You did a wonderful job on your PowerPoint presentation! I see that a serum H pylori test was done and came back positive for the patient. The test has a high specificity and sensitivity, and it is useful for detecting a newly infected patient. As providers, it will important to know that the serum H pylori test is not a good test for follow-up of treated patients because the results do not indicate a present infection with H pylori due to the fact that the antibody titer can remain elevated for a long time after H pylori is eradicated (Santacroce, 2014). A test that can be used to detect eradication after treatment is the H pylori fecal antigen test. H. pylori have multiple flagella, which allow them to move through the mucous layer
The primary problem is the patient is having severe dehydration due to excessively having loose liquidly stools for the past two days caused by C. Diff.
In Elie Wiesel’s novel, Night, the main character, Eliezer, openly questions why praise and faith should be offered to a God who does not deliver justice to his subjects when they are exposed to an insufferable evil. Specifically, on pages 66-68, Elizer, a Jewish teenager living in Nazi concentration camps, explains the scene of thousands of Holocaust prisoners praying to God, a god in which Eliezer denounces for not showing remorse towards his subjects. Wiesel supports theme of losing faith in the world and in God within this passage by using the literary techniques of metaphor, diction, and imagery. The tragedies that Eliezer witnesses during his time in Nazi concentration camps cause him lose his faith in a God whom he has worshiped his entire life. He deliberates why he ought to pray if death and suffering will continue to plague him and his fellow worshipers.
Previously we were assigned a critical thinking exercise that consisted of reviewing a PowerPoint over Appendix 14A. Appendix 14A covered different debt restructuring and modification of terms options for companies and how you would go about recording them. The most theoretically challenging aspect of this material for me had to deal with the problem I was assigned in class. I did not understand why there would be no interest expense recorded even though there was a gain. I would assume theoretically that since Barkley is still paying off the note an interest expense would have to be recorded, however, I learned otherwise. An interest expense is not recorded because the payable is only being reduced by an amount
In order to diagnose this patient with this bacterium, I would place an order for a blood culture. Blood cultures are indicated in patients with sepsis, severe skin and soft tissue infections, or unstable vital signs; example massive organ failure. Blood cultures
A) Based on the data we got some groups had coliforms in their FR water sample but others did not. The same thing occurred with the ML water sample. This was determined by letting the bacteria grow colonies on an EMB plate and these colonial growths indicated that there were coliforms present in the water.
Your health care provider may recommend this test if you have had diarrhea and have been taking antibiotic medicine for more than 5 days. The test may also be done if you have a weakened defense (immune) system and you develop diarrhea, even if you are not taking antibiotics.
Mouth: Teeth intact, no bleeding gums noted, oral mucosa pink and moist, and positive gag reflex noted.
Symptoms range from mild to severe infections. A patients will present with watery stools, dehydration, and mild to severe abdominal cramping, blood or pus in the stool, leukocytosis and even kidney failure. Detection of C-Diff is very easy for an experienced health care worker all you need is a good nose. C-Diff has a very familiar smell that one will remember. For laboratory testing, physicians will usually order a stool sample be taken. Stool can be tested for the presence of C-Diff toxins A and B. A microbiologist will run either an Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Polymerase Chain Reaction, or a Cell Cytotoxicity Assay. Each of these test look for C-Diff toxins in the human stool. Many hospitals will run the EIA and Cell Cytotoxicity Assay to collaborate positive
This project’s purpose as a whole was to receive an unknown bacteria and figure out what it is; One can figure this out by doing a series of tests. These tests include but are not limited to: gram stains, capsular stains, MacConkey agar plates, SIM, KIA, and UREA tubes, Catalase and Oxidase tests, Methyl Red and Voges-Proskauer test, and many, many more. Although that was just naming some of the tests one can do, what they are and how they’re done are further explained in the methods and reports section. Although there were many tests I was able to do, I was limited to an extent. I only had a few weeks to work on the project, and there were some unavailable tests I was unable to do.
Bacteriology Lab Eric Li Kieran Dulmage Ms. Hillier SBI 3U February 17, 2016 March 8, 2016 Purpose One: To attempt to culture bacteria from swabs taken from different areas of a school environment and to observe the growth of bacteria.
TC tests can cause false positive results because C. difficile may or may not be able to produce toxins that are responsible for symptoms of a CDI. This however takes a long time, usually 48 to 96 hours due to the intensive labor to separate the cultures. Environment must be perfect and an experienced scientists know how to perform the test. Since this test is complicated and must be done perfectly and must be done in experienced laboratories, this test is not available widely (CDC, 2012).The enzyme immunoassay and the tissue cytotoxin assay both test for toxins in stool specimens. These two tests must be tested before two hours of being collected or refrigerated in this time period because Clostridium difficile toxins degrade fast (Gould, 2010). EIA for short, is an inexpensive test. EIAs test for B toxins only or A and B toxins together. This test can give a result in a short amount of time and it is used in clinical environments but it is never recommended to be done as a stand-alone test. Tissue cytotoxin assay only tests for B toxins in the stool. This is a slow test that is usually never done in a clinical setting because it takes time and it is a difficult test to perform.The glutamate dehydrogenase is the antigen found for Clostridium difficile and there is a screening done to see if the antigen is present. This test should be positive if the antigen is present but this test actually detects both nontoxic and toxic strains of Clostridium difficile. This test is affordable and is is rapid. The EIA test and the glutamate dehydrogenase are administered as a two step test. GDH, for short, is done first and is followed by the EIA test. This test can have results ready in just 30 minutes. It is stated that this test may be difficult to interpret (Avila, 2016).Nucleic acid amplification test, NAAT for short, uses PCRs (Polymerase Chain Reaction). This test is able to extract DNA from the
Many people believe bullying is a part of growing up. Some believe every kid will experience bullying at one point or another in life. The time is not taken to think about how it might affect an individual in the future. Bullying shows to affect people’s mental and physical health overtime. When someone is bullied overtime it would have a larger impact on their later life. Bullying can deteriorate both an individual’s mental and physical health in a alarming way. The community should help to learn and provide information on identifying bullying and the affects of bullying. Bullying is extremely toxic to an individual, it may later negatively affect physical formation and function of the brain and how an individual may deal with stress. As a society this topic needs to be more discussed.
The court case resulted in the establishment of a set of legal criteria for determining whether a law violates the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Establishment Clause in the First Amendment states that the United States Congress cannot permit a law that establishes religion or forbids the free speech thereof. This set of legal criteria was later referred to as the “Lemon Test”. The Lemon Test consisted of three rules: “First, the statute must have a secular legislative purpose; second, its principal or primary effect must be one that neither advances nor inhibits religion; finally, the statute must not foster "an excessive government entanglement with religion” (Allison). In 1981, the National
A series of biochemical tests were conducted in order to determine the identity of an unknown gram negative bacterium. The unknown had the potential to be one of six different gram negative bacteria: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, or Salmonella typhirmurium. After using the T-streak method to isolate pure colonies and confirming the gram negative nature of the unknown bacterium the unknown was subjected to seven biochemical tests and the results compared to the results of the six known bacteria for the same tests. After performing the Triple Sugar Iron Agar Test, Sulfur Indole Motility Test, Methyl Red Test, Voges-Proskauer Test, Citrate Test, Urease Test, and Gelatin Test it was confirmed that identity of Unknown #15 was Salmonella typhirmurium.
Carbohydrates are the product that made up from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates are form by the combination of carbon dioxide and water molecules. The carbohydrates contain two specific functional group in it which is the hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups.A reducing sugar is a type of sugar with is an aldehyde group.This means that sugar can act as a reducing agent.The procces of reducing sugar is isomerisation,example of reducing sugar islactose,maltose,glucose and fructose.All monosaccharides are capable of reducing other chemicals such as copper (II) sulphate to copper oxide.Beside that disaccharides such as maltose and lactose are reducing sugar,however sucrose is non reducing
