From the Publisher MedMaster Medical Books Mastering Medical Knowledge Made Ridiculously Simple! Neurological Nirvana!!! WHAT THEY'RE SAYING!!! PA student here. Absolutely WONDERFUL textbook- which is nothing new for this series. Each topic is broken down with the perfect amount of detail without being too much. I was worried it wouldn't be specific enough, however I exclusively used this book to study for a unit exam in my pathophysiology course, and I did better than using any other resource (including assigned textbooks). Great mnemonics, tons of charts and pictures, and a great sense of humor all throughout this book. It is SO easy to read, to the point that I could (and have) read this for hours without feeling like I'm not absorbing a thing, which happens whenever I tried to read any other textbook. My pathophysiology instructor recommended it. I recommend it. Half of my cohort now owns this book. Seriously. Get it. - ANDORA Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple IN ACTION!!! Diabetes Treatment If the patient has type 1 (or advanced type 2) diabetes, one must replace the patient’s insulin. But consider a patient with early type 2 diabetes with some insulin resistance but who maintains some insulin secretion. In addition to diet and exercise, treatments in such patients function either to decrease blood sugar directly, decrease glucagon secretion, increase insulin secretion, or counter insulin resistance. Decreasing blood sugar can be accomplished in any one of the above several ways. Hyperosmolar Hyponatremia (A.K.A. pseudohyponatremia) An increase in glucose, lipids, proteins, or urea could raise serum osmolality, pulling water into the intravascular space to re-equilibrate things. This would lead to an increased water to sodium ratio and thus hyponatremia. Although the absolute amount of sodium is actually unchanged, the concentration of sodium is decreased by the water influx. In uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, the glucose concentration can raise the serum glucose levels to the point where lots of water is drawn into the intravascular space in an attempt to maintain fluid balance. This can result in hyponatremia and even hyperosmolar coma. Blood Clotting Cascade PT, PTT, heparin, and warfarin. There are two clotting pathways: intrinsic and extrinsic. The intrinsic pathway is initiated when there is damage on the inside of a blood vessel and the extrinsic pathway is initiated when there is tissue injury (extrinsic to the blood vessel, which exposes tissue factor to the circulation). Both feed into the common pathway: factors X, V, and II.
