How is Balandtidium coli different than other protozoa?
Route of transmission?
Symptoms (2) Correct Ans - Trophozoites and cysts In trophozoites, the two nuclei are visible. The macronucleus is long and sausage-shaped, and the spherical micronucleus is nested next to it, often hidden by the macronucleus. Balantidium is the only ciliated protozoan known to infect humans. Balantidiasis is a zoonotic disease and is acquired by humans via the feco-oral route from the normal host, the pig, where it is asymptomatic. Contaminated water is the most common mechanism of transmission. In acute disease, explosive diarrhea may occur as often as every twenty minutes. Perforation of the colon may also occur in acute infections which can lead to life-threatening situations
ADP receptor inhibitors
Ticlopidine
prasugrel,
ticagrelor
clopidogrell Correct Ans - inhibit platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptors. Inhibit fibrinogen binding by preventing glycoprotein IIb/IIIa from What appears to be the cause of Reye syndrome?
