Judging from the changes that are evident in these two before-and-after illustrations, do you suppose that the geologic age of calcitic marble could be determined from its fossil content (as can be done…
--There are 3 joints that form the ankle, they include the talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the Inferior tibiofibular joint. Jill most likely sprained her ankle. I feel this is the…
The catalase test is used to differentiate staphylococci (catalase-positive) from streptococci (catalase-negative). The enzyme, catalase, protects the bacteria from the toxic by-products of oxygen metabolism. This enzyme is produced by bacteria that respires using oxygen. The catalase-positive bacteria include strict aerobes. Catalase-negative bacteria may be anaerobes, or they may be facultative anaerobes do not respire using oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor. The test reaction is very fast and obvious bubbles will be seen. 30% Hydrogen peroxide will be drop on a glass slide. The inoculum of 24 hours fresh culture will be picked by using sterile loop and placed on the slide that contain H²O² drop. Bubble formation on the slide will show…
An ace bandage will physically constrict the blood vessels of the ankle causing a reduction in inflammation.…
There are three bones that make up the ankle joint- the tibia, fibula, and talus. When the ankle is fractured, it most commonly involves the distal tibia (medial malleolus) or distal fibula (lateral malleolus). If a doctor suspects a fracture, an X-Ray is often required. Why is this required if a doctor already knows the ankle is fractured?…
No ankle edema, and I am told that the orthopedist examined the scar and it looked…
DOI: 6/17/2015. The patient is a 26-year-old female inventory associate/athlete who sustained a work-related injury to her hand/knees when she tripped on a cloth rack and fell down to the ground. As per OMNI entry, the patient sustained injury to her right ankle and right shoulder.…
The amount of knee ligament injuries has been on the rise in recent years. Over the last 15 years, ankle sprains have decreased by 86% and tibia fractures by 88%, but knee ligament injuries have increased by 172%. These knee injuries usually occur while the person is either falling in a slow twisting motion, their knee is suddenly hyperextended, or there is a…
P. Self and Daniel Paine is based on a study trying to reveal new ankle injury prevention during landings in a variety of sports. By performing a series of landing tests, the goal is to learn how to prevent ankle injuries in sports through knowledge and understanding of proper landing techniques. Four landing conditions from 30.48 cm in height were tested. The landings include: the natural landing where the participant could use whatever landing technique they would utilize during an actual sporting event, but they must remember to keep their arms above their head through the entire test; the stick it landing where the participant drops with minimal knee flexion,…
In the unknown identification labs, we have identified our unknown as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram negative and rod shaped that we found to be motile in the lab. Our strain of P. aeruginosa formed colonies that were round in shape and had scalloped margins on nutrient agar. On our agar slant, the P. aeruginosa colonies had a filiform appearance on the edges.…
The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways, each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential tests used to identify the unknown cultures were oxidase, catalase, lactose and sucrose fermentation, Kugler/iron agar, nitrate reduction, gelatin hydrolysis, starch hydrolysis, manitol salt, MR-VP, citrate, bile esculin, indole, urease, DNase, and coagulase.…
In this article the three cases that have been studied concerning the turf toe injury are all almost alike. All three of the athletes discussed in each case were all three injured playing an outdoor cutting sport football. In case one the athlete described his injury by saying he heard a “pop” right when the injury appeared. In the second…

Training pain free and having full mobility return to the injured site are clear indicators of readiness for return to play. In order to measure an athlete’s readiness after returning from an injury they must go through various physical tests to test their fitness and basic skills needed to perform in their sport. For example, a netballer returning from an injured ankle would be tested on her agility through drills including side stepping and dogging. Her match fitness could be tested in a practice game situation at training provided she is pain free and has complete mobility.…
The most common injury in the game soccer is sprains and strains. This injury is usually caused in the lower limb. It happens if you get a kick to the leg or a twist to the knee or overuse of muscle. It also disables people to walk. Sprain and strain injury can be directly or indirectly it is direct if your falling or a strong kick to the body which breaks the joint out of position. Its indirect if the Strain is a pull or tear in the muscle…
