“In the 1980s pharmaceutical manufacturers, thinking infectious diseases were essentially conquered, cut back severely on searching for additional antibiotics” (Levy). Unknowingly, people all over the world are promoting the reproduction and spread of multiple-drug resistant bacteria and viruses. Every continent in the world is connected by easily accessible travel which makes infection effortless. There are numerous amounts of methods can slow down this process and keep people healthy. If the…

The purpose of this paper is to identify interactive model that address the APRN-patient relationships and focuses patient-centered care and on the person as whole based on the individual’s physical, psychological, spiritual, and social entities. As future APRN with urology subspecialty I would like to dedicate a part of my practice to female population patients who suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections, help to prevent it with natural remedies in order to decrease antibiotic overuse…

An infection that involves the urethra, uterus, kidney and bladder is considered to be a urinary tract infection, or UTI (CDC, 2015). Normally, bacteria do not live in those areas, but if the bacterium does come in contact with those areas, an infection will occur. Symptoms of a urinary tract infection include burning sensations, pain in the lower abdomen, an increase in the frequency of urination and occasionally bloody urine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)…

The Renal System, which is also known as the Urinary System, is made up of the kidneys, urinary bladder, urethra and ureters. The kidneys play an important role in the Renal System; they filter the blood in order to eliminate waste and produce urine, maintain the body’s fluid balance, make hormones as well as balances the levels of some of the chemicals in the blood. The urinary bladder, urethra and the ureters together make up the urinary tract. The urinary tract acts as a drainage system…

CD4+ T lymphocytes, or cells, are white blood cells that are involved in immune protection. These cells assist B cells in creating antibodies, allow macrophages to establish heightened antimicrobial activity, recruit neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils towards inflammation and infection. CD4+ T cells also produce a group of cytokines, which respectively, trigger an abundance of immune responses. T cell differentiation Originally, Mosmann et al., 1986 reported that CD4 T cells can be…

Since the 1940,s, antimicrobial drugs, such as antibiotics, have been effectively used to cure patients with infectious diseases. Over time, however, many pathogens have evolved to resist the drugs that were designed to destroy them, making the products increasingly ineffective…

working in japan reported a recent example of multidrug resistance in S. marcescens. They reported isolated clinical strains showing a fairly high resistance to norfloxacin, streptomycin, ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and antimicrobial dyes (Chen et a., 2003). The significance of the study of how this bacterium develops resistance to antibiotics, both old and new, cannot be overemphasised. If we are to gain an upper hand in the battle against antibiotic resistance,…

Although primarily used as moisturizers and pH regulators, they possess multiple other properties such as antimicrobial activity, skin lightening, and skin hydration. The moisturizing effect is related directly to lactate’s water retaining capacity, and the skin-lightening action of lactic acid is produced by the suppression of the formation of tyrosinase (a cosmetic…

Pigs are friends, not food. There are many reasons humans should not eat pigs. Pork is one of the few foods certain religions forbid people from eating. For example, Islam forbids people from eating pork because it does more harm than good to your body. Other religions, like Judaism, forbid eating pork because it is seen as an unclean animal. Other people just think pigs are not meant for human consumption, but have many other uses. In regards to health, pork products are high in cholesterol…
