curcumin/nanocurcumin (vehicle: PBS containing 10% ethanol) per mice at 100 mg/kg body weight and then bled at different time points via retro-orbital puncture and blood collected from each mouse and subjected to analysis by HPLC. Figure 2. Lung and spleen CFU. Mice infected with a low-dose aerosol inoculum (~150 CFU/mice) of M.tb strain H37Rv and treatment of nano curcumin started 7 days post infection. Mice were sacrificed at various…

Penicillin is antibiotic that help prevents infections. It reduces the chances of having severe infections caused by pneumococcus bacteria in children, but some doctors stop the medicine after the age of 5. People that have had their spleen removed or people with hemoglobin SS or Sb thalassemia generally continue the antibiotic throughout their lives (“How is Sickle Cell Disease Treated?”). The next medicine that is commonly used when treating sickle cell disease is known as Hydroxyurea…

membranes. Gaucher disease occurs when a enzyme is deficient. When the enzyme is defective, glucocerebroside accumulates, particularly in white blood cells and especially in macrophages (mononuclear leukocytes). Glucocerebroside can collect in the spleen, liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, and bone marrow. It is also one of the most common lysosomal storage diseases. It should be considered in any child or adult with an unexplained splenohepatomegaly and cytopenia which are seen in the three types…

Mononucleosis Overview: The mononucleosis or glandular fever is an infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is characterized by sore throat, swollen glands and fatigue, which can last for weeks. It affects more adolescents and young adults and produces lifelong immunity against the virus. The integrated medicine addresses this disease with measures to combat the symptoms, with a nutritious diet to support the immune system, with massage and homeopathic remedies. Causes:…

Step 4: To use imagination and explore several alternatives of the case study, it affords us to use deontology, utilitarianisms, and a virtue ethics to explore the. The idea is to have a caring response that create a process in which the dilemma will not manifest itself again. The first practical alternative is to explore treatment that will make the patient comfortable without more alternatives test and extra treatment and more fulfilling for the patient and her brother. Find new ways to help…

in the identification and management of patients with ALL in AML. The pathologic and clinical signs of leukemia are caused by invasion and replacement of any tissue of the body with nonfunctional leukemic cells. Highly vascular organs such as the spleen and liver are the worst affected. Although leukemia is an over production of white blood cells most often the WBC count is low. In all types of leukemia, bone marrow production is depressed. The three main difficulties of leukemia are anemia,…

red and white blood cell count which can allow doctors to further diagnose (Marieb and Smith 2017). Some symptoms that a patient with this disease will experience are weight loss, general sickly feeling, and discomfort due to the enlargement of the spleen (Cardama and Cortes 2011). Another symptom that could help with patient diagnosis is the presence of blood in the eye known as retinal hemorrhage (Merriam-Webster). The presence of this symptom could help doctors further diagnose the affliction…

measured were markedly reduced (average PCV was between 17% and 22%). Necropsy findings of the sampled chickens revealed watery blood, yellow fatty bone marrow, markedly atrophied thymus glands, atrophied bursa of Fabricius, and enlarged livers and spleens. The clinical signs, postmortem lesions, and PCV values agreed with the findings of (Yuasa et al., 1979, Taniguchi et al., 1982 & 1983, Aly 2001) and (Pope 1991, Ramadan et al., 1998) who stated that a case of hematocrit value below 27% with…

liver which will increase the pressure in the vein that brings blood from the intestines and spleen to the liver. This is referred to portal hypertension. Portal hypertension will cause fluid to accumulate in the abdomen and legs causing swelling resulting from the livers lack of ability to make enough blood protein, such as albumin. Decreased white blood cells and platelets in the blood can cause the spleen to become enlarged. Other complications may include reoccurring infections,…

Through the dissection of the rat, my lab partner and I were able to gain a better understanding of the animal’s anatomy by viewing it’s external organs, as well, after careful incisions, viewing the inside of the rat’s anatomy. The rat is a typical mammal, with a head, clearly defined neck, trunk and tail. As such, the rat has two unique aspects that distinguish mammals from other vertebrates: an external covering of hair and mammary glands. As a vertebrate mammal, much of the rat’s structural…
