Many bacterias are present without us realizing it. Bacteria that are present and ready to reproduce can cause problems in our daily lives at any rate. Mascara users are at risk from contaminants that may exist within their mascara wands or tube of mascara. Without proper care, bacterias will grow within the walls of the tube and cause many issues to users in the long run due to reapplying the product on a daily basis. “That mascara wand can do more than just make your lashes longer; it can…

pose no risks to people. And those that do cause disease usually can be killed with antibiotic drugs. Sometimes, however, harmful bacteria evolve ways to “laugh at” antibiotics — survive as if the poisons were not even there. This so-called drug resistance make infections hard, if not impossible, to treat. How bacteria learn to resist killer drugs normally is invisible. But scientists have just unveiled a new tool that lets them watch it happen, right before their eyes. “As someone who’s…

Cellulitis is a spreading bacterial infection that occurs just below the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It's characterized by redness, heat, and pain. The word Cellulitis means inflammation of the cells. This disease can be seen in primary-care settings such as long-term care, home care, and daycare settings. If left untreated, Cellulitis can lead to hospitalization and visits to the emergency room. Those with weak immune systems and blood circulation problems are more likely to develop this…

Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that have no nucleus. Often times these forms of bacteria usually don’t need much to live and can reproduce rather quickly. These bacteria can cause a lot of major diseases and the only way to get around these problems is to maintain a perfect hygiene. Our hands especially, which are constantly filled with bacteria that can cause major harm to the body. Hospitals are easily considered one of the places with a lot of bacteria and infectious diseases.…

Opening: Urinary tract infections have been known to be causing a lot of trouble in daily activities for both gender. Nevertheless, in this particular article, we will only find out more about urinary tract infection in men. So, what is urinary tract infection, what are the risks, as well as the preventives and treatments of it? The article below will give further information on this matters. Body: What is a urinary tract infection? A urinary tract infection is the consequence of the bacteria…

It is important to differentiate GABHS infections in chil- dren. The antibiotic therapy should be started within 9 days after the onset of infection to prevent potential cardiac and renal complications. It is not possible to make a diagnosis of GABHS infection by clinical examination alone. Throat swabs are necessary to identify Streptococcus (Fig. 3.1.1). Gener- ally, a cherry red tongue and perioral pallor suggest GABHS infection. In infectious mononucleosis, the cervical lymph nodes are…

The lifesaving drug do not work as well as they once did”. Our body gets used to it and the surviving bacteria evolve and pass down their genes generation to generation. “treating common infections becomes more difficult”. Right now the season is winter, and this is when we are most prone to biotic infections. Antibiotics “can cause more harm than good”. It risks us getting antibiotic-resistant in the future. In an article “pencrtration of brain abscess by systemically administered antibiotics”…

Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) By Susha Cheriyedath, MSc White blood cells (WBCs) in our body help fight infections. There are various types of WBCs and each has its own way of fighting microbial infections. The most important WBC is called the neutrophil. The number of neutrophils in the blood is expressed as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and it measures the percentage of neutrophils in the differential WBC count. The ANC of a healthy individual falls in the range of 2,500 to 6,000 per…

For centuries people and physicians have been observing the color of expulsed phlegm to determine the condition of their body's health. Although medical science has through research studies determined otherwise, as we cover in our article below, the habit continues to modern times. Be it as it is, there are several color ranges of phlegm which we list below including: Clear sputum White or gray Green or dark yellow Brown Pink Blood or black Clear sputum The most…

1. Introduction and Literature Review 1.1 Introduction: More than 200 different species of bacteria normally live on the skin (Benbow, 2010) and an open wound provides a moist, warm and nutritious environment perfect for microbial colonisation and proliferation (Young, 2012). When one or more microorganisms multiply in the wound, local and systemic responses occur in the host, which can lead to infection and a subsequent delay in healing (Angel et al., 2011). Cutting (2010) mentioned that…
