The Demand Curve can also be known as what?

B) Producer Income Curve

C) Consumer Income Curve

D) Indifference Curve

Question 1

I want to ask something about cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Can you

please tell me how we can rapidly pinpoint the exact anatomical site of the

neurological deficit using physical findings in the emergency room?

Question 2

Why do you treat dissection of the carotid artery with an anticoagulant

in the acute management of stroke secondary to dissection? To me this

seems paradoxical as it would increase the severity of dissection.

Question 3

Last week, in a neurology viva, I was asked about the indications for

heparinization in patients with a stroke. I want to know when I can stop

heparin and what test I should use for assessing its therapeutic range.

Question 4

Has heparin a role in the management of acute ischaemic stroke not

accompanied by atrial fibrillation?

Question 5

1. In the treatment of a stroke, does low-molecular-weight heparin

(LMWH) have an advantage over heparin?

2. In an ischaemic stroke in evolution, for how long should heparin be

administered?

Question 6

Can streptokinase be used in acute cerebral infarction and, if so, what is

the dose?

Question 7

There seems now to be a consensus about starting aspirin therapy in

acute ischaemic strokes as early as possible. Why has this changed from

Question 8

I understand that a loading dose of clopidogrel 600-900 mg can be given

to ischaemic stroke in evolution and can stop the evolving deficit. Would

you agree?

Question 9

Is there any rationale for giving patients with recurrent strokes a

combination of aspirin and anticoagulant?

Question 10

1. Does a dipyridamol-aspirin combination have any superiority over

aspirin alone in the secondary prevention of a stroke?

2. Is an aspirin plus anticoagulant combination superior to a dipyridamol

aspirin combination in the treatment of recurrent ischaemic stroke not

controlled by aspirin alone?617021
