The article, Consumption of Sweetened, Dried Cranberries may reduce UTI incidence in Susceptible Women, tested twenty women with a history of recurrent UTIs (at least 3 in the past year) when given informed consent. The number of subjects that were chosen was based on achieving a numerical power of 80% for each of the two tests. These two tests being, a UTI free status and changes in the E.Coli strain diversity.

There was a two week washout of antibiotics that was required before conducting the study however women taking prophylactic
Although this is technically classified as a sugar, simple sugars of this sort have been shown in studies to actually help kill infections. D-Mannose has been studied for use in treating UTIs and found to help. Xylitol is a similar simple sugar that has been shown in other studies to help kill infection. Adding these to your diet can help reduce the odds of coming down with another urinary tract infection.

This paper will be focused specifically on the production of Driscoll’s red raspberries. I will be looking at their supplier Reiter Affiliated Companies, the labor conditions, wages, and difference between the conventional and organic raspberries. There has also been a movement to change the definition of organic and alternative foods so that it also includes the labor conditions. Therefore, there will be clearer difference between organic foods and nonorganic other than just environmental and sustainable differences between the two. The goal is to describe the production and process of distributing raspberries from the time they are planted until they are pick and then distributed in stores.
Food could serve as the source of E.coli that can lead to urinary tract infection.

There’s inconsistent support for using cranberry juice or cranberry extract and probiotics to prevent UTI. Lastly, a clinician should ask the patient if she’s experiencing postmenopausal symptoms of urogenital atrophy. Hormone waning in postmenopausal women results in thinning of the vaginal and urethral mucosa, disruption of the normal vaginal flora, and increased risk for UTIs (Head, 2008). She can use vaginal lubricant sold over-the-counter to help with her dryness. If she is not satisfied with the lubricant, the clinician can suggest and prescribe low-dose vaginal estrogen therapy. It has been shown to reduce dyspareunia, improve vaginal dryness, and restore vaginal pH and normal vaginal cytology (Goldstein, 2010). Hormone treatment should be based on minimizing risks to the

Future studies should concentrate on introducing intravenous antibiotics to pre-hospital setting, which would dramatically decrease the time interval to administration of antibiotics. However, safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness would need to be taken into account through conducting randomized controlled trials to find out the effect on reducing delay, infection and occurrence of adverse effects

As a leader in the fruit industry, National Cranberry Cooperative (NCC) is ready to take on some changes in order to increase efficiency in its operation. The entire process flow by which cranberries enter, move, and exit Receiving Plant No. 1 (RP1) can be improved by tweaking certain stages of the overall operation. Such improvements will reduce the expensive overtime costs that have been incurred and reduce the waiting time for inbound delivery trucks, hence, enabling the plant operate at more normal business hours and increase the overall profitability of NCC.
