Antihypertensive treatment with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) is often offered to patients with stage 2 hypertension. Please describe the intracellular signaling events, mechanisms of action on blood vessels and important adverse effects of CCBs. In addition, describe considerations such as the age of a patient when prescribing a CCB at the first stage of antihypertensive therapy according to NICE guidelines

Individuals undergoing anti-angiogenesis therapy with VEGF inhibitors often show initial reduction in tumor volume, but quickly develop resistance to the therapy. Resistant patients have elevated levels of Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF) and Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) compared to patients that do not develop resistance. Briefly explain the two likely mechanisms by which these patients developed resistance.

It is known that heparin acts by increasing the activity of antithrombin, causing a conformational change. LMWHs inhibit mainly factor Xa. Although low doses of heparin act primarily by neutralizing factor Xa, at high doses it prevents thrombin-induced platelet activation and prolongs bleeding time. What are major clinical benefits using heparin or LMWHs?
