Got assigned the topic of 'anything to do with pharmacology' for my next essay.. kinda broad, any suggestions to narrow it down? It only has to be 3 pages this time around! B)
 
Drug induced pulmonary toxicity (as in prescription drugs, like bleomycin, amiodarone, etc). LOL

Something involving oxygen? I know it might be "simple" but it's pretty important!

Perhaps touch on oxygen toxicity and reperfusion injury?

3 pages? That's about 600 to 800 words. That's not an essay, that's an introduction!
 
The function of cAMP and its associated kinases (Particularly Protein Kinase A) in biochemical process and its role in drugs such as glucagon and epineprhine.
 
How about CytoChrome P-450 and its affect on drug interactions and metabolism?
 
How about picking an illness -- asthma, for example -- and summarizing the meds used to treat it prehospitally?

No kidding mate, our essays are at least 2,000 to 3,000 words and in third year think 5,000.

i agree with this. you could run wild with this.

or do aspirin? but i think the above would be a better paper
 
Didn't read everyone's suggestions.

here's mine.


Pick an ACLS algorithm, then define the drugs and the mechanisms etc etc.



THEN write a little summary on what the literature says about how effective these medications are at producing ROSC.
 
Coumadin and effect on the coagulation cacade. Vitamin K, FFP, I.N.R. level, intrinsic, extrinsic pathways and use of Bebulin/Profilnine. Should take up a few pages...

Given the length that is being requested I think that is a great idea. While summarizing the meds, you could also look at how much evidence there is to support each of them.
