I have a question that has bugged me for weeks and I hope you canshed some light on it. I am approaching the end of my thirdtrimester. The baby has got itself into the right position, whichis great!! Though this is were my question lies. A unborn baby'shead points downwards in preparation for the birth and can be likethat for many weeks. If I hung upside down for that long all myblood would be swimming around my brain and I would be a bit dead!!So how come a unborn baby is okay??? Thank you

I have recently peformed an ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay), but I still have some questions, let me first outline whatI did:

  • We had a number (20) of tubes containing fake 'bodily fluids' ,namely saliva. One of these tubes contained the Epstein-Barr virus,which on its turn causes Pfeiffer's disease, aka the 'kissingdisease' (so we basically conducted an experiment to see how fastthe virus would spread within a class if everybody started kissingeach other, if you don't mind the crudity).

  • Everybody mixed their saliva with the saliva of 3 other people,so at the end everybody had a tube with the saliva of 4 differentpeople in it.

  • Since we worked in pairs of 2, every duo got a microtiter platewith 12 wells in it: 3 wells for a positive control, 3 wells for anegative control, 3 wells for the fluids of 1 of the duo and 3wells for the fluids of the other one. You pippete in (is thatcorrect?) the fluids accordingly.

  • After a while you rinse and clean the wells with washbuffer.

  • Then you pippete in the primary antibody in each well.

  • After a while you rinse and clean the wells with washbuffer.

  • Following this you pippete in the secondary antibody (conjugatedwith the enzyme HRP).

  • After a while you rinse and clean the wells with washbuffer.

  • Finally, you add the enzyme substrate (TMB) to each well. Thiscauses a blue color if when in contact with HRP. The positivecontrols must come out blue, the negative must come out colorless,and the other wells can go either way, depending if you have thevirus.

I hope this is not to crudely explained, again. These are myquestions concerning the experiment:

  1. What do the components of the acronym 'ELISA' actually standfor? Does immunosorbent refer to the binding of the antigens to thewells? My English isn't too good, and these acronyms andabbreviations often seem foreign to me (nevermind that they areforeign since I'm not English, you get the point I hope).

  2. When you pippete in the saliva in the wells, what actuallysticks to the wells? All of the antigens in your saliva? Becauseit's hard to believe that they make special microtiter plates forevery single antigen seperately. I assume it is only the antigens,since the primary antibodies attach to the antigens only, so thereis no need for the microtiter plate itself to bind toantibodies.

  3. How would we get the primary and secondary antibody? This is myassumption: The primary antibody we get is by injecting someantigens of the Epstein-Barr Virus into a human and then taking aserum. The secondary antibody could be gotten by injecting a randomhuman primary antibody into ANY animal, irrelevant which anyimal,and then taking a serum. After that you conjugate an enzyme to thesecondary antibody. Is this correct?

“Hello, I am Lillian Tudor, and I was married to my high school sweetheart, Earl, for 53 wonderful years. He died 2 years ago and I miss him to this day. Earl and I had three children, two of whom passed before Earl. Our oldest daughter, Leigh, is still helping me around the house and is a blessing to me in my old age. Let me tell you something. Getting old ain’t for sissies! I’m 84 years old as of last month. Leigh had the family meet at a buffet restaurant in town for a surprise party! It was nice to see the grandkids, because they don’t stop by often enough with their busy lives. Lynn, the oldest, has a great husband and two kids with more energy than what seems humanly possible. Leigh complains that they are too loud, but I think everyone else talks too softly these days! In fact, when Leigh comes over to take me to the doctor, she’s always telling me my television is too loud. “I have a lot of doctors who I see. There’s one for my heart and blood pressure who says my cholesterol is too high and wants me to start a new medicine. Another one is for the diabetes, which makes me use those stupid syringes to take insulin. And the last one is for trying to help me with my stiff knees and sore joints. Like I said, getting old ain’t for a sissy! Did I mention the adult briefs I wear to help with my bladder leakage? It’s those dang water pills that I take to keep my feet from swelling so badly. All in all, it’s not a bad life.” In addition to what Lillian has told you, here is a list of her current medications. Captopril 25 mg, three times a day Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5 mg, by mouth as needed for anxiety Insulin lispro (Humalog) 7 units subcutaneous TID, 15 minutes before meals Tramadol for arthritis pain Furosemide 40 mg, twice per day Ciprofloxacin 250 mg every 12 hours Pilocarpine eye drops, two drops each eye, four times a day Lasix 60 mg, once per day in the morning Select one medication and answer the following questions. If this was a medication order, do you have enough information to safely administer the medication? Please explain your answer and provide the missing information, if any. What is the medication’s classification? Does it have any special considerations about which the nurse should be aware? Why is Lillian taking this medication? If you are unsure based on the information you’ve been given thus far, list common reasons for this medication to be given. Does this medication present any possible adverse interactions with the other medications Lillian is taking? For your first post this week, select one medication and answer all four questions from above.
