- A vagal episode or vasovagal response or vasovagal attack (also called neurocardiogenic syncope) is a malaise mediated by the vagus nerve. When it leads to fainting, also known as a syncope, it is called a vasovagal syncope, which is the most common type of fainting.

Overview Vasovagal syncope (vay-zoh-VAY-gul SING-kuh-pee) occurs when you faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. It may also be called neurocardiogenic syncope. The vasovagal syncope trigger causes your heart rate and blood pressure to drop suddenly. That leads to reduced blood flow to your brain, causing you to briefly lose consciousness. Vasovagal syncope is usually harmless and requires no treatment.

Vasovagal Syncope Vasovagal Syncope. Vasovagal syncope is a common cause of fainting. The vagus nerve is overstimulated and causes the body's blood vessels to dilate and the heart to slow down. This anti-adrenaline effect decreases the ability of the heart to pump blood upward to the brain against gravity. Without blood flow, the brain turns off.

Living With Food Allergies FPIES is a non-IgE mediated immune reaction in the gastrointestinal system to one or more specific foods, commonly characterized by profuse vomiting and diarrhea. FPIES is presumed to be cell mediated. Poor growth may occur with continual ingestion. Upon removing the problem food(s), all FPIES symptoms subside.

Synthesis Reactions and Examples Share. A synthesis reaction or direct combination reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. The reactants may be elements or compounds. The product is always a compound. The general form of a synthesis reaction is:

- A gas evolution reaction is a chemical process that produces a gas, such as oxygen or carbon dioxide. In the following examples, an acid reacts with a carbonate, producing salt, carbon dioxide, and water, respectively. Nitric acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium nitrate, carbon dioxide, and water:

Grignard reaction The Grignard reaction (pronounced /ɡriɲar/) is an organometallic chemical reaction in which alkyl-or aryl-magnesium halides (Grignard reagents) attack electrophilic carbon atoms that are present within polar bonds (for example, in a carbonyl group as in the example shown below).Grignard reagents act as nucleophiles.tmospheric humidity can alter the yield of making a Grignard reagent from magnesium turnings and an alkyl halide. One of many methods used to exclude water from the reaction atmosphere is to flame-dry the reaction vessel to evaporate all moisture, which is then sealed to prevent moisture from returning.

- The cortical reaction refers to a massive exocytosis of cortical granules seen shortly after sperm-oocyte fusion. Cortical granules contain a mixture of enzymes, including several proteases, which diffuse into the zona pellucida following exocytosis from the egg.he cortical reaction refers to a massive exocytosis of cortical granules seen shortly after sperm-oocyte fusion.

Ganglionic Mechanisms Contribute to Diminished Vagal Control in Heart Failure Discussion. Previous work in humans and animals has indicated that vagal control of the heart is diminished in HF. Eckberg et al 7 published one of the earliest reports showing that parasympathetic control was reduced in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

vasovagal vasovagal attack, vasovagal syncope. a transient vascular and neurogenic reaction in humans marked by pallor, nausea, sweating, bradycardia, and rapid fall in arterial blood pressure which, when below a critical level, results in loss of consciousness and characteristic electroencephalographic changes.

General Chemistry/Types of chemical reactions The general form of a synthesis reaction is A + B → AB. Synthesis reactions put things together. Because of the very high reactivities of sodium metal and chlorine gas, this reaction releases a tremendous amount of heat and light energy. Recall that atoms release energy as they become stable, and consider the octet rule when determining why this reaction is so favorable.

- Now, it's always possible that there is some unknown chemical reaction that PG or VG may have with human lungs... but in 5 years of people vaping no one has seen any evidence of it. In fact the opposite... everyone reports their lung function increasing substantially.

D G and Direction of Reactions This is an endothermic reaction with a decrease in entropy. Thus DSuniv < 0 and DG > 0. The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that such a reaction is reactant-favored, so a DG greater than zero also means a reaction is reactant-favored. Example: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)

Galvanic skin response A sample GSR signal of 60 seconds. Galvanic skin response (GSR), also known as electrodermal response (EDR), psychogalvanic reflex (PGR), or skin conductance response (SCR), is a method of measuring the electrical resistance of the skin.There has been a long history of electrodermal activity research, most of it dealing with spontaneous fluctuations.he SCR(skin conductance response) is highly sensitive to emotions in some people. Fear, anger, startle response, orienting response and sexual feelings are all among the reactions which may produce similar skin conductance responses.

- Table 1: Main points in the history in the dental patient with possible neurological disorders. Syncope may be vaso-vagal in origin (the simple faint) or may occur in response to certain situations such as coughing. A vaso-vagal attack may be precipitated by the fear of dental treatment, heat or a lack of food.

D G and Direction of Reactions This is an exothermic reaction with an increase in entropy. Thus DSuniv > 0 and DG < 0. The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that such a reaction is product-favored, so a DG less than zero also means a product-favored reaction. Example: 2CH4(g) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

How Viruses Mutate: Antigenic Drift and Antigenic Shift This is a sudden and major change in the surface antigens of a virus. Antigenic shift occurs using a process called genetic reassortment. This is a process whereby two viruses mix and match parts of their genome. In either case, changes to proteins on the surface of the influenza virus called hemagglutinin, or HA, and neuraminidase, or NA for short, will occur. These changes will cause us to fall ill with a new strain of the flu virus. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.com Member. Create your account.

What is morbilliform drug reaction? Morbilliform drug eruption is a form of allergic reaction. It is mediated by cytotoxic T-cells and classified as a Type IV immune reaction. The target of attack may be drug, a metabolite of the drug, or a protein bonded to the drug. Inflammation follows the release of cytokines and other effector immune cells.

- A galvanic cell consists of two half-cells, such that the electrode of one half-cell is composed of metal A, and the electrode of the other half-cell is composed of metal B; the redox reactions for the two separate half-cells are thus: A n+ + ne − ⇌ A B m+ + me − ⇌ B. In general, then, these two metals can react with each other: m A + n B m+ ⇌ n B + m A n+

Reflex syncope Vasovagal syncope occurs in response to a trigger, with a corresponding malfunction in the parts of the nervous system that regulate heart rate and blood pressure.reatment for vasovagal syncope focuses on avoidance of triggers, restoring blood flow to the brain during an impending episode, and measures that interrupt or prevent the pathophysiologic mechanism described above. 1  The cornerstone of treatment is avoidance of triggers known to cause syncope in that person.
