Biological functions: The main biological functions for CRP to determine via its ability to identify pathogens and injured cells of the host and mediate their elimination via activating the complement system and phagocytic cells (Brundish and Baddiley,1968 ; Weiser et al., 1997). CRP binds to microorganisms and mediates their killing to more recent observations of protection against bacterial pathogens in CRP transgenic mice. The most significant evidence has supported the notion that CRP plays…

Article Summary of a Clinical Review Introduction In this article, Baranoski, LeBlanc, and Gloeckner (2016) bring attention to the topic of skin tears and the complications that can arise from them. The authors point out that while skin tears are common, they are often poorly treated and the result can be increased complications, hospital stays, and other negative effects. To highlight this issue, Baranoski et al. (2016) discusses complications from a skin tear on an elderly patient that was…

functional properties in its application in various food products. The functional benefits of using carrageenan in food products include modification of texture, reduction of fat and salt content, enhancement of flavour, fortification of fibre, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, anti-browning, and extension of shelf life (Venugopal, 2011). Its functions are as bulking agent, carrier, emulsifier, and gelling agent, glazing agent, humectant, stabilizer or thickener (Prajapati et.al,…

Introduction The human body is populated by a large aggregate of microbes on the skin as well as many mucosal surfaces. They are composed of mainly bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. These commensal microorganisms live in the human body in symbiosis. Microbiota play a functional role in the health and disease of an individual. Roughly there are around 1012 bacteria found on the skin, primarily staphylococci and corynebacteria, and 1010 found in the mouth, primarily, streptococci, lactobacilli.1 But…

Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Cichorium intybus on lipid peroxidation activities of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, inflammatory mediators, myocardial enzymes and histopathology of cardiac tissues in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Diabetic cardiomyopathy was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (40mg/kg) combined with high energy intake in rats. Seed extract of Cichorium intybus (CIE) (250mg/kg & 500mg/kg) was…

Indwelling Urinary Catheters Foley catheters are used for many patients who have been admitted to the hospital, as well as patients who undergo lengthy surgeries. Approximately 15-25% of hospitalized patients are ordered an indwelling catheter during their stay; most of these patients stay catheterized for 2-4 days (Aljohi et al., 2016). It is important to use proper technique to avoid catheter acquired UTI’s (CAUTI’s) because hospitals don’t get money when patients receive hospital acquired…

The advancement of a modern health care system over the last century, from breakthroughs in sanitation to anaesthesia development, have been among the world’s most impressive accomplishments. According to Michaud, Murray and Bloom (2001), the worldwide life expectancy has increased more in the past one hundred years than any other time in recorded history. This gain was greatest in developed nations, and a significant portion of it can be attributed to developments in public health. Michaud et…
