  1. Objective : The objective of the stool culture test was to isolate and identify pathogenic bacteria in a patient's fecal sample, particularly those causing gastrointestinal infections. 2. Principle: The test was based on the cultivation of stool specimens on selective and differential media to promote the growth of enteric pathogens while inhibiting normal flora. Biochemical and serological methods were then used to identify specific organisms. 3. Materials: • Fresh stool sample • Sterile stool collection container • Inoculating loop • Culture media: MacConkey agar, XLD agar, SS agar, Selenite F broth • Incubator (35–37°C) • Biochemical test kits (TSI, SIM, Citrate, Urease, etc.) • Gram staining reagents • PPE (gloves, mask, lab coat) READ ALSO: Bleeding Time (BT) Test Urine Test General Macroscopic chemical 4. Procedure (Microbiological): 1. The stool sample was collected in a sterile container and transported promptly to the lab. 2. Using an inoculating loop, a p...

Hematocrit (Hct) Test , Packed Cell Volume

-
Image
1. Objective The objective of the test was to determine the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) in a given volume of blood, which helped assess anemia, polycythemia, and hydration status. 2. Principle The principle of the hematocrit test was based on the separation of blood components by centrifugation. When anticoagulated blood was centrifuged, red blood cells settled at the bottom, plasma remained at the top, and a thin buffy coat of white blood cells and platelets appeared in between. The packed cell volume (PCV) was measured as a percentage of the total blood volume. 3. Materials • Capillary tubes (heparinized or plain) • Anticoagulated blood (EDTA) • Microhematocrit centrifuge • Clay sealant • Ruler or hematocrit reader • Gloves • Disinfectant • Lancet (if using finger prick) 4. Procedure (Microscopic Method) 1. Capillary tubes were filled up to 75% with well-mixed anticoagulated blood. 2. One end of each tube was sealed with clay. 3. The tubes were placed in the micr...

How exactly does the Sun provide us with Vitamin D

-
Image
It is a myth that sunlight provides us vitamin D or vitamin D is present in sunlight. The fact is vitamin D is synthesized in plants, animals and humans in presence of sunlight. There are two types of vitamin D - vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) present in plants including ergot and mushrooms and vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) in animals. Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) are synthesised in presence of ultraviolet light (UV) of sunlight as given below. In plants, the ergo-calciferol (vitamin D2) is derived from UV irradiation of ergosterol (a kind of sterol present in plants). In animals and humans, when skin is exposed to sunlight, chole-calciferol (vitamin D3) is produced in skin by UV irradiation of 7-dehydro-cholesterol (a kind of cholesterol present in animals and humans). Sunlight triggers the first of three chemical reactions that converts an inactive compound in the skin into active vitamin D. Ultraviolet B rays from the sun convert a natural vit...
