Which factor in coagulation is fibrinogen?
1
Which factors are involved in the intrinsic system of coagulation?
12, 11, 9, 8
Which factors are involved in the extrinsic system of coagulation?
TF and 7
Which factors are part of the common system in coagulation?
10, 5, 2, & 1
Which factor cross links fibrin stands at the end of coagulation cascade?
13
In the final step of coagulation, what converts fibrinogen to fibrin?
Activated thrombin
How does fibrinolysis occur?
Plasminogen is activated to plasmin, which cleaves both fibrinogen and fibrin to produce fibrin degradation products (FDP)
What type of hemorrhage is seen with abnormalities in primary hemostasis?
Petechiae
What are some other common clinical signs seen with primary hemostasis abnormalities?
Ecchymoses, epistaxis, melena, gingival bleeding, hematuria, and hematemesis
What is the most common primary hemostasis abnormality?
Thrombocytopenia
What must be platelet count be for spontaneous bleeding to occur?
Less than 20,000/uL
What is the most common congenital hemostatic defect in humans and animals?
Von willebrands disease
What is von willebrands disease?
Lack of vwf (adhesive protein) that results in abnormal platelet adhesion
What are thrombopathias?
True platelet function defect (platelet #s normals but do not function normally)
What are clinical signs seen with abnormalities of secondary hemostasis?
Subcutaneous hematomas, bleeding into joints (hemarthrosis), or into body cavities and excessive bleeding following venipuncture or surgery
Where are coagulation factors produced?
Liver
Which part of coagulation cascade does PTT test?
Intrinsic and common
Which part of coagulation cascade does PT test?
Extrinsic and common
What things make chocolate toxic to dogs?
Methylxanthines, theobromine, and caffeine
What is the MOA of theobromine & caffeine in dogs?
Competitively inhibit cellular adenosine receptors, which lead to CNS stimulation, diuresis, and tachycardia
What is the MOA of methylxanthine in dogs?
Competes for benzodiazepine receptors w/in CNS, which inhibits phosphodiesterase & increases cAMP levels
What are some clinical signs of chocolate toxicosis?
Polydipsia, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distention, restlessness, hyperactivity, polyuria, ataxia, tremors, seizures
What is a concussion?
Temporary loss of consciousness following head trauma
What are the 3 phases of cutaneous wound healing?
Inflammation, tissue formation, and tissue remodeling
What is another name for granulation tissue?
Stroma
How soon after injury does granulation tissue start to form?
4 days after injury
What are some important growth factors for cutaneous wound healing?
Platelet derived growth factor and transforming growth factor beta1
Which cells provide growth factors to stimulate fibroplasia and angiogenesis?
Macrophages
Which cells are responsible for the synthesis, deposition, and remodeling of the extracellular matrix?
Fibroblasts
What is newly formed matrix called?
Provisional matrix
What is the provisional matrix composed of?
Fibrin, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid
What is the rate limiting step in the formation of granulation tissue?
Appearance of fibronectin and integrin receptors
What is provisional extracellular matrix gradually replaced with??
Collagenous matrix
How does angiogenesis get started in wound healing?
Endothelial cells transiently deposit fibronectin within the vessel wall
Which growth factor is critical during days 4-7 during granulation tissue formation?
Vascular endothelial growth factor
What is 1st intention healing?
Edges of non-septic wound are positioned in close proximity to each other by sutures or bandages; skin heals in 2-3 days
What is 2nd intention healing?
Occurs when the cut edges of a wound are not brought into apposition & fibrous connective tissue fills defect in superficial & deep dermis
Which has greater tensile strength: 1st intention healing or 2nd intention healing?
1st intention healing
What are the 4 phases of wound healing?
Hemostasis, acute inflammation, proliferation (granulation), and remodeling (maturation/contraction)
What are the components of extracellular matrix?
Collagens, proteoglycans, adhesive glycoproteins, elastin, fibrillin, hyaluronan, syndecan
What is the diff. b/w how superficial wounds heal vs. how deeper wounds heal?
Superficial wounds heal by epithelial regeneration. Deeper wounds (include dermis) heal thru formation of a collagen scar.
Gene expression by cells in a wound is regulated to a large degree by _____________
Oxygen tension
What do matrix metalloproteinases (MMP's) do?
Degrade collagen, proteoglycans, and elastin in injured tissues, which is then removed by phagocytosis by macrophages and neutrophils
What stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and proteoglycans?
TGF-beta
When does the remodeling phase begin?
2-3 weeks after injury
How strong is the wound after 6 months?
70% of the strength of uninjured skin
How long does epithelialization take in clean, sutured wound?
24-48 hours
How long do open wounds take to complete epithelialization?
7-10 days
What are some secondary lesions?
Epidermal collarette, scar, excoriation, erosion, ulcer, fissure, lichenification, hyperpigmentation, callus
What are some primary lesions?
Macule, patch, wheal, papule, nodule, tumor, vesicle, bulla, pustule, comedo, follicular cast, alopecia, scale, crust
What is the difference b/w a nodule & a papule?
Nodule is 1-2 cm and papule is less than 1 cm
What is the difference b/w a macule and a papule?
Macules are flat and papules are elevated
