This report will discuss and examine application and limitation of the social impacts, a key concept of Science as a Human Endeavour, in relation to tuberculosis. Biological Concepts and Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (NSW Government, 2014). There are two main types of TB, pulmonary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (Nanzip, 2017). Pulmonary tuberculosis is mainly associated with damage to the lungs and is the most common form of TB…

There were several medical theories that emerged and held their merit for a period of time. However by the 1900’s, one concept had dominated the medical landscape. The continued development of medical theories symbolized the increased complexity of thinking between physicians and scientists. During the 1800’s, major infectious diseases like cholera, tuberculosis, typhus, and yellow fever strongly emerged in Europe with the etiology of these infections far to be known. Some of the early concepts…

Thu Phan Khanh Nguyen Dr. Jennifer Bess MCB - 2000L - 87248 11 April 2024 Unknown Lab Report: Unknown #20 Unknown Number: #20 Bacteria identified as Enterococcus casseliflavus. Introduction: Many bacteria have existed for hundreds of millions of years that we have not yet discovered. Those bacteria can survive under the thawing layers of ice, so when it melts, they are awakened and become strongly active. These bacteria are consumed by plants and animals, whom we also consume as our daily…

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…

O O Angel K. Nickel 0 I 5 as PULMONARY TB 2 Abstract The world was astounded by the dramatic increase in Tuberculosis cases occurring in 1985. The disease strongly affects the lungs however if serious enough it can happen anywhere in the body. An individuals with the TB disease can spread the infection through air. This means that a simple cough, laugh, sneeze, or singing can spread it to anyone within close range. A normal healthy adult can be infected but yet have no complication or symptoms,…

City brings her 6-year-old child to see her primary care physician, complaining that her child has seemed “off” for the past month. The child has been extremely fatigued and taking multiple naps during the day that do not seem to refresh her. She is normally a good sleeper at night and recently has begun to have trouble with multiple awakenings. The child has also complained multiple times of frequent headaches throughout the week. She has also been seen to exhibit some confusion while playing…

The aims of this experiment were to investigate the effect of milk solid content and the varying temperatures of heat pretreatment on yoghurt quality to determine the difference in pH and titratable acidity of fermented milk. In order to carry out this experiment and gain accurate results three variations were tested: yoghurt produced with whole milk pasteurised at 72 °C for 15 seconds, 85 °C for 15 minutes and then whole milk with added 5 % milk solids also heated at 85 °C for 15 minutes, after…

Advantages of MRI: By choosing the appropriate pulse sequence and pulse sequence parameters, MRI has the ability of producing images by different contrast mechanisms giving it tremendous flexibility. Disadvantages of MRI: INFLAMMATORY PROCESS OF THE LUMBAR SPINE Spondylodiscitis: Introduction: Spondylodiscitis is a rare primary infection of the intervertebral disc with secondary infections of the vertebrae. It can lead to osteomyelitis of the spinal column. Predisposing factors include age,…

The University of Chicago's Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics Ph.D. Program is an exceptional and prestigious program that will provide me the opportunity to broaden my skills and intellect within biochemical research fields. This top-ranked program is an ideal fit for me as it contains the biological chemistry and biophysical that I aspire to focus on during my graduate studies. I am greatly interested in biochemical pathway elucidation and structure-based drug design by understanding the…
