WIDAL TEST: Aim: to detect presence of salmonella antibodies in patient’s blood serum, the causative agent of typhoid fever. Material: febrile antigen kit, disposable stirrers, Pasteur pipette, a tile, test tube, centrifuges. Principle: The Widal test is a serological technique which test for the presence of salmonella antibodies in a patient plasma, this test is done to check the bacteria salmonella Typhi which courses typhoid. When investigating typhoid, the patient’s serum is tested for O and H antibodies (agglutinations) against the following antigen suspension:- S-Typhi O antigen suspension S-Typhi H antigen suspension Anti-febrile antigens are suitable for both the rapid slide and tube agglutination tests against human sera for the detection of this agglutination. Anti-stained antigens suspensions are killed, bacteria stained antigens are specific to the flagella H antigens. The Widaltest kit contains attenuated typhoid antigens which react specifically with the body’s anti...

SERUM PREGNANCY TEST: Aim: for the invitro qualitative detection of human chronic Gonadotropin (HCG) in serum. Materials; Blood serum, specimen container, HCG test strip, timer. Principle: The pregnancy test (PT) strip is embedded with specific anti-bodies to detect HCG hormone in the urine or blood serum with high degree of sensitivity. The labeled anti-bodies dye conjugate in the strip binds to HCG (antigens) in the urine or serum forming an antigen-antibody complex, thereby generating a visible red-colored line, on the test region of the strip .The test strip contains combination of goat/rabbit polyclonal antibodies and mouse monoclonal antibodies. Procedure: the test strip was removed from the scaled pouch with arrows pointing towards the serum specimen. The strip was Immerse vertically in the serum specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip when immersing the strip. The strip was placed on a non-absorbent flat surface; the timer w...

GLUCOSE TEST USING GLUCO METER MACHINE Aim:- to detect the concentration of glucose in the blood of man this is the concentration of glucose in the blood, normally expressed in mille moles per liter. Blood sugar estimation is an important investigation in a variety of diseases, most notably in diabetes mellitus. Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells and blood lipids. There are two (2) different types of glucose test FIGURE6: Glucumetermachine. A.Fasting Blood Sugar (F,B, S). This measures blood glucose after you have not eaten for at least 8 hours, it often the first test done to check for pre-diabetes and diabetes. .Random Blood Sugar (RBS): This measures blood glucose regardless of when you ate. Several random measurements may be taken throughout the day. Random testing is useful because glucose levels in healthy people do not vary widely throughout the day. Normal value range: may vary between the two types of test. The normal value range for fasting ...

HY VITAMINS AND So many of us wish we had more energy, better abs, and sharper focus. Likewise, we often find ourselves wishing that we had better skin or hair. We wish that we could sleep better at night, and wish that it was a little bit easier to wake up (those last two points are related, by the way!). This has led to the emergence of numerous industries, all built around helping us to feel, look, and perform better. We spend huge amounts of cash on skincare products, on sleep supplements, and on gym memberships. We try all kinds of crazy things, whether that’s lying on a bed of gentle spikes to improve sleep (yes, that’s a real thing!), wearing blue-blocking shades all day, or wearing energy- healing crystals (which are about as effective as wishing really hard!). We try these things because we’re looking for answers, and we’re desperate. We’re willing to try anything. And we hope, each time, that we’re about to stumble upon the answer...

5 ways to improve your brain health TOPICS:BrainExerciseNeuroscienceNutrition SEPTEMBER 27, 2022  Early studies of the brain showed that there wasn't much you could do as an adult to improve brain health and cognitive function. Most believed that brain development took place in early childhood and that after a certain age you just worked with what you had. Today we know that this is not true. While the brain is most plastic and mature for learning and growing in the early years, the brain never stops working to create new pathways, connections, and new brain cells. Five ways you can start improving your brain health today 1. Feed your brain the right food Eating a healthy, balanced diet is great for a healthy body and brain, but there are some specific foods that pack an extra punch in the big brain department. Oily fish like salmon, herring, and sardines are wonderful. Blueberries, nuts and seeds, and green leafy vegetables are also good. Coffee is a good neuroprotectant...

Lumina Bookstore introduction The love chapter of Scripture is not really the best choice of a reading at any and all weddings. What we have here are some radical principles of conduct that pertain to the Christian. The passage is not talking about love; it is talking about Christian love. Of course, any wedding where there is a commitment to love in the name of Christ, where there is love to Christ, at such a wedding the reading of this chapter of Scripture is definitely appropriate. The context of this chapter is concerned with the place of extraordinary gifts at the Corinthian church. With all the “goings” on, the church is called to seek the better gifts (12:31a). That is, they are to pursue the more useful gifts, even if these are less attractive. They should not over exaggerate the place of the more attractive but less useful gifts (love is in the background already versus me, myself, and I in the limelight or “having it my way”). As he is about to explain...
