Microbiome studies have led to surprising discoveries, such as the role of the microbial flora in promoting or preventing obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic rhinosinusitis, skin diseases, and many other diseases [2-6]. The American Gut Project (americangut.org) has analyzed the fecal flora of over 3,000 volunteers. This project has revealed that a person’s diet, age, exercise level, a...

Bacterial flora of various strains was isolated from sputum and in some cases from BAL fluid of 75 patients with obstructive pulmonary disease experiencing dyspnea symptoms accompanying infections of respiratory tract. Among strains recognized traditionally as pathogenic in respiratory tract, we also isolated various strains typically called "normal oropharyngeal flora", "physiologic" or "non-p...

We determined the influence of a new quinolone, DU-6859a, and two oral carbapenems, CS-834 and L-084, on the rat and mouse caecal microflora. The caecum-skin fistula-implanted rats and conventional mice were given oral antimicrobials at doses of 30 mg/kg bid for 5 days. DU-6859a generated a marked decrease in the numbers of caecal flora except for enterococci. CS-834 and L-084 had little impact...

Probiotic supplements transform the intestinal microbial flora and enhancing gut and immune function. The intestinal microbial flora the gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria are integral to the protection of the body from infection, and maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. The microbial flora with intestinal epithelial cells and immune tract, skin and uro-genital tract. The exercise highlig...

conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (tdds) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. these systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...

The study examined the Economic and Environmental Factors Influencing Pesticides Handling Usage in Danko/Wasagu Local Government area of Kebbi State, Nigeria. Structured Questionnaires were used to obtained information from respondents. Descriptive statistics comprising frequency distribution tables percentages, Mean Ranking for Data Analysis. result showed that majority respondents (90%) male ...

The technique of medical micro needling has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, to increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s healing cascade. This author theorized, that micro needling platelet rich plasma (PRP) into the dermis would intensify the natural wound cascade because of the high concentration o...

INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus lugdunensis (S. lugdunensis) is a coagulase-negative, Gram-positive bacterium that can be isolated as a component of normal skin flora in humans. However, more recently, it has also been documented as a culprit in skin and soft tissue infections. We describe the clinical features of five individuals with S. lugdunensis-associated skin infections. We review the charac...

background and objectives: in this study, the proteolysis and lipolysis of poosti cheese produced from raw sheep milk in mountainous eastern regions of iran were investigated during 90 days of ripening. materials and methods: sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for proteolysis (sds-page) and gas chromatography (gc) for free fatty acids (ffas) were applied to investigate th...
