1.)The Merced Hospital Staff believed Lia suffered from Epilepsy. They believed it translated into Qaug dab peg. What was misunderstood is that quag dab peg were not really perceived as the same thing in Hmong culture as Epilepsy is in western medicine. In the Hmong culture‚ QDP is believed to be caused by a bad spirit called a dab. It is believed that dabs are responsible for stealing souls and making its victims sick. Epilepsy is recognized by western medicine as a serious neurological condition

Double-J (DJ) stenting is the commonest procedure performed in urology. Patients with stent‚ develop stent infections and stent-related symptoms. Use of antibiotics in patients with DJ stent is rampant. No uniform data is there to prove advantage of antibiotic prophylaxis. Colonial way of life of microorganisms‚ complex microbial assemblages are responsible for formation of biofilm. Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria produces biofilm. Biofilm is an important virulence factor and is main

1. Your Herbarium collection should consist of: • At least 8 weed mounted specimens‚ each specimen with a complete label. A standard artists Sketch Book approximately 37 x 27 cm (or A3) has suitable pages on which to mount specimens. Mounting of specimens may be done with good quality tape (archival 3M)‚ water-soluble glue such as PVA wood glue or sewing using dental tape. • Your specimens should include: 8 specimens (min.) of declared weeds. • All material should be ideally in a reproductive

------------------------------------------------- Introduction Cystic fibrosis (also called CF or mucoviscidosis) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs‚ and also the pancreas‚ liver‚ and intestine. It is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium‚ leading to thick‚ viscous secretions. The name refers to the characteristic scarring (fibrosis) and cyst formation within the pancreas that was first recognized in the

Lab Report Part II Purpose: To be familiarized with the science and techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences. Background Information: The process begins with preparing a sample. Successful identification starts with using a sample that is considered to be good. The first step is to pick up a single colony and drop it into a microcentrifuge tube. A buffer is used to dissolve the cell wall in order to extract bacterial DNA. This step may take several hours
