Laboratory Testing

Planaria can regenerate within a couple of weeks. The exact time can vary depending on factors such as the size of the planaria, the extent of the injury, and the environmental conditions. Generally, smaller injuries will heal faster.

A phlebotomist is a healthcare professional who is trained to draw blood from patients for various purposes, such as medical testing, transfusions, or donations. They are responsible for ensuring patient comfort and safety during the blood collection process and for accurately labeling and storing blood samples.

It's impossible because A blood type could be AA or AO and AB is only AB so the children could be AA, AB,AO (which is Atype), or BO (B type) BUT NEVER OO (o type). For the child to be O type they should get one O from one parent and the other O from the other parent. In the case mentioned AB can give A or B NOT and NEVER O. This question is answered by an MD

A group of bobwhites is called a covey. It usually consists of a small number of birds, typically family members or related individuals. They use the safety of numbers to forage, roost, and protect themselves from predators.

No, parents with B negative and AB positive blood types cannot have a child with O negative blood type. The O blood type is inherited from both parents who must pass on the O allele to the child. Since neither parent in this case carries the O allele, they cannot have a child with O negative blood type.

Question doesn't make sense. You can be group B and rh + or group B and rh -. The B antigen and the D antigen (which causes you to be rh+ or lack of makes you rh-) are seperate things stuck to the surface of red blood cells.

Neurofibromatosis derives its name from the types of tumors it causes: neuro- refers to nerves, fibro- refers to fibrous tissue, and -matosis indicates a condition involving multiple tumors. This genetic disorder results in the growth of tumors on nerves and fibrous tissue throughout the body.

A phoropter is a device used in eye exams to determine the right prescription for correcting refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It contains various lenses that the optometrist can adjust to find the patient's optimal vision.

Toxoplasma is commonly known as Toxoplasma gondii. It is obligate intercellular parasite that can infect the widest range of hosts known to science. Ab is an abbreviation for "antibody" of which IgM is one. The full name for IgM is Immunoglobulin M. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_M

A renal and pelvic ultrasound is used to visualize the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures using sound waves. It can detect abnormalities such as kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and other issues affecting the urinary system. It is a non-invasive tool to assess the health of these organs.

People clone animals for various reasons, such as preserving endangered species, studying diseases and genetic disorders, and producing livestock with desirable traits. Cloning can also be used to create genetically identical animals for research purposes.

Elevated AST and ALT levels can indicate liver damage. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the cause, which could include conditions like fatty liver disease, alcohol abuse, or viral hepatitis. Further testing and evaluation may be needed to address any underlying issues.

A partially distended gallbladder means that the gallbladder is not completely full or swollen but is moderately inflated with bile or other fluids. This condition can be seen on imaging studies like ultrasound and may indicate an underlying gallbladder issue, such as inflammation or blockage of the bile ducts. Medical evaluation is usually needed to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Elevated AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels typically indicate liver damage or inflammation. Levels of 105 and 106 are moderately elevated and should be further evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause, such as liver disease, medication side effects, or alcohol consumption. Treatment will depend on the specific diagnosis.

If an Rh negative person is exposed to Rh positive blood, their immune system may produce antibodies against the Rh antigen. Upon subsequent exposure to Rh positive blood, these antibodies can attack and destroy the Rh positive red blood cells, leading to a condition called hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) in pregnant women or a transfusion reaction in non-pregnant individuals.

The meat of a slaughtered animal is typically obtained from butchers or slaughterhouses that follow specific guidelines and regulations for humane slaughter. The meat of a dead animal, on the other hand, may not have undergone proper slaughtering procedures and could pose health risks due to potential contamination or disease. It is important to purchase meat from reputable sources that follow ethical and sanitary practices.

The world record for the longest period a person has stayed awake is 11 days and 25 minutes, held by Randy Gardner in 1964. However, it is not recommended to stay awake for such extended periods as it can have severe health consequences.

No, insects do not have lungs, they have a system of small holes in their exoskeleton which allows air entry into a system of narrow tubes from which it can diffuse directly into their living tissues.

Neurotoxins are substances that can damage, disrupt, or destroy nerve tissue and function in the body. They can interfere with neurotransmitter production, alter ion channels, or cause other harmful effects on the nervous system, leading to symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe paralysis or death. Examples of neurotoxins include lead, mercury, botulinum toxin, and certain pesticides.

Yes - but both of the parents would have needed at least one O allele and one Rh negative allele.

If either parent was homozygous AA or OO (or homozygous Rh positive), then this would not be possible.

The alien autopsy video, released in 1995, was proven to be a hoax. The supposed alien dissected in the video was revealed to be a prop created by special effects artists. There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of alien autopsies.

The sensitivity numbers on a urine culture and sensitivity test indicate the effectiveness of different antibiotics in treating a specific bacteria found in the urine sample. It helps determine which antibiotic will be most effective in treating the infection. The higher the sensitivity number, the more effective the antibiotic is against that particular bacteria.

A fetus is generally not visible on ultrasound until about 5-6 weeks of pregnancy. At 3 weeks, the embryo is very small and not typically detectable on ultrasound.

Yes, it is possible for a B negative child to be born to parents who are type A positive and O positive. This is due to the inheritance of blood type alleles from both parents that can result in the child having a different blood type than either parent.
