Thrombosis

molecular weight heparin [LMWH] should be given post operatively in the dose of 1mg/kg body weight, for prevention of deep vein thrombosis [DVT] and acute pulmonary embolism. Also post operative eclamptic convulsions should be evaluated by CT, MRI and managed by neurologist, to diagnose Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and cortical venous thrombosis. Strict attention must be given to fliud and electrolyte balance. Patient should be ambulated early with deep…

primary hypertension. B. Hypercholesterolemia i. an excess of cholesterol in the bloodstream. C. Afebrile i. not feverish. D.

patient peripheral neuropathy and her walking difficulty since her primary physician already knows Betsey’s medical history and is more affordable for Betsey than going to a specialist. Moreover, the primary care physician can treat Betsey’s deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which caused pain, sores and swelling with her legs. If Betsey’s medical conditions get under control, her walking issue might get better. 2. Physical Therapist: The physical therapist can train Betsey for muscle…

42-43 The biomaterials are used as blood-contacting devices such as collagen .The platelets tend to adsorb onto the surface of biomaterials and become activated and then the activated platelets could further initiate thrombosis until leads to clotting.44 The mechanism of thrombosis and complement activation is good for hemostatic biomaterials because they could largely prevent blood loss. However, the generated of blood clots could cause damage on blood-contacting devices. Therefore, the balance…

Why Should Men Use Compression Socks? We live in a world where people are always busy with their jobs and life. No one has really time for anything else. Literally, they work like machines. They spend lots of hours in their workspace sitting on the same chair, cabin and in the same position. They have a clogged life, and they do not get any real time to relax. The constant eruption of the various bodily processes causes different kind of problems and disorders. We often feel pain in the legs…

No plagiarism detected In conclusion, early ambulation is extremely beneficial to the postoperative cardiac patient in several ways. Patient’s experience a shorter length of stay, fewer postoperative complications (i.e pneumonia/ deep venous thrombosis), and a fewer readmission rate for a 6-month period. Patients experienced less back pain, vascular complications (like DVT), urinary discomfort, and they had an overall better well-being perception. By shortening the length of stay, we decrease…

revascularization surgery for relief of symptoms. Nonstenoic lesions are the more dominant type in the body and are more common than stenoic plaques. With much larger lipid cores and thinner fibrous capsules, these plaques are more likely to rupture and cause thrombosis. There is usually much more “compensatory enlargement” in these types also which can make determining the size of them…

Mechanical valves have come a long way since, but have deficincies such as being prone to infection and graft rejection [1]. Mechanical valves require a patient to take anticoagulation medication such as warfarin to prevent valve thrombosis but this can increase the risk of bleeding. Mechanical valves provide durability and can last for decades which is optimal for younger patients but are only efficient if a patient can handle anticoagulation therapy [4]. Another shortcoming of Mechanical…

using injection of contrast medium to visualize vascular supply of the brain, including extracranial – Indication □ Suspected acute subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracranial aneurysm □ Arteriovenous malformations □ Cortical vein thrombosis □ Dural sinus thrombosis □ Vasculitis – Contraindications □ Coagulopathy – Interpretation of results □ Anatomic display of intracranial vasculature, allowing for planning of further therapy and surgical approach if necessary ○ Lumbar puncture 2 –…

The lecture summarized an idea about the Gliomas, Meningiomas, Metastatic tumors and miscellaneous tumors. A stroke is defined as a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), cerebrovascular insult (CVI) is when poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death. It disrupts the blood flow. Risk factor includes a heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes, smoking, obesity. Strokes can be visualized unto two types ischemic or hemorrhagic. Ischemic is caused due to lack of blood flow. Hemorrhagic is due…
