*Searching a lil bit*  Iloprost (Ilomedin®, Schering AG, Berlin, Germany)\nIloprost Pronunciation (EYE loe prost)\nU.S. Brand Names Ventavis\nSynonyms Iloprost Tromethamine; Prostacyclin PGI2\nTherapeutic Category-Prostaglandin\nUse Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with NYHA Class III or IV symptoms.\nMechanism of Action-Acutely, iloprost dilates systemic and pulmonary arterial vascular beds. In longer-term use, alters pulmonary vascular resistance and suppresses vascular smooth muscle proliferation. In addition, it is a potent endogenous inhibitor of platelet aggregation.\nPharmacodynamics/Kinetics\nDuration: 30-90 minutes\nMetabolism: Hepatic via beta oxidation of the carboxyl side chain; main metabolite, tetranor-iloprost (inactive in animal studies)\nHalf-life elimination: 20-30 minutes\n\nCAUTIONS : The most common adverse effects of inhaled iloprost are flushing (vasodilatation), increased cough, headache, and trismus (lockjaw). Serious events include pulmonary edema, which is a sign of pulmonary venous hypertension. Iloprost should not be initiated in patients with systolic blood pressure less than 85 mmHg because of the risk of syncope. Other adverse effects include insomnia, nausea, and vomiting.\n\nIloprost is a more stable synthetic analogue of prostacyclin (epoprostenol). It is a comparable pulmonary vasodilator to prostacyclin and therefore has potential for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. But I'm seeing in studies on everything from HIV to Diabetes...\n\nInfusion noun (medicine) the passive introduction of a substance (a fluid or drug or electrolyte) into a vein or between tissues (as by gravitational force)\n\nNote: Iloprost can also be infused as an inhaled vapor...

You mean "aloxi".  It is an anti-emetic.  It fights nausea.  You get it immediately before a chemotherapy infusion.

You need to see a doctor to determine whether you have a blood clot in the leg. They can either see it, I don't know how they do that, or send you for a Doppler Echo Test. Went through the same thing and had the Echo Test. Nothing to it, the Echo bounces of your artery and they can tell right away. Don't you fool around with the ifs because this can be serious. If the blood clot goes to your heart you'll be done for. Don't want to scare you but this is serious business, so please go ASAP

Could be a few things...kinda depends on the context. Most likely is a treatment for an enlarged prostate if that makes any sense.\n\n "the Indigo LaserOptic Treatment System is an important advance in the treatment of enlarged prostates" \n\nIt could refer to an ingredient in a drug to enhance sperm motility called "indigo carmine". There are several urology clinics that actually have Indigo in the name. Some also deal with kidney stones. \n\nJust ask your hubby=)

Epi-pen is a little device you carry around that injects epinephrin (basically adrenaline). You use this to stop an anaphilactic (bad allergic) reaction.

I've never taken it, but I know it is a component used in prescription drugs for relieving pain. It is commonly referred to as Anaprox or Naproxan, and although it is supposed to be an effective method of pain relief, the person taking it runs the risk of internal bleeding in their stomach (this is a rare side affect that only occurs when it is taken in excess, or without food).

Angioplasty is the ballooning of the affected blood vessel.  An Angiogram is the procedure.  A catheter is used to go into a large blood vessel and navigated to specific areas that the certified doctor wants to examine.  Contrast dye is injected to be able to view the vessels being examined. Many times after the Angioplasty is done a stent is placed to keep the plaque from reoccluding the vessel.  The stents or either medicated or non-medicated.  Patients usually tolerate this procedure with minimal problems, although there are risks.

I know almost nothing about plasma (bio) and even less about ICF.  But I know a lot about osmotic pressrue.\n\nSo I will dare to say that the highest osmotic pressure will be where the concentration of protein is higher.

Nitroglycerin is a cardiac vasodilator and it saves lives by dilating the coronary arteries surrounding your heart.  Unfortunately it dilates the arteries in your head as well so it gives you a wicked headache to boot.

When push squeeze the bulb (this is the force), you exert pressure EVERYWHERE in the dropper, (upwards, downwards, etc), so the liquid in the medicine dropper it forced to come out since in the increase in pressure is applied everywhere,\n\nThis is known as pascal's principle

In patients who are hypovolemic (i.e., volume depleted as a result of hemorrhage, extreme diarrhea, etc.), crystalloids are infused (an I.V. is started) to replace the lost fluids and, in patients who are critically ill, this can be lifesaving, especially in cases where you are waiting for blood to be prepared for transfusion.

Avonex is an interferon.  Copaxone is glatiramer acetate.  Copaxone acts as a decoy for T cells to attack, instead of myelin.  I don't know that much about how Avonex works.  All I know is that it has far too many harmful side effects for me.  There are hardly any with Copaxone.

do you mean angioplasty? \n\nAngioplasty\n\n\nAngioplasty is a procedure done to open a partially blocked blood vessel so that blood can flow through it more easily. It is most often done on arteries that deliver blood to the heart (coronary arteries) when they are narrowed by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) or blood clots.\n\nDuring the angioplasty procedure, a thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through an artery in the groin or arm and carefully guided into the artery that is narrowed. Once the tube reaches the narrowed artery, a small balloon at the end of the tube is inflated. The balloon may remain inflated from 20 seconds to 3 minutes. The pressure from the inflated balloon presses fat and calcium deposits (plaque) against the wall of the artery to improve blood flow.\n\nOnce the fat and calcium buildup is compressed, a small, expandable wire-mesh tube called a stent is sometimes inserted into the artery to hold it open. Reclosure (restenosis) of the artery is less likely to occur after angioplasty with stenting than after angioplasty \n\nbasically they insert a tub up and artery and make the artery open up and sometimes a stent is needed to keep it opened depending on how block the artery is. \n\nMy husband is a heart patient.  I saw them performing this procedure on him while they where doing it.  you can actually see the heart pumping and the flowing of the blood better after it is done.
