These micro organisms are components of the intestinal flora in animals and humans. Serratia are opportunistic pathogens, healthy humans’ infections being rare1,3. S. marcescens was long time considered a non-pathogenic bacterial species but today is considered an important human pathogen in hospitals which leads to cause a significant agent of nosocomial infections with different severities3,4,5,6,7.…
The Reduction and Prevention of Catheter Acquired Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) CAUTI or catheter acquired urinary tract infections place an especially heavy burden on today’s health care system. CAUTI increase patient complications and extend admission time while reducing the health care institutions income because the care provided for CAUTI is no longer reimbursable. This means that the health care institution owns that CAUTI and all of its associated cost to care for it. This paper…
assess your progress question number 13 chapter 24 The walls and organs of the abdominal cavity are lined with serous membranes. These membranes are very smooth and secrete a serous fluid, which provides a lubricating film between the layers of membranes. The membranes and fluid reduce friction as organs move within the abdomen. The serous membrane that covers the organs is the visceral peritoneum and the one that covers the interior surface of the wall of the abdominal cavity is the parietal…
intermittently colonized with the bacteria (Thomer et al., 2015). Over one million skin and soft tissue infections occur annually in the United States due to S. aureus, and these infections result in approximately 500,000 hospitalizations, over 90,000 cases of bacteremia, and over 30,000 cases of sepsis/endocarditis (Thomer et al., 2015). Each year more than 20,000 people in the United States die of infections related to S. aureus (Thomer et al.,…
practice in order to have a better outcome for preventing secondary infections in inpatients such as CAUTIs? The clinical question for this qualitative article is: Does education of nurses on specific catheter protocols decreases the risk and incidence of urinary tract infections in-patient’s with hip fractures? The Problem The problem that this paper address is weather nurse driven protocol is effective at reducing CAUTIs. Secondary infection such as CAUTIs will and have continue to cost…
To be ethical, in terms of biological research and using new biological technologies, means that science should not offend any groups of people by doing something that angers them. To be ethical means to try and satisfy as many groups as possible, and to try and not anger as many groups as possible. Some advancements in biological technology are truly great, but if they are wrong, the public will oppose them and any discovery will not be taken into action. It is vital to always conduct…
Well, this may be a breather to you, but there are normal conditions that make your dog pee excessively other than having an illness (though we do not rule this reason out). If you notice that your fully housetrained dog starts to urinate frequently in different parts of the house, it is high time for you to check and determine what the problem is all about. Why does my dog pee so much? I have also asked the same questions to myself several times. Why is my dog peeing so much?! It freaked me…
Abstract The urinary tract which includes the kidneys, plays an important role in regulating blood volume, water volume, and concentration of salts in the body. Analyzing urine samples can give a lot of information about the health of the body and kidneys by evaluating characteristics such as pH, color, volume, and specific gravity. These measurements can indicate problems with the body and are very easy to measure. In this experiment, we take 6 collections of urine, 1 every 20 minutes, and…
Poverty, hunger and disease were three of the most fatal beings for mankind, but the deadliest being diseases. Before the 1940s, doctors had no effective management of infections such as gonorrhoea and pneumonia. An illustration of this, found that patients with blood poisoning, caused by cuts or scratches, were left hoping that their immune system could fight it because they would have to choose between amputating and death. This was the case for many because there was no known medicine that…
Symptoms of Candida Overproduction and Treatment The fungus Candida is a form of yeast found in your intestine and mouth in small amounts. The function of this fungus is to help the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients. However, overgrowth of Candida causes the fungus to enter the blood by breaking down the intestine wall. It releases toxic byproducts causing digestive issues, leaky gut and depression. How does Candida overgrowth happen? The bacterium in the gut that is not…
