Health Observatory Data 2014) , however the true number is likely to be far higher as there are many greatly affected locations which have poor or nonexistent data. Vibrio cholera is currently treated by the use of oral antibiotics coupled with rehydration therapy however the bacteria are now developing resistance and new treatments must be produced in order to prevent further epidemics and unnecessary deaths. This essay will discuss the pathogenesis of Vibrio cholera bacteria along with antibiotic

“Is it in you?’’ Gatorade Without Gatorade would it is safe to have long hour practices? Gatorade, the history, science, and technology that saved athletes from dehydration. The history of Gatorade starts in 1965 when University of Florida’s assistant football coach Dwayne Douglas question Florida’s kidney disease specialist Robert Cade about why the players lost so much weight during practices and games, went to the bathroom so little. Cade then directed Florida’s College of Medicine’s renal and

Introduction Qadri, Svennerholm, Faruque, & Sack, (2005) states that Cholera is a highly contagious infection, which is deemed to be severe once contracted. This is the case since it has been considered as among the dangerous diseases currently, and which has been aligned with a variety of worldwide epidemics experienced in the near past. The disease sprang in 1961, where it was first experienced in Indonesia, and spread to other nations around the globe. According to WHO (2002), in the 21st century

a regular level of 16 mg/dL, yet his creatinine level remained at a high level of 1.4. His ratio also returned to normal. The sodium level in his body was somewhat low, as well as low chloride level. With an elevated creatinine level even after rehydration,

Pathogenesis The intestinal tract is responsible for the secretion and reabsorption of fluids and electrolytes, handling approximately 6,500 mL of fluid / day in an adult. Of this fluid only 2,000 mL to 3,000 mL comes from fluid consumption. The remaining portion comes from a combination of the foods we eat, gastric, pancreatic, biliary, and upper intestinal secretions. (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003) In acute gastroenteritis the re-absorptive capacity of the gastrointestinal

Appearance and Color Color is a major quality attribute in dried food products. In order to facilitate the comparison of color and appearances of the samples, a digital picture was taken from each dried sample. Figure 5 shows the pictures of the pretreated with citric acid solution, blanched and control samples. The slices treated with citric acid provided better color for drying. It could be concluded that the general appearance and color of the dried potato slices were preserved by treating with

Rotavirus is an infection that contaminates the bowels, creating an inflammation of the bowels and stomach.

Touching contaminated objects or surface will get you infected such as, putting your hands in your mouth or having contact with someone who is already infected. And Contaminating foods or liquids can also transmit the virus to other

regimen: 15ml/kg intravenous fluid to be given over 1hour.Repeat if the child improves. If the child fails to improve consider septic shock. • If the child has no signs of shock and is passing several watery stools assume some dehydration and use oral rehydration salts solution with reduced osmolarity and added potassium. • Treatment regime: 5ml /kg every 30minutes for the first 2hours; 5ml/kg/hr for the next 4-10 hours. ELECTROLYTE

1. Background Organisms are exposed to different kinds of environmental stresses during their life cycle. To cope up with environment assaults, plants and animals undergo some homeostasis alterations during somatic growth and heritable (transgenerational) gene expression modifications. The heritable changes can occur without any changes in base sequences and is commonly known as epigenetics. Molecular mechanisms of epigenetic modification includes DNA methylation, histone modification (methylation

Produced by the bacteria, vibrio cholerae that creates a toxin that affects the absorption of water in the small intestine, Cholera is an infectious disease. The majority of the bacteria is wiped out by gastric acid when ingested, while the surviving bacteria settle in the small intestine and begin making the toxin that produces the symptoms of Cholera. The toxin created by the bacteria, Vibrio Cholerae, is a exotoxin. Vibrio Cholerae is a member of the Vibrionaceae family of curved gram-negative
