Is It Safe To Go To A Pedicure Spa? For the Science Fair, my question will be, “Is it safe to go to pedicure spas?”. To answer my question, I will test the bacteria levels at pedicure stations in local salons. I will get permission from the salons where I plan to obtain the samples and identify them only as anonymous sources. I will go to local business establishments and collect samples from the pedicure stations using materials such as petri dishes, sterilized swabs and other research…

Respiratory infections are a major global health burden. The emergence and spread of drug-resistant respiratory tract pathogens, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has aggravated the current situation. High dose delivery of drugs to the lung using a dry powder inhaler (DPI) is an emerging approach to combat drug-resistant local infections. To achieve high dose delivery, highly aerosolizable powders are required. We hypothesized that co-spray-drying kanamycin, a hydrophilic hygroscopic…

I have been a radiation therapist for 29 years and I have met and bonded with a lot of patients over the years. Each day I’m amazed at what I learned from them. One courageous woman once told me she was prepared to die. Her children were raised and doing well on their own. She felt they had good morels and work ethics that gave them meaningful jobs. She said she finished her most meaningful job and was ready for her fate because she knew her family would be fine. When she told me this she…

corners- 1) Agent, that causes the disease; 2) Host, or organism that harbors the diseases; 3) Environment, or external factors that causes or allows for the disease transmission. In the case of TB disease, the agent is the Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and sometimes Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), M. africanum. M. canetii and M. caprae. The host factors are low immunity, poor nutrition, and co-infection or concurrent disease (e.g. HIV). The environmental factors are crowded conditions, poor…

treatments. In her past history, she had an older sibling, who was a known case of CGD, but she had received the routine vaccination, including BCG and had developed BCG-adenitis at the age of 8 months old for which Investigations were negative for mycobacterium tuberculosis and she was prescribed prophylactic dose of trimethoprim-sulfametoxazol, but not any anti-fungal agent. Since last month she developed a productive cough, unresponsive to oral antibiotic therapy. On admission she had…

HLTIN301C Assignment Q5a+b need answering 1. List and give a brief description of the four main groups of microorganisms. • Bacteria – A single celled organism that thrives in diverse environments. There are 5 groups that bacteria can be divided into (according to shape): bacilli, cocci, filamentous, spirilla and vibrio. Some are beneficially good for the body and others can be parasitic and produce toxins that can cause disease or death. • Fungi – A single celled or multicellular organism…

The 1918 “Spanish flu” Pandemic was caused by an avian-like influenza virus that gained the ability for efficient and sustained human-to-human transmission and then spread globally, killing 20-50 millions. Fortunately, viruses with pandemic potential are rare occurrences and ongoing surveillance of human and avian viruses is being done globally in preparedness for an influenza pandemic. Vaccines and anti-viral drugs may be available, if needed and time permits. Both kinds of therapies have…

based on a close analysis of the treatment group 2 reactions, the poor environmental factors resulted in a malnourished look for both groups. However, it was fatal for group 1 due to the factor that they were also artificially infected of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb), which resulted in the demise of the four rabbits in this…
