Paroxetine‐induced QTc prolongation
There have been only two previous reports of paroxetine-induced corrected QT (QTc) prolongation on electrocardiogram (ECG). Here, we report a 43-year-old woman with QTc prolongation (476 ms). She had taken 50 mg of paroxetine for 17 days. Three days after discontinuation of paroxetine, QTc returned to within the normal limits (396 ms). Paroxetine blocks the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HER...
متن کاملNeural basis of drug-induced yawning
In a study of human yawning Robert Provine (1986) remarked that yawning is a prominent stereotyped action pattem and releasing stimulus which “does not deserve its current status as a minor behavioural curiosity”. Indeed, “yawning may have the dubious distinction of being the least understood, common, human behaviour”. In contrast, a large body of experimental data has been collected during the...
متن کاملRole of the adrenergic system in physostigmine-induced yawning
In this study the effect of adrenergic receptor agonists and antagonists on physostigmine induced yawning was investigated. Intraperitoneal injection of different doses of physostigmine (0.03, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) caused yawning in white rats. The greatest response was seen at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg physostigmine. Phenylephrine, an α1 agonist, and clonidine, an α2 agonist, led to a decrease in...
متن کاملTurmeric active substance, curcumin, enhanced apomorphine-induced yawning in rats
Objective: Curcumin is a major constituent of turmeric and influences many functions of the brain. In the present study, we investigated the effect of curcumin on yawning induced by apomorphine in rats. Materials and Methods: Curcumin administered orallyfor 10 consecutive days. Yawning was induced by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of apomorphine (a dopamine receptor agonist) and the number of ya...
متن کاملYawning Detection Sensitivity and Yawning Contagion
Contagious yawning-the urge to yawn when thinking about, listening to, or viewing yawning-is a well-documented phenomenon in humans and animals. The reduced yawn contagion observed in the autistic population suggested that it might be empathy related; however, it is unknown whether such a connection applies to nonclinical populations. We examined influences from both empathy (i.e., autistic tra...
