By Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News Vostok station is one of the most difficult places to work on Earth Russian scientists are reporting success in their quest to drill into Lake Vostok, a huge body of liquid water buried under the Antarctic ice.
It is the first time such a breakthrough has been made into one of the more than 300 sub-glacial lakes known to exist on the White Continent. Researchers believe Vostok can give them some fresh insights into the frozen history of Antarctica. Wall Photos. Walk of Shame Shuttle. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass Music Video slowed down.

Wikipedia operationally defines the incubation effect as any benefit of a break during problem solving. In Wallas’ (1926) four-stage model of innovative problem solving or creativity, the incubation stage is the stage in which one takes some time away from the problem (the stages are: preparation, incubation, illumination, verification). I too oftentimes experience this phenomenon while programming. To start answering your question about how the incubation effect works, I'll point to Segal's attention withdrawal and returning act hypotheses presented in the (2004) paper entitled Incubation in Insight Problem Solving.
To solve an insight puzzle [or a programming problem that one's stuck on], the solver must escape from the mental activity governed by the false assumption inside the deficient problem space.

And Aspies — the affectionate name that people diagnosed with Asperger syndrome call themselves — seem to be everywhere.
Considered to be at the high-functioning end of the spectrum, Asperger syndrome has become more loosely defined in the past 20 years, by both the profession and by lay people, and in many instances is now synonymous with social and interpersonal disabilities. But people with social disabilities are not necessarily autistic, and giving them diagnoses on the autism spectrum often does a real disservice. An expert task force appointed by the is now looking into the possibility of changing the way we diagnose Asperger.
True autism reflects major problems with receptive language (the ability to comprehend sounds and words) and with expressive language. Pitch and tone of voice in autism are off-kilter. Eventually, biological markers, now in the beginning stages of development, will help in separating autism-spectrum disorders from social disabilities. Ray Hammond, Futurologist, on Climate Chaos.
