study one 1. Principle of APTT: Platelet poor plasma (PPP) is incubated at 37 degrees Celsius then phospholipid (cephalin) and a contact activator (e.g.: Kaolin, ellagic acid) are added followed by calcium (all pre-warmed to 37 degrees Celsius). Addition of calcium initiates clotting and timing begins. The APTT measures the time required to regenerate thrombin and fibrin polymers via the intrinsic and common pathways. Reagents:  Platelet poor plasma (PPP)  Surface activator: example; Kaolin ,…

Electrolyte and Plasma Responses After Ingestion of Pickle Juice in Hydrated Females Adanna Cheek Radford University  Introduction Every physically active person knows how it feels to be in the middle of a sporting event or workout and suddenly experience a muscle cramp. These cramps are inhibiting and painful, as well as cause a decrease in performance. Exercise-associated muscle cramps, or EAMC, are defined as skeletal muscle cramps that occur during or directly after exercise (Miller et al.…

subject received placebo, and each cohort start their assigned dose after the confirmation of the safety data from the previous cohort. The tolerability was evaluated based on the adverse events and clinical assessments, while efficacy endpoints include plasma DPP-4 inhibition and active glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) concentrations, which were collected from blood and urine of the subjects over 72 hours after…

Type and crossmatch take how long? What three phases are performed? 9. Type A has _____ antigens on RBC and ________ antibodies in plasma 10. Type B has…

method was described to identify and quantify pregabalin in human plasma. Silylation and acylation reaction were tried for derivatization of pregabalin before GC-MS analysis. Derivatization was achived using N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA). Identification and quantification of a new derivative were performed in selected ion monitoring mode using electron impact ionization. Pregabalin was extracted from plasma by protein precipitation with acetonitrile. The…

Kodiak aimed his plasma repeater at the attacker, squeezed the trigger, and fired. Everything seemed to move in slow-motion. The bolt of super-heated plasma discharged from the firearm and arced toward the assailant’s head, throwing sparks, and making the walls glow a brilliant purple-white. As the bolt neared the attacker’s face, heat induced blisters formed on his skin and then erupted fluids, which evaporated instantly. As the plasma closed in a foot from the attacker’s face, his skin, eyes,…

Blood is red because of red blood cells that float in the liquid part of blood (plasma), which is what makes blood a connective tissue. Red blood cells carry oxygen where it is needed and plasma delivers needed nutrients to the cells and removes any unneeded nutrients/waste. The other cells in blood, called white blood cells destroy germs that are trying to get into the blood stream before…

aureus and E coli, is by Hydrogen Peroxide Plasma Sterilization or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP®) Sterilization. The hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization works by first filling the hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilizer with the objects to be sterilized. The basic hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization cycle consists of four stages (vacuum generation, H2O2 injection, diffusion, and plasma discharge) and takes approximately 1 to 3 hours. Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization inactivates…

Guillain-Barré Syndrome, or GBS, is a serious disorder of the nervous system. It occurs when a person’s immune system is not working correctly and attacks the peripheral nervou system. The exact cause unknown, usually occurs after a person has been sick with a virus, such as Zika, the influenza, or Hepatitis. While GBS can affect anyone, males and young adults are at the greatest risk. Symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome vary from person to person, but often, it starts off with tingling in…

The supplementation with 1 g/day of DHA+EPA in these patients increased levels of these fatty acids in the heart tissue, erythrocytes, plasma and buccal cells by 110%, 101%, 139% and 73% respectively (Harris et al., 2004). The correlation of n-3 PUFA levels between cardiac tissue and RBC concentration was high (r = 0.82; P that refers to the levels of EPA+DHA on erythrocytes (Harris et…
