1

Which monitoring test should be used to measure the action of unfractioned Heparin?

1

In prophylaxis of elective hip/knee replacement surgery, which would be the most appropriate choice of medication?

Structure of an artery from deep to superficial:
Tunica Intima = ❌
Tunica Media = ❌
Tunica Externa = ❌
Serosa = ❌

Endothelial Cells

Smooth Muscle

Loose Fibrous Connective Tissue

Epithelial Cells

Atherosclerosis is damage to the endothelium resulting in plaque formation due to recruitment of 'foamy' which are rich in

1

Which four of the following are risk factors for arterial thrombosis?

1

When there is endothelial damage, platelets bind to the subendothelial collagen via ( Glycoprotein 1b, Platelet Membrane Glycoprotein, ITGA2B, Human Platelet Antigen ) and ( Von Willebrand Factor, Platelet Adhesin, Platelet Derived Growth Factor, Protein Disulfide Isomerase )

1

After binding to the subendothelial collagen, platelets begin to attach to each other via ( Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, Glycoprotein Ib, Platelet Derived Growth Factor ) and fibrinogen

Antiplatelet drugs:
Clopidogrel = ❌
Aspirin = ❌

Cyclo-Oxygenase Inhibitor

ADP receptor Antagonist

1

Antiplatelets such as Abciximab inhibit ( Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, Glycoprotein Ib, ADP ) thus inhibiting the ( aggregation, adhesion, activation ) stage of platelet plug formation
