Chapter 3, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason behind the usage of sterile distilled water in place of sterile isotonic saline to irrigate the surgical wound from where the tumor is removed.
Introduction:
The tumor is defined as the abnormal growth of cells, which results in swelling and formation of a lump of tissue. It can either be benign or malignant. The benign tumors consist of noncancerous cells whereas the malignant tumor contains cancerous cells which can spread to various parts of the body.

Why is Hypertonic IV solution
used to reduce brain swelling?
Anna is training to be a cell culture technician. She uses some sterile distilled water to wasg a batch of cell culture plates. When she looks at the cell culture plates under the microscope to check the cells after this, she notices the cell have burst. She realizes she should have used 0.9% saline instead. Explain what has happened, and why she should have used the saline.
Some cancers are detectable with a simple blood test (if the cancer cells secrete a chemical that circulates in the blood). A spherical tumor 3 cm in diameter may result in a concentration in the blood of 20 nanograms/milliliter of the chemical to be detected. The most common type of blood test can only detect the presence of this chemical in the blood if the concentration is greater than about 0.1 ng/ml. Another way to check is with an MRI scan, which can detect a tumor down to about a diameter of 1 mm. Which test is more sensitive? (Hint: this is a scaling prolem. Determine the size of a tumor that would produce a blood concentration of just under 0.1 ng/ml, which is undetectable by a blood test. Would an MRI be able to detect it?).
Answer: In scaling problems, we need a linear scale factor. 0.1 ng/ml is 200 times smaller than 20 ng/ml, and we want to know what diameter of tumor will produce that amount. Assuming the secretion is based on the volume of the tumor, then we have λ 3 =…
