After that, dissolve the sample in 2 mL of deionized water and shake the test tube for 1 to 1 ½ minutes to dissolve the solid. Place another dry test tube in a 50mL beaker and weigh it. Find a bottle of barium iodide and record the name and molar mass. Then, weight out either anhydrous barium iodide or barium iodide dehydrate into this test tube and dissolve is it in 2 mL of deionized water. Pour the contents of one of the test tubes into the other and a reaction should occur and you should see a white precipitate of barium sulfate form.
Acute inflammation is a rapid response to an injurious agent that serves to deliver mediators of host defense—leukocytes and plasma proteins—to the site of injury. Acute inflammation has three major components: alterations in vascular caliber that lead to an increase in blood flow; structural changes in the microvasculature that permit plasma proteins and leukocytes to leave the circulation; and emigration of the leukocytes from the microcirculation, their accumulation in the focus of injury, and their activation to eliminate the offending

Nerve roots can be compressed by aherniated disc, spinal stenosis, and bone spurs. When the nerve is compressed it becomes inflamed. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling or weakness along the course of the nerve. This
For every 20 drops of solution you will add 0.1g of zinc to the new test tube. Repeat steps 3 and four until the solution is clear. If there ever exists too little of the solution to get enough drops, add up to 1mL of distilled water to the solution. 4. Once the solution is clear, retrieve at least ten drops of the solution and place them in a new test tube.
EBT1 TASK 3 Research Integration and Outcome Evaluation Deborah Tyrrell-Turner Western Governors University A1. Procedure Studies have shown that the procedure of shaving a surgical site prior to surgery increases the likelihood of postoperative surgical site infections. Studies have indicated that shaving the surgical site before surgery can cause a change in or loss of protective skin flora at the incision line, as well as micro trauma of the area increasing the colonization of bacteria, (Celik & Kara, 2007). The Institute for Healthcare Improvements, (IHI) has recommended the avoidance of shaving surgical sited unless it is absolutely necessary for the procedure. They recommend using clippers to remove hair before surgery, outside of the operating room, (IHI, 2013).
Diagnosis is often made after a series of abdominal x-rays, an upper gastrointestinal series, or a colonoscopy. Endoscopy tests may include flexible sigmoidoscopy which allows the doctor to directly examine the colon with a lighted tube that is inserted through the anus. The mucosal layer of intestine that absorbs nutrition contains immune cells that act like defenders of the body. When this mucosal layer breaks down, harmful bacteria enter deep layers of the intestine. This results in inflammation causing swelling, increased blood flow, and ulcerations.
BIOS255 BIOS 255 WEEK 5 Lab 5 - Lymphatic System & Disease Resistance 1. Describe lymphatic system functions. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood, and to filter fluid of pathogens, damaged cells, cellular, and cancerous cells to help protect against invasion. 2. Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct, thoracic (left lymphatic) duct, right and left subclavian veins, and cisterna chyli.
* Assess patient’s pain level and administers appropriate pain relief measures. * Maintains patient’s safety(airway, circulation, prevention of injury) * Administer medication, fluid and blood component therapy, if prescribed. * Assess patient’s readiness for transfer to in hospital unit or for discharge home based on institutional policy. 2. Identify priority nursing care to prevent potential complications following this type of surgery.
pylori as well as the inflammation and ulcers that it causes. For endoscopy, the doctor inserts a flexible viewing tube (endoscope) through the mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach and duodenum. During endoscopy, small tissue samples (biopsies) from the stomach lining can be removed. A biopsy specimen is placed on a special slide containing urea (for example, CLO test slides). If the urea is broken down by H. pylori in the biopsy, there is a change in color around the biopsy on the slide.
Treatment has two goals: to treat acute flare ups and to maintain remission (Ruthruff, 2007). Two common antibiotics used to treat Crohn’s Disease is Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole (Ruthruff, 2007). The use of antibiotics can cause stomach upset or diarrhea with long time use. A barium enema, colonoscopy, CT scan, endoscopy, MRI, sigmoidoscopy, enteroscopy, upper GI series, blood test or stool culture can diagnose Crohn’s Disease. As with any procedure there are risks.
