Impetigo is a contagious childhood skin disease (Lawton, 2014). It is commonly diagnosed in children from two to five years old (Hartman-Adams, Banvard, & Juckett, 2014). Impetigo can present in two forms; bullous and non-bullous (Watkins, 2013). Both forms may appear at the same time (Watkins, 2013). Transmission can occur through direct or indirect contact (Lawton, 2014). Treatment may involve topic or oral antibiotics if skin cleansing alone does not resolve the disease (Watkins, 2013).…

inadequate at inhibiting bacteria. It reflects that natural remedies are ineffective in inhibiting gram-positive bacteria. First natural product: Saliva for instance, is one of the body’s many defence mechanisms. Its main function is to prevent adhesion of bacteria to oral surfaces. This means that saliva does not specialise in killing bacteria. Research has indicated that saliva have anti-bacteria property derived from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Peroxide inhibit bacteria by destroying cell…

Molecular control of adult neurogenesis in the human subependymal zone Adult neurogenesis The generation of new functional neurons from multipotent neural stem cells, termed neurogenesis, has been shown to persist in many mammalian species in two regions of the adult brain: the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus and the subependymal zone [SEZ, also subventricular zone] adjacent to the lateral ventricles [1, 2]. Lower levels of neurogenesis have been reported in other regions of…

Cyclodextrins are enzymatically modified starches composed of glycopynanose units which form a ring of either six (α-cyclodextrin), seven (β-cyclodextrin) or eight (γ-cyclodextrins) units. Characteristics of β-cyclodextrins include: • Glucose unit: 07 • Molecular weight: 1135 • Solubility =1.85g/100ml • Cavity diameter = 6.4 Ǻ • Diameter of outer periphery = 15.4 Ǻ • Approx. volume of cavity = 262 (Ǻ)3 Cyclodextrins have a cylindrical shape with central axial cavity and resembles the shape of a…

This is a 26-year-old female with a 2/9/2015 date of injury, due to a slip and fall. DIAGNOSIS: Left knee lateral meniscal tear; LEFT knee Arthroscopy with partial lateral meniscectomy, tricompartmental synovectomy, lysis of adhesions, & debridement on 10/23/15 11/13/15 UD testing report indicates negative results for the prescribed opioids that the patient has been inconsistent with Hydrocodone and Tramadol. 8/25/15 progress report described that the patient presented with ongoing left knee…

urinary tract infections, blood stream infection, surgical site infections(22). Leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortility in patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Monomeric flagellin of flagella helps in adhesion followed by internalization. Flagella has added structural feature of being glycosylated. Helicobacter pyroli: gram negative, micro aerophillic, spiral shaped bacteria, colonizes human stomach. It is cause of common infections, chronic…

Explain how atherosclerotic plaque is formed. Atherosclerosis is a disease of the large and intermediate sized arteries, where fatty lesions called atheromatous plaques develop on the inside surfaces of arterial walls. It is characterised by endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation and an accumulation of lipids, calcium, cholesterol, and cellular debris within the intima wall - making it a multifactorial disease that usually develops many years before manifestation of clinical symptoms.…

because I think that it's most important to our society. Its also a lot easier to understand. Capillary Action is a property of water. It is the ability of water to move upward against gravity. Water moves in between spaces due to forces of adhesion, cohesion and surface tension.Adhesion of the surface the water is sticking to makes the water able to be moved up, surface tension acts to hold the water to the object the water is moving on, and the capillary action is when the water is…

Influenza virus infection (IVI): IVI is one of critical global health issues, which may cause the yearly and sporadic pandemic [1, 2]. IVI approximately costs on $71-167 billion per year in United States [3]. Influenza viruses are classified to RNA viruses and have three subunits; Influenza virus A, B and C. Type A viruses are mostly associated in human disease and are divided into subtypes depends on hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) serotype [1]. In lung disease, IVI exacerbates asthma…

Dyspareunia, Female Dyspareunia is pain associated with sexual activity. This can affect any part of the genitals, and there are many possible causes. This condition ranges from mild to severe. Depending on the cause, dyspareunia may get better with treatment, or it may return (recur) over time. CAUSES The cause of this condition is not always known. Possible causes include: • Cancer. • Psychological factors, such as depression, anxiety, or previous traumatic experiences. • Severe pain…
