REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Foot odor is a disease which is scientifically known as bromhidrosis- sweaty and smelly feet. While neither painful nor contagious, foot odor causes unmitigated social suffering to those who are burdened with it. Under normal conditions each of your feet produces half a pint of sweat by means by means of some 20,000 sweat glands. In most people, this perspiration evaporates. In people with bromhidrosis, however , more sweat is produced, and it doesn’t evaporate as easily, which will result to odoriferous feet. In the presence of bacteria, these sweaty secretions break down, generating a foul smell . Obviously washing away the bacteria and drying very carefully can temporarily make your feet

The evergreen leaves (technically single leaflets) are alternate, aromatic, broad-oval, dark-green, glossy on the upper surface, yellowish-green beneath, 1 1/2 to 3 in (4-7.5 cm) long, faintly toothed at the apex, with short, narrowly-winged petioles. The richly and sweetly fragrant flowers, having 5 elliptic-oblong, pure-white petals, are about 1 in (2.5 cm) wide and borne singly or in 2's or 3's terminally or in the leaf axils near the branch tips. The showy fruits are round or oblate and to 1 3/4 in (4.5 cm) wide, with very aromatic, orange-red peel, glossy, and dotted with numerous small oil glands; tender, thin, easily-removed, sweet, and edible. The pulp, in 6 to 10 segments, is orange, very juicy, highly acid, seedless or with 1 to 5 small, obovoid seeds, green within The calamondin is believed native to China and thought to have been taken in early times to Indonesia and the Philippines. It became the most important Citrus juice source in the Philippine Islands and is widely grown in India and throughout southern Asia and Malaysia. It is a common ornamental dooryard tree in Hawaii, the Bahamas, some islands of the West Indies, and parts of Central
Wound odour is often a complication of bacterial infection and the presence of infection explained why Mrs. Smith had experienced a worsening of the odour in recent weeks (Hack, 2003).
Objective: To evaluate the bio-debridement effect of maggot therapy for treating chronically infected lesions. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of 25 patients with diabetic foot ulcers and 18 patients with pressure ulcers after spinal
Fruit: The seed-head (25-100 cm long) is large, plume-like, feathery in appearance and initially white, cream or silvery in colour.
Toenail fungus causes may be due to moist environments especially in shoes, bathrooms, pools, cuts in toes, and unhealthy immune response.
Perhaps the one part of our body we take for granted is our feet. Most people are on their feet all day long, and they can eventually become a source of pain and discomfort. While we don't often ignore pain in other areas of our bodies, our feet tend to get neglected. A podiatrist can help with overall foot health as well as treat any pain or discomfort a person may be having.
Stems are long and weak, square in cross section, prickly (spiny) with glands on young parts. Leaves are matt, mid-green, deeply veined and sometimes hairy. The lamina is pear or oval shaped, pointed to broadly-rounded apex, rounded base, round or regular toothed margins with wrinkled and strigose (sharp oppressed rigid bristly hairs) upper surface. When the leaves are crushed, a strong and distinctive odour is exuded. Flower heads have many smaller flowers. Each flower is tubular-shaped and have 4 spreading lobes (petals), changing colour with age. The colours would be a various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red or pink. Fruit is a berry or drupe arranged in clusters. The fruit is green and becomes purple-black when mature. This plant takes over huge areas usually in moist gullies, along drainage lines and around wetlands. It can be found scrambling high into tree tops. The intense growth of the weed restricts any plant to grow beneath it or around it. This results in plant growth being restricted and not allowing plantation to develop.
Approximately after a year, most of the flesh in the foot is dead, due to the lack of blood circulation (Chinese Foot Binding). Animal blood and herb solutions were also used for soaking feet, causing the flesh to fall off. In addition with gangrene, if the bandages were too tight, could cause blood poisoning, or sepsis. Sepsis is caused by a critical infection resulting inflammation throughout the entire body and is caused by an infection, which can be due to a mixture of pus, sweat, ingrown toenails. (Cite).
Ewww! What could that awful smell be? Why it is the center of an anthropologist’s attention, of course! More specifically, it is the decaying remains of a human. Before we get too in depth though, let us start with the history. Thomas Dwight (1843-1911) is honored with the title of the Father of Forensic Anthropology in the United States. He was the first to write articles and essays on human skeletal identification. In addition, he also conducted lectures. He was dedicated to researching was to determine the physical characteristics and information of a person without using the bones from their arms or legs. He used bones in the skull to determine the victim's age at death, and the joints of longer bones to determine the gender. Since then, anthropology has grown to be so much more. Now anthropologists are able to discover a person’s height, diet, weight, age, and sex merely from deciphering their skeletal remains. This field allows scientists to not only identify victims, but it also aids in identifying if they were truly victims in the first
Foot care is an important part of your health. Noticing and addressing any potential problems early is the best way to prevent future foot problems.
Problems in your feet due to poor blood flow or damaged nerves that may lead to serious infections, and in severe cases, amputation
Description: Erect, medium-sized tree to 15 m high with a green trunk and dark green pinnate leaves. Very fine leaflets. Golden ball-shaped flowers in spring.
In the article Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) May Provide Antidepressant Activity in Anxious, Depressed Humans: An Exploratory Study, it summarizes how the Depression Research Unit from the University of Pennsylvania conducted a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study on examining the effects of oral chamomile as an antidepressant for anxiety and depression diagnosed patients (Amsterdam and others 2012). The results were that there was a greater reduction for all the participants on chamomile vs placebo by .05 on the HAM-D standards (Amsterdam and others 2012). There were also clinically meaningful scores of .062 less on current depression and .06 for past diagnosed depression (Amsterdam and others 2012).
Chiquita is blamed for the actions of two terrorist organizations that extorted money from the company. Victims and their families of the attacks performed by these two terrorist organizations are looking for compensation from Chiquita, claiming that the company is responsible for making those attacks happen. Chiquita has to make a decision whether or not to take the responsibility for the actions performed by the two organizations.
With the rising temperatures of late spring and summer, the potential for your room-temperature produce to spoil increases. In food manager certification MN classes, we often discuss the dangers of rotting food. Rotting produce attracts insects, can cause bacteria to grow on countertops and in storage containers and can create a cross-contamination hazard.
They have diminished inflammatory response even when extreme soft tissue and bone infection are present. Identification of foot infections in the patient with diabetes mellitus requires vigilance because the signs of infection may not be present ( Baranoski and Ayello, 2003,p.327). The most common bacteria found in non-limb threatening infection are Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. These infections should be treated with oral antibiotics. If the limb is threatened with the infection, parenteral antibiotics and surgical debridement of necrotic tissue needs to be executed. Most limb threatening infections are polymicrobial. Staphylococcus aureus, group B atreptococci, Enterococcus, and facultative Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens involved in these types of
