Fungi

inhibits the DNA synthesis of the fungi Pharmacokinetic action: The drug is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract from 75% to 100%. Which means it should not be taken with food as it decreases the absorption of the drug. Resistance to flucytosine is commonly…

Asthma can occur at any age. But the Child hood asthma or children asthma is the most common health problem in the present day society. Similarly chronic bronchitis is also another major respiratory problem frequently occurs in children at any age groups. If this chronic bronchitis is not treated properly with constitutional homeopathic treatment then it may turns into bronchial asthma in the future. The common symptoms of chronic bronchitis and child asthma are - frequent attack of cough, cold,…

Many safety measures are taken to keep fungi and bacteria from growing on the space station. The ISS predecessor, space station Mir had a serious problem with fungi tearing down the materials of different machines and modules. That’s why the air, water and all the surfaces are constantly being cleaned to prevent such problems from happening (Barry, “Microscopic…

“I think mascara is a must. If I’m going to wear makeup somewhere… it’s usually really simple- it’s just mascara…” (Jenner). The most viewed people, celebrities, use mascara daily, setting examples for the whole world. Such products are created by scientists that use a combination of chemicals and mixtures to assemble this commodity. Due to history and past experimentation, the testing of mascara illustrates the concepts of Chemistry. Mascara has been an existing factor within society for…

There is a long list of natural and diverse enemies of ticks. Certain microbes, some mammals, several types of generalist arthropod predators, and even certain types of birds make up the majority of the list. Oxpeckers are one type of bird known for eating ticks. There has been indications they also cause damage to the host of the tick they are eating. Guinea hens, chickens and other ground feeding birds are also known to feast on ticks. Mammals groom and birds preen ticks and various other…

General Overview Description: The central African savanna biome is a tropical grassland characterized by its thick grassy plains and few dispersed trees that do not have a high enough tree density to form a closed canopy. Consequently, this allows for sunlight to reach the ground, supporting a thick and healthy layer of plantlife consisting primarily of grass. It is also characterized by its seasonal availability in water as a large majority of its rainfall is subject to one season.…

Healthcare-Associated Infections definition Healthcare-Associated infections are patients’ infections that happen when the patients are receiving treatments in a health care setting for health issues either medical or surgical condition. There are many places where healthcare-associated infections can happen such as hospital’s inpatient care, outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, nursing homes, end-stage renal disease facilities, and rehabilitation centers (Health.gov, 2016). Types of…

Carbon cycle One of the ways that nature recycles matter is through the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is carbon cycling through the global environment. Carbon is a chemical element and a key component of many systems in the biosphere, from acting as part of the earth's thermostat to being one of the key elements in photosynthesis, which is when plants make sugars for energy. In order for the ecosystem to function properly, all parts need an adequate supply of carbon. This is usually not…

infection could result in a kidney infection called pyelonephritis. So I’ll continue to research until I get a more defined answer of why I’m suffering from kidney failure. A urinary tract infection is caused by organisms/microbes including bacteria, fungi, and viruses that affect the urethra and could spread to the bladder and kidneys. The majority of UTIs are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli (E-coli), most live in the bowel and others like Chlamydia that affect the reproductive system.…

The human gut contains numerous organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi. These gut microbes have co-evolved with host through for a very long time and at baseline, provide a beneficial relationship with the host. This paper will focus on bacteria, which are multiple factors more than human cells in number. These bacteria have a significant effect on humans and play a significant role in maintaining one’s health. Despite the countless research projects that target these bacteria, their…
