Laboratory Testing

Dr. Charles Richard Drew is often credited as the father of the blood bank for his pioneering work in developing and organizing the first large-scale blood bank during World War II. His research and efforts significantly improved the process of blood collection, storage, and transfusion.

Therapeutic cloning was first proposed by scientists John Gurdon and Ian Wilmut in the late 20th century. They suggested using cloning techniques to create stem cells for potential therapeutic purposes.

There are many DNA test centers located throughout India, in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bangalore. You can easily find a nearby center by searching online or contacting a reputable diagnostic laboratory that offers DNA testing services.

The one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis is an idea in an attempt to fix the one gene-one protein hypothesis (previously one gene-one enzyme hypothesis) after scientists realized that proteins can be made up by more than one polypeptide chain and that each polypeptide chain is specified by its own gene.

An example would be a protein like hemoglobin, the oxygen transporting protein of vertebrate blood cells. Hemoglobin is made up of two kinds of polypeptides. Because of the two polypeptide chains, hemoglobin is made up of two genes.

While this hypothesis was an improvement, it wasn't entirely true. While the example is true, the fact of the matter is, eukaryotes are much more complex than 1940s (around the time that Tatum and Beadle first came up with the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis ) technology allowed for scientists to understand. There is a step in RNA processing or post-transcriptional modification where parts of the transcribed gene is cut out (the cut out part is called the intron). Because of this mechanism, it is possible for a single gene to create more than 1 polypeptide.

Not all STDs will cause white blood cells in the urine. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis may do so; herpes and HPV probably will not. If your urine has no white blood cells, that doesn't mean you don't have an STD.

Factors that can increase white blood cell count include infections, inflammation, stress, smoking, and certain medication reactions. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider if you are concerned about elevated white blood cell count.

Culture and sensitivity testing involves obtaining a sample of the infectious organism and growing it in a controlled environment to identify the specific type of bacteria or fungus present. Once identified, the sample is then exposed to various antibiotics to determine which ones are effective at killing the specific type of organism. This helps in guiding treatment decisions by selecting the most appropriate antibiotic therapy for the infection.

A complete blood count (CBC) provides important information about different elements in the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps to assess overall health, diagnose conditions like anemia or infection, and monitor responses to treatment. CBC results are often a key component in determining a person's overall health status.

If a man runs out of sperm, he will no longer be able to ejaculate during sexual activity. This may result in infertility and make it difficult to conceive a child. However, it should be noted that sperm production is a continuous process, and the body can typically regenerate sperm over time.

The "white blood count" is the number of white blood cells (WBCs) per cubic millimeter. Normal counts range from 4000 to 10,500. (Normal red blood cell counts are in the range of three to five million per cubic millimeter, which is why blood is red.) The white blood cells are differentiated into 5 major subgroups or "lines," each of which has a different function. Mostly, they are involved in protecting the body from disease, dectroying invaders, cleaning up after injuries and such things. Hence, one can tell if a disease process is present by looking at the total WBC count and the proportions of the different WBC lines. One can also detect the presence of leukemia or other blood disorders from the WBC count. Doctors will watch the WBC count changes over time to gauge the efficacy of disease treatments.

The Earth emits thermal energy in the form of heat as a result of its core's high temperature. This thermal energy is primarily generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes and residual heat from Earth's formation.

Blood can generally be stored in the blood bank for up to 42 days. However, different components of blood, such as red blood cells and platelets, have varying storage durations. Red blood cells can be stored for up to 42 days, while platelets have a much shorter shelf life of around 5 days. Plasma can be frozen and stored for up to a year.

what is cpk. How is it increased by crestor?

what is crestor?

CPK, also known as CK and Creatine phosphokinase, is more formally called Creatine Kinase. This is a test performed to determine whether or not the individual has had a heart attack. Higher levels of CK indicate injured muscles or heart cells. Very heavy exercise, excessive drinking, injury to person via car accident or fall or etc., and drugs that lower cholesterol can all increase the level of CK in the blood.

CK levels can be increased by drugs such as Crestor because it damages muscle. Crestor is a cholesterol-lowering medication or statin.

Not sure if this is the right CoPath but here goes anyway.

CoPath is (or was) an anatomic pathology laboratory system. So, from the beginning then....

Anatomical pathology is the diagnosis of diseases/illnesses through the examination of body tissues/organs/cells either on a macro scale (i.e. looking at a body or whole organ like in an autopsy) or micro scale (i.e. tissue parts like a biopsy).

The folk who do this use an IT system to log the requests and sample IDs, record results, have results checked and then authorised and then store those records for the future.

CoPath is one such system. Created by Dynamic Healthcare Technologies Inc.who were subsequently taken over by Cerner Corporationin 2001 and renamed Cerner DHT Inc.

Note dht's website now is redirected to Cerner's website. (This take over also created two (2) CoPaths if you will. One is owned by Cerner and the other is owned by Sunquest Information Systems

The two most common blood types in the US are O positive and A positive.

Yes, a condition called congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) can result in a man being born without the ability to produce sperm. This condition is typically caused by abnormalities in the development of the male reproductive system. A man with CBAVD may still have functional testicles but is unable to transport sperm due to missing or blocked vas deferens.

Osteoclasts are bone cells responsible for breaking down and resorbing bone tissue, releasing calcium and minerals into the bloodstream. They play a crucial role in bone remodeling and maintenance.

The complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests. The complete blood count is the calculation of the cellular (formed elements) of blood. These calculations are generally determined by special machines that analyze the different components of blood in less than a minute.

A major portion of the complete blood count is the measure of the concentration of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in the blood.

A culture test can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to produce results, depending on the type of test being done and the specific organism being cultured. Some tests may provide preliminary results sooner, but final results may require a longer incubation period.

IgM is the class of antibody first secreted in response to a new antigen. It is produced during the initial immune response and helps to activate other components of the immune system.

pyuria, means that pus and abnormal levels of leukocytes are present in the urine; a postitive result when testing for a urinary tract infection (UTI).

If urea accumulated in the blood, then you would probably die, because urea is technically a diluted version of ammonia, which is highly toxic.
You would die because urea comes from the toxic nitrogenous waste in our body, and although less toxic, is still harmfull.

To calculate the number of new red blood cells that must be produced per second to replace the RBC population, you would need to consider the total number of red blood cells in the body and their lifespan. Given that an average adult has 5 liters of blood (which is equivalent to 5,000,000 microliters) and each microliter contains 5 million red blood cells, you would multiply these values to find the total number of red blood cells in the body. Then, you would divide this total by the 120-day lifespan of red blood cells to determine how many cells need to be produced each second.

Protein isn't normally found in urine, because so many people these days are on

Methamphetamine, a very strong drug used by individuals seeking an easy escape. If this drug is abused, the protein from the mitochondria in your cells don't diffuse through the cells into the stream of urine.
