Velocity of Bacteria and Cells Determine the Need of Antibiotics The first goal was to examine the motion of E. coli bacteria. Excel was used to analyze and record the position, velocity and acceleration of the bacteria. The second goal was to analyze and compare the cell motion of wound healing, neutrophils and E.coli bacteria using ImageJ to determine if a patient needs to take antibiotics to cure his injury based on the velocity of E. coli, neutrophils, and wound healing. Experimental…

Desulfovibrio is gram negative bacteria. There are media that will be useful in isolating this organism. The best option for a gram negative bacteria would be using a selective media specifically MacConkey agar or EMB agar. These agars are used to isolate gram negative bacteria because the crystal violet in the MacConkey agar will not allow the growth of gram positive bacterium making it a good media to isolate Desulfovibrio. If that selective media does not work then another media is to use a…

Hankin performed an interesting experiment to test if the antibacterial ‘substance’ in Ganges and Jamuna was volatile in nature. He heated the Ganges and Jamuna water in an open and a hermatically sealed tube (Hankin, 1896 and Hankin 2011- this is the English version of the original French paper translated by gangagen.com). He found that the antibacterial activity was retained when the water was heated in the sealed tube, but was lost in the open tube. Although the exact temperature and the…

As transdermal delivery is a non-invasive route for the therapeutic materials delivery from the intact skin towards the systemic circulation. And as every square centimeter of the surface of the human skin contains ≈10–70 hair follicles and ≈200–250 sweat glands, hence the skin surface could be a conduit for the delivery of therapeutic agents. Additional benefits of using transdermal route is being a painless delivery method, few side effects, providing a low-frequency of therapy administration,…

Type IV pili are a family of appendage protein filaments that are assembled on the surfaces of many different microorganisms, such as bacteria and archea. The wide range of diverse microorganisms within the type IV pili family indicates that there must be both a common evolutionary origin, as well as a versatile functionality (Giltner, Nguyen and Burrows 2012). The formation of type IV pili occurs when the enzyme PilD, first recognized in the bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa, catalyzes…

Traditionally, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been used for chronic wounds, like non healing diabetic ulcerations or dehisced surgical incisions. NPWT is quite successful for these types of wounds, but recently there has been a trend to use NPWT for burn victims. This paper summarizes a case of 5 patients who were burned in a dust explosion in Taiwan in 2015 and NPWT was used, not only to treat the wounds, but also to facilitate the skin grafting. NPWT was first approved for use by…

Considering Brexpiprazole and its Role in Managing Schizophrenia Introduction This review investigates the use of brexpiprazole, a recently approved antipsychotic, for use within the realm of treatment options for schizophrenia. Considerations such as efficacy, tolerability and safety are explored. Methods The strategies used within this study were initiated by employing the use of placebo, aripiprazole and brexpiprazole groups whereby researchers could compare and contrast them in different…

and state legislatures. Candidates are asked about their political position on various issues, and thus their answers are deemed as indicators of two parties’ ideological platforms. In the analysis of House and Senate elections, Rogowski finds the negative effect of candidates’ ideological gap on voter turnout in a given district. The larger the ideological gap between candidates, the lower the voter turnout, according to his analysis. His conclusion is different from Hetherington and…

the presidential election, all I see are commercials that show negative point about candidates. Often, candidates will make these commercials to make their opponents look bad, and make them seem like the better vote. Often though, the facts in these ads are very untrue and vulgar. Candidates will often comment on opponent’s personal life, family, and past mistakes, which I think is out of bounds. I also feel like these ads, show a negative side of the United States. Other countries may look down…

Dr Laura Huey from the University of Western Ontario, Canada stated during a seminar at DUT that in order to fight the war against whoonga, it is important for the community of Durban to understand the unique features of the local drug markets and its players. Dr Laura then went onto explaining that drugs are not a police problem, but have been made into a police problem. It is in fact a social problem with social causes and social consequences, which the police are now held responsible for. In…
