Hemolysis

FLUCYTOSINE Also known as 5-flurocyrosine or 5-FC. It’s an antifungal drug that is usually formulated with amphotericin for wide range of medical uses, it can be used by mouth for treatment of infections that could be caused by Cryptococcus neoformans or perhaps candida. It could also be used in the treatment of chromblastomycosis (chronic fungal infection of subcutaneous tissue or skin). Because of its weak antifungal action it can’t be used alone for treatment of serious, life threatening…

Ammonia is an end-product of deamination of amino acids. In vivo, it is physiologically produced, predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract, myocytes, lymphocytes, and the kidney. Ammonia is neurotoxic if it accumulates but, normally, it is metabolized to urea by hepatocytes, and to glutamine by myocytes and hepatocytes. Urea is excreted by the kidney, but can also diffuse into all tissues and body fluids. In the gastrointestinal tract, bacterial ureases produce ammonia from the urea.…

prompt interventions even up to pregnancy termination (11). The fairly favorable maternal outcome of preeclampsia is reversed in case of liver involvement (12). HELLP syndrome is signified as the risky evolution of preeclampsia, titled with (H) for hemolysis, (EL) for elevated liver functions tests, and (LP) for low platelet counts (13). However the essential clinicolaboratory correspondence between HELLP syndrome and AFLP carries a considerable diagnostic difficulty. A debatable…

Staphylococcus aureus within the throat. In the collection and isolation of the mixed culture from the nose and throat there were seven different test that aided in conformation of these two samples, which was the MSA fermentation plates, the beta hemolysis of the blood and DNA agar plate, the coagulase test, Antimicrobial substibility, the characteristics that were viewed under the microscope, and the catalase test. Out of these test, the determining factor in detecting positive or negative…

Rhesus disease (Rh disease) is a condition that occurs between a mother and her fetus when their blood types are incompatible. This condiiont occurs when an Rh-negative woman conceives a baby with an Rh-positive father and the baby inherits the Rh-positive blood type from the father. Rh-positive means that the protein (D antigen) can be found on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). If the D antigen is not present, then an individual is considered to be Rh-negative If the mother is Rh-negative…

hemoglobin is present, and will assess the size and shape of red blood cells present. Treatment: Sickle cell disease usually requires a long treatment, treatment includes: The usual clinical course for the disease in which both extra & intravascular hemolysis present with anemia (well tolerated) can be treated with:- A) Dose of 5 mg folic acid daily to overcome the folate loss due to continuous beak down of RBC. B) Preventive measures :avoidance of conditions that may cause or increase RBC…

Literature Research: Staphylococcus is a type of Gram-positive bacteria that are commonly found together in random clusters. They are sometimes found in the same habitat as Micrococcus and can be differentiated because of the occurrence of cytochromes (5). They are typically facultative anaerobes or microaerophils and are able to produce catalase, making it possible for them to convert hydrogen peroxide to water to avoid potential damage. The major product of fermentation is lactate and they…

condition in blood or chocolate agar in thirty-seven degrees celsius and is incubated for twenty-four hours; this increases the bacteria growth by five to ten percent. The characteristic of the culture of S. pneumonia is a small smooth colony with alpha hemolysis. S. pneumoniae pathogenic strain forms large polysaccharides capsules and their cell wall is a common peptidoglycan layer. The peptidoglycan layer has a backbone of N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acids that are present in…

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, the system in the body that is responsible for fighting disease, and is known to be the 6th most common cause of cancer death.1 There are many different types of lymphoma and is classified based on multiple factors such as the pathophysiology of the disease, how the disease metastasizes to other organs and its response to treatment. The two main types of lymphoma are NHL and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s…

In the last several years, much debate has been raised over the issues of child vaccinations here in the U.S. Various studies have yielded results that support both sides of the debate. At stake, is whether a parent can choose vaccines for their children, a decision that ultimately may protect the child, hurt the child, or possibly put others in the community at risk. Upon thorough factual research, a parent has a more informed to choose which vaccines should be administered to their child…
