The fifth element to consider is whether a patient has pain, because this symptom is very common in many diseases and sometimes not asked or not the patient feels a particular region of the body to find out. Often only limited consideration to making basic vital signs were taught in the medical schools: blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate, and temperature.

In this era of great variety of analgesics (NSAIDs, opioids, anesthetics, antidepressants, anticonvulsants with effect on pain modulation, steroids, etc..) In the pharmaceutical market and competition between laboratories, the need for dose of LOVE, because recent studies show some improvement of physical pain in certain states of distraction as in sports or being in love, that is why transcribe something related to this issue, especially because the pathophysiology of pain involves many of the common brain neurotransmitters in emotional states and some medications or analgesics interact as modulators of pain to these neurotransmitters in the brain and common brain regions, sharing the same receptors.
Scientists at Rutgers University (USA) have discovered that love is a cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters: epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and vasopressin, which put up three specific regions of the brain: the ventral tegmental area, the nucleus accumbens and caudate nucleus.
According to these experts, the first phase of love (Desire) is guided by the segregation of both male sex hormones (testosterone) and female (estrogen). These substances into the body sensations that feel like the opiate. Adrenaline, in turn, is responsible for the heart to accelerate, dry mouth and sweaty hands to endeavor on your own.
Only in a second stage (attraction), it brings into play the dopamine, the substance secreted by our body in pleasant situations, such as sex, eating chocolate or a shot of cocaine. In making their emotional bond with the beloved, dopamine has two key allies: serotonin and oxytocin.
Love is a miracle drug. And a powerful drug. Literally. Researchers at the School of Medicine, Stanford University say that the feelings they stir the passion of love can be incredibly effective in relieving pain reliever with a power similar to the pain or even drug like cocaine.
"When people are under passion, there are significant changes in mood influence their pain experience," says Sea Mackey, author of the study, published online in PLoS ONE. "We are beginning to identify some of these systems in the brain reward and recognize how they influence in pain, "he says. A system that is involved in dopamine, a neurotransmitter that influences mood, reward and motivation. Recent insights have demonstrated a central role for l
"Recent insights have demonstrated a central role in dopaminergic neurotransmission in modulating pain perception and natural analgesia [pain relief] in supraspinal regions within [the brain] including the basal ganglia, insula, anterior cingulate cortex in emporal, thalamus and periaqueductal gray.

Prince Award of Asturias in 2010 was given to three scientists (two men and one woman), two Americans and one Israeli, graduated from biochemical, genetic and psychological well as one biologist and physiologist-other. They have worked and researched in the understanding of pain and other sensations such as cold or heat. His works investigate the receptors, channels and molecular mechanisms that regulate this feeling. But above all, open a door encouraging the development of a new generation of more effective drugs for pain when it becomes a chronic problem, one of the challenges of medicine. One
Linda Watkin discovered a new agent pain, nerve cells called glial cells nonneuronal key in pathological pain states and those that occur after nerve injury. His research has been instrumental in studying the causes of some current pain treatments, acting mainly on neurons, fail to successfully alleviate the pain.
Also, his work has determined how all kinds of opioid analgesics by activated glial cells to release substances neurostimulants, which suppress the calming effects of these drugs and develop them tolerance, dependence and even respiratory depression . Linda Watkins has found that these effects do not occur through classical opioid receptors but through a different receptor, called TLR4, which is key in glial activation, which is a new drug target
If we have pain, we try to love, to see if something calm us and reduce the dose of analgesic. Pharmaceutical industry still has not invented a "pill" that contains the substrate love to ease the physical pain or the pain of soul. Soo true love and loving God allow so many things.
