Gastroenteritis

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…

Treatment of lactose intolerance is only necessary if symptoms are present (Coutts, 2013). The main treatment of lactose intolerance is diet control which includes the exclusion of lactose from the diet with initial discontinuation of milk and cream (Coutts, 2013). Non-dairy milks such as soya, almond and lactose free milk that are calcium and vitamin D enriched should be utilized; higher calorie, protein and micronutrient enriched options should be selected over the lower calorie options…

Potter (2001) mentioned that C. perfringens spores may contaminate meat and meat products either before processing and survive cooking or after processing due to unhygienic handling of prepared food. Adak et al. (2002) reported that deaths due to C. perfringens (type A) food poisoning are rare but may occur in the elderly and debilitated. It is estimated to kill seven people in the USA, and between 50 and 100 people in UK yearly. Asha and Wilcox (2002) reported that the first C. perfringens…

In an effort to defend themselves, many organisms in the macroscopic world have developed lightning-fast reflexes, sharp claws, or clenchable fists. Animals use their adaptations to help them survive in nature. In the microscopic world, however, organisms such as bacteria and fungi do not have the ability to ward off enemies with brute force, so they have to produce chemical defenses. In the case of fungi, specifically the Penicillium genus, their chemical defenses are against bacteria, in the…

When a child has gastroenteritis, better known as ‘stomach flu,’ diarrhea is often a symptom, as well as a major cause for stomach aches in young children. Some foods that the child may have trouble breaking down and digesting could cause stomach pains; lactose intolerance being…

Donoghue and Stevenson was the case that changed everything. Before this case, a contract could not impose limited liability on a stranger. This meant that a third party who suffered loss and damage as a result of a breach of warranty in a contract between two other parties could not sue.

Then…

Results: In order to identify the gram positive isolate in the unknown #260 broth, I observed the bacterium under the microscope, created a stock culture, and conducted a variety of biochemical tests. First, I prepared a gram stain of the mixed culture using aseptic technique, shown in Figure 1, and found two different bacteria. There were too numerous to count purple cocci in clusters, pairs, and some single cells, which I identified as the target isolate. The other bacteria present a pink…
