Which of the following is a current title for clinical laboratory professionals with a 4 year degree?
Shigella and Salmonella are not found as normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract.
Which of the following are not considered normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract:
A person classified as an ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) has a polymorphism that enhances the catabolic activity of the enzyme. This means that a UM would need more of the drug to achieve a 'normal' level since he/she is rapidly metabolizing the drug.
Chem
In therapeutic drug monitoring, a person who is classified as an ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) would need __________ of a drug metabolized by that enzyme.
An antithetical relationship exists between the antigens M and N. Antithetical relationships occur in situations where for a given locus, only one of two genes may be inherited, the alleles are termed antithetical alleles.
In immunohematology, an antithetical relationship exists between M antigen and which of these antigens?
Beer's law is based on the fact that absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of a solution. Therefore, stray light can alter the absorbance results in this type of assay.
Deviations from Beer's Law are caused by:
Microbiology
Matching: The detection of a distinct odor is often helpful in the presumptive identification of bacterial culture isolates. Match each of the odors listed with its corresponding bacterial species name.
1. Streptococcus anginosus (milleri)
2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
3. Eikenella corrodens
4. Alcaligenes faecalis
The beta hemoglobin chain loci are found on which chromosome?
The coagulation department tests samples for:
Blood Bank
What other component(s) can be shipped together with Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP)?
The Western Blot Assay is used as a confirmatory test for which of the following:
Provide the equivalent measurement for 1 decimeter.
hs-CRP is a more sensitive version of the C-reactive protein (CRP) test, a test that has been used for many years to assess inflammation in settings such as lupus, transplantation, infection, etc.
Which of the following cardiovascular risk markers is a more sensitive version of a test that is used to assess inflammation?
Creatinine clearance tests are utilized to estimate the glomerular function of the kidney. The creatitine clearance calculation is defined as the volume of plasma that is cleared of creatinine by the kidney per unit of time and uses the following formula:
creatinine clearance = Urine creatinine conc x Volume / Plamsa creatinine conc
Creatinine clearance measurements have a recommended specimen requirement = 24-hour urine collection.
Which of the following tests would be useful in the assessment of glomerular filtration:
The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) increases as the severity of alpha thalassemia increases because of changing MCV as the bone marrow produces smaller cells. In addition, if Hemoglobin H bodies are present, they result in the formation of schiztocytes (RBC fragments) that can have an effect on the MCV and RDW.
The Red cell Distribution Width (RDW) in alpha thalassemia is
