How is pneumoniae typically diagnosed?

How does a doctor determine that you have pneumoniae and not just a really bad cold? I know that sputum specimen can be cultured, but that takes several days before the results are out, and yet doctors declare pneumoniae before the culture results are out so that they can start treating the patient before the pneumonia gets worse. So how do they know without culturing sputum/blood specimen that the patient has pneumonia and not a horrible cold? How do they arrive at that diagnosis prior to culture which is used more or less to confirm the diagnosis?

joke….365 days a year?

A couple goes to an agricultural show way out in the countryside on a fine Sunday afternoon, and are watching the auctioning off of reproduction bulls. The guy selling the bulls announces the first bull to be auctioned off: “A fine specimen, this bull reproduced 60 times last year.”
The wife nudges her husband in the ribs, and comments: “See! That was more
than 5 times a month!”
The second bull is to be sold: “Another fine specimen, this wonder reproduced 120 times last year.”
Again the wife bugs her husband: “Hey, that’s some 10 times a month. What do
YOU say to that?!”
Her husband is getting really annoyed with this comparison… The third bull is up for sale: “And this extraordinary specimen reproduced 360 times last year!”
The wife slaps her husband on the arm and yells: “That’s once a day, every day of the year! How about YOU?!”
The husband was pretty irritated by now, and yells back: “Sure, once a day! But
ask the announcer if they were all with the same cow!”

will we one day be able to clone animals from ancient fossilised remains?

say from the bones or feathers of dinosaurs or very early mammals/birds.
i fully realise that today, this is completely impossible as there is almost no Biological matter left over from such specimens. but will we one day be able to pinpoint even minuet DNA stands left over from these specimens and be able to clone a whole animal from these?

Hey Guyz, I really need help with this project!!! about Molds! and how does a bread mold, how many days?

Hey im doing this project about molds.

there are 4 specimens (banana, bread, cheese and milk), we

have to classify what kind of mold grows in it, our teacher said

we can classify the mold by its color but i didn’t see anything

about that!, the banana has a light green kind of mold, and the

milk has a blue, white and black kind of mold, and how come

the cheese and the bread did not mold yet?

where would be the most reputable area close to my home town of Consett, Co Durham to charter a boat for 8hrs?

I need as much info on local venues so i can get myself a couple of good specimens and have a good day out on the open seas. Any and all info will be recieved gratefully. Thanks

I am 37 weeks and 6 days, as of today… Sunday (which is about over) and…?

I went to the hospital around 6 AM, i had called my OB and the doctor called me back and told me to meet him at labor and delivery. (im having bad menstrual like cramps, VERY swollen all over, esp. feet ankles and legs! legs throb from pain) and my bp has been borderline and a bit high.. so he told me to go in. he checked around 9 and i wasn’t dilating at all! and i hadn’t lost my plug or anything! Well they had put me on an IV to get fluids in me, and they were monitoring my son, which is SUPER healthy! and my bp was up sometimes.. it seems to be all over the place. Well he came back around 4 or so.. and i wasn’t dilating.. but after he checked the first time, i was bleeding a little, it was brownish red.. in my discharge. Well.. he sent me home then, and is having me do a 24 hour urine specimen and i have to take it to the lab tomorrow to make sure there isn’t protein in my urine. he told me that i should have sex at least 2 times a day to start the dilating.. and to rest a lot, stay off my feet. so when i got home i went right home. Well i woke up a few hours later and my feet were still swollen and hurt a bit, esp. my right one. my boyfriend and i decided to have sex like 30 minutes later, and when we were done, he handed me a towel and i wipes myself off with it, from the semen (sorry), the prostaglandins in the semen help move thing’s along. And when I wiped there was my mucus plug, it was stringy and looked my thick snot, it was a brownish color, but there was a red blood thing in it. so i called my home nurse and she said that yes, i lost my plug. so… since i lost my plug.. am i starting to dilate or? and i went out a little while ago and got Red Raspberry Herb Tea. My doctor told me that I may have him by thursday, and that was before i even lost my plug. so? am i dilating now? and will things start moving along? oh and my contractions have been very regular, like 3-7 minutes apart.. and they only “hurt” sometimes… so whats going to happen?
