Diffusive therapy (hemodialysis) removes small solutes mainly, whereas convective therapies (hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration) may also eliminate larger molecules such as myoglobin or cytokines.

Question 3

What is the difference between sclerosis and stenosis

Answer 3

Aortic sclerosis is thickening of the valve without any significant effect on the function of the valve itself. Aortic stenosis is thickening and tightening of the valve that leads to the heart having to work harder and the possibility of not enough blood being delivered to the bod

Question 7

What is the difference between neoplasia and hyperplasia

Answer 7

Neoplasia is new cell growth whereas hyperplasia is growth of cells that we already have.

Neoplasia is out of control whereas hyperplasia our body is able to control

Neoplasia is harmful whereas hyperplasia can be useful for protection/inflammatory response

Neoplasia compressed surrounding organs whereas hyperplasia does not

Hyperplasia always has a stimulus

Question 8

What is the difference between ischaemia and hypoperfusion?

Answer 8

Hypoperfusion is a term that describes “a reduced amount of blood flow”. When ischemia develops due to low blood flow, we may describe this as “hypoperfusion.

Ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

Question 9

What is the difference between angina and myocardial infarction

Answer 9
