Clinical Problem: Patients with severe Clostridium difficile that are treated with typical antibiotics have an increased chance of recurrent infection. Objective: To determine if the use of Fecal Microbiota Transplants are more effective in treating severe cases of C diff infection. PubMed, Google scholar, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information were researched to gather clinical trial and guidelines for Fecal Microbiota Transplants. The key words used to find the evidence were,…

Biome Description The Tropical Rainforest is a location in which there is a large variety of different plants and animals. There are large amount of rainfall each year and it is really humid, yet the temperatures are really high, therefore it is very warm in that area. There is a lot of animals and plants that live in the Tropical Rainforest, and according to ¨Learning About Rainforest¨, ¨As many as 30 million species of plants and animals live in tropical rainforests. ¨ (L.A.R). The Tropical…

ecosystem other animals will either benefit or starve from the extinction of honey badgers. This essay is going to talk about if it’s an invasive species, the honey badgers habitat & niche, and its interspecific interactions. I will also be talking about biomes and the nutrient cycles. I believe that all of the subjects that i’m going to be talking about are very important for our earth. My favorite animal is the Honey Badger. The honey badger is not an invasive species, but it does get…

adorable little elephant, the dumbo octopus uses those big “ears” to get around. It’s biome is the aquatic Marine. Dumbo octopus can be found typically in every ocean in the world. Although, the dumbo octopus is a deep sea animal that lives on the floor of the ocean at extreme depths. The octopus is found in the mid-atlantic ridge found in the pelagic zone in the Atlantic Ocean. When it comes to the Marine Biome, the weather doesn't really affect it much. It is warmer as you get to the equator…

Humpback Whale In this paper, I will discuss a Humpback Whale biome of their choosing as an animal from that biome. I will explain how a humpback whale lives in weather and their biome. Also, I will explain where does a humpback whale live at in different oceans. The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. A humpback whale is one of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12-16 meters 39-52 feet and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms 79,000 pounds. The humpback has a…

Diary of a traveling survivalist Dear diary, Today I investigated the desert. I investigated the hot and the cold deserts. Deserts can be found in the United States, Africa, Asia, and even Antarctica. Out here in the desert there is a harsh unforgiving terrain. The climate in both is almost unbearably dry. In the hot desert, there are extreme temperatures. In the day, the temperature is sweltering hot and at night it is freezing cold. The cold desert retains the cold temperature throughout the…

These animals are cute and smart and might be in your backyard if you live near mountains but they can be very dangerous. Raccoons can grow up to be about 10-30 pounds throughout their life. They usually breed during spring and then they have their kits around late spring or early summer. Their lifespan can go up to 15 to 20 years before their death, but the ones that live in the wild can only live up to 3 years due to diseases, hunters, and traffic accidents. They live in the Deciduous forest…

On the continent of America, there are a myriad of natural wonders, called National Parks, that outshine the rest of the country in terms of beauty. Luckily, these areas are protected by the national government in order to provide areas for citizens to take a break from the day to day hustle, and enjoy a vacation with family in some of the most beautiful places in the world. One of these areas, Yosemite National Park, is located in the beautiful mountains of California. Yosemite is home to…

The tundra has the coldest temperatures of all of the different types of biomes. The typical temperature in the tundra is about minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s very cold, but it gets even colder there in the winter! It’s actually very dry in the tundra as they receive about as much precipitation, or moisture, as the average desert, and it’s mostly in the form of snow. It’s also barren and treeless partly because it lacks the nutrients needed to support plants and animals. All year it has…

Factors Since on the top of Modoc Plateau lies Modoc Forest, one of the major limiting factors of Modoc Forest — and many other forests — is water. This is an example of an abiotic factor, but this impacts the biome heavily. Water is an essential for all biomes, but especially forest biomes because of the plethora of trees and shrubs. Fortunately, the soil is saturated enough in Modoc Plateau, so water can be stored there for short term usage. However, the recent drought has taken a toll on…
