CASE STUDY OF A PATIENT WITH BRONCHIECTASIS INTRODUCTION The respiratory system is divided into upper and lower respiratory system. The upper respiratory system refers to the nose‚ pharynx and associated structure while the lower respiratory system contains the larynx. Bronchiectasis is an uncommon type of chronic obstructive pulmonary lung disease. Bronchiectasis can be categorized as a chronic obstructive pulmonary lung disease manifested by airways that are inflamed and easily collapsible‚ resulting

Antimicrobial Activity of Cilantro on Staphylococcus Epidermis and Escherichia coli Abstract Antimicrobial effects of cilantro against the gram positive bacteria S. epidermis and the gram negative bacteria E. coli were looked at. We predicted that cilantro would act as an antibiotic against S. epidermis but not to E. coli because S. epidermis does not contain an outer membrane whereas E coli. does. We predicted that the semi-permeable outer membrane of E. coli would protect the bacteria from

If bacterial meningitis is suspected several tests sound be done before beginning treatment. A blood sample should be taken and a complete blood count (CBC) should be performed and a lumbar puncture should also be performed as soon as possible. Laboratory findings The white blood cell count (WBC) should be 5‚000-10‚000 /mm3. Critical values associated WBC are 30‚000 /mm3. Variables that may increase white blood cell count include: Physical activity and stress‚ final months of pregnancy and/or labor
