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.…

This paper seeks to establish a provisional diagnosis from presenting signs and symptoms and discuss the supporting pathophysiological implications of the prognosis, based on the following case study. Bill is a 62-year-old male who self-presented with a cardiovascular emergency at a small regional health centre. The information gathered in the primary and secondary surveys allows the formation of an evidence-based prehospital management plan including optimal pharmacological therapy and other…

fluid replacement, vasoactive medications, and nutritional support are all the interventions that should have taken place for Lewis. The labs that should’ve been drawn early on would include ABG’s, lactic acid, glucose, electrolytes, h/h, cultures, coagulations studies, cardiac enzymes and LFT’s. Diagnostic testing should’ve been ordered such as CT scan, echocardiogram, chest x-ray, etc. (Hinkle, J. L., & Cheever, K. H., 2014, p.…

Lung transplantation is a complex surgical procedure that a diseased lung is removed and replaced with a donor lung through anastomosis.
