THE ROLE OF DEBRIDEMENT IN WOUND HEALING OF PATIENTS WITH DIABETES FOOT ULCERS (REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS) INCIDENT As a registered nurse with over 10 years of clinical practice experience in various field of nursing including caring for patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), I was concerned with rise in the numbers of DFUs cases resulting into higher rates of amputation, disabilities and mortality . DFU are caused by a combination of peripheral neuropathy and vascular diseases resulting from

Mycotic aneurysm is a focal dilation of an infected arterial wall. This uncommon disease follows an aggressive and unpredictable clinical course with significant mortality, and presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of mycotic aneurysms. Historical Perspective Virchow first described a saccular outpoutching along an arterial wall corresponding to an embolic source in 1847 [1]. Mycotic aneurysms were

Identifying the Unknown Bacteria: Bacillus cereus Brittany Moy Coastline Community College Abstract Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, facultative aerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that is widely distributed among the environment. Introduction The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria

Benefits of Immunotherapy from advances in immunology and recombinant DNA technology. Immunotherapy is a form of medical treatment intended to stimulate or restore the ability of the immune system to fight infection and disease. This can be by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response. Immunotherapies designed to elicit or amplify an immune response are classified as activation immunotherapies, while those that reduce or suppress immune response are suppression immunotherapies. Active

Information technology is a rapidly growing part of today's society. It affects everyone's life in many aspects. Every human endeavor is influenced by information technology and the increasing rate at which what it can perform includes. One area of human endeavor that information technology has greatly influenced is the practice of medicine, specifically veterinary medicine. Not only has veterinary medicine been influenced by information technology, it has also been enhanced by it. The degree to

Effect of Osmotic Stress and Temperature on Microbial Growth BIO 3400-002L – Microbiology Lab 1 Effect of Osmotic Stress and Temperature on Microbial Growth Luiz Felipe Isidoro ABSTRACT Evolution allowed primitive forms of life to develop proteins and enzymes that made it possible for life to evolve under environments with hostile conditions, such as high salt and heat. More specifically, some bacteria selected genes that code for peptides with stronger intermolecular forces, coping

Abstract Dairy food staff such as soft cheese,cream cheese,raw milk,sour cream,yoghurt and probiotic yoghurt products can be a rich source of diverse lactic acid bacteria.The objective of this lab practical was to isolate lactic acid bacteria(LAB) form raw milk,establishment of pure cultures of LAB,identify LAB and phage recovery and enumeration of recoverd phage.Raw milk was chosen as a sample so as to have a more positive result.To identify bacteria Lab isolated from raw milk,biochemical,morphological

Introduction Tuberculosis, simply referred to as TB, is an infectious disease predominantly affecting the lungs.1 TB is manifested in parts of the body that are rich in both blood and oxygen. As such, the infection may also be present in the spine, brain and kidneys.2The specific bacterium responsible for causing TB is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, also referred to as Tubercle Bacillus. Robert Koch demonstrated this discovery in his 1882 publication on TB.3 The transmission of TB occurs through the
