After completion of study , results of 70 patients with bronchiectasis have been analysed. Clinical data for all patients was reviewed and following observations and results were documented. Descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation[SD] and percentage[%] were used to express the data. 1. GENDER DISTRIBUTION : TABLE-1 DISTRIBUTION OF STUDY GROUP BY GENDER GENDER NUMBER OF PATIENTS PERCENTAGE Males 42 60% Females 28 40% The total number of patients involved in the study were 70. Out of which 42[60%] were males and remaining 28[40%] were females. Male to female ratio was 1.5:1. GRAPH 1 DISTRIBUTION OF STUDY GROUP BY GENDER 2. AGE DISTRIBUTION …show more content…

Methods Unknown microbial #398 went through several of tests in order to identify its characteristics when isolated from a urine sample of Doris, a 64- year old patient with a kidney infection. To identify unknown #398, must prepare a working and a reserve stock by the inoculation from a broth culture and by quadrant streaking method on a PEM and EMP plates. The following test procedures were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours for observation and identification for unknown #398. The identification of unknown #398 followed test procedures from Brown1.

The purpose of this lab report is to employ a myriad of skills, tools and, methods learned throughout this semester to perform the appropriate tests for the identification of the assigned unknown bacteria. Add more background information here!!! The most important tools and techniques used during this identification include aseptic technique, microscopic examination and, the use of selective and differential media. Aseptic technique is an important tool for microbiologists. It is imperative that aseptic technique is maintained throughout the length of any test to avoid any cross-contamination that may lead to inaccurate results.

In this experiment, we cultivated an unknown specimen containing two microorganisms. The purpose of this experiment was to use a variety of biochemical test previously learned in the lab to identify the unknown bacteria. The identification of unknown bacteria is a major part of microbiology. Microbiologist observe samples such as blood and sputum in the laboratory for the presence of microorganisms. Identifying unknown bacteria is extremely important in clinical settings because it helps physicians find treatment for infections.

Because they also encourage mucous secretions, macrophage activity on pneumococci is decreased while bacterial adhesion to the epithelium is increased. Pneumonia is a condition that aggravates the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Cyanosis occurs as a result of the decrease in gas exchange through the inflamed alveolar membrane and subsequent decline in hemoglobin saturation. One of the most common complications of the flu is a bacterial infection.

Introduction: Microbiology is the study of the microbial world, which is composed of microorganisms that are too tiny to be seen with a naked eye. This project demonstrates the significance of correctly identifying unknown organisms with methods and techniques acquired in the laboratory as they can make or break one's ability to accurately isolate and identify various species. Studying microbes enables oneself to have an insight on not just their structure or how they function, but how they have an impact on organisms and their environment around them as they can be found nearly anywhere. The importance of the process of identifying unknown bacteria vary from determining the causative agent of a disease, to testing if a specific food or fluid is safe to consume, and simply knowing what is present

Aseptic technique was initiated at the beginning of this experiment by cleaning the work surface with disinfected wipes. Personal protectives equipment was also worn. The material utilized in this experiment was: S. epidermidis culture broth, sterile cotton swab, streak plate, forceps in 70% alcohol, a lit tea light, and the three antibiotic disks (novobiocin, gentamicin, penicillin). The first step, I divided a plate into three quadrants and labelled them with the different antibiotic names. Using the lit tea light, like a bursen burner, I flamed the mouth of the S. epidermidis culture.

Jasmine Nguyen 37852068 Child Health Psychology May 23, 2016 Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease of the secretory glands that affects the person’s ability to breathe over time as well as causing persistent lung infections. The source of cystic fibrosis is a defective gene that affects the secretory glands and causes them to create mucus that is thick and sticky which eventually builds up in organs such as the lungs, pancreas, liver, sinuses, sex organs, and intestines. When mucus enters the lungs of those with cystic fibrosis, the mucus clogs the airways of the lung and leads to bacteria getting trapped which eventually results in the person getting infections of the lung, extensive lung damage, and respiratory failure. Mucus

It stands to reason that there were most likely more children in those hospitals who had asthma or other chronic respiratory diseases requiring spirometry evaluation but had not presented for the procedure. This highlights the fact that children may not be routinely referred on a regular basis for spirometry, as well as the likelihood that the need for spirometry in children is not well

It Stimulates respiration and the alveolar Pco2 in women during luteal phase of menstrual cycle.8,9 It is to be recognized that women for an unknown reasons becoming more affected with lung diseases like asthma, obstructive pulmonary disease and fibrosis.10 Based on Lung Function Tests pulmonary diseases are categories into two types -: 1. Obstructive diseases Diseases of lungs, which mainly produce airway obstruction, are grouped as obstructive airway diseases. It is an impairment of ventilation characterized by diffuse narrowing of bronchial tubes causing obstruction to air flow. It has been seen that forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) is decreased in persons suffering from diffuse obstructive disorders that deteriorate their pulmonary function tests. Bronchial asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis are important disorders came under this group 2.
