A female Mini Schnauzer named Maggie and found that after a while of having her, she started chewing on her back & legs with some spots on her looking pretty raw. We examined her and knew she didn't have fleas and we started to worry that her hair wouldn't grow back in the raw areas. We decided to take her to the vet to see what was wrong. The vet had the usual answer of the dog has allergies and could either give her shots (expensive) or try a cream/lotion. We decided to go to the pet store…

Midterm Exam 1. The leaf cutter ant community is a large amazing system that contains many different species that interact with each other on many different levels. Although many things take place during this extraordinary symbiosis, there are a few keystone mutualists within this leaf-cutter ant community that without them, the results would be almost catastrophic. For one, fungi are extremely important to the ants. Specifically, the fungus Lepiotaceae . The ants cultivate this fungus and…

All living things need to go through cellular respiration to convert sugars into energy. While this process usually involves oxygen, a type of respiration called fermentation does not (which is why it�s also called anaerobic respiration). Humans have long known about fermentation for use in bread and beverages, but have recently harnessed this for making fuel. One of the products of fermentation is ethanol, a kind of alcohol. Another is CO2, which can be measured to determine the rate of yeast…

Body Bacteria Exploring the Skin’s Microbial Metropolis by Allison Maclachla, Personally I found this article very engaging yet descriptive. Especially when she explained that not all bacteria are bad for you, and then continues to state some are very helpful. For instance she touches base on Staphylococcus epidermis, and how it shields us by taking up the space that Staphylococcus aureus would otherwise conquer. It’s intriguing to now know that acne (Acne vulgaris) the most common skin…

Probiotics increase immunity and decrease inflammation caused by allergens. There are several strains that help to relieve spring allergies, including Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and Escherichia coli Nissile. Steam Showers - After you have been outdoors, launder your clothes and take a shower. Allergens stick to your skin, hair and clothes, so it is essential that you remove your clothing…

When we think about ice, snow or rain falling from the sky, we imagine some perfect beautiful crystals made of water molecules. Scientist had discovered that those crystals originate because some dust particle, helped with the wind, goes to clouds and then water surround it. Because high in the atmosphere the temperatures are so low, those water molecules freeze giving a structure called ice crystals. Now we know that precipitation from the sky are much more that simple dust and water. They…

absolutely essential to good gut health. They have also been shown to effectively treat autoimmune disease. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, (http://jn.nutrition.org/content/137/3/798S.full) a probiotic strain called Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS) was especially effective in the inhibition of the autoimmune disease,…

In our previous report, 21 we investigated the influence of formulation variables of clotrimazole-loaded cubic liquid crystalline nanoparticles. The composition of chitosan tailored cubic nanoparticles was optimized employing central composite design. The findings of Small angle X-ray scattering analysis confirmed the presence of D and P cubic phases in nanoparticles. Most importantly, considerable improvement in mucin binding was observed upon incorporation of chitosan owing to electrostatic…

intestinal microbes in animal and human subjects. Many trials tried to find out the interaction between the gut microbiota and its host metabolism. They attempted to modulate the dietary to alter different kinds of classical probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifobacterium strains and prebiotic for helping to explore the role of gut microbiota in therapeutic effects of metabolic disorders (18). There are some evidences demonstrated that the gut microbiota can reduce the risk of metabolic…
