Phase Microscopy

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">One of the significant advances in microscopy is the development of the phase microscope. Anything less than a mathematical explanation of the principles involved would be inadequate. Therefore, the interested reader is referred to the literature on this subject obtainable from any of the leading manufacturers of laboratory optical equipment. Special equipment is required consisting of phase contrast objectives and a set of annular diaphragms for the special substage condenser.<br />The place of phase microscopy in diagnostic bacteriology is not yet established. The internal structure of cells, including microorganism, is so sharply revealed, however, as to rival the results obtained with the electron microscope. But at the present time it appears that practical applications are confined largely to the examination of tissue (tumor) cells, spermatozoa, urinary sediments, sputum, stomach and duodenal contents and feces, examined in wet preparations.</span></div></div>

Introduction To Malarial Parasite

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">Malaria is a potentially serious disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodia. Plasmodia parasite are transmitted between humans by the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito, which can carry the parasite. An Anopheles mosquito can only infect a person with malaria if it has already bitten a person with malaria.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />After the malaria Plasmodia parasites enter the human bloodstream, they travel to the liver and reproduce quickly. In most forms of malaria, some parasites stay in the liver to multiple while others flow into the bloodstream. Once in the blood, the malaria parasites destroy the red blood cells, which carry vital oxygen to the tissues of the body. The malaria Plasmodia parasites that stayed in the liver also continue to reproduce and send more parasites into the blood.<br /><br />The process of malaria results in repeated attacks of symptoms each time the malaria parasites are released into the blood. Symptoms first appear in about eight to 30 days after a bite from an infected mosquito. Symptoms are flu-like and can include fever, fatigue, fever, nausea and chills.<br /><br />Malaria can result in anemia (a decreased number of red blood cells). The remains of the destroyed red blood cells clump together and cause blockages in the blood vessels. This can result in brain damage or kidney damage, which is potentially fatal. A particularly serious, potentially life-threatening, form of malaria is called falciparum malaria.<br /><br />Attacks of malaria can occur for years if it is not diagnosed and treated. Eventually, the body's immune system may develop a defense against malaria attack, and they may become less severe in some people. If a person can survive a bout of falciparum malaria, repeat attacks do not recur.<br /><br />Making a diagnosis of malaria begins with taking a thorough personal and family medical history, including symptoms and travel history, and completing a physical examination. Recent travel to sub-tropical or tropical areas of the world is an important clue that may increase the suspicion of a diagnosis of malaria.<br /><br />Diagnostic testing includes blood tests that check for the Plasmodia parasites that cause malaria. A series of test may need to be done to definitely rule-out or diagnose malaria. A <b>Complete Blood Count (CBC) </b>can detect anemia, which can occur with malaria.</div></div>

Breakdown Of The Red Blood Cell

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">As a red cell ages, there will be a decrease in many of its enzymes, a decrease in ATP, and the cell will tend to become smaller and slightly more dense. Destruction of the red blood cell most commonly occurs in the bone marrow, through phagocytosis by the reticuloendothelial cells. As soon as this occurs, there is breakdown of the hemoglobin. The iron is freed for reuse by new red cells, and the amino acids, from the globin, are returned to the amino acid pool. The protoporphyring ring is broken at one of the methene bridges and biliverdin is formed. The biliverdin is reduced to bilirubin, which is carried by the plasma albumin to the liver for eventual excretion. If hemoglobin is released directly into the blood, it becomes attached to haptoglobin (a globulin), taken to the reticuloendothelial cell, and processed in the normal way. Free hemoglobin in the blood may be oxidized to methemoglobin. The heme groups will then combine with hemopexin, leave the circulation, and be catabolized. If there is an excess of heme groups, they will combine with albumin to form methemalbumin until hemopexin becomes available.</div> </div>

Biochemistry Of The Red Blood Cell

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">The mature red cells consists primarily of hemoglobin (about 95% of the dry weight). The membrane is composed of lipids and proteins in addition, there are numerous enzymes present in the red cell which are necessary for oxygen transport and cell viability. The red cell derives its energy from the breakdown of glucose. About 90% of the glycolysis in the red cell follows the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. In this way, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is generated and used to control the follow of sodium and potassium into and out of the red cell, maintain the biconcave shape of the cell, and protect the membrane lipids. The remaining 10% of the glucose molecules will follow the hexose-monophosphate shunt, where reduced glutathione is made available to prevent oxidative denaturation of hemoglobin. The methemoglobin reductase pathway maintain the iron, present in the hemoglobin molecule, in a functional state (Fe++). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), present in the early stages of the maturing red cell, are absent in the mature red blood cell.</div> </div>
