This paper is scribed to present the compare and contrast between chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thromboses. It will also present pathophysiology and treatment of the two mentioned diseases. The symptoms to the diseases may be identical although the anatomy is truly different.There is no exact amount of the people that are affected by chronic venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis although the estimated range is from 300,000 to over 600,000 each year in the United States.…

The GERD-HRQL is a nine-item, Likert-type questionnaire that measures the severity of heartburn, heartburn lying down, heartburn standing up, heartburn after meals, change of diet, nocturnal heartburn, dysphagia, odynophagia, and effects of medications (Table I). The GERD- HRQL score is derived from simply adding the scores from each of the nine items. The best possible score is zero (i.e, asymptomatic in each item) and the worst possible score is 45 (incapacitated in each item).1 3.0…

from the liver and flow in the bloodstream throughout the body in an inactive state. When the injury occurs, The factors become activated by vitamine K, as the clotting happens vitamin K becomes inactive recyles awaiting future use. The anticoagulant agent in the rodencide totally stops the vitamin from recycling, which depletes it. This same principle is needed for peolpe to prevent deadly blood clots.…

Warfarin administration, which is a vitamin K antagonist, has been the primary precept for AF ablation anticoagulation as it is associated with lower risk of bleeding and stroke, while a new oral anticoagulant called Dabigatran, which is a non-vitamin K antagonist, has showed safety and efficacy outcomes similar or superior to those of warfarin regarding periprocedual stroke prevention (2). Furthermore, an evidence favor dabigatran over warfarin as it…

Coronary Heart Disease Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart diseases. According to the CDC, coronary heart disease kills more than 370,000 people every year.1 Coronary heart disease results from the damage of the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with nutrients and oxygen. Coronary heart disease causes plaque formation in the coronary arteries narrowing the arteries and decreasing blood flow to the heart. Eventually, heart attack results from the complete…

There is no specific treatment for primary restrictive cardiomyopathy; the main goal is to treat the heart failure symptoms caused by restrictive cardiomyopathy. With secondary types of restrictive cardiomyopathy like amyloidosis and sarcoidosis however, the underlying diseases can be treated. The backbone treatments for restrictive cardiomyopathy include diuretics, vasodilators, ACE inhibitors and anticoagulation therapies. Beta blockers help to improve ventricular relaxation and diastolic…

(40) Argatroban is highly protein bound so it is not cleared significantly during hemodialysis. The American College of Chest Physicians guidelines for treatment and prevention of HIT 2012 suggested the use of Argatroban over other non-heparin anticoagulants in HD patients with HITTs.(38) In a research that compared 3 doses of Argatroban in HD patients, the preferred regimen was a 250-µg/kg bolus followed by an infusion of 2 µg/kg/minute at the start of dialysis, with the option of stopping the…

What is the clinical significance of these interactions? Warfarin- Cimetidine interaction: Anticoagulant drugs interact with many drugs including over the counter medications such as cimetidine. When warfarin and cimetidine is taken together, the effect of warfarin will be increased. As a result frequent nose bleeds and bruises can occur. Reducing…

millimeters wide and eight millimeters deep. Their upper incisors remain permanently sharp because they do not have an outer enamel layer. The saliva from the bite that is left in the bite wound contains many compounds that promote bleeding, such as anticoagulants that stop the clotting of blood, and compounds that do not allow the blood vessels near the wound to constrict.This sounds harmful to their prey, however it does not harm the animal being fed on. In fact, a vampire bat is so small and…
