need i remind you that ronald weasley, aged eleven, didn’t know that he had just sat in ~the harry potter~’s compartment and offered half of his sandwich to this random boy on the train who he’d only just met, because he was all alone and seemed to have no food,

i’m sick of the ron slander

Distribution of calcium in the body

Bone calcium (99%)

Ca^2+ and PO4^3+ form hydroxyapatite

Plasma calcium

Diffusible pool

~50% of plasma calcium is free/unbound ionic Ca2+ (physiologically important form)

~10% of plasma calcium is complexed with small molecular weight compounds (citrate, phosphate)

Non-diffusible pool

~40% of plasma calcium is bound to calcium-binding proteins and plasma proteins (albumin)

The body utilises plasma albumin-bound calcium as a circulating reserve

Basic pharmacology of neuromuscular junction

ACh acts on N2 receptors (ligand-gated Na+/K+ receptors)

Block Na+ channels that propagate nerve impulse - local anaesthetics (lidocaine), tetrodotoxin

Inhibit ACh release - tetanus toxin, botulinum toxin

Competitive antagonists - vecuronium

N2 agonists - suxamethonium

Flaccid paralysis

Only cleared by plasma cholinesterase

Reversible anticholinesterases - edrophonium, neostigmine, physostigmine

Block activity of AChE

Diagnose and treat myasthenia gravis and treat glaucoma respectively

Irreversible anticholinesterases - organophosphates (pesticides, nerve gases)

Long-lived flaccid paralysis

Treat with pralidoxime within 10 minutes - cleaves OP-AChE complex

Management of acute MI

Reduce anginal pain

Morphine (+ anti-emetic)

Oxygen

Nitrate

Initiate reperfusion

Anti-platelet (aspirin, clopidogrel)

Thrombolytic (rtPA)

Primary angioplasty (PTCA)

Anticoagulant (heparin)

Protect myocardium

Beta-blocker

ACE inhibitor

Secondary prevention

Aspirin

Lipid-lowering (statin)

Lifestyle

Helpful mnemonic foe MI treatment.

Carpal bones mnemonic

So Long Till Pinky, Here Comes The Thumb

Scaphoid

Lunate

Triquetrum

Pisiform

Hamate

Capitate

Trapezoid

Trapezium

Long time no see! I had to give the uni laptop back and don't currently have one (that works) and I usually don't use tumblr on my phone so this is strange.

My exams are done now, I've tried to decompress from them. I spent some time with my boyfriend which always makes me feel good (he's literally the best).

Today I packed up my first-year dorm and took it home. Maybe it would be more emotional if it weren't so chaotic. Getting everything in the car was... a struggle. I now have to somehow find space in my room for it all. I can also use the shed for storage which is helpful.

Draco wakes in old familiar surroundings, but has no memory of how it happend. He wakes in his childhood room in his 11 year old body, but even as it seems like he traveled back in time his body is not unmarked of the war he went through. Old scars remain on his skin. How will he handle this new challenge? Will he fall into old habits and keep history repeating itself or does he step in and take destiny in his own hand.

I plan this to be very long and spanning over all years of the war. And very slow burn.
