Chapter 1 The Problem Introduction Today’s technological innovation and medical advances gave birth to formulation of synthetic drugs used to treat respiratory infections‚ urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ arthritis and other diseases. These pharmaceuticals are costly and to a point‚ inaccessible to many Filipinos. These may also pose adverse effects like nausea‚ dyspnea‚ and diarrhea. Researchers are challenged to produce natural medicines‚ which could be lower in cost and more synergistic

Sulphonamide inhibitors of folate metabolism were developed by Domagz in the 1930s which then followed with the development of the first true antibiotic‚ penicillin in the 1940s.(Wright 2011) Upon this discovery‚ production and distribution of antibiotic drugs increased and within five years antibiotic resistance was distinguished. Not only do antibiotics help save lives but incorrect use of antibiotics exposes

Afterward non- adherent cells were removed by washing with 37°C phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and RPMI1640 medium containing FBS 10%‚ 100 IU/ml penicillin and 100µg/ml streptomycin was added to each well and incubated overnight. No parasite was added to a group of plates that were considered for viability evaluation of macrophage during the study. The next day different concentrations of SKEO (0.1

Technology of World War II Nothing accelerates the development of technology as war. In World War II (WWII)‚ every major country was evolving its technology‚ whether it be the army‚ navy and so on. All countries were stuck in a race to develop the most devastating and efficient technology to win the war. All the technology used in the war had an impact. For example‚ radar helped the Allied Forces win the Battle of Britain against the Axis Powers. Through the devastating effects of WWII‚ it is clear

Approach Considerations Treatment decisions in children with pneumonia are dictated based on the likely etiology of the infectious organism and the age and clinical status of the patient. Antibiotic administration must be targeted to the likely organism‚ bearing in mind the age of the patient‚ the history of exposure‚ the possibility of resistance (which may vary‚ depending on local resistance patterns)‚ and other pertinent history (see Etiology and Clinical Presentation). After initiating therapy

Inhibition of synthesis or damage to peptidoglycan cell wall * E.g. β-lactams e.g. penicillin 2. Inhibition of synthesis or damage to cytoplasmic membrane * Polymyxins and daptomycin 3. Modification in synthesis or metabolism of nucleic acids * Quinolones (inhibit DNA gyrase)‚ Rifampin (inhibits RNA polymerase)

Leptospirosis: It’s Causes‚ Symptoms‚ Complications‚ Diagnosis‚ Prevention and Treatment. I. Introduction Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection affecting both humans and animals. It is acquired through direct contact with the urine of infected animals or by contact with a urine-contaminated environment such as floodwater‚ soil‚ and plants.
