Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 The antibacterial agent is more than likely triclosan. Nasty stuff. Nice article. Don't get me started on superbugs and the overuse of antibiotics... hey, if you are never exposed to germs, you're body never learns to fight them. Traci I don't know the answer here but I am wondering why you would add an antibacterial agent (I am assuming that's what this is) to real soap which is naturally antibacterial. I have had this argument with my father who is a health inspector for OSHA and is obsessed with anti bacterial products. This weekend I made them a hand soap that not only contains real soap, but anti bacterial eo's. It is excellent. Here is an article talking about a study done on the effectiveness of antibacterial " soaps " compared to regular... http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1056419.htm hope this helps a bit:) Cheers!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Re Mental Health knowledge Dear Jo, I was very interested in your finding which I am sure mirrors expereince elsewhere. You may know that the new graduate Mental Health Workers (NHS Plan) are beginning to enmerge now from training programmes - there is meant to be 2 per PCT so you might try to find out where yours are and if they have not been allocated perhaps you coudl get one. Another approach is to skill up team members so that they have greater MH skills. Many Universities offer short courses in mental health and we have developed a module on Mental Health in Primary Care relating to the MH NSF. You should be able to find info about it on the City web site: www.city.ac.uk/barts. Best wishes, Ros Digest Number 1346 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 , In the medical laboratory (I work in one, by the way) we do tests which involve a procedure called electropheresis. What you do is place a small amount of a patient sample on a special kind of gel and then run electricity through the gel. The kind of gel and the frequency of the electricity is determined by what it is you are trying to detect. After the electricity is applied, the gel is allowed to dry and then it is stained with something that will pick up whatever it is you are trying to detect. I have never actually done electropheresis for oligoclonal bands, and I don't even remember what the word " oligoclonal " means anymore. (I did a bit of study into the various spinal fluid tests when I was getting diagnosed.) The way they detect those is to perform electropheresis using spinal fluid, and then if the electropheresis detects bands at certain distances from the application point, they are oligoclonal bands and are diagnostic for MS. There are probably more conditions than just MS which produce oligoclonal bands through electropheresis. It's the position of the bands on the gel plate which is diagnostic for MS, and I would imagine (though I can not say for certain) that other disorders have different patterns of oligoclonal bands which are diagnostic for them. I honestly do not know much of anything about PLS so I can't answer that part of your question. Sorry.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'll definitely second this comment! We generally get 20 to 30 mls of spinal fluid in the lab for analysis, but we really only need 3 to 5 for routine analysis. For the specialty tests which are sent out to other labs (oligoclonal bands, IgG synthesis, and such) we do need to have a bit more fluid, but 10 mls would probably be enough for every test in most cases. I believe the thinking behind collecting so much fluid is that if a test needs to be repeated or if more fluid is needed for some reason, collecting more is not as easy as just going and doing another blood draw. In the laboratory we consider CSF (spinal fluid) to be an irreplaceable specimen. It's not truly irreplaceable, but would you really want to be on the receiving end of a recollection request?
