@formyfansonly6@AltA2ZChannel11 What? Ate or Kuya is not disrespectful. It is a Filipino thing. Let's stop making filipino words and endearments as inferior. Kaya walang identity ang Pinoy eh gusto lahat i-adapt mga pang banyaga.
Correct Answer: B. Protamine sulfate
➜ Enoxaparin (Clexane) is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
➜ The specific antidote is protamine sulfate, which partially reverses its anticoagulant effect.
➜ It works by binding to heparin and neutralizing its activity.
➜ Vitamin K is for warfarin, naloxone for opioids, and deferoxamine for iron toxicity.
Answer: B. Protamine sulfate ✅
@DrNovinoTailor 👉Doctors often stop metformin before a CT scan when iodinated contrast dye is being used 👇
Metformin + iodinated contrast → concern for contrast-induced nephropathy → accumulation of metformin → lactic acidosis. ✅
Doctors advise patients to stop metformin before certain CT scans with iodinated contrast because they want to prevent a rare but dangerous complication: metformin‑associated lactic acidosis.
Explanation :-
👉 Metformin is cleared by the kidneys.
👉 Iodinated contrast used in CT scans can sometimes cause contrast‑induced nephropathy.
👉 If the kidneys cannot clear metformin, it accumulates, leading to lactic acidosis, a rare but life‑threatening metabolic emergency.
Great question! 🔥
The classic "hypoxic drive" explanation is mostly a myth. The main reasons high-flow O₂ can worsen hypercapnia in COPD (especially retainers) are:V/Q mismatch (biggest factor): Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction diverts blood from poorly ventilated areas. Excess O₂ blunts this, flooding bad alveoli - more dead space, worse CO₂ retention.
Haldane effect: Higher O₂ reduces hemoglobin's affinity for CO₂, so more CO₂ stays dissolved in plasma - higher PaCO₂.
Hypoxic drive suppression plays a minor role at most (most COPD patients still have strong hypercapnic drive).
Key practice: Titrate O₂ to SpO₂ 88-92% in at-risk patients. Don't withhold it if they're hypoxic-use controlled delivery (e.g., Venturi masks) and monitor ABGs.
Evidence-based nuance beats old dogma every time. What do you think, medics?

‘MAG-MEETING TAYO, MAY NAIISIP AKONG SOLUSYON’
Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, inimbitahan si Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian na makipagpulong para pag-usapan kung sino ang tunay na Senate President.
“I’ll offer you a solution, Senator Win. Mag-meeting tayo, may naiisip akong solusyon. Mahirap humanap ng solusyon kung sino ang tunay na Senate President kasi ’yung tatlong libro na hawak ko [Philippine Constitution, Rules of the Senate, at Bibliya] ay nagsasabing ang legitimate Senate President ay ’yung nahalal ng 13,” ani Cayetano sa kaniyang Facebook live ngayong Sabado, June 6, 2026.

Because Citrate in stored blood products acts as an anticoagulant by binding ionized calcium, potentially causing hypocalcemia that leads to impaired clotting, arrhythmias, and reduced cardiac contractility.
Supplementation with calcium gluconate (often 1g per 3 units of RBCs) helps restore calcium levels, especially during massive transfusions or in patients with impaired citrate metabolism like liver dysfunction or hypothermia.
SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.
This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…
Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.
