“…In addition, fluids can be divided into two categories the intracellular: rich in phosphate, magnesium, potassium, and proteins, but lower in sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate, and the extracellular fluids that are rich in sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, and proteins but lower in magnesium, potassium, and phosphate even though the chemical composition between humans varies inside the biological fluids. 33 Blood.-Blood has a role in maintaining the hemostasis of all cells in the body this is acquired by the exchange phenomenon of cellular debris with nutrients from the digestive and respiratory systems. This makes the blood rich in nutrients and cellular contents 34 and a perfect medium for monitoring humans' health status.…”

Bipolar disorder is known to be a group of affective disorders depicted by depressive manic or hypomanic disorders. Indeed, considered as an oldie as its pharmaceutical usage started in the 19th -century lithium is also a goodie used as the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder. In addition, it is considered to be the only treatment with anti-suicidal effects. During treatment, lithium levels should be monitored as its therapeutic levels (0.5-0.8 mM) in the blood are close to intoxication levels (>1.5 mM) and to severe intoxication levels > 2.5 mM, which might induce coma. That is why it is necessary for patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder to monitor lithium levels frequently. In fact, there are many traditional analytical techniques for lithium detection. Still, these are associated with limitations as they are very expensive, time-consuming, and not found in all laboratories. So, the need to develop a cost-effective, sensitive, and easy-to-handle devices has grown. Affinity sensors constitute a promising potential for the sensitive detection of lithium. This review, to my knowledge, is the first review highlighting the different types of biosensors developed for lithium-ion detection while explaining the mode of action of each biosensor

“…5 In contrast, our module can be used as a part of an in-class presentation, but it is equally effective as a component of self-directed learning. Physiology modules addressing difficult topics have been recently published in MedEdPORTAL 6,7 ; however, they do not provide integration of disciplines or self-assessment quizzes. Our module is a narrated, stepwise, pictorial representation of the immunologic events in a viral infection with accompanying images depicting the corresponding histologic and clinicopathologic changes.…”

Innate and Adaptive Immune Response to a Virus: An Integrated Learning Module

IntroductionMedical schools must expand their teaching strategies to address a new generation of medical students and ensure their growth into lifelong, self-directed learners. Integration across basic science disciplines packaged together with clinical medicine produces learning materials that better enable medical students to achieve these goals.MethodsWe created a narrated audiovisual learning module illustrating the foundational sciences and clinical presentation surrounding immune responses to viral infections. We integrated immunology, microbiology, histology, pathology, and clinical medicine and included a self-assessment quiz and clinical vignette with questions to test students' understanding of the material. We published the module on our school's learning management system and tracked student usage, which was followed by an in-class survey to assess student perceptions of the usefulness of the module.ResultsSixty-four (59%) of the first-year medical students used the module. Thirty-seven students completed the in-class survey assessing their perceptions of the module. Over 95% of responders reported that the module helped them learn the new material, identify areas of weakness, understand the big picture for this immune response, and apply the material in a clinical context.DiscussionThis module illustrates an approach to integrating basic science disciplines in order to facilitate students' understanding of the mechanisms underlying patients' clinical presentations. Survey results indicated that students valued the module as a self-directed learning component that integrated essential clinical concepts. The module was a helpful tool for students to evaluate their comprehension of immunology in a clinical context and can be used as required or optional material.
