discrepancy. Some of the common causes in this group are: • Subgroups may be present • Weak expression of A or B antigens in cases of leukemias or occasionally Hodgkin’s disease • Acquired B antigen; this is suspected when the group appears AB but the serum contains anti-B. A1 cells are notorious for such type of expression. This phenomenon is frequently encountered in patients of carcinoma colon and rectum. Group III Discrepancy This discrepancy between forward and reverse groupingusually occurs due

quantitation is a study which is used to determine protein concentration in an unknown sample by comparing its assay response to one which is already known. This has uses in a broad range of research topics which include protein analysis. Two bovine serum albumin (BSA) dilutions of unknown concentrations using the Bradford assay method of protein quantification were used. BSA is a fatty acid carrier protein in the blood; this is used as it stabilizes enzymes and has advantageous properties such as protection

Why was Mr. Lancaster so acidotic? (2 points) One reason why the patient was acidotic was because small intestine was not allowed to be perfused‚ causing cells to switch to anaerobic metabolism that produces lactic acid‚ thus decreasing serum pH levels. The patient’s HCO3 levels are near critical low levels 3. What is abdominal compartment syndrome? (4 points) ACS is a life threatening condition where increased abdominal pressure causes intraabdominal hypertension
