This document describes a simulation experiment to study the effects of various drugs on blood pressure and heart rate in a pithed rat model. The drugs tested include acetylcholine (ACh), glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), an NO synthase inhibitor (L-NOArg), and atropine. The simulation involves recording changes after intravenous injection of these drugs, alone and in combination. A series of questions about the mechanisms and clinical uses of organic nitrates in angina treatment are also provided, along with answers.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Set of Questions (with answers)
1. What two mechanistic strategies are used in the treatment of angina?
1. Increase oxygen supply to the myocardium
2. Decrease myocardial oxygen demand
2. What types of drugs can increase oxygen supply?
Nitrates; calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
3. What types of drugs can decrease oxygen demand?
Nitrates; CCBs; β-blockers
4. What is the drug of choice for immediate relief of anginal symptoms?
Sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG)
5. What is the mechanism of action of nitrates?
Nitrates form nitrites; nitrites form nitric oxide (NO); NO activates guanylyl cyclase to
increase cGMP; increased cGMP leads to increased relaxation of vascular smooth
muscle.
6. How does cGMP lead to relaxation of vascular smooth muscle?
Causes dephosphorylation of myosin light chains
7. How do nitrates increase oxygen supply?
Dilation of coronary vessels which leads to increased blood supply
8. How do nitrates decrease oxygen demand?
Dilation of large veins which leads to preload reduction; decreased preload reduces the
amount of work done by the heart; decreased amount of work results in decreased
myocardial oxygen requirement
9. What are the adverse effects of nitrates?
Headache; hypotension; reflex tachycardia; facial flushing; methemoglobinemia
10. Why must patients have at least a 10-to 12-hour “nitrate-free” interval every day?
Tolerance (tachyphylaxis) develops to nitrates if given on a continuous (around-the-
clock) basis
11. Nitrates are contraindicated in patients taking which drugs?
1. Sildenafil 2. Vardenafil 3. Tadalafil
12. Methemoglobin formation, specifically by amyl nitrite, can be used to treat what type of
poisoning?
Cyanide
13. What are the common formulations of nitrates?
NTG; isosorbide mononitrate; isosorbide dinitrate
14. What is the time to peak effect of sublingual NTG?
2 minutes
15. What is the dosing frequency of sublingual NTG during an anginal episode?
Every 5 minutes for a maximum of three doses
16. How do β-blockers work in the treatment of angina?
Inhibition of β 1 -adrenoceptors which leads to decreased CO, HR, and force of
contraction, thereby reducing the workload of the heart and oxygen demand
17. Do α-blockers increase oxygen supply?
No
18. For each of the following CCBs, state whether their primary effects are on the myocardium or peripheral
vasculature:
Verapamil -Myocardium (greater negative inotropic effects)
Dihydropyridines -Peripheral vasculature (more potent vasodilators)
(DHP;nifedipine, amlodipine, felodipine, isradipine, nicardipine) Diltiazem-Myocardium
19. How do CCBs work in the treatment of angina?
7. PROBLEM2 2021
7 CVSSimulation forPHASEIIMBBS PHARMACOLOGYSTUDENTS (https://doctoru.weebly.com/)
Block vascular L-type calcium channels which leads to decreased heart contractility and
increased vasodilation
20. How can ACh lower blood pressure?
ACh binds to ACh receptors in the vasculature leading to increased synthesis of nitric
oxide (NO) via second messenger pathways. An increase in NO leads to vasodilation.
21. NO is also known as what?
Endothelial-derived relaxation factor (EDRF)
22. What amino acid is a precursor of NO synthesis?
Arginine
23. What does ACh do to the ciliary muscle of the eye?
Increased contraction which leads to increased accommodation
24. How does ACh cause miosis?
Increased contraction of the circular muscle in the iris.
