Violet red bile agar is a selective medium used to identify lactose-fermenting coliforms. This medium is typically used to test dairy products and water. The medium contains lactose which acts as a carbohydrate source, bile salts and crystal violet that act as an inhibitory agent towards gram-positive microorganisms and neutral red is added to serve as a pH indicator, microorganisms lower the pH which results in the colonies turning red. Some of the organisms that grow on this medium are:…

CASE REPORT SURGERY CORE CLINICAL CLERKSHIP Introduction Pancreatic cancer remains a highly lethal malignancy due to its clinically silent nature. Patients most often present with jaundice due to compression of the common bile duct, pain that develops insidiously and weight loss. Treatment is accomplished surgically; however, only 15-20 percent of patients are candidates for surgery and 5-year survival post surgery is only 25-30 percent in node-negative and 10 percent…

breaks down the fat, it produces bile acids and it is the key organ for detoxification. Liver diseases nowadays seem to be very common; especially in the Western world, it is estimated that 1 in every 10 adults suffers from a condition called cholelithiasis. Cholelithiasis is the disease in which gallstones form within the biliary system, usually in the gallbladder where bile is stored and concentrated. Bile is a yellow-green substance containing bile salts, bile pigments, cholesterol,…

Bile functions as a fat emulsifier that breaks down fats into small particles. By making the fat into smaller particles, the fat can be digested. Bile has a composition of: cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, an assortment of electrolytes, water, bile salts, and bile pigments. (Bile salts are mainly cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids while bile pigment consists mostly of bilirubin.) Some accessory organs associated with the small intestine play a role in bile production, storage…

coaches asked if I wanted to join (Biles 46). My mom never thought about enrolling me into a gymnastics class even though I was always jumping around doing flips on our trampoline (Biles 47). That very week, my mom signed my sister and I up for a gymnastics class twice a week (Biles 47). My coaches would have to yell at me when I began to do flips I have yet to learn (Biles 50). A few years later, I got so advanced that my gymnastics program didn’t offer my level (Biles 94). Although I had to…

ten-time Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles as Outlier of the Year due to some by-chance opportunities and circumstances. At just 19 years old, Biles has become the most decorated women’s gymnast in the United States. She most likely would not have acquired these honors, had she not attended one school field trip to a gymnastics center, Biles may have never found her calling to gymnastics. She probably would have never been as successful as she is today. When Biles was young, she faced…

Asians and African Americans more often than Caucasians. The bile ducts, which would normally allow bile liquids to drain into the intestines and kidneys, are blocked. This blockage of bile, which aids in digestion, causes liver damage, and in turn, affects many vital body functions. Symptoms are noticed one to six weeks after birth, and include symptoms similar to neonatal jaundice. Infants develop cholestasis from the buildup of bile, and soon the bilirubin begins to accumulate in the blood,…

medals. But before the olympics, Simone Biles was just an average, everyday person. She was raised by her grandfather, Ron and grandmother Nellie, due to her mother's addictions and her father's abandonment. Biles discovered her talent at an early age, assuming she started gymnastics at age six, as a part of a daycare activity. Her instructor said she should continue, and soon enrolled into an optional training program at Bannon’s Gymnastix. In 2007, Biles started competing as a level eight…

make up the Biliary System are bile ducts, and the gallbladder. In the system once the bile is secreted from the liver and drained through the smile bile bones called canaliculli. They collect into the heapatic ducts, which then collect in the common heapatic ducts. The heapatic ducts join by the cystic duct to create the common bile duct. These would run from the liver to the duodenum, which would be the first section of the small intestine. However, not all the bile flows directly into the…
