Welcome Dear Student

This blog was designed for the Biomedical Technology students at the Durban University of Technology, in Durban, South Africa. It consists of short notes on aspects that I feel that my students grapple with, and aims to provide a better explanation than that they would receive in lectures. It is also a very personal blog, where I feel comfortable 'talking' to my students.

  1. answer to no 15. Don't look if you want to work it out yourself. Eyes closed??? here goes:
    pink urease is a positive reaction; suggests Proteus which is also PAD positive and because it is a NLF gives an alkaline slant on TSI.All fits togetehr therefore low electrolytes must be the odd one cos how is CLED related here. Though it could be.....
