Decrease in eosinophil indicates that there are some conditions that is causing
the same. One condition would be drunkenness. Excessive alcohol intake or
excessive production or cortisol, like Cushing’s disease can result in a low
eosinophils count.

Mechanism of Action:
Mechanism of Action Temozolomide is a drug which is rapidly and
nonenzymatically converted to the active alkylating metabolite MTIC [ (methyl-
triazene-1-yl)-imidazole-4-carboxamide]; this conversion is spontaneous,
nonenzymatic, and occurs under physiologic conditions in all tissues to which it
distributes
Indication:
Temozolomide Capsules are indicated for the treatment of adult patients with
refractory anaplastic astrocytoma who have experienced disease progression on
a drug regimen containing nitrosourea and procarbazine.
Contraindication:
Temozolomide is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity
reactions to:
Adverse Effects:
- seizure (convulsions);
- sudden chest pain or discomfort, wheezing, dry cough;
- low blood cell counts--fever, chills, mouth sores, skin sores, easy bruising,
unusual bleeding, pale skin, cold hands and feet, feeling light-headed or short of
breath; or
- liver problems--nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, tiredness, loss of appetite,
dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Mechanism of Action:
Carvedilol is a potent antihypertensive agent with a dual mechanism of action. At
relatively low concentrations it is a competitive beta-adrenoceptor antagonist and
a vasodilator, whereas at higher concentrations it is also a calcium channel
antagonist.
Indication:
Carvedilol is a non-selective adrenergic blocker indicated for the chronic therapy
of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), hypertension, and left
ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction (MI) in clinically stable
patients.
Contraindication:
Carvedilol is contraindicated in the following conditions: Bronchial asthma or
related bronchospastic conditions. Deaths from status asthmaticus have been
reported following single doses of Carvedilol. Second- or third-degree AV block.
Sick sinus syndrome. Severe bradycardia (unless a permanent pacemaker is in
place).
Adverse Effects:
- Dizziness
-Edema (fluid accumulation)
- Decreased heart rate
-Low blood pressure
- Weight gain
- increased blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia)
- Diarrhea
Mechanism of Action:
Mechanism of Action Ramipril is an ACE inhibitor which prevents the formation of
angiotensin II from angiotensin I and exhibits pharmacologic effects that are
similar to captopril. Ramipril must undergo enzymatic saponification by esterases
in the liver to its biologically active metabolite, ramiprilat.
Indication:
This medication is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, used alone
or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is also
used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients at risk for these
problems and to improve survival in patients with heart failure after a heart
attack.
Contraindication:
Contraindications to its use include volume-depleted patients, a history of
angioedema while on an ACE inhibitor, pregnancy and hypotension. [citation
needed] People should not take ramipril (or any ACE inhibitors) if they have
hyperkalemia.Sick sinus syndrome. Severe bradycardia (unless a permanent
pacemaker is in place).
Adverse Effects:
- hives; severe stomach pain; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips,
tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have: a light-headed feeling, like
you might pass out; jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes)
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
A coronary angiogram is a procedure that uses X-ray imaging to see your heart's
blood vessels. The test is generally done to see if there's a restriction in blood
flow going to the heart.
During the you lie on your back on an X-ray table. Because the table may be
tilted during the procedure, safety straps may be fastened across your chest and
legs. X-ray cameras will move over and around your head and chest to take
pictures from many angles.
An IV line is inserted into a vein in your arm. You may be given a sedative
through the IV to help you relax, as well as other medications and fluids. You'll be
very sleepy and may drift off to sleep during the procedure, but you'll still be able
to be easily awakened to follow any instructions.
Electrodes on your chest monitor your heart throughout the procedure. A blood
pressure cuff tracks your blood pressure and another device, a pulse oximeter,
measures the amount of oxygen in your blood.
A small amount of hair may be shaved from your groin or arm where a flexible
tube (catheter) will be inserted. The area is washed and disinfected and then
numbed with an injection of local anesthetic.
A small incision is made at the entry site, and a short plastic tube (sheath) is
inserted into your artery. The catheter is inserted through the sheath into your
blood vessel and carefully threaded to your heart or coronary arteries.
Threading the catheter shouldn't cause pain, and you shouldn't feel it moving
through your body. Tell your health care team if you have any discomfort.
Dye (contrast material) is injected through the catheter. When this happens, you
may have a brief sensation of flushing or warmth. But again, tell your health care
team if you feel pain or discomfort.
The dye is easy to see on X-ray images. As it moves through your blood vessels,
your doctor can observe its flow and identify any blockages or constricted areas.
Depending on what your doctor discovers during your angiogram, you may have
additional catheter procedures at the same time, such as a balloon angioplasty or
a stent placement to open up a narrowed artery. Other noninvasive tests, such
as ultrasound, may help your doctor evaluate identified blockages.
Having an angiogram takes about one hour, although it may be longer, especially
if combined with other cardiac catheterization procedures. Preparation and post-
procedure care can add more time
