Clonality is homogeneity in the genotype of cells originating from a specific linage. One cell like the other, expressing the same set of genes to carryout functions that they have to do as a tissue; a causality of cells having a common ancestor or a progenitor cell which can be sourced at one point in time of development of an organism. This expansion of one cell into various clones occurs via a process called clonal expansion. The process is not different in cancer cells, there is one cell…

Table 2. Results for the antimicrobial susceptibility tests using the BSAC method Organism Microbial Resistance (mm) CFX CXM CTX CPM Control 310217 704476/2 706498 310258 CFX = Cefalexin. CXM = Cefuroxime. CTX = Cefotaxime. CPM = Cefepime. R = Resistant. S = Sensitive. Table 2 highlights resistance/sensitive of the dissimilar microorganisms to the different sorts of antibiotics. Data of table 2 demonstrates that E.coli strains produced sort of difference in resistance.…

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…

symptoms and can also be confused with other types of illnesses. (Leonard 15) It can cause intense symptoms and if they are not treated in the first stages, it can be rapidly fatal and incurable. (Leonard 15) " Patients with leukemia can experience thrombocytopenia (insufficient platelets), which causes internal bleeding and excessive bruising, anemia (insufficient erythrocytes), which results in weakness, pale complexion, and dizziness due to insufficient oxygen, and leukopenia (insufficient…

Acute Kidney Injury Case Study 1. AKI can be prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal. Prerenal is a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys and this leads to a decrease in glomerulus perfusion and filtration. During prerenal, Azotemia occurs and is the accumulation of nitrogenous waste in the blood. This results in a reduction in sodium excretion, increased sodium and water retention, and decreased urine output. Intrarenal has direct damage to the kidney. Nephrotoxins can cause structures to…

Accumulations in the bone marrow can cause pain and destroy bone. Major signs and symptoms include enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), a low number of red blood cells (anemia), easy bruising caused by a decrease in blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), lung disease, and bone abnormalities such as bone pain, fractures, and arthritis. As for protein, insects and other invertebrates are good sources. The dry weight of grasshoppers consists of roughly 50 to 75 percent protein,…

Comparative Analysis Animal testing is a very controversial topic; everyone has an opinion on it. Those who are against it, like the writer of the article, http://www.choosecrueltyfree.org.au/against-animal-testing/, usually bring up the discussion of the impacts and changes it has made in animal species or the ineffectiveness and distraught it has brought. “Animals metabolize drugs differently from humans: thus substances which are safe for dogs or rats may not be safe for people. For example,…

Subdural haematoma (SDH) is a type of focal brain injury which consists of contusions and bleeding (Sawauchi & Abe, 2008). Contusions and bleeding occur from small tears in blood vessels which are commonly caused by external forces such as vehicular accidents and falls (Craft et al., 2015). Subdural haematoma can be described as an extra cerebral blood collection which is located between the dura mater and the middle layer of the meninges (Iliescu, 2015). The development of haematoma does not…

include potent CYP450 inducers such as the drugs phenobarbital and rifampin (MPR, 2017) Significant effects on dental treatment include the awareness that this medication can induce dental pain as well as the tendency for increased bleeding and thrombocytopenia (Lexicomp dental reference library, 2016). Understanding how particular drugs affect oral health is imperative in the profession of dental hygiene. For patients that are taking Singulair, it is important to note increased bleeding could…

Blood, in all living things, is a very complex substance that scientists are learning new things about every day. Blood is characterized as a thick substance that has variations in color depending on how much oxygen is present in the blood. If a person’s blood contains ample amounts of oxygen it will be a bright red color and if it contains a low level of oxygen the color will be a dark red. Blood composition is forever varying due to the addition and removal of all sorts of substances in the…
