The preferred injection site is the ventral surface of the forearm and the purified protein derivative (PPD) test is an intradermal test.

<h3 /><h3>Purified protein derivative</h3>

Currently, the only skin test reagent for tuberculosis diagnosis that is commercially accessible is called purified protein derivative (PPD) (TB). The purpose of this work was to create a Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific skin test reagent that would not produce false positive findings from the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine utilizing recombinant antigens. By comparing the proteins in the M. tuberculosis culture filtrate to the proteins in PPD IC-65 using tandem mass spectrometry, 54 proteins were discovered to be shared. Top candidates ESAT 6, CFP 10, and MPT64 were overexpressed in Escherichia coli expression strains and isolated as recombinant proteins. The antigens were tested on guinea pigs that had been exposed to M. tuberculosis H37Rv and BCG to determine the best immunodiagnostic PPD combinations to use.

Just how far should an employee go with loyalty? Are there boundaries?
NeX [460]

Answer:

Ethically speaking, a worker should develop absolute loyalty to a company, or place, he/she works for, as it shows an adaptation and acceptance of the company´s values, principles, and fundamental aspects. This loyalty will ensure that a worker will carry out his/her duty to the best of her/his ability, always in the best interest of the company at large.

However, I do believe there must be a boundary to how much loyalty a person has towards a company, and especially, when this loyalty is pushing the person to perform an activity that basically undermines that person´s own personal values and principles. So, there should be a boundary when the loyalty to a company crosses the line and overcomes the personal limitations, the concience, if you will, of a worker.

For example, if you are a nurse, and the hospital you work for asks you to hide certain information from adverse events that have taken place due to a possible malpractice, or due to institutional shortcomings, but you know that the right thing to do is to hand over such information, for the greater good of patients and their families, over the welfare of the hospital itself, then I believe that the nurse should take the necessary measures, and overcome her loyalty. This event goes over personal boundaries and surpasses any possible loyalty that a worker may be required to have.

High blood and urine glucose (sugar) is characteristic of a disorder called ____________.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Is characteristic of Diabetes.

Explanation:

Diabetes is a disorder in which blood sugar increases due to the fact that there is mechanism by which sugar enters the cell is somehow affected.

There are different types of this disorder, the most common ones are the following,

1. Diabetes type 1, is an autoimmune disorder in which the cells that are in charge of producing insulin are destroyed, as a consequence there is not enough insulin (responsible for allowing the glucose channels to open and transport glucose into the cell). Therefore, sugar remains in blood circulation. When glucose levels are too high, it starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.

2. Diabetes type 2, is triggered by different factors, there are genetic and environmental factors that trigger this disease. In this case, cells are 'resistant' to the insulin effect, so the body reacts by secreting more insulin. As a consequence, cells in charge of secreting insulin are overworked and at the same time, the body cells keep on increasing the resistance to insulin. There is a point in which this compensation fails to work, and blood sugar rises. When the levels become high, glucose starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.

There are more types of diabetes, such as gestational diabetes or LADA. In this cases the cause of the disease varies, but the outcome is the same, increased blood glucose levels and presence of glucose in the urine.
