Table 2. Results for the antimicrobial susceptibility tests using the BSAC method Organism Microbial Resistance (mm) CFX CXM CTX CPM Control 310217 704476/2 706498 310258 CFX = Cefalexin. CXM = Cefuroxime. CTX = Cefotaxime. CPM = Cefepime. R = Resistant. S = Sensitive. Table 2 highlights resistance/sensitive of the dissimilar microorganisms to the different sorts of antibiotics. Data of table 2 demonstrates that E.coli strains produced sort of difference in resistance.…
treatment yet in the case of DMD as there is no specific cell type that completely ameliorates the disease. Many of the hurdles in stem cells include finding the best place for the transplant or infusion site and dealing with the disruption of the extracellular matrix in treatment. Even with these challenges stem cells are an expansion in the treatment of many diseases including; diabetes, acute hepatic failure, metabolic liver diseases, retinal diseases, PD, HD, and possibly heart…
The cell is the basic unit of life and is the smallest structure that can live an independent life. In 1665, Robert Hook was the first person to identify cells and name them. He also noticed that plants were made up of cells and this finding introduced the beginning of cell theory. Cell theory summaries Hook’s findings that cells make up all living organism, can only be produced from pre-existing cells and are the smallest living organism. The size of the cells is due a dependence on diffusion…
cause by water intoxication due to renal water retention leading to hyponatremia, urine that is too concentrated when serum osmolarity is very high. According to Huether & McCance (2012), Sign and symptom of SIADH depends on rate of development and severity of hyponetremia. In mild cases of hyponetremia, may or may not have any symptom. Norman sodium level in the blood is between 136 to 145 mEq/L. When this level drops from 140 to 130 mEq/L. some of the sign and symptoms may occur like…
Deinococcus radiodurans was discovered in 1956 by scientists accidently, after a can of corned beef had been treated with radiation in order to kill any harmful microorganisms that might have been present in the canned meat. Since its accidental discovery, D. radiodurans has been intriguing scientists with is astonishing resistance to ionizing radiation, UV radiation, electrophilic mutagens, oxidizing agents, and desiccation. This gram-positive bacteria usually forms in spherical pairs or…
• Macro and Micromorphology Analysis Colony diameters after 7 days at 25°C were as follows: CYA: 70-77 mm, MEA: 56-60 mm, YESA: 69-79 mm, OAT: 42-45 mm, CREA: 3-4 mm and CYA + 5% NaCl: no growth. On CYA at 10ºC conidia germinate, at 15ºC, 20ºC and 30ºC growth is evident with colony diameters of 9-17 mm, 59-71 mm and 56-86 mm, respectively. The species does not grow on CYA at 37ºC and 42ºC while at 33ºC the colony diameters varies from 0 to 22 mm, indicating that at this temperature the growth…
Calcium sensing involves the binding of calcium to calcium-sensing receptors (CasR), which, depending on the location (e.g., parathyroid glands, skin, kidney, or bones), elicit a change in metabolism through intracellular signaling. When extracellular calcium levels are high, CasR binding inhibits PTH transcription through intracellular transduction pathways in the parathyroid glands. Consequently, PTH secretion and blood levels decrease. In contrast, when calcium levels are low, PTH is…
Introduction The infection at the wound site is a severe kind of problem and it delays regeneration of epidermis and dermis in the wound and slows wound closure. Due to the secretion of microbial enzymes by wound pathogens, a variety of extracellular matrix proteins were degraded. Synthetic antimicrobial therapy used in the wound management and eradication of pathogens. However, it has many shortcomings such as anti-microbial resistance, cyto-toxicity against host tissue and absence of…
Keratinized Stratified squamous epithelium are cells on the surface of the pinna of the ear in the epidermis. These are structurally flat cells, and although they are part of the skin surface layer they are no longer active cells by the lack of blood supply. They are pack of a keratin proteins, which main purpose is to make our skin waterproof from hazard chemicals. These dead cells are constantly deteriorating from the surface of the skin. The cells on the base layer are really cuboidal shape.…
barrier, and damage the brains. Moreover, some theories wonder about the effect of the accumulation of aspartic acid in blood. Because aspartic acid, a component of aspartame, is a neutron-transmitter, it facilitates for the influx of calcium from extracellular (at synaptic gap) into the neuron. As a result, neurons are…
