By Paul Thomas, Senior Editor
Up to 70% of corporate change initiatives fail, notes Bill Wilder, director of the Life Cycle Institute, the training arm of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE). Oftentimes, it is because pharmaceutical and other manufacturers focus on products and processes, but not on people. Contrary to popular opinion, people generally don't resist change, says Wilder. "They resist being changed when they don't know why."
In this interview, Wilder shares insights into how drug manufacturers can better manage change and strengthen their organizations from within. (For an audio podcast of the interview, listen here.)
P.T.: You're an expert in change management. Let me give you a general question right off the bat: Where do companies most often go wrong in terms of change management?
B.W.: It's really pretty simple, actually. They start too late and they have no structured process. But let me back up for a minute and just make sure that we're clear on what we're talking about when we talk about change management. In the drug industry, this whole idea of management of change, or change management, is often discussed in terms of changes related to the manufacturing process or to the product that's being created.
But what we're talking about is a structured process and tools for leading people through a change. So it's really about engaging people in the process of changing their behavior, not the changes associated with producing the product.
In that regard, the two things that we see most often is that [manufacturers] think about it too late, so it doesn't come to mind until they already have a problem, and two, they don't really have a structured process. They have these little ideas of things to do, but it's not a structured process.
P.T.: You mentioned the people component being such a critical issue, in addition to the technical component. Are the people issues often over-looked or underappreciated? You mentioned that sometimes manufacturers start too late, but do they just not address the people issues enough?
B.W.: Yes, it's very common. There's growing awareness of the fact that we can get the technology right, we can get the processes right, but if the people aren't embracing and adopting those, then the probability of achieving the business objectives are slim. In fact, Paul, over the last ten years, there have been a number of studies done on change initiatives, whether it be new systems or mergers or other types of changes, and consistently over this last ten years, 70% of those failed to meet the overall business objectives.
When you look at that 30% who achieved their business objectives, it's typically those that have sponsorship engagement, and have a structured process with dedicated resources to manage the change.
P.T.: You're saying that it's obviously behavioral changes that are needed, but you can have a very structured process to encourage behavior change?
B.W.: Yes. There are a number of different organizations out there that are studying this field. One in particular is a company called Prosci, who does a set of biannual research projects, and it's their data that suggests that the 30% have a structured process with sponsor engagement and dedicated resources.
And what does that give you? It gives you that ability to help people understand why the change is necessary. Oftentimes, people don't resist change; they resist being changed when they don't know why. And secondly, it gives you a way to identify and manage resistance.
Typically what happens is that organizations will go through a change and then they don't start dealing with resistance until it surfaces and it becomes a problem, rather than being proactive, anticipating it and implementing plans and mitigating that resistance.
P.T.: You mentioned dedicated resources. Do manufacturers sometimes fear the "expense" of change management projects? I put expense in quotation marks because I think you would suggest that these projects would end up, by far, saving money in the long run.
B.W.: I think the data would suggest that that is the case; that in those cases where organizations have invested in a structured process and dedicated resources, that they've actually found that they've been more successful . . . And there's a growing body of evidence to support that.
There is often a bias—I'm not sure bias is the right word—but a resistance to investing in what's perceived as being a soft area, an area you can't manage. It's hard to get your head around this specific, tangible result of making that investment. So it's easy to say, "Well, I bought this computer" or "I bought this software." But behavior is sometimes difficult to evaluate in terms of effectiveness.
P.T.: Let's talk more specifically about drug companies and the drug industry. Is it a given that change management is harder in highly regulated industries?
B.W.: No, I don't think so. I think it's pretty consistent across organizations, and even the private sector or public sector . . . change management is hard across the board. As you know, technology and processes don't talk back, they don't resist, they do what you tell them to do. People sometimes are not as easy . . . [laughs] . . . to work with.
Now, I would say that this [pharma] sector is a very dynamic environment, and so I think perhaps the pace of change is higher than you might find at many other organizations, which gives you less room for error, less opportunity to do things right the second time, because there isn't a second time. There's another change right on the heels of the one you just went through. So I do believe that drug companies tend to be in perhaps a more dynamic environment when it comes to change.
P.T.: Calling it a "dynamic environment," I think that's sort of a nice way of saying that there's really been a lot of upheaval in the industry in terms of restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and that start of thing. What special change management challenges, then, are drug manufacturers facing because of these types of changes?
B.W.: I think two things. One is that people become saturated with change or over-whelmed with change sometimes, and sometimes that can create a sense of helplessness . . . so sometimes it's hard to get people motivated for change because of how much they've gone through.
But really, probably the biggest thing is what I referenced earlier, which is this whole idea that there's very little time to learn from your mistakes, because it's just change after change after change. You go through this merger, this outsourcing, this restructuring. So it becomes much more important to get it right the first time.
P.T.: And of course, the time is a constraint, but also the resources are now a constraint because manufacturers are cutting staff, they're trying to do more with less. In fact, I think that has put a particular strain on middle managers, who are given mandates from executives that they're struggling to fulfill. Have you seen this in your work in terms of middle management having challenges with change management?
B.W.: Absolutely. A very good observation. I think we've all heard about the role of the middle manager and how critical they are in organizations—you know, they're trying to manage up and they're trying to manage down. And all those classic issues for the middle manager are true in this case as well.
There's no doubt that the role, the vital role, of the middle manager is underappreciated when you're going through a change; that it's very common to not adequately train or support middle management in their absolutely crucial role in successfully engaging into change. And the data consistently supports the fact that [the middle manager] is one of the most important people in a change process.
P.T.: And when you talk about training of middle management, what are you suggesting? Obviously your organization works with many middle managers. But what kinds of training can be done?
B.W.: I'll go back to this research that Prosci does—and as you might be able to tell, we've embraced Prosci. We've been doing change management for ten years, and last year engaged with them as an authorized training provider because of the fact that their model is research-based and it's a structured process.
And when we look at their research, it's clear that the person that has the most influence on an individual's desire and ability to change is their immediate manager, that middle manager. So how we do support that individual? Well, first of all, they need to clearly understand the business need for the change, and really be able to articulate it. But more importantly, [they must understand] how the change is anticipated to affect individuals.
Because when we go through change—regardless of whether it's in connection with new processes, new technology, restructurings, outsourcing, M&A type activity—it's the individual that changes, not the organization. And so the organization is just made up of a lot of different individuals going through change at their own pace. And guess who has the most influence on that individual's desire and ability to adapt in that change? It's their manager. That's the [person] they're looking to.
So what can we do to help them? One is to make sure they're clear on the change from an organizational point of view and how it affects the individual, and then two, helping them understand how individuals go through change . . . and equipping them to be able to coach individuals through a change.
So there's the understanding of what the change is, but then there's also . . . that process that every human being goes through when they undergo a change, and helping the manager understand what that process is and how to assess where each individual in their area of responsibility is in that change, and how to help them through to the next stage. It's a structured process that people go through, but they go through it at their own pace.
P.T.: And I know part of that process, obviously, is awareness, and I'm guessing that you would say that making middle managers, executives, and people on the shop floor aware that there's a change process that they're going through is an important step.
B.W.: Crucial, absolutely. However, just knowing that the change is taking place is clearly not enough, because now you've got to get me to want to make that change. Just because I know we're going through a merger doesn't necessarily mean I like it, or that I support it.
So when we think about change—again, going back to the Prosci model—it goes through awareness and desire—and desire is the area where the middle manager has the most influence and is the most critical. . . .
Then there is the ability to execute the change—this is the second most important role for the manager because this is where they coach the individual in their ability.
In change management, you may hear the phrase ADKAR, and basically that's the Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. And that's the way individuals go through change.
P.T.: In your mind, is there at least more of a recognition within the drug industry these days that change management is a necessary part of what they have to do in their daily work?
B.W.: Yes, Paul. I definitely believe that, and I think that we see more and more folks who are focused on that. In our experience, it starts within the IT organization, having to do with systems, but then evolves into other changes. And I think in most of the major drug companies, you will probably find someone in the organization who has this responsibility, who has "change" in their title. . . .
In fact, across the board, there's growing awareness of this discipline. Just this year, an association called the Association of Change Management Professionals was formed to begin to establish some very rigorous standards of performance and credentialing for folks in this discipline, much like you would have in project management for the Project Management Institute, or a variety of other disciplines.
And I think all of that shows that organizations are definitely waking up to the idea that [in managing change] you've got to have the people along with the tools and the processes.

Bitcoin has been in a raging bull market in the last few months and now as price has fallen by more than 15% recently, many are starting to ask the question as to whether this is a bump in the road or a new trend.
After tagging the $9,000 level but not being able to make any inroads, BTC has fallen to lows around the $7,500 level in the last 24 hours. In early Asian trade, markets have bounced a bit, but now the $8,000 support turned resistance will the beg test.
Most of the major coins have all experienced sharp losses over the past 24 hours, but even most bulls were expecting some sort of retracement.
There had been talk that many had expected a 25% retrace, which is a bit more than half of what has already happened. So perhaps in the range of $6,000-$6,500 would be a full-blown retrace.
While fundamentals behind the move have been limited, there had been an SEC action that spooked markets to some degree.
The SEC announced that it was suing social media startup Kik, for allegedly selling $100 million worth of securities during its initial coin offering (ICO), which took place in 2017.
Add to that the broad risk-off feel that we've had from markets lately and it is not a surprise that the bull run has petered out a touch.
For me, the $8,000 level still remains the key here. If price can stabilise above that point, then I still feel the bulls are going to be holding on. But the more of these key level begins to fall and even not recover, then it just weighs down price.
$7,000 would also be an obvious bounce area, but below that, the run is over for me. But I will wait and see how price can react for the remainder of the week before building a stronger thesis.

Anyone have experience with Aeroseal duct sealing?
I'm considering developing a magazine article on Aeroseal duct sealing. This is a process where registers and diffusers are sealed with plastic and a vinyl based sealant is blown into the ducts. The sealant collects around leaks until they are ultimately closed off. The big advantage is it can seal ducts that are inaccessible for conventional sealing methods.

Thanks Mark. They have many previously-run Ask This Old House shows on the their website. I'll look for it. It may even be on my DVR. There's at least a dozen I haven't seen on there.

Thanks Donald. I just watched the episode. What I learned after my initial inquiry is that most duct systems are undersized, especially return ducts. The leakage is only part of the problem typically. When you seal the ducts you can starve the furnace for air.

THE STANDARDS IN Public Office Commission (SIPO) is considering alleged Code of Conduct breaches against a Monaghan councillor following complaints over an election flyer that allegedly contained "racist, dangerous and xenophobic" material.
The remote SIPO hearing relates to material distributed by independent councillor Seamus Treanor ahead of the 2019 local elections.
SIPO is the public watchdog which, among other functions, sets out standards of conduct for public officials.
During today's proceedings barrister Brian Gageby, who is appearing as a legal advisor to the commission, said that Cllr Treanor "has a right to free speech" and that it was not for SIPO to determine "whether or not these views were right or wrong".
Instead, Gageby said the complaint alleges that the councillors' material contained details that were "factually incorrect and misleading" and that SIPO's "narrow purview" was to determine whether these errors were a breach of the SIPO's Code of Conduct.
Gageby said that SIPO will see that "the complaint in this case concerns canvassing material, and complaints were made in respect of that material that the material was racist, dangerous and xenophobic."
"Ultimately, it will be a matter for the Chairman and the Commission to determine its views in respect of the canvassing material," he added.
Gageby read details from the election material at the heart of the matter in which Treanor said that he has "no problem" with people coming to Ireland "to work or start a new business providing they can pay for their own housing…..and obey our laws and customs."
In the material, Treanor accused the "political elite in Ireland, FF, FG and SF" of having "encouraged uncontrolled migration".
Summarising the aspects that the six-member SIPO commission must consider, Gageby highlighted a number of claims made in Treanor's election material.
The case against Cllr Treanor is that there's a number of inaccuracies in the canvassing material. And those are as follows; that it was factually incorrect and misleading in claiming that 92% of asylum seekers are deemed to be bogus. Secondly, it was legally incorrect to claim that EU migrants could claim benefits after 72 hours in Ireland. And thirdly, that it was factually incorrect and misleading in relation to the claim the 22 economic migrants were housed on the instruction of the Department of Justice.
He added: "The Commission will have to consider whether or not these errors, if proved, result in breaches of the code which are set out in the alleged statement of contraventions."
Four complaints relating to the leaflet were made to Monaghan County Council.
The complaints were they sent to SIPO where an preliminary inquiry was conducted by Mark Shanahan of SIPO's complaints and investigations unit, beginning on 25 November 2019.
In August 2020, Shanahan delivered an opinion that there was a prima facie case to sustain the complaint that there was a contravention of Part 15 of the Local Government Act 2001.
SIPO's commission is being asked to determine whether the Code of Conduct was breached in a number of ways, among them whether Treanor did not "act in a way that the serves local authority and its people conscientiously" and whether he did not "seek to ensure that your conduct did not bring the integrity of your office or of local government into disrepute".
Cllr Treanor, who was re-elected to Monaghan County Council in 2019, was present during the proceedings but did not speak, instead being represented by counsel.
Speaking on the councillor's behalf, Barry Healy made a number of submissions arguing that it "was not procedurally correct" that the case was being heard as a result of four complaints by members of the public and not the ethics register.
Following a brief break to consider this question, the commission allowed the hearing to continue but asked Healy to make written submissions in this regard.
Healy also argued that an election leaflet could not breach codes of conduct for representatives because election leaflets are not part of a councillor's role or function.
"We submit that in no circumstances can canvassing be considered a function of a county councillor. Secondly, I think I'm right to say that my friend has confirmed that there has been no criminal complaint made against Mr. Treanor, so in those circumstances he's completely innocent, " Healy said.
The hearing also heard evidence from John Murray, Director of Services, Finance, Housing & Culture in Monaghan County Council, who faced questions from both Gageby and Healy.
Murray was asked about the claims in Cllr Treanor's leaflet with regards to the "22 economic migrants that were housed" by the council.
The council executive said it was correct to say that 11 houses were used to provide housing for Syrian refugees as part of the Department of Justice's Irish Refugee Protection Programme.
He said it would be correct to say that "11 slots on the housing list were pushed down" as a result of this move.
Speaking later about this, Gageby pointed out that Cllr. Treanor's literature had referenced 22 houses and an allocation to "economic migrants", whereas the houses in question were part of a refugee programme.
"There seems to be an aligning, I can put it like that, of economic migrants on the one hand and asylum seekers on the other and also the suggestion that 22 houses were taken off the housing list in favor of economic migrants or refugees, as the case may be, when in fact it seems that the number was 11," he said.
Gageby also pointed to other "alleged inaccuracies" in the leaflet, including the claim that "92% of asylum seekers are deemed to be bogus".
He referenced the 2018 Annual Report on Migration and Asylum in Ireland which contained the recognition rate for asylum applications in Ireland.
The report found that recognition rates, which refer to positive decisions, "are somewhere in the region of 85.5% at the highest although when corrected they seem to be as low as 30%".
In reference to Treanor's claim about people claiming benefits in this country, Gageby said it was "legally incorrect" to say that EU migrants can claim benefits after 72 hours in Ireland.
Representing Treanor, Healy also referenced Article 40 of the Constitution which protects the right of citizens to express freely their convictions and opinions.
"Accordingly Under Article 40 we say that Mr. Treanor was simply asserting his rights under Article 40 and that opinions that he expresses are a matter to be corrected by his political opponents, and not by SIPO," he said.
Written submissions to SIPO on foot of today's hearing are to be submitted within one week.

Did you know there may be a Facebook set of rules to determine what is going onto to your news feed and the feeds of your fans?
Of path this set of rules is extremely mystery, but there are some very common theories on how you can improve your Facebook advertising and marketing marketing campaign to ensure your posts get onto your lovers news feed and solid your business right into a high quality mild.
Here are a few recommendations:
Don't over percentage.
You might anticipate that the greater content material you produce and share on your Page, the greater posts may be seen in the News Feeds of your fans. This is inaccurate.
This tactic can backfire particularly when you have a low "Page Like remember". Posting too regularly also causes your lovers to un-Like a Page. The secret's to submit first-rate content that has the capability to head viral or get hold of high consumer feedback. Having lots of posts with low consumer comments will reduce your Page's chances of getting into the News Feeds of your fans.
As a easy rule of thumb I want to restrict a Page's every day content to one or 2 posts that I assume will acquire high fees of engagement. For instance humans will find it irresistible, comment on it, share it, or view it. Facebook can determine in case your content is getting any engagement and that is believed to be a massive a part of the Facebook set of rules.
Vary Your Media content material
Often it's no longer what you are announcing, however the media content material you upload that sparks engagement.
If your posts consist of snap shots, films, and polls you will get extra engagement. Another approach is posting hot subjects or arguable topics with a ballot , this works to spark numerous feedback.
There is also principle that a comment contains extra price in the Facebook Algorithm than a like. Therefore extra comments gets you more publicity on people's information feeds. If you are posting a debatable subject matter or a easy poll in maximum cases it's far higher to remain impartial and permit your users & fanatics vote and comment amongst themselves.
Viral Photos Videos or Content
This is a no-brainer. If you are able to create a viral video or picture it can unfold like wildfire and might work to accumulate you even more fans for your page. This additionally SASSA r350 grant application online link triggers Facebook into thinking you have something sincerely hot.
Always Provide Positive Good Messaging
This one is a bit off subject matter… However very critical.
Many groups occasionally underestimate the price of top public communique and the way important it's miles in constructing your recognition and business specifically on Facebook information feeds. Most importantly it's far crucial to remember how massive the internet certainly is, and how it is able to make or destroy your recognition.
The net is unforgiving!
If you make a publish that casts your business into a terrible mild, or maybe send an e-mail to a purchaser in an unprofessional or terrible tone this will come lower back to hang-out you and can go as a long way as ruining the accept as true with or true popularity among your fanatics which you have labored hard to construct.
Always remember that after you or your commercial enterprise publishes some thing stay on line, whether it be an email to someone else, image, video or Facebook post, or even a forum or blog put up, this is going to be associated in your business FOREVER.
Everything has the capability to go viral even a bad publish or electronic mail.
Post Images and Comments That Are Likeable
This sounds easy however it isn't always. It takes plenty of testing. One approach is to visit a chief business in your niche and observe their web page. See what people are liking the most. Then consider growing a post comparable but presenting even more price or some thing which can spark even extra person engagement on your web page.
Present Your Business in an Interesting Way
People will be greater apt to test out your commercial enterprise in case you offer beneficial content and exciting equipment for them. For example, create a case study, or educational video, or thrilling new manner to do some thing, and contain what you have to offer into it.
The Facebook algorithm may be fishy at instances and it's miles constantly changing.

Weekend Getaway Paso Robles
Paso Robles is an eloquent city off the Central Coast of California. Known for its variety of Zinfandel and Rhône style wines, Paso has approximately 40,000 vineyard acres planted with wine grapes nestled in the San Luis Obispo County. In addition to the vast majority of wineries, there are a few other trademarks the locals and tourists are able to visit. Thermal hot springs, almond orchards, olive groves and playing host to the mid-state fair are all top attractions featured here in the relaxing city of Paso Robles.
Where to Stay:
Allegretto Resort:
The Allegretto Resort is an upscale Tuscan-style resort situated on a beautiful 20 acre vineyard that includes wine grapes, olives, and fruit trees. The Allegretto also offers a posh indoor spa, outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and a rustic restaurant. The spacious 171 guest rooms and suites provide scenic vineyard views with charming decor. Resort grounds feature statues and artifacts from all over the world which were hand-picked by the delightful owner, Douglas Ayres, who designed and built the hotel. During our pleasant conversation with Mr. Ayres he expressed his passion in creating a place where everyone feels welcome no matter what historical background. This resort wraps itself around a 12,000 square foot courtyard complete with numerous walking paths, well-groomed gardens, and a gorgeous Abbey.
How to plan your day:
Start your morning with a complimentary cup of Keurig coffee in your lavish guest room. If preferred, one can take advantage of the concierge room service for breakfast in bed. Take a stroll down stairs to the embracing Willow Creek tasting room located on the first level to enjoy some of the very best wine Allegretto has to offer. In our experience, John was a wonderful wine expert who was very knowledgeable and kind enough to explain any detail we had questions about in regards to the resort. After finishing your wine tasting experience, one can head over to the swimming pool for some fun in the sun, unwind at the spa by enjoying a relaxing massage, or book a tourist attraction at the comfort of the front desk. In the evening, savor the flavors at the on site restaurant, Cello Ristorante & Bar. Although the menu boasts exquisite culinary choices, we selected to both experience the all natural beef fillets which were cooked to perfection. Our entrees were accompanied by a burnt orange martini and a local draught beer called Firestone Luponic Distortion. A unique fact about Allegretto is that it has a mixology bar with original beverages with a twist. Once dinner has been finished, retreat back to the sanctuary of your lavish European style room and appreciate the calm serenity with your loved one.
One thing we truly loved about The Allegretto Resort was the unique artifacts from around the world:
The beauty and historical artifacts on the grounds are remarkable!! They are truly a must see!
Behind every artifact and piece of artwork on the property is a story from the owner Doug Ayres.
Our Top Tourist Attraction Pick:
Work Family Guest Ranch
Work Family Guest Ranch is a family owned and operated horseback riding services located in the hills right outside Paso Robles near San Luis Obispo County.
This establishment offers guided horseback riding tours for all shapes and sizes. In our experience, we met with Kelly Work who is one of the owners, and she set us up on a private guided tour which was absolutely fabulous. The horses were well-trained and our guide was extremely personable which made our encounter all that more enjoyable. This excursion is suitable for anything from a romantic date to a family vacation getaway. We were pleased to learn that this foundation is a supporter of the, "Empower Vets and Vanquish PTSD" program. Mrs. Work explained the importance of this program and how passionate they are at the Work Family Guest Ranch in supporting them. Overall, our experience at the ranch was one of a kind. We truly appreciate the generosity of the owners and the love from the kind-hearted people who make this encounter possible.

I was out shooting during the Unicorn meteor shower and didn't capture any of those meteors. But I did snap this late Taurid meteor which is easily the best example I've ever captured of a meteor and its radiant. The star just to the right of the tail is Aldebaran which is, of course, one of Taurus the bull's eyes. Certainly meteors may appear anywhere in the sky and can be traced back to their radiant - but here's a case where the meteor is seen literally coming out of its radiant constellation.

Super Reliable Platform
How a User Can Avoid Being Scammed
Please carefully read the offer! Every platform that sells tickets has different terms of use and of course privacy policy. This will help you to decide whether you agree with terms of the purchasing ticket that particular operator offers. Each user has to pay attention to it.
Second one:
Do not buy your ticket by a secondhand! A person does not have to use
The first one: different social networking sites. And especially do not purchase from strangers who have already printed e-tickets. You have to know that a reliable and trustworthy ticket operator is your best way not to be abused.
Third one:
You have to use a secure Internet connection! Please make sure that your personal information is processed using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption on the homepage of the chosen ticket agent or checkout page. All personal data must be secured. It means that all your personal information will be encoded when sending credit and debit card numbers, name and address. You can check this with the help of your browser. If you see a particular symbol like a closed padlock, then this page is secured.
Fourth rule:
Use a secure payment system! Many people say that the best purchasing system is PayPal. Another common and safe way to pay for goods via the Internet is a VISA / MasterCard payment system. A person may also use such popular method as electronic money, for an instance Web-money, kiwi, etc.
Fifth one:
Carefully check the information that is written on the ticket! There must be such info as name and logo of the event, date, time and address of the venue, the type of ticket; block with official rules of visiting event; logo, name, and address of the organizing company. Also such data as order number, the name of the buyer, the price of ticket, unique barcode.

A 35 year-old female is taking oral contraceptives containing estrogen and has Factor V Leiden, a genetic predisposition to venous thrombosis. She develops an acutely edematous right leg. A duplex US shows a deep venous thrombosis of the right femoral vein. Before unfractionated heparin is started in the emergency department, she develops acute pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath. A CT angiogram reveals an acute pulmonary embolism. What is the mechanism for the pulmonary embolism?
There has been thromboembolism. The deep venous thrombosis migrated to the pulmonary arteries.
What is the common mechanism for a stroke?
- athroembolism of a carotid bifurcation lesion 2. thromboembolism from the L atrial appendage in A-fib
Large arteries – more elastin Smaller arteries – more collagen Arterioles – more _____
smooth muscle
What is venous thromboembolic disease?

If the MI is caused by a plaque rupture that results in a non-occlusive thrombosis, it is called a _____ and is treated by ____.
NSTEMI; anticoagulation/vasodilators
What occurs in the abnormal endothelium?
a) Increased permeability to lipoprotein particles. b) Increased expression of cell adhesion molecules and increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, IL-1) resulting in increased leukocyte recruitment. c) Decreased release of nitric oxide and prostacyclin which predisposes to vasoconstriction, platelet activation, and thrombosis.
Large arteries – ______ Smaller arteries – more collagen Arterioles – more smooth muscle
more elastin
What is the common mechanism for claudication?
a stable, obstructive plaque that is >70% occlusive
An 80 year-old male with a history of atrial fibrillation is unable to tolerate anticoagulation with warfarin due to gastrointestinal bleeding. He develops sudden onset of pain in his right foot. His right foot is also pale and cool to the touch compared to the contralateral lower extremity. There are no pulses in the right foot. Which of the following is MOST LIKELY to describe the pathophysiology within the right popliteal artery?
There has been thromboembolization. For example, a thrombus from the left atrial appendage formed due to this patient's atrial fibrillation and lack of anticoagulation. The left atrial appendage thrombus has migrated to the right popliteal artery to obstruct blood flow acutely. Because it is an acute event, there has not been time for collaterals to develop to prevent ischemia.
What is the common mechanism for acute limb ischemia
usually a thrombotic event- acute- obstructs blood flow- can be atheroembolism or thromboembolism
What is the common mechanism for an MI?
ruptured plaque ==> in-situ thrombosis
What is a stable plaque?
rich in fibrous tissue, calcified, low lipid content, inflammation, and apoptosis
_____ is expressed on the luminal side of the epi.
NO synthase
A 61 year-old male with a history of hypercholesterolemia presents with severe substernal chest pain at rest and 3 mm of ST elevation in the anterior leads of an ECG. The pain is NOT relieved by nitroglycerin, aspirin, or an unfractionated heparin infusion. Which of the following best describes the most likely pathophysiology within the left anterior descending coronary artery?
The fibrous cap of a lipid-rich atherosclerotic plaque ruptured. The plaque was previously 50% obstructive but now a platelet-rich thrombus has formed on the exposed subendothelial components of the plaque such that the lesion is now 100% obstructive to blood flow (STEMI).
Normal paracrine and endocrine functions of the endothelium include?
a) Defend against thrombosis. (For example, by producing antithrombotic molecules such as heparans and tissue plasminogen activator.) b) Provide anti-inflammatory properties. (For example, by downregulating expression of cell adhesion molecules thereby decreasing leukocyte recruitment.) c) Promote vasodilatation (For example, by secreting vasodilatory molecules such as nitric oxide and prostacyclin.)
What are the 2 manifestations of PAD?
- claudiacation 2. acute limb ischemia
NO is synthesized from the aa, ____.
What molecules does the endothelium express that regulates thrombus formation?
- heparin sulfate 2. thrombin 3. NO 4. platelet activation factor 5. prostacyclin
What molecules to endothelial cells express that allow inflammatory cells to enter the intima?
selectins and CAMs
A 79 year-old female has sudden loss of vision in the right eye. A duplex ultrasound of the carotid arteries reveals a 50% right internal carotid artery stenosis. The neurologist on call states that this carotid stenosis likely is the cause of this patient's stroke. What is the most likely mechanism for this adverse clinical event?
There has been atheroembolism. For example, a portion of an atherosclerotic plaque has migrated from the right internal carotid lesion into the right ophthalmic artery to obstructive blood flow acutely. The only manifestation of the event is right eye vision loss because the embolism did not involve other cerebral arteries.
