mixed infection

mixed lymphocyte reaction

a test for histocompatibility between donor and recipient; lymphocytes from both are mixed in vitro and the responses quantitated by measuring the uptake of tritium-labeled thymidine (³H-TdR). In the usual assay one of the two populations which will serve as the target is blocked from undergoing blastogenesis by the drug mitomycin. The degree of incompatibility is reflected in the amount of cell division as measured by the uptake of ³H-TdR, incompatibility increasing the uptake of ³H-TdR.

mixed tumor

canine mammary tumors are often mixtures of epithelial, myoepithelial or connective tissues. Mixed tumors also occur in the dog in the thyroid, sweat and salivary glands.

Patient discussion about mixed.

Q. Is it safe to mix alcohol and Marijuana? A friend of mine suggested smoking some in a party after drinking heavily…I refused because I don’t know what the effect will be…is it dangerous?

A. Good call…not that it can kill you or something but using one drug that effect the central nervous system is bad enough but still “controllable”’ while mixing both cannot produce any expected reaction. Every time doing so you can find yourself in a very different state. About the toxisity- not enough is known about marijuana and mixing it with alcohol to say for sure that it’s toxic. But also the other way around…no one can asure you it’s safe. I would avoid doing so.

Q. How long between allergy medication can I give a child cold medication? I gave my boyfriend’s son allergy medication and he also has a cold I wanted to know when I can give him cold mediation for his cold. He is 5 years old.

A. This is a question for a professional. Some medication react with others, you should call a Doctor or a pharmacist and ask them. And ask them if it’s o.. to give a cold medicine to a 5 year old. If it’s not a bad cold- you can treat it the old fashion way, steams, chicken soup, a lot of tea.

Q. What medications are forbidden to take with alcohol? And why is that?

A. I think this web page will give you something to think about:
