STENT's
What are they?
A balloon within a wire grid is placed in you arteries the balloon is blown up and then they remove the balloon the grid is left holding the artery open and wide

STATINS
What are they?
They are a drug that helps lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, in the blood. They draw cholesterol out of plaque and stabilize plaque, Blaha says.

Pacemaker
What is it?
It is a small, battery-operated electronic device implanted in a person's chest that sends out regular, adjustable electrical impulses to produce normal contractions of the heart.
Heart
-
The heart is an organ about the size
of your fist that pumps blood
through your body. It is made
up of multiple layers of tissue.
Cardiovascular
General term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. It's usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries this can be treated with a STENT :arrow_up:

Cryosurgery
Used on external tumours, retina, cervix and early stage prostate cancer

Your body defence
White Blood cells
If bacteria gets into your body and you blood stream your secondary defence, your immune system kicks in
-
Engulf
White blood cells can engulf bacteria and then break them up
As part of the process, the white blood cell dies = puss
-
Antitoxins
Bacteria produce toxins – poisonous chemicals which damage cells
White blood cells can produce chemicals antitoxins to neutralise them
-
How We Test Drugs
EFFICACY
-
How?
The drugs are tested using computer models and skin cells grown using human stem cells in the laboratory.
-
TOXICITY
What?/Why?
This is a test that shows whether the drug is safe to use and what side-effects it can possibly cause.
How?
Taking healthy organisms from a container of clean water and placing into one containing the same water with the drug.
DOSAGE
What?/Why?
It is to determine how much is the safe amount to give someone and for how long before possible side effects.
How?
For Tablets you use the strength required divided by what you’ve got to decide how much you need to take.
Preclinical trials, Clinical trials & Double blind trials
In an unable to see or stopped from seeing experiment, information given which may effect the ones taking part of the experiment is kept back until after the experiment is complete .
In drug development preclinical development is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials (testing in humans) and during which important feasibility, iterative testing and drug safety data are collected.

Louis Pasteur
French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology.
He pioneered the study of molecular asymmetry; discovered that microorganisms cause fermentation and disease; originated the process of pasteurization; saved the beer, wine, and silk industries in France; and developed vaccines against anthrax and rabies.

Joseph Lister
Born: April 5, 1827 England
Died: February 10, 1912 (aged 84) England
British surgeon and medical scientist who was the founder of antiseptic medicine and a pioneer in preventive medicine.
While his method, based on the use of antiseptics, is no longer employed, his principle—that bacteria must never gain entry into an operation wound—remains the basis of surgery to this day.

Cardiovascular
disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term for conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. It's usually associated with a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries (atherosclerosis) and an increased risk of blood clots.
Type 2 DIABETES
What is it?
Type 2 diabetes is a common condition
that causes the level of sugar
(glucose) in the blood to become too high
Causes
Cardiovascular disease. Over time, unmanaged blood sugar can damage your arteries

What is a vaccine?
A preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
These preparations can include a weakened or dead virus or bacteria or a less serious virus or bacteria that helps the body make an immune system towards other viruses or bacteria
