Case Study Horse Red Blood Smear

EH is a 68-year-old male who comes into the clinic complaining of a fever with a temperature of 103 °F. He has had a cough for the last three days that is producing some thick green brown mucous. The MD feels he most likely has bacterial pneumonia. He also has a history of having rheumatoid arthritis, and being immune compromised as he is on an immunosuppressant methotrexate. He has noted that over the last year he has lost weight unintentionally and feels he is underweight.

2. If you were the doctors on the scene, what diagnosis would you give this patient? (You may use the internet to help diagnose the patient.)

What impact does the illness have on the blood’s ability to clot? Include the role of vitamin K and the specific clotting proteins affected. Also discuss platelet production. Describe the test that is typically run to test the blood’s clotting ability.

1. Which of the following anemias is caused by a failure of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells and may be congenital or acquired?

The WBC and platelets are high because the Pt.’s body is trying to fight an infection.

The goal of this experiment is to determine the blood types of the samples given and to learn what interactions occurred to each blood type. Determining an individual’s blood type and how it reacts with Anti A, Anti-B, and Anti Rh serums played a crucial part in this experiment. The researcher concluded that agglutination (clumping) occurred in some of the blood samples. For example, Mr. Smith’s blood reacted with Anti-A and Anti-Rh serums (antibodies) allowing the researcher to determine the blood type is A. Mr. Jones’s blood reacted with Anti-B serum but it did not react to Anti-A or Anti Rh allowing the researcher to believe that the blood type is B. Mr. Green’s blood reacted with all serums and caused a reaction to occur resulting the blood type to be AB positive. Mr. Green’s blood also had a positive marker for Rh factor. However, Ms. Brown’s blood had no reaction at all and the researcher determined if no reaction occurred then the sample had no antigens but proved to have some antibodies, resulting in blood type to be O. The purpose of this experiment is to determine whose blood has type A, B, AB, or O.

1. A 54-year-old patient is seen by the physician in the outpatient clinic setting for CLL that is currently in remission. The patient's WBC counts, particularly lymphocytes remain within normal limits

Mr. .J. is a 30 year old Caucasian male presented to the Emergency Department with symptoms of myalgia, fever, rash, swollen glands, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. Mr. J. reported fever and sore throat started about a week ago and the rash presented today. Mr. J. stated “I thought I had the flu but I am not feeling any better and now I have a rash, that’s why I decided to come to the E.D.”. (Health and Human Services panel, 2013)

In this paper I will answer some questions about blood and related issues. Some of the questions I will answer are: what is the significance of a lower than normal haematocrit? what is erythropoiesis?why would the level of leukocytes be higher in an individual who has been infected with a parasitic disease. In regions where malaria is endemic, some people build up immune resistance to the malaria pathogen. Which WBCs are responsible for the immune response against pathogens? How do they function?

belonging and family, whereas in the outside world they were seen as enemies. As a result, it becomes apparent that minorities from different backgrounds face similar difficulties when trying to assimilate into the American culture. It is through these difficulties that they begin to develop feelings of loneliness, and what can potentially motivate them to go down a path of delinquency, as it is a lot easier than having to face the challenges of trying to adapt to a different culture.

Pathophysiologically analysing the signs and symptoms of Mr Smith aged 63 is the first step in substantiating differential diagnosis. Mr Smith’s temperature is within the normal ranges of 37 degrees Celsius, where a temperature of 38 would be considered high. If his temperature had been elevated, it

Mr. A is exhibiting signs and symptoms of atrophy which is a decrease in cell workload. Mr. A muscle cell workload will decline as well as o2 and protein synthesis. Mr. A is experiencing several different forms of atrophy, with the first being disuse, which is a reduction in skeletal use. Secondly Mr. A is also exhibiting inadequate nutrition due to his diet of only biscuit and grits. Lastly, due to the compound fraction which means there is a break in the skin, there would be poor circulation. Mr. A is experiencing gas gangrene due to the compound fracture, and exposure to outside elements for the past few weeks he has been in the bed. There are 3 different types of gangrene.

Pathological processes help distinguish medical conditions through the use of a variety methods to assist in diagnosis and treatment of patients. Mr Johns, a 60 year old male has exhibited to his doctor a number of symptoms that usually coincide and are distinctive with issues relating to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of the body. This case-based assignment will in order to assist in the treatment of Mr Johns, assist in diagnosing his conditions by; investigating the presenting features and its pathophysiology, analyse the results and importance of vital signs, physical inspection and blood tests, construct a differential diagnosis signifying likely conditions the patient may be experiencing , and finally providing a justification for further diagnostic tests.

interpret the results of diagnostic and laboratory examinations undergone by our client and identify the corresponding nursing considerations;

Given that blood spatter analysis is an emergent field, with rapidly occurring developments have significant probative implications for the court system, this project will seek to examine the multi-faceted elements of blood spatter analysis to provide an overview of the field’s different dimensions. Focusing on technical developments, analytical interpretation and court relevance, the project will propose that blood spatter’s analysis as a mainstream element of the CSI toolkit results from the combination of physical sciences and analytical rigor which lies at its core. Beginning with questions of technical and physical science, the project will
