Silent Engineer it sounds like you have some issues with anger. Have you tried talking to a professional about this? It just might help.

My question is what is ACh responsible for in the brain in relation to cognition? What I want to know is why would a person with dementia be on a drug that helps with the availability of ACh.......how does the ACh relate to dementia? How does it slow the progression of dementia symptoms?

Go Bonehead Go.....lol unfortunately I can't use that answer....I do agree (about the nasty man made chemicals-I prefer the natural ones myself), but until I become some type of authority in the medical community, no one is really gonna listen to me (I've tried) 
And.......
Dr.Seuss, you are right, I didn't word that properly. The self-examination doesn't prevent testicular cancer, but if detected early it is easier to treat and there is a better chance of eliminating it.

Loaded thanks a bunch, but that's the part I understand. This is what I don't get...
Donepezil (aricept) is classified as a reversible choliesterase inhibitor. It is used to slow the progression of dementia symptoms, and it works by elevating acetylcholine concentrations (in the cerebral cortex) by slowing degredation of acetylcholine released in the cholinergic neurons. I understand that too, but if acetylcholine (ACh) is important for stimulating muscle tissue, then why is it important for dementia patients? I don't think the answer is that ACh is a neurotransmitt er, I think the answer is what exactly ACh is responsible for transmitting. And if it is solely responsible for transmitting information relating to muscle tissue, what the hell does it have to do with dementia? Also if
"Some nerve gases operate by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine causing continual stimulation of the receptor cells, which leads to intense spasms of the muscles, including the heart."
and aricept does sort of the same thing, then why don't patients on this medication experience intense muscle spasms?
This is why I am confused
Also speaking of testicular exams, did you know that the best way to prevent testicular cancer is to do a self-examination of your boys once a month? If you need more info on how to do this, let me know and I can walk you through it. lol....serious ly

If anyone wanted to know what it means.
bilirubin
Bilirubin is the waste product that results from the breakdown of hemoglobin molecules from worn out red blood cells. Ordinarily, it is excreted from the body as the chief component of bile. Excessive levels of bilirubin stain the fatty tissues in the skin yellow; this condition is called jaundice. Very high levels of bilirubin in the bloodstream can cause permanent damage to certain areas of the brain of newborn infants -kernicterus This can cause a characteristic form of crippling known as athetoid cerebral palsy. To prevent this from happening, bilirubin levels are monitored in newborns, and excessive levels of bilirubin are treated by either phototherapy ("bilirubin lights") or exchange transfusion.
Thanks Bonehead, I figured if I went too in depth with my explanation, people would not understand, I'm glad you do, because I need some help with my homework...... .... can you explain what acetylcholine does in the brain? I have some what of an understanding about it, but I am confused as to why medications designed to slow the progression of dementia (alzheirmer's) symptoms are directed at acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex. My text books suck.

Ya what ever about your post Billy... I have to ask what in the fuck is that Ava? I almost didn't set it up because I am afraid of it.
lol It's a picture of bilirubin (a component of bile) where I got my name from. I posted about it in the fx forum- (FYI) an excess of bilirubin in the blood causes jaundice.

So I'm just checking my sig, but I don't want to get locked out for a stupid post, so I would like to know what characteristic s does a post need in order to be considered good? Is there some type of guidelines we could follow? And if this really is a stupid post, instead of hurting my pride and possibly making me cry, could you just PM me instead of posting for the public to see But if this post actually meets requirements, and you want to make fun of me for it anyway.... just remeber it will be Snake consoling me as I cry, and it would be YOU causing him to lose precious gaming minutes
K, now my sig.....
