Antibiotics Resistance Scare The misuse of antibiotic has led to the increase of antibiotics resistance in individuals. The public believes that medical professionals are to blame for the overuse of antibiotics but the agricultural sector should share some of the blame too. In the article by Jen Christensen “Pediatricians want farmers to use fewer antibiotics” (2015), her objective was to regulate the amount of antibiotics given to animals because of the after effect of consuming meat by humans…

infection. Nick Janson had a weeping wound and the surrounding area was inflamed and painful. In addition, he showed signs of being Febrile and Tachycardic which suggest infection, and was later confirmed by a wound swab. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), is a common infection that is caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, and is closely linked to the healthcare setting (National Health and Medical Research Council [NHMRC], 2010). Mr Janson had an open wound that was left…

Aromatic plants bear essential oils which are fragrant and so are named ‘Aromatic’. These plants retain their fragrant components in specialised cells and tissues of organs even after drying. Oil may be present in external glands as epidermal cells or their modification such as ‘Secretory Hair’ or may be present internally throughout the plant forming Schizogenous formation which on dissolution of surrounding cells forms Schizolysogenous gland which further grow into long canals. Secretion such…

When people think of the “end of the world,” they usually imagine a world-ending meteor, rising tides that reach up into the tops of skyscrapers, or any other disaster that the creative minds at Hollywood have already made into a motion picture event. Yet, one apocalyptic event rarely pops into the minds of people when they imagine the end of mankind as we know it: superbugs. They are not giant insects, but rather, something much scarier. They are antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are unable to…

It is rare to find someone that is a master of their trade, but when it came to saving lives through disease research Louis Pasteur is one. Throughout his entire life he stayed around educational institutions and universities. His career was very long and consisted of lots of research and much time spent in laboratories. Described as a man who would do anything for his trade, at times he was even said to put his life at risk to do his research. Countless lives have been saved due to Pasteur’s…

Introduction: The purpose of the tests (culture media, motility, enzymes, etc.) we preform on the numerous bacteria in lab is to show any biological or chemical characteristics of the bacteria that may help it survive or adapt in the wild, how it may be useful or hazardous to humans, and use as general knowledge to differentiate bacteria from each other. In the Culture Media test we can use solid and liquid media to grow multiple bacteria in lab. It can help us determine what processes the…

or understanding of the term. It is mainly a bacteria that has now become resistant to any antibiotics. The most common area that you will find bacteria is in a hospital. One of the most dangerous bug out there is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Many agencies, hospitals have realize the best solution to kill the bacteria is to conduct research. We failed to fully understand how important for many researchers to conduct medical practice in the basic common medication for…

Nurses are in a key position to implement enquiry based practice in the clinical setting, even though many are not trained to do so. Therefore, the best way to bring new research findings into their practice is to train all nurses how to do so. Evidence based practice (EBP) is the clinical decision making process which is based upon the best available evidence, new research findings, clinical experience and patient preferences ( AHPRA, 2016). Optimal nursing care cannot be provided just by the…

ABSTRACT The reactivity of acid base cements forming hydroxyapatite (HA) such as, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (DCPD). Amorphous calcium phosphates, prepared by precipitation from supersaturated solutions, can also react to form apatitic cements since they are thermodynamic unstable with respect to HA and have a setting reaction more independent of particle size. Calcium phosphate cement containing an antibiotic can be used for filling bone defects and to…

to this question by stating, “Hand washing is the number one strategy for infection control risk management.” He then continues to state that screening takes place for infectious diseases when patients come in through Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) screening, vitals, and analysis, such as urinary tract infections (UTI) (Dr. John Mutziger, D.O., personal communication, November 4, 2015). On the other hand, Dr. Arnold says that the first step is to identify infectious diseases…
