The Funerary Monument of Flavius Agricola is a Roman marble piece by Antonine that is now on display in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

This infection can be spread to a person through an open cut or wound, and it becomes extremely difficult to diagnose in the early stages. Although Necrotizing Fasciitis can be fatal, there are various treatment options offered for patients suffering from this illness, and the most common option is surgery and repeated debridement treatment. Studies have shown that a patient is at a much higher risk of contracting this infection if he or she has a weak immune system, and early diagnosis due to high suspicion is key for an effective treatment. Although Necrotizing Fasciitis is a rare infection, it is often misdiagnosed, which has lead to the development of the National Necrotizing Fasciitis Foundation. The co-founders of the Foundation are dedicated to promoting awareness, educating the medical community, and in turn, saving lives, which closely aligns to a Public Health professional’s career and what they strive to do every…

When it derives to contemplating out an unknown bacterial species the whole purpose is to benefit us in order to better understand what this species is capable of. Throughout a general basis of identifying an unknown species we must figure out either it will become a gram-positive or gram-negative type of bacteria and in doing so we must do a gram staining method. This method works because it will direct us to what test we can do next based off either it is negative or positive bacteria, which is exactly what I had done for my unknown. These experiments are not just done without a reason; on the contrary, it is very important to identify these unknown bacterial organisms. For instance, in a medical point of view when becoming very sick to the…

Thurman, I agree with you when you say this discussion is interesting and something to look forward to, I learn several things just by reading what our classmates post! A great example of this is that I had no idea aspergillus fumigatus was real. I have heard of black mold and other fearsome fungi such as that, but it is scary to hear that something potentially dangerous can be found in every day soil. This information causes me to worry about my grandmother, she is frail but still works in her garden. She has spent years with her hands in the soil, I wonder if she was ever exposed to aspergillus fumigatus?…
Fasciola hepatica is a fluke or flatworm that parasitizes humans as well as livestock. It mainly lives in the liver of its host and is appropriately named the common liver fluke (Aksoy et al, 2005). Fascioliasis infection is spread via the ingestion of these liver flukes in their metacercaria stage (Alatoom et al, 2008).
