A revision bank of all the questions needed to learn, the content for fundamentals of pathology which is a module underneath biomedical sciences for first year.

These notes cover antiviral drugs, explaining their classification, mechanisms of action, clinical uses, and key considerations. The notes are structured to show how drugs target specific stages of the viral life cycle and are supported with diagrams, colour-coded highlights, and tables for clarity.

These notes cover antibacterial drugs according to their mechanism of action cell wall synthesis inhibitors, protein synthesis inhibitors, nucleic acid inhibitors, and metabolic pathway inhibitors with diagrams, tables, and colour highlights to illustrate drug targets and clinical relevance.

These notes explain antiplatelet drugs, covering their definition, uses, types, mechanisms, and side effects, supported by diagrams, tables, and colour highlights for clear understanding

These notes cover gastric acid secretion by parietal cells, the harmful effects of excess acid, and the mechanisms and examples of acid-suppressing drugs, supported by diagrams and colour-coded highlights.

These notes cover anticoagulants, including heparins, hirudins, DOACs, and warfarin, explaining their mechanisms of action and clinical roles using diagrams and colour-coded highlights

These notes cover the classes of anti-diabetic drugs, strategies to reduce blood glucose, and mechanisms of action, supported by diagrams and colour-coded summaries of therapeutic targets.

These notes cover corticosteroids and glucocorticoids, including adrenal gland anatomy, mechanisms of action, anti-inflammatory effects on immune cells, clinical uses, Cushing syndrome, side effects, and routes of administration, supported by diagrams and colour-coded highlights.

These notes explain anti-arrhythmic drugs using the Vaughan Williams classification, linking ion channel modulation to changes in cardiac action potentials, ECG findings, clinical uses, and adverse effects, supported by diagrams and colour-coded highlights.

These notes cover calcium channel physiology, cardiac electrophysiology, and the pharmacology of calcium channel blockers, including channel classes, vascular selectivity, and their role in angina and Raynaud’s phenomenon, supported by diagrams and colour-coded highlights.
