Essay On Health Of Skin

Skin cancer is a disease that can affect any one. Skin cancer includes many types that can be classified as severe or superficial. Consequently, treatement of skin cancer depends on the degree of severity a person has. In the following paper, we will shed lights on the types of skin cancer and its causes. Finally, we will investigate how to treat the different types of cancer and how to avoid it.

Our formula also contains prebiotics. These guys are what feed the good microbes and help them repopulate. So, while the probiotic is kicking the bad microbes’ butt, our prebiotics, which use a unique combination of Mannan-oligosaccharide (don’t even try to pronounce it) feed the good guys helping them do their job more efficiently.

More than a century ago the notion of microbiota working as a regulator for health and disease was already in use. They realized that consuming large amounts of fermented milk helped with their longevity. This began the foundation of probiotics. However, the oral probiotics that are used today are at a lower amount than what is contained in the colon. After cycling through the digestive system it is

Identifying the microorganism as Gram-positive cocci was only the first step in determining my unknown organism. Numerous other tests were performed to confirm that my unknown organism was indeed Staphylococcus epidermis. The next test performed was the Carbohydrate Fermentation which utilized three different kinds of phenol red broths. One contained glucose, one contained lactose, and the last one contained sucrose. The objective of this test was to determine the ability of the microorganism to ferment a specific carbohydrate. A change in color from red to yellow is produced if the organism is able to utilize the carbohydrate(s) (Lab Handout; Phenol Red Carbohydrate Fermentation Broth). All three of my broths changed color from red to yellow indicating a positive result.

The purpose of this project was to identify the identities of two unknown bacteria in a mixed broth culture by using several separation methods. To separate the organisms, a four-way streak plate technique was used to isolate the two unknown bacteria into separate visible colonies. Then after each colony were clearly isolated; the two unknowns were processed through Gram staining test to determine the Gram stain and morphology. After Gram staining, a carbohydrate test was performed on each unknown to determine if it had glucose, sucrose, or lactose fermentation. The results of the sugar test help determining which biochemical test should be performed next. The Gram positive organism was tested through a carbohydrate fermentation test, then further tested to confirm its identity through an indole and catalase test. The Gram negative organism was tested through carbohydrate fermentation test, then further tested to confirmed its identity through an indole, and TSIA test. After running four biochemical tests, the results conclude that the Gram positive unknown was Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus was identified based on the fermentation results of the glucose test, negative indole test, and a positive catalase production. S. aureus is a Gram positive circular shaped bacterium that is very common in the U.S and is normally found in the nose, respiratory tract, and on the skin. This bacterium is usually the most common cause of infections after injury or surgery.

When reflecting back to experiment 3, Aseptic Technique and Culturing Microbes, I realized the large amount of microorganisms that can be found in everyday life. Many different types are found with in the human body. Theses experiments focused on two types of bacteria. First was Staphylococcus epidermidis, found on the skin, and second was Lactobacillus acidophilus, found in the gastrointestinal tract. Both have similar needs for growth when it comes to temperature, however, different growth environments are used.

Although probiotics do not kill Candida albicans they do help to repopulate the intestinal system with beneficial microorganisms. By repopulating the intestinal system with these beneficial microorganisms the population of candida is kept at bay. Today probiotics are found in many foods. The most well known food that contains probiotics is probably yogurt. Eating plain unsweetened yogurt may be a good way for many to consume probiotics daily. Unfortunately, if you are battling candidiasis you are probably following the candida diet and while some can tolerate yogurt on the diet many cannot. In this case supplements may be

Streptococcus is becoming more resistant to antibiotics. Over a period of three years from September 1, 1993 to August 31, 1996 a study was done on children suffering from the resistant group A streptococcus (Dr. Arditi, 1999). This new group A strain caused children pneumococcal meningitis. Researches looked at eight different hospitals in the United States and one hundred and eighty cases within these three years. The study was designed to look at clinical presentation, hospital course, and the outcome from the children being cured. As they watched and monitored the children's progress on the different antibiotics used to cure streptococcus. Also the researchers has to take into consideration if the streptococcus was becoming resistant, which antibiotics were given as treatment, and from those antibiotics which streptococcus became

diff. This pathogen outgrows gut commensals and releases toxins. These toxins attack the intestinal lining, causing ulcerative colitis. Since this disorder is causing many health concerns throughout hospitals and nursing homes, there are many trying to find ways to treat it. Scientists believe ulcerative colitis can be treated by introducing a new microbiota to afflicted people. Fecal microbiota transplantation or FMT is becoming increasingly accepted as a safe and effective way to treat this. FMT’s or ‘poop’ pills introduce brand new microbiota commensals from healthy individuals to those with colitis. (3) Other ways could be from multiple donors, and transplantation of one owns microbiota, extracted when in good health. Although this is still not standard therapy for the individuals, it brings to light the ability of a healthy gut microbiota in keeping individuals healthy.(4) Everyones gut microbiota is different and not all treatments will affect everyone

“Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white silvery, or red patches of skin.” (WebMD, 2012) To uneducated individuals, they may look at a person with Psoriasis and think to stay away from them as it might be contagious. This disorder is not contagious, but it does affect a person with Psoriasis to go through social exclusion and discrimination. A mistaken trigger in the immune system is said to be the one of the causes of rapid production of skin cells in the body. Patients with Psoriasis produce new skin cells between 2-6 days. That is a little over four times less than the time they are normally produced, which is 21-28days. “Psoriasis affects approximately 3% of

I chose my topic because I have a skin condition, and I thought it might be a good idea to research different skin disorders. I have eczema on my foot and it was a very irritable skin disorder to go through. But thanks to the miracle of modern day medicine, all I'm left with is a scar and it is barely noticeable. Since that's my skin disorder I will begin with eczema and work my way down to pressure sores.

1. Light-colored skin and a history of sun exposure is the main cause of this type of cancer. Men are affected more often than women.

Streptomyces is a well-known genus of the Actinomycetes family of bacteria with a unique morphology and metabolism, which lends to its ability to produce more than half of the antibiotics that are used in agriculture and

Probiotics are ingestable microorganisms which gives the consumer a beneficial effect. First coined by the late eli Metchnikoff probiotics are described to be microorganisms which are ingested in small amount to increase the diversity of both flora and fauna inside the human body this reaction in turn affects the adaptation abilities for the human body to react to different surroundings, digest different things, or just improve the antibody or the mechanism that already exists in the human body.

Our skin is the largest part of our body and needs constant care and miniaturization to achieve a healthy glow. First thing to healthy-looking skin is maintaining an internal regimen; drinking lots of water and eating fruits and veggies will keep skin nourished, moisturized and blemish free.
