Intestinal lymphangiectasia may be suspected by hypogammaglobulinemia, hypoalbuminemia, lymphopenia and increased alpha-1 antitrypsin excretion in the faeces[5] and can be supported by duodenal biopsy. Endoscopy shows dilated lacteals as white opaque spots, nodular lesions and xanthomatous plaques are also seen. The lesions are often patchy and localized.[5] However, several biopsies are often needed before lymphangiectasia is demonstrated. Lymphatic impairment due to malformed, hypoplastic lymphatics can be demonstrated by radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy.[5] CASE REPORT

For Mr. Tripson’s urine test, the physician wants to examine his dissolved particle-to-water levels, or osmolarity. Polyuria is a condition in which you lose a lot of water in your urine; the osmolarity test will determine how much water and what concentration of particles are in it. The two particles the physician is specifically interested in observing are glucose and ketones, both of which are indicators of diabetes mellitus. A presence of ketones in your urine could mean your body is burning fat instead of glucose for energy, which is common in diabetic patients, and could potentially lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a complication of diabetes that can be fatal.

Methods of Data Collection Measuring the independent variable: The pH (the independent variable) is being tested on the turnip peroxidase to observe the reaction rates. 5 levels of pH are required for these series of reactions so pH buffers of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 are to be placed in each of the waters that will be put into the cuvettes for the experiment. Measuring the dependent variable: A colorimeter must be used in order to calculate the reaction rate/absorbance level of the turnip peroxidase when the different pH levels affect it. The colorimeter can be used to measure the transfer of heat to or from an object.
