four year old monkey was used in a malaria study. The monkey was reluctant to move nine days after being infected. The monkey had signs of severe malaria; was not eating and had a high heart rate. Twelve days after being infected, he had pale mucous membranes, a severe heart murmur and anemia, purple spots all over his body, and developed gangrene on his fingertips and tail, which he was biting because of extreme distress. This monkey should not have progressed to such an extensive state of…
Now days, microorganisms are very important to identify to Genus and species because they can cause various diseases. We need to know that what helpful or harmful microbe in this environment. This project’s purpose is to identify an unknown bacterium by various methods. Most stains used in microbiology are differential stain, which use more than one dye so that different cells, chemicals, or structures such as Gram staining, TTC reduction, Oxygen requirement test, Catalase test, Nitrate test,…
Epidermis Bullosa (EB) is a genetically inherited disease that mainly affects the entire the epidermis, hypodermis, mucous membrane and connective tissue. Depending on the severity of the particular form of EB can also affect the eyes, bones, digestive tract, and cardiovascular system. EB causes blisters and oral abruptions with the slightest trauma or frictional contact. The most common places EB affects is the hands, feet, face and oral area. Epidermis Bullosa has 4 major classifications:…
Although not as immediately critical as the availability of oxygen and glucose, it is important for the nervous system of ectothermic humans to maintain normothermia for effective cellular functioning (Morrison, 2011). The principle source of heat originates from the body. Temperature control mechanisms in humans consist of both core and peripheral processes. Responses elicited occur in a feed-forward manner. Changes in thermoreceptors in primary sensory nerve endings distributed to the skin are…
calcium absorption Vitamin D is require for calcium absorption in the body from side to side go on a diet or supplementation. It absorbs calcium ions. It is not easy to absorb and utilize anything biochemically. Emission of calcium is done by mucous membrane of small intestines and from urine in the form of calcium phosphate. 2.8 Dairy, a good source of Calcium Calcium is absorbed in the body from milk in larger %age than supplements. The reason is that cofactors are present in…
following diagram. Fig: Structure of human eye What is making up of the eye? Conjunctiva: It is a mucous membrane which covers the under surface of the eye lids and is reflected form the eyelids to cover the anterior part of the eyeball up to the margin of the cornea. The three layers (see the diagram for better understanding) of the eye are: 1. Sclera and cornea. Sclera is a firm, fibrous membrane and serves to maintain the shape of the eyeball. Cornea is a transparent part and is circular…
not let the pregnancy continue beyond 41 weeks. After all the parameters of gestation period are checked, doctors continue to monitor the cervix for signs of ‘ripening’. If the cervix begins to thin out, then labor is generally induced through the membrane sweep. If all labor inducing methods fail, then a Caesarian section is the only way to safely deliver the baby. (Read our article on Caesarian delivery to know more about the topic.) Changes happening to your body in week 41 Exhaustion…
sex for money or drugs. Syphilis is spread directly from person to person by direct contact with an infectious lesion. The contact could be through genital intercourse, oral intercourse, or anal intercourse. The bacteria passes through intact mucous membranes and abraded skin; they’re then transferred by the blood stream to every organ in the body. Babies are also at a high risk of getting syphilis from their mothers if the mothers are infected during pregnancy.…
5. Describe the medical and nursing management of a patient with acute renal failure. Include discussion of fluid administration, treatment of common electrolyte imbalances, and dialysis. The nurse plays important role in managing fluid and electrolyte balance during an incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). The nurse will assess and take objective data by observing and recording accurate intake and output. Also, the nurse will take daily measurements of the patient’s weight with the same…
Herpes zoster (shingles): a skin condition caused by varicella-zoster virus, the virus causing chickenpox (a childhood illness). Shingles is common among people with previous chickenpox history. The virus may remain inactive in the nerves for a long time and become active again as a consequence of weak immune system (elderly, cancer patients). The virus targets the epidermis and cause painful rashes that appear as clusters of fluid-filled blisters. Although blisters may occur anywhere on the…
