Sodium citrate

Looking at her medication list, her medical history may be rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, GERD, hypertension, anemia, hypothyroid, and a current infection. Why should you query her on the Bactrim, and would you consider it a routine home medication? Explain your answer. I would question the need for her to be on TMP/SMZ since she has no current infection that she is aware of. Although, she may be on this medication to regulate and prevent endocarditis since she has a history of…

Discussion: Each test is a pertinent contribution to drawing an educated conclusion. After performing the gram staining and observing which unknown culture was gram positive, a catalase test was performed. The catalase test allows lab workers to differentiate Staphylococci and Streptococci genus. The test was performed only on the gram-positive culture. Bacteria that respire by the use of oxygen, otherwise known as aerobic respiration, produce enzyme or “catalase”. This protects the bacteria…

The difference in the amount of gas produced when changing the surface area of the Alka Seltzer pill. Research question: How does the surface area of the Alka Seltzer pills affect the amount of gas produced as measured by ml in the reaction? Variables INDEPENDENT: The independent variable is the pill's surface area to volume ratio. The pills will be split in half and quarters and ground into pebbles and powder. This variable will be changed 5 times during the experiment. DEPENDENT: The…

significant change to the platelet count that has been established to be 10 µM. Such was confirmed by the flow cytometry that exhibited the highest increment in larger platelets, with increase ranging between 10 and 20 µM of ADP. However, 20 µM could not be used because it would cause excessive aggregation. Platelets contained in population 1 (P1) area are all of the same size as that of the resting platelets and they are assumed not to be activated. Whereas, the platelets in population 2 (P2)…

feeding pattern, season, lactation period, age of animal, environment, etc.. Total solids in a milk is the Sum of milk fat and solid-not-fat (TS= fat + SNF) Milk also contains several minor constituents like salts (Ca, PO4 , Cl, Na Mg, K, S, and citrate) and trace elements that are very important from physiological and nutritional point of view. Several enzymes, non-protein nitrogenous…

dissolved), high fructose corn syrup (a corn-derived sweetener), citric acid (an organic acid that is used as a flavoring agent), natural flavors (flavors that are not chemically-derived, but obtained from plants and animals), sodium citrate (sodium salt of citric acid) , sodium benzoate (preservative). Some of these, such as high fructose corn syrup, have become infamous for their negative health effects. Most of the ingredients have been linked to tooth decay, weight gain, diabetes, and other…

enumeration of Listeria. Peptones and yeast extract favor the excellent growth of Listeria. Glucose and starch are the energy sources for microbial development. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. Listeria hydrolyze esculin to glucose and esculetin, the latter compound forming a black complex with ferric ions supplied by ferric citrate (Biokar Diagnostics,…

A macromolecule is a molecule that contains any "large number" of atoms. There are four main different categories of macromolecules that make up our body: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. (1) Carbohydrates are sugars that store and transport energy. (2) Lipids also store energy and also are signalling molecules. (3) Proteins are linear chains of amino acids that help with the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. (4) Finally, Nucleotides make up…

Biochemical Unknown I. Introduction Cultural Characteristics or morphology and biochemical tests can be used to identify and classify microorganism. By culturing microorganism in nutrient broth, slants, and on nutrient agar plates, the cultural characteristics or morphology can be determined. In this lab, the test tube 2 was incubated in a nutrient broth. The pigmentation of the tube was yellow. The media for test tube 2 was turbid. There were a few sediment on the bottom of the broth. In…
