Hemolysis

liver and blood clotting systems of the body, caused by the breakdown of red blood cells (Hemolysis), an extremely high level of enzymes in the liver and a low platelet count. Although present in Preeclampsia and Eclampsia vomiting and Nausea are more prominent in this form of the disease. Women with HELLP Syndrome will also develop hemolytic anemia resulting from the low number of blood cells caused by the hemolysis. Ultimately the only “real” cure for Preeclampsia/Eclampsia and HELLP Syndrome…

Results: In order to identify the gram positive isolate in the unknown #260 broth, I observed the bacterium under the microscope, created a stock culture, and conducted a variety of biochemical tests. First, I prepared a gram stain of the mixed culture using aseptic technique, shown in Figure 1, and found two different bacteria. There were too numerous to count purple cocci in clusters, pairs, and some single cells, which I identified as the target isolate. The other bacteria present a pink…

As discussed by David, Andrew, Michael, & Jerrold (2007) and Tiruvoipati & Peek (2008) the mode of ECMO Therapy chosen for a patient is tailored to the type of treatment and goal you are trying to accomplish. In the Venovenous mode (VV mode) it normally treats respiratory failure and the Venoarterial mode (VA mode) treat cardiorespiratory failure.4-5 In figure 1 below it shows the difference between Venoarterial and Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. Venoarterial ECMO Venovenous…

Hemolysis is where the cell may destruct from the process of osmosis. The three solution provided in procedures 9.3 and you will also need three testing tubes. In the procedures it will be best to allow your instructor to drop the fresh sheep blood into the…

significant. DAT alone cannot be used in making a clinical judgment due to the existence of the positive results in about 8% of hospitalized patients. Therefore, the outcomes of DAT should have a clinical correlation with a particular condition like hemolysis due to…

Characterization of the oxidized amylose and the linalool/oxidized amylose inclusion complex. The high water solubility of oxidized amylose can broaden the applications in water environment.14, 32 The Table 1 shows the properties of amylose and oxidized amylose. As expected, the solubility of oxidized amyloses in water is highly improved due to the introduced carboxyl and carbonyl groups. And it increases greatly with the increase of carboxyl content. The results suggest that due to the two-step…

In this lab report a number of tests and results will be discussed. Unknown labs are performed for many reasons ranging from figuring out the causative agent in a diseased patient, to knowing the correct microorganism to use when making certain foods and antibiotics. Unknown labs are a key to testing the knowledge a student has gained throughout the course. Materials: Microscope Bunsen Burner Beaker Test Tube Holder Test Tube Clothes pin Striker Loops and Needles Distilled Water Crystal…

clinical manifestations because the IgM class antibodies produced by the mother cannot cross the placenta and cause harm to the fetus. In the second or current pregnancy IgM antibodies class switches to IgG, which can cross the placenta, leading to hemolysis of fetal red blood cells, which can be fatal if not treated. It is known that this patient has IgG class antibodies because the phases of reaction (immediate spin, 37°C, and after the addition of AHG) are characteristic of IgG reactions. IgM…

Bedeiry 1 This case study talks about a male trauma patient aged 36 years who was transported to a health care facility for emergency surgery. A sample was taken to the blood bank for pre-transfusion testing; including type and antibody screen and crossmatch for six units of PRBCs. After the units were issued to the OR, the patient received five compatible units of RBCs. After the infusion of about 100mL of the sixth unit, the transfusion stopped because the patient became hypotensive. The…

Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that affects red blood cells. The sickle cell gene inherited form both parents causes the production of structurally abnormal hemoglobin, clinical known as hemoglobin S, which cluster together, causing red blood cells to become rigid and develop a crescent shape. These sickled cells become trapped in small blood vessel and block them, reducing blood and oxygen flow in many parts of the body, and leading to tissue and organ damage.…
