Down Syndrome
The blood proteins A and B are antigens found on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type. Individuals with blood type A have A antigens, while individuals with blood type B have B antigens. Blood type AB individuals have both A and B antigens.
To determine the karyotype of a 28-year-old male, one would typically expect to see 46 chromosomes, including one pair of sex chromosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes are typically represented as XY, indicating the presence of one X and one Y chromosome. Therefore, if no abnormalities are present, the karyotype would be 46,XY. However, if there are any known issues or abnormalities, further genetic testing would be needed to provide a specific karyotype.
Some common equipment used in a physical examination includes a stethoscope for listening to heart and lungs, a blood pressure cuff for measuring blood pressure, an otoscope for examining the ears, an ophthalmoscope for examining the eyes, a reflex hammer for testing reflexes, and a thermometer for measuring temperature.
The first thing geneticists do in order to analyze a human karyotype is to obtain a sample of cells, usually through a blood test. They will then culture the cells in the lab, stop the cells in metaphase of mitosis, stain the chromosomes, and take a microphotograph to examine the chromosomes under a microscope.
Analysis of a karyotype determine how many chromosomes are in blood cells. It also determines if there are any missing or extra chromosomal material that are indicators of genetic disorders such as downs syndrome.
Babesiosis can be diagnosed by examining a blood sample microscopically and detecting the presence of Babesia microti within the blood cells
Diagnosis of relapsing fever is relatively easy, because the causative bacteria can be found by examining a sample of blood under the microscope.
With the person's permission, substance use can also be detected by examining an individual's blood, urine, or hair in a laboratory. Drug testing is limited by sensitivity, specificity, and the time elapsed
You must be in genetics lab... Red blood cells do not have a nucleus therefore a karyotype cannot be assembled. The chromosomal preparations cannot be performed on the red blood cells. Thus, the reason they use white blood cells.
Bacteremia is diagnosed by culturing the blood for bacteria
Since many individuals with WM have no symptoms, the initial diagnosis may result from blood tests that are performed for some other purpose.
Three questions that an investigator should answer when examining an apparent dried blood stain are: Is it blood? Is it human or animal blood? What is the blood type (A, B, AB, O)?
Whose blood is it? How did the blood get there? Is the blood evidence of a crime?
by a blood test
Blood Test
You get diagnosed with a blood test, and a personalized protocol is placed as a perscription.
Sickle cell is diagnosed by a simple blood test called hemoglobin electrophoresis. This analyzes the blood and points out abnormal cells.
