I. INTRODUCTION: Clopidogrel is one of the major drugs used in the treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Along with Aspirin it is the standard of care in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with stenting, when a long term dual antiplatelet treatment is needed. However the response to clopidogrel shows wide inter-individual variations. Various studies have shown that the polymorphisms in the genes responsible for Clopidogrel absorption and metabolism are a major factor for these variations.…

emotional stress, exposure to heat or cold and infection. Pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzaevaccines are less effective in splenectomized individuals. So, subjects with sickle cell disorder must be vaccinated early in life. The management of an acute painful crisis includes- • vigorous hydration, • assessment for underlying causes • effective analgesia administered either by a standing order and/or patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. 1) Morphine (0.1–0.15 mg/kg every 3–4 h)…

symptoms that a person can present with during the initial infection of HIV, however the symptoms are so miscellaneous that patients often mistake symptoms for other viral infections or bodily stress. It is important that providers keep in mind that acute HIV infection can often present much like a mononucleosis…

High altitude balloonists were amongst the first to clearly describe the effects of acute hypoxia. These effects were attributed to the low barometric pressure and low partial pressure of oxygen (hypobaric hypoxia).\cite{JohnBWest:2009wj} Barcroft classified hypoxia into 3 sub-categories: anoxic type (hypobaric hypoxia), anaemic type (inability…

chronic illness, such as diabetes, wounds heal slower and have the possibility to progress from acute inflammation to chronic inflammation. Mr. Jones’ diabetes causes increased serum glucose levels, vascular changes that lead to microcirculation and glycosylated hemoglobin, causing tissue ischemia (peripheral vascular disease (PVD), neuropathy) related to decreased oxygen release to tissue. During an acute inflammation, insulin needs are increased and Mr. Jones’ wound becomes more compromised.…
