What is propagation of a thrombus ?
A
The thrombus enlarges through the accretion of additional platelets and fibrin increasing the odds of vascular occlusion.
21
Q
What is dissolution ?
A
Activation of fibrinolytic factors may lead to tis rapid shrinkage and complete disssolution. This is not likely in older thrombus because of the level of cross linking.
22

Follows platelet adhesion and activation and is stimulated by some of the same fators taht induce activation such as thromboxane.
63
What actually causes aggregation ?
Interactions between fibrinogen and GP2a/3b receptors on the platelets
64
Describe platelet activation
Platelet adhesion leads to an irreversible shape change and secretion of both granules.

What does thrombin do in concurrnet activation
Activate platelet surface receptors which concert with ADP and thromboxane to further increase aggregation, Platelet contraction follows which is irreversible
70
How do leukocytes adhere to activaed platelets?
P-Selectins and stick to the endothelium through selectin molecules
71
What do leukocytes do in active clotting?
They promote the inflammatory response. Thrombin promotes inflammation by stimulating neutrophil and monocyte adhesion.
72
What is the main way that platelets and endothelial cells work together to mantain a sort of clot homeostasis ?
Endothelial cells synthesize prostagandin PGI2 which is a potent vasodialator and inhibits platelet aggregation. Platelets synthesize the thromboxane TxA2 which is a vasoconstrictor and promotes platelet aggregation.
73
What causes endothelial cells to produce tissue factor ?
What else will TNF and IL-1 do ?
Il-1 and TNF and bacterial endotoxins
TNF and Il-1 will up regulate the endothelial cell surface adhesion molecules. They also recruit leukocytes to the site of inflammation.
74
How do activated platelets inhibit fibrinolysis ?
They secrete plasminogen activator inhibitors which limit fibrinolysis
75

What do protease activated receptors do ?
Once activated they are G-Proteins that are activated by thrombin and enhance the adhesion of leukocytes.
78
What happens if the activated platelets can not display Gp2b/3a on their surfaces ?

88
Describe the edema associated with a DVT versus the edema that will be associtated with congestive heart failure
Congestive heart failure will cause generalized edema due to increased hydrostatic pressure in the entire venous system. DVT's will impede local venous return and thus the edema will only be localized to the extremity.

95
What does a factor 5 mutation cause
Renders factor 5 resistant to protein C which means a counter regulatory mechanism is lost.
96

Will not affect coagulation but will cause vasoocclusion and potentially turbulent flow. More of a risk of infarction than anything
97
Lupus Anticoagulant
Autoimmune form of antiphospholipid syndrome.
98
Von Willibrand Disease
Vwf acts as a glue that binds Collagen in the ECM and GP2b/3a on the surface of the platelets. Vwf disease there is a deficiency in these factors that will cause excessive bleeding.

LUPUS, you want more ...? LUPUS LUPUS LUPUS. Memorize this shit now because the PANDA said so
100
What will hypercholesterolemia do to thrombosis ?
It will not alter the coagulation cascade but will injure the endotheluim and cause stenosis.
**Artherosclerotic plaque can embolus from vegetations
101
Is Heprin an active or passive clot inhibitor and how does it work ?
Heparin is passive. It works by binding to antithrombin 3 and the complex inhibits thrombin from forming fibrin polymerization.
102
How does Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator work ?
It is synthesized by the endothelial cells. It is a protease that cleaves plasminogen to plasmin which will cleave fibrin and degrade clots.
103
What does aspirin do ?
This will inactivate platelets and prevent secretion of thromboxane A2 from platelets which will prevent activation and vasoconstriction. This will shift the balance of prostacyclin - thromboxane and let prostacyclin do its thing ( vasodilatation )
104

10a and 9a
105
If you have a patient 30min post acute MI who is at risk for vasogenic shock what will you give and why ?

111
What medical procedures can place a patient at risk for an air embolus
Spine procedure in the sitting position. Bypass surgery
112
What kind of pulmonary emboli will lead to infarction
Left Heart failure. If there is simply a pulmonary embolus you will get dyspnia and chest pain due to an increase in CO2. But with left heart failure you will not pump oxygenated blood so the bronchiole will infarct.

116
How will a hyperestrogenic state, from pregnancy or oral contraceptives increase the likelihood of thrombosis
Estrogen will cause the synthesis of clotting factors to increase as well as decrease the synthesis of Antithrombin 3. This combined with smoking is a big problem .
117
What will a factor 5 mutation cause ?
Loss of control of coagulation due to factor 5 not being inhibited by Protein C. This is prevalent in adolescents with recurrent thromboembolism and venous thrombosis.
118
What type of edema is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure?
Protein poor transaudate
119
What type of fluid will comprise the edema in increased permeability?
Protein rich exaudate

121
What does Gp2a/3b bind to ?
Fibrinogen
122
What happens if Gp2a/3b is nonfunctional
You will have an inability for platelets to aggregate and will result in bleeding. It is called Glandmands thromboblastoemia.
