Study Notes
Examination of Stool and Molecular Biology
- Routine fecalysis examines stool for pathologic conditions.
- DNA and RNA identification techniques are significant in detecting diseases.
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a widely used method for genetic analysis.
Blood Bank and Laboratory Testing
- The Blood Bank, also known as Immunohematology, is critical in clinical laboratories.
- Faulty cross-matching can lead to severe consequences, including patient death.
- Blood typing and compatibility testing form the backbone of Blood Bank services.
Laboratory Testing Cycle
- The laboratory testing cycle begins with a doctor's request and ends with result generation (Turn-around Time).
- Quality Control (QC) programs ensure accuracy in laboratory results.
- Internal Quality Control programs continuously assess laboratory personnel competency.
Mycology, Virology, and Hematology
- Mycobacteriology involves fungal sensitivity testing and culture.
- Mycology focuses solely on fungi identification, while Virology identifies viruses.
- Hematology encompasses cell enumeration in blood and other body fluids (e.g., CSF).
Historical Figures in Medical Technology
- Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) is considered the Father of Microbiology; he discovered red blood cells and classified bacteria.
- His advancements with the compound microscope spurred growth in microbiology and pathology.
- Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694) is known as the Father of Pathology; he contributed to embryology and anatomy.
Morphology in Microbiology
- Morphology refers to the study of bacterial shapes and classification.
- Cocci are round-shaped bacteria, while rods are elongated shapes.
Medical Technology in the Philippines
- The introduction of medical technology in the Philippines occurred post-World War II by the 26th Medical Infantry of the US Army.
- They established the first clinical laboratory at Quiracada St., Sta.
