Influx of calcium ions into neurons is another way of saying hypocalcemia (which is low calcium in the blood), so they are the same (causing seizures). Influx of Ca ions into neurons deplete the Ca ions in the blood. I'm not sure of the exact mechanism, but it could have something to do with either the Na/Ca (Sodium/Calcium) exchange pumps at the neuronal membrane, pumping Ca into cells (therefore causing hypocalcemia), in exchange for pumping Na out of the neurons.

I just need one more immunization shot then I'm done. Yeah, I gotta sew mines on too, once I receive my scrub top and lab coat. I only bought one set. As for lab, I'm not sure, but I would assume that we would wear our scrubs to lab cause we're gonna be practicing on dummies :) I'll see you at orientation.

Congrats on you getting in too! Geez! 87, you're right it's gonna get more fierce. I heard for the spring 2011 class the cutoff was lower (84). Wasn't the Summer term supposed to be "easier" to get into?... Anyhow, are you running around getting your packet done for orientation? How's that going for you? I'm a newbie on here so I can't PM on here yet but if you want, you can PM or email me. I don't really know anyone in the class and it'd be nice to know a couple people in my class. See you at orientation!

90 points should be good. I applied with 92.3 points, got a call a week later saying I got in. Can't wait to start in May. I'll be one of the guys in the 48 entering. See you in class!
