PMLS_LEC2 Flashcards
● Procedure of Scientific Activities
● Employs a scientific investigation to come up with findings
● These investigative lab procedures help both patient and physician with meaningful diagnostic results/ findings.
SUBSTANTIAL PROCEDURAL
5 Steps in lab diagnosis
- Formulation of the Problem
- Propose A Hypothesis
- Experimentation
- Presentation, Analysis, And Interpretation Of Data
- Conclusion And Recommendation
● Paramount (of the highest importance) field of scientific investigation.
These lab investigations include:
▪ drug testing (to rule out drug addiction)
▪ molecular and nucleic acid analysis (for genetic disease diagnosis)
▪ forensic investigation
▪ scientific research
INVESTIGATIVE COMPLICITY
Intervention in Medicinal Procedures
INTERMEDICAL PROCEDURAL INTERFERENCE
To determine :
▪ the potential effectiveness of specific antibiotics on
the bacteria
▪ if the bacteria developed resistance to certain
antibiotics.
→ The results of this test help select drugs that will likely
be most effective in treating the infection.
Susceptibility Testing
A bacteria is inoculated (produce
immunity) into the culture medium
Whole plate
transparent halo (found around
each antibiotic)
▪ This means that the bacteria being grown in the culture is susceptible or sensitive to that specific antibiotic
Zone of inhibition
the bacteria is resistant to that
antibiotic
No zone of inhibition
● These are Practical applications of medical technology procedure.
● Most Notorious nature of MLS is the explicit application of
science and technology.
ASSIDUOUS PARTNER
→ Inquiry-based
→ Builds knowledge through repetitive inquiry and
sophisticated methods
→ Scope is infinite
Science
→ Application-based
→ Applies scientific knowledge through experiments, practice, or trial and error
→ Scope is well-defined and has a specific focus
Technology
are inseparable and must be
learned simultaneously.
Science and technology
● MLS provide evidentiary information in medicine
● Laboratory findings as proof on medical findings and
prognosis to assist physicians.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL MEDICAL EVIDENCES
Mandatory in the field of medical technology that instrumentation must include the entire process of:
→ Selection
→ Operation
→ Maintenance
→ Troubleshooting
The discipline has evolved from the use of a single microscope to actually having to operate a machine.
INSTRUMENT SELECTION, OPERATION,
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Through the utilization of a computerized information system, data input retrieval and analysis is better
UTILIZATION OF COMPUTERIZED INFORMATION
SYSTEM FOR DATA INPUT, RETRIEVAL, AND
ANALYSIS
