1. Describe the mode of actions of the drugs that interfere with protein synthesis. Drugs that interfere with protein synthesis are derived from various actinomycetes species Streptomyces and Micromonospora. They inhibit protein synthesis by binding to one of the ribosomal subunits. Thus, disrupting protein synthesis as the ribosomes can no longer produce proteins. 2. Name and describe the actions of the aminoglycoside subgroup. Aminoglycosides are composed of one or more amino sugars and an

Selma Hasic Midterm Dr.Banks BRONCHITIS Bronchitis is the inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the lungs. The thin mucus lining of these airways can become irritated and swollen; the cells that make up the lining may leak fluids in response to the inflammation. Bronchitis most often occurs during the cold and flu season usually coupled with an upper respiratory infection. Bronchitis can be divided

Guillain-Barré syndrome, also known by its abbreviation GBS, is a rare and potentially fatal disorder in which the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. The primary role of the peripheral nervous system is to connect the central nervous system to other parts of the body, such as organs, muscles, and skin. Since the almost complete eradication of poliomyelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome has become the most frequent cause of acute flaccid paralysis (Gueler et al. 2004). The incidence of

Although there have been significant improvements in identifying and understanding the mechanisms of diseases, many disorders cannot be linked to a specific cause. Guillain - Barré syndrome is currently identified as an idiopathic autoimmune disorder which can cause ascen ding paralysis to include the central nervous system. Similarities of incidence of Guillain Barré syndrome were observed in the 1800’s giving this disease a significant spot in medical history. However, there is still a substantial

responds by attacking.3 This causes the alveoli to inflame, turn red, and fill up with fluid and pus, which are the symptoms of pneumonia.3 There are three common bacteria that cause pneumonia – Streptococcus pneumonia, Legionella pneumophilia, and Mycoplasma pneumonia.3 Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus are the most common

Croup: A Common Upper Respiratory Tract Infection Introduction Croup accounts for 15% of clinic and ED visits for an upper respiratory tract infection and is the most common cause of acute stridor. Most often croup occurs in children ages 6-36 months of age but can be seen in older children up to age 6. Males are more prone to croup than females. Croup usually occurs in early winter and presents to the ED from 10:00PM to 4:00AM. Hospitalizations from croup usually are between 2-5% with 1% of those

Sex education is the learning of various topics associated to sex and sexuality while exploring beliefs and values pertaining to those topics therefore gaining skills needed to manage ones sexual health. It is an approach utilized in establishing a substructure when it comes to the navigation of ones sexual relationship. Sex education has become a tendentious topic between parents and teachers due to the lack of proper education of the topic amongst the younger generation. The younger generation

1. Mesophile- an organism that prefers moderate temperature. Acidophile- bacteria that can handle acidic levels of pH. Psychrophile- an organism that is cold loving. Halophile- a bacteria that can handle large salt concentration. Thermophile- an organism that has a warm- loving preferred temperature range to. Psychrotrophs- an organism that can grow well at refrigerator temperatures and can spoil foods. Not slowed by refrigeration. 2. An Aerotolerant Anaerobe- can grow in oxygen if present

higher risk. Such as those with systemic lupus erythematous (Mayo Clinic, 2011). Infectious causes of Stevens-Johnson syndrome include: • Pneumonia • Herpes • Influenza • HIV • Diphtheria • Typhoid • Hepatitis (Mayo Clinic, 2011) Infection with Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is most common cause of community acquired pneumonia requiring possible admission to the ICU and is also cited as most common cause for children to develop Stevens - Johnson syndrome (Cooper, 2012). Clinical manifestations include fever

Abstract: A review of an article that gives details about the concerning health issues of Egrets a class of white feathered birds with long black legs and researched information of how diseases in birds can create a huge effect on the health of humans. It discusses their research methods and experimentation used to conduct evidence for the host of bacterial diseases in the Egret bird population can contribute to arthritis and its possibility to spread to other bird types as well. In the beginning
