Response to posts so far

Maria, brilliant work!! Cath, you are right in classifying Type I diabetes as autoimmune. There is some debate/discussion of reclassifying Type II as an autoimmune disorder.

Is anyone interested in researching this further on this blog?  Will definitley help with the OSCA prep!

Revision 2011 OSCA

Hi All

In preparation for the BOH 2 OSCA lets get some discussion going on the following topics:

What are cardiomyopathies? What do you need to consider when treating patients with these conditions?

Explain the pharmacological nature of the following:

ACE inhibitors & Angiotensin- II-receptor antagonists.



Beta 1-adrenoceptors and Beta 1-blockers as well!

Why is diabetes considered an autoimmune disorder?

Lets get the discussion flowing!
