Electron current

current /cur·rent/ (kur´ent)

1. anything that flows.

2. electric c.

action current the current generated in the cell membrane of a nerve or muscle by the action potential.

alternating current a current which periodically flows in opposite directions.

convection current a current caused by movement by convection of warmer fluid into an area of cooler fluid.

direct current a current flowing in one direction only.

electric current the stream of electricity that moves along a conductor. Symbol I .

galvanic current a steady direct current, especially one produced chemically.

current of injury a flow of current to (systolic c. of injury) or from (diastolic c. of injury) the injured region of an ischemic heart, due to regional alteration in transmembrane potential.

pacemaker current the small net positive current flowing into certain cardiac cells, such as those of the sinoatrial node, causing them to depolarize.

electric current,

the net movement of electrons along a conducting medium.

Patient discussion about electric current.

Q. I'M 56 YEARS OLD FEMALE, PRETTY GOOD HEALTH. BUT LATELY I BEEN HAVING LIKE ELECTRIC SHOCK ON MY BODY.

A. How about medication withdrawl? Sometimes patients withdrawing from depression/anxiety medications will feel what is commonly descibed as "brief electic shock" or "shock-fright" If you are on any meds you may want to read the labels or consult a professional about blood levels

Q. do you know what are the pros and cons of the Sonic toothbrush from Oral B (electric tooth brush)? last night, my best friend raved about it for a whole hour. My dentist told me to use a soft brush (number 35) to clean my teeth and that the electric brushes are a bit over rated. My friend specifically told me about the Sonic product and told me that it also makes his teeth whiter. I wanted to know if anybody has any knowledge or experience from first hand about this product or any good information about it.

A. Thank you for the frank answer. I wonder if I can find a really soft electric toothbrush

Q. Is electric shock efficient for ocd? Is it dangerous? My husband has OCD for 15 years now. He was also diagnosed with mania-depressia. He takes so many medications and nothing really helps. We were offered to try electric shock and I'm scared. Is it dangerous? What are the chances of this method to work for him?

A. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is indeed considered effective for OCD, although it's not the first line of treatment. It does have its risks, including memory loss, disorientation and sort of confusion. There is also a change in the activity of the heart but it's rarely significant.

Generally it can be said that it's not an absolutely safe treatment, but it may help, especially if other drugs don't help.
