Appendicitis and COX pathway

A vertical poster design showcasing the MoA of ibuprofen on pain management in patients with acute appendicitis. NSAIDs like ibuprofen, block the active site of cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme that converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandin. When the injured cells release more Arachidonic acid, COX enzyme thus converts them to prostaglandin (PGE2). Prostaglandin is a lipid compound in the cell membrane that mediate pain and inflammatory process.

A portrait illustration is added into the poster to mimic the real life situation. The poster is targeting to educated audience who have some biochemical knowledge, such as undergraduate students, and first-year medical students.
