### Elements of calculus
#### A definite integral

Imagine an object ${\mathcal {O}}$ that is free to move in one dimension — say, along the $x$ axis. Like every physical object, it has a more or less fuzzy position (relative to whatever reference object we choose). For the purpose of describing its fuzzy position, quantum mechanics provides us with a probability density $\rho (x).$ This depends on actual measurement outcomes, and it allows us to calculate the probability of finding the particle in any given interval of the $x$ axis, provided that an appropriate measurement is made. (Remember our mantra: the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics serves to assign probabilities to possible measurement outcomes on the basis of actual outcomes.)
We call $\rho (x)$ a probability density because it represents a probability per unit length. The probability of finding ${\mathcal {O}}$ in the interval between $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ is given by the area $A$ between the graph of $\rho (x),$ the $x$ axis, and the vertical lines at $x_{1}$ and $x_{2},$ respectively. How do we calculate this area? The trick is to cover it with narrow rectangles of width $\Delta x.$
The area of the first rectangle from the left is $\rho (x_{1}+\Delta x)\,\Delta x,$ the area of the second is $\rho (x_{1}+2\,\Delta x)\,\Delta x,$ and the area of the last is $\rho (x_{1}+12\,\Delta x)\,\Delta x.$ For the sum of these areas we have the shorthand notation
    $\sum _{k=1}^{12}\rho (x+k\,\Delta x)\,\Delta x.$
It is not hard to visualize that if we increase the number $N$ of rectangles and at the same time decrease the width $\Delta x$ of each rectangle, then the sum of the areas of all rectangles fitting under the graph of $\rho (x)$ between $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ gives us a better and better approximation to the area $A$ and thus to the probability of finding ${\mathcal {O}}$ in the interval between $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}.$ As $\Delta x$ tends toward 0 and $N$ tends toward infinity ($\infty$), the above sum tends toward the integral
    $\int _{x_{1}}^{x_{2}}\rho (x)\,dx.$
We sometimes call this a definite integral to emphasize that it's just a number. (As you can guess, there are also indefinite integrals, which you will learn more about later.) The uppercase delta has turned into a $d$ indicating that $dx$ is an infinitely small (or infinitesimal) width, and the summation symbol (the uppercase sigma) has turned into an elongated S indicating that we are adding infinitely many infinitesimal areas.
Don't let the term "infinitesimal" scare you. An infinitesimal quantity means nothing by itself. It is the combination of the integration symbol $\textstyle \int$ with the infinitesimal quantity $dx$ that makes sense as a limit, in which $N$ grows above any number however large, $dx$ (and hence the area of each rectangle) shrinks below any (positive) number however small, while the sum of the areas tends toward a well-defined, finite number.

### Lorentz contraction, time dilatation

Imagine a meter stick at rest in ${\mathcal {F}}'.$ At the time $t'=0,$ its ends are situated at the points $O$ and $C.$ At the time $t=0,$ they are situated at the points $O$ and $A,$ which are less than a meter apart. Now imagine a stick (not a meter stick) at rest in ${\mathcal {F}},$ whose end points at the time $t'=0$ are O and C. In ${\mathcal {F}}'$ they are a meter apart, but in the stick's rest-frame they are at $O$ and $B$ and thus more than a meter apart. The bottom line: a moving object is contracted (shortened) in the direction in which it is moving.
Next imagine two clocks, one (${\mathcal {C}}$) at rest in ${\mathcal {F}}$ and located at $x=0,$ and one (${\mathcal {C}}'$) at rest in ${\mathcal {F}}'$ and located at $x'=0.$ At $D,$ ${\mathcal {C}}'$ indicates that one second has passed, while at $E$ (which in ${\mathcal {F}}$ is simultaneous with $D$), ${\mathcal {C}}$ indicates that more than a second has passed. On the other hand, at $F$ (which in ${\mathcal {F}}'$ is simultaneous with $D$), ${\mathcal {C}}$ indicates that less than a second has passed. The bottom line: a moving clock runs slower than a clock at rest.
Example: Muons ($\mu$ particles) are created near the top of the atmosphere, some ten kilometers up, when high-energy particles of cosmic origin hit the atmosphere. Since muons decay spontaneously after an average lifetime of 2.2 microseconds, they don't travel much farther than 600 meters. Yet many are found at sea level. How do they get that far?
The answer lies in the fact that most of them travel at close to the speed of light. While from its own point of view (that is, relative to the inertial system in which it is at rest), a muon only lives for about 2 microseconds, from our point of view (that is, relative to an inertial system in which it travels close to the speed of light), it lives much longer and has enough time to reach the Earth's surface.

# Definition

Parenteral drug administration is any non-oral means of having the drugs administrated into the body. Intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intravenous are the most used forms of drug administration.

# Advantages

Some advantages with parenteral drug administration are that it can be used for drugs that are poorly absorbed by the body or ineffective when given orally.

# Disadvantages

This method of drug administration tends to be expensive due to the amount of equipment required, as well as a more painful experience for the patient. Thus, competent practitioners are recommended. Other risks with parenteral administration are that any errors during the technique of administering the drug may lead to physical harm to the body or adverse drug absorption in the body.

## Introduction

Miltown, generically known as Meprobamate, is a sedative drug that is used to treat anxiety and short-term manage insomnia. It is a carbamate derivative that was one used as a minor tranquilizer.

## History

Meprobamate was first synthesized by Bernard John Ludwig, PhD, and Frank Milan Berger, MD, at Carter Products in May 1950. Launched in 1955, it rapidly became the first blockbuster psychotropic drug in American history, becoming popular in Hollywood and gaining notoriety for its seemingly miraculous effects.
In the mid-1940s, Dr. Berger was working in a laboratory of a British drug company, looking for a preservative for penicillin, when he noticed that a compound called mephenesin had a sedative effect in small laboratory animals. However, there were three major drawbacks to the use of mephenesin as a tranquilizer: a very short duration of action, greater effect on the spinal cord than on the brain, and a weak activity. After moving to Wallace Laboratories in New Jersey, Dr. Berger and a chemist, Dr. Bernard Ludwig, synthesized a chemically-related tranquilizing compound, meprobamate, that was able to overcome these three drawbacks and began marketing this new drug.

## Pharmacology

Although it is marked as being safer, Meprobamate share many of the pharmacological effects and dangers of barbiturates.
The mechanism that Meprobamate undergoes is unknown, although studies show that it affects multiple sites of the central nervous system, including the limbic and thalamus systems. Meprobamate binds to GABA$_A$ receptors, interrupting neural communication in the reticular formation and spinal chord, causing sedation and altered perception of pain.

## Toxicity

If overdosed, symptoms include coma, drowsiness, loss of muscle control, impaired breathing, sluggishness, and unresponsiveness. Death has been reported with the ingestion of as little as 12 grams and survival with as much as 40 grams.

## Chemistry

Meprobamate, 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propandiol dicarbamate is synthesized as shown below. 2-methylvaleraldehyde reacts with two molecules of formaldehyde and the subsequent transformation of the resulting 2-methyl-2-propylpropan-1,3-diol into the dicarbamate via successive reactions with phosgene and ammonia.

# Structural Biochemistry/Paclitaxel
## Overview

Paclitaxel (taxol) is an important anti-cancer pharmaceutical drug. In 1967, Monreoe E. Wall and Mansukh C. Wani extracted paclitaxel from the bark of a Pacific yew tree, Taxus brevifolia.
Paclitaxel is used to treat AIDs-related Kaposi sarcoma, breast, ovarian, and lung cancer in UK. This medicine binds to the tubulin and inhibits the disassembly of microtubules. This stabilizes the microtubules and prevents further cell division.

## Side Effects

Seek medical attention if you have these side effects:
* Hives
* Difficulty breathing
* Feeling like you might pass out
* Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
* Slow heart rate
* Seizure
* Pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weak
* Fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms
* Sores inside your mouth or on your lips
* Numbness
* Increased blood pressure
* Joint and muscle pain
* Mild nausea, and vomiting
* Hair loss

## Structure

The structure of (1S,2S,3R,4S,7R,9S,10S,12R,15S)-4,12-Diacetoxy-15-{[(2R,3S)-3- (benzoylamino)-2-hydroxy-3- phenylpropanoyl]oxy}-1,9- dihydroxy-10,14,17,17-tetramethyl -11-oxo-6-oxatetracyclo [11.3.1.0~3,10~.0~4,7~] heptadec-13-en-2-yl rel-benzoate:
Functional Groups: aromatic(3), amide(1), ketone(2), esters(4), alcohol(3), and ether(5) It has 11 stereocenters.

## Mechanism of Actions

Microtubules are cellular components that act as a skeleton for the cell. For cell division to occur, microtubules need to depolymerise back to tubulin. After that, tubulins repolymerise to form the spindle of cell division. The movement of the replicated chromosomes during mitosis depends on the spindle and therefore, the depolymerization of microtubules.
Paclitaxel or Taxol enhances the polymerization of tubulin to stable microtubules and also interacts directly with microtubules, stabilizing them against depolymerization. Hence, it interferes with the spindle formation process. Chromosomes are unable to move to the opposite sides of the dividing cells. Cells division is inhibited and eventually, cell death is induced.

# Structural Biochemistry/Parkinson's Disease
## What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system which affects one's movement. Parkinson's disease is a motor system disorder in which is is the result of the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells.
Parkinson's disease is typically known for a common symptom of a tremor. However, patients can show signs of stiffness or slowing of movement.

## Causes of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is caused by slow progression of deterioration of neurons in the substantia nigra. The substantia nigra is known for producing dopamine. Dopamine is known to be a messenger in which is allows the substantia nigra and the corpus striatum to communicate with one another to initiate smooth and balanced muscle movement.
Although experts know what causes Parkinson's disease, there is no known reason for the impairment of the neurons. However, experts have an idea of may play a role in causing the impairment. These factors are either genetics or environmental factors.

## Signs & Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's signs and symptoms can vary from person to person. A younger patient can show particular signs and symptoms of the disease at an earlier age, while a much older patient can show those same exact symptoms later on.
It is common for symptoms to begin on one side of the body and slowly start effecting the other side of the body.
Common symptoms include:
* Tremors in a hand, arm, or leg (typically the first symptom that most people notice)
* Stiff and aching muscles
* Slowed movement (bradykinesia)
* Weakness of face and throat muscles
* Difficulty in walking and balance

## Diagnosing Parkinson's Disease

Currently, there are no precise tests or exams to diagnose Parkinson's disease. However, a doctor may diagnose a patient based on their medical history, reviewing of signs and symptoms, and a neurological and physical examination. The physician may order certain tests to be done in order to rule out other possible diseases with similar signs and symptoms.

## Treatments

Currently, there are no cures for Parkinson's disease. However, medications can be prescribed to manage with certain symptoms. By providing certain medication, it can increase the brain's supply of dopamine.
Generally, a doctor may prescribe these medications:
* Levodopa and carbidopa
* Doapmine agonists
* COMT inhibitors
* MAO-B inhibitors
* Amantadine
* Anticholinergic agents
* Apomorphine

# Structural Biochemistry/Paxil
## Introduction

Paxil (also recognized by the names Sereupin, Seroxat, Aropax, and Paroxetine) is an antidepressant drug belonging to a class of molecules called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's). It can be used to treat depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric stress disorder. Paraxil is an orally administered psychotropic drug found in tablet form with the molecular formula of C19H20FNO3•HCl•1/2H2O and a molecular weight of 374.8.

## Instructions

Paxil should be administered for depression as a single daily morning dose for of 20 mg/day. Dose ranges may range from 10 mg to 50 mg and should be reviewed weekly. This drug is known to be effective up to a year of administration. Paxil tablets exist in different concentrations marked by color: 10 mg- yellow, 20 mg- pink, 30 mg- blue, 40 mg- green. They should be stored at or under 25°C. This drug has proven to have teratogenic effects on pregnant women, so prior consideration should be given before being taken. Studies have discovered detrimental lung and heart disorders in newborns whose mothers took Paxil. It is designated as a black box warning by the Food and Drug Administration as minors younger than age 18 are discouraged from using it. Paxil should not be taken in conjuction with Orap, Mellaril, Zyvox, Urolene Blue, MAOI, Furoxone, Marlplan, Nardil, Azilect, Eldepryl, or Parnat to avoid adverse drug interactions. In addition, the doctor must be notified of any liver or kidney disease, blood clotting disorders, a history of depression, and prior suicidal thoughts.
