Troublesome Technology Today, most people own cell phones. Those that do own cell phones may know some disadvantages of owning one. What some people do not know is the disadvantages to cell phone usage is not only that they may freeze up or break, but owning a cell phone had far more significant disadvantages such as health problems, automobile wrecks, and effects today’s children. Cell phone ownership is a source of negative health effects. According to Dr. Agarwal, “electromagnetic waves…

systematic review by Sayegh and Strauch (2014). Bursitis can be classified as non-septic (NSB) or septic (SB). Infection may be secondary to lacerations of the skin although no cause or risk factor may be apparent (Sayegh & Strauch, 2014). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism found in bursal fluid analysis in 26 of 26 studies (Sayegh & Strauch, 2014).…

a. The Wescodyne was the most effective against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The zone of inhibition around the Wescodyne for both bacteria was over 20 mm. Only Wescodyne was able to inhibit both bacteria. E. coli was inhibited by hydrogen peroxide and 70% ethyl alcohol. S. aureus was inhibited by Lysol and Scope. b. The tests that were performed were not effective in distinguishing between bacteriostatic and bactericidal…

Ancient DNA • Summary: Ancient DNA is DNA that has been extracted extinct specimens. It can be used to study evolution and genomic consequences of long term environmental change. We can make species un-extinct by using the ancient DNA and then use this DNA to fertilize an embryo. However, the technology to do this is not available yet as no species have had their full genome sequenced. In addition, it is hard to find a surrogate to create an individual from this DNA. Ancient DNA is used today…

setting, phase one. According to HHS, HAIs in phase one comprise of surgical site infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated events, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and CDIs. Phases two and three emphasis expansion efforts into both outpatient and long-term care facilities. In 2008, the CDC in phase one began prevention and implementation efforts that were evidence-based intervention…

Pneumonia (2012) article went into detail about ventilator associated pneumonia. Hunter defined ventilator associated pneumonia as a nosocomial infection that can be caused by any type of Gram negative bacteria; such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter. The article explained that patients that are affected by ventilator associated pneumonia are usually on a ventilator and more susceptible to it due to lack of immune system;…

naturally in tissues and secretions that are capable of dissolving bacteria, accidentally became the founder of the medicine known today as penicillin by leaving his laboratory a mess before going on vacation. Fleming had been researching staphylococcus aureus, a fairly common…

causes of food poising and gastro-enteritis. Salmonella is a food poising that resulted from touching or eating contaminated foods. Blood poisoning, infections of the lungs, bones, or the heart valve are effects of MRSA (Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), bacteria living in the nose or skin. Flu can cause too many symptoms such as chills, fever, and sore throat, headaches, coughing, and sneezing. It can be passed through air or by touching tainted surfaces. A common transmittable…

Impetigo and Erysipelas are a bacterial- skin infection diseases. They are both caused by hemolytic streptococcus bacteria, also Impetigo is caused by another kind of bacteria which is called staphylococcus aureus. According to Hecht (2017), there are three types of Impetigo - nonbullous, bullous and ecthyma- while Erysipelas has one type only. The former is found in the tropical areas and subtropical (Marks,n.d.). Similarly, Erysipelas is common in hot and humid weather (the international…

both before and after hand washing.” One study that proved this was published in 1999 in the Oxford Journal of Clinical Infectious Disease found that “86% of a volunteer group of healthcare workers with artificial nails had a pathogen such as Staphylococcus aureus, which causes staph infections, or yeast under their nails, compared with 35% of a control group of healthcare workers without artificial nails… After cleaning their hands with soap or gel, 68% of healthcare workers with artificial…
