As an example of Echinacea’s anti-inflammation properties, the aforementioned species, E. purpurea, has demonstrated the ability to treat acne. In a lab experiment, it was able to inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the acne-causing Propionibacterium (Sharma et al., 2011). This finding is reinforced by a previous study in which Propionibacterium was found to be extremely sensitive to extracts of Echinacea (Sharma et al., 2008). In addition, E. purpurea may have potential use in treating the inflammation of the cervix. A common yet serious effect of this inflammation is preterm child birth, and current treatments are considered unsafe.
-red clover flowers have a substance called coumarins, this substance thins and purifies blood making it suitable for the purpose of purifying blood. -red clover oils (consisting of red clover flowers and leaves) have soothing properties that are able to reduce inflammation in dry skin conditions such as eczema. -red clovers estrogen like properties (types of isoflavone) are able to slow down bone density and bone mineral loss. -red clover leaves and flowers are included in herbal remedies that cure respiratory infections because red clover contains a certain type of isoflavone called flavonoid biochanin A. Flavonoid biochanin A are shown
Because of the impure quality of the agent, it is said to have an odor similar to that of mustard, garlic, or horseradish. When the mustard agent is in pure form, it is both odorless and colorless. Since mustard is a vesicant or blister agent, it can cause severe blistering of the skin, tissue damage, and if inhaled damage to the lungs and other vital organs. Mustard gas also attacks a cell’s DNA, so it can cause cancer and birth defects. In addition, mustard also damages the eyes and airways by topical contact and the gastrointestinal tract and bone marrow after absorption.
Protects the bacteria from phagocytosis allowing the bacteria to stay in the body 6. pure culture 7. It is differential based on hemolysis of the agar. Hemolysis can be wide-narrow band beta, alpha, gamma, or none. 8. candle jar in microbiology is used for anaerobiosis in which a lit candle is placed in an air tight jar and if it went out, it would be because it used up all the available oxygen. 9. any streptococcus capable of hemolyzing erythrocytes, classified as α-hemolytic type, producing a zone of greenish discoloration much smaller than the clear zone produced by
This product is pitched as an antiseptic mouth rinse that kills germs caused by gingivitis, plaque, and bad breath and this product is also approved by the American Dental Association.

Though, Butterbur is a perennial shrub that grows in Europe, Asia and North America. The active constituents are petasin and isopetasin, which are believed to reduce smooth muscle spasm and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Researchers at the University of Dundee, Scotland, evaluated the effects of butterbur in people with allergic asthma who were also using inhalers. They found that butterbur added to the anti-inflammatory effect of the
Three types of selective media are used: Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol (PEA) are both selective for gram positive agar and Deoxycholate Citrate Agar (DCA) is selective for enteric pathogens. Media can also be classified as selective and differential, this experiment utilizes three types of selective and differential media. Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is selective for gram positive bacteria and differential for mannitol fermenting bacteria, MacConkey Agar (MAC) and Hektoen Enteric Agar (HEK) are both differential for lactose fermenting bacteria and selective for gram negative bacteria, and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMB) is selective and differential for coliforms and gram negative bacteria. The experiment incorporates four types of tests used for the bacteria. The Phenyl Red Lactose and Glucose tests are used to determine whether a bacteria is capable of using sugar as a carbon and energy source.
Amoxicillin, a penicillin based antibiotic which fights bacteria in your body. It can only be taken if you are not allergic to Penicillin and do not have asthma, liver or kidney disease, or a history of diarrhoea caused by antibiotics. It is used to treat many different types of infections, such as ear infections, bladder infections, pneumonia, and salmonella however it can cause side effects including sores inside your mouth, fever, swollen glands, joint pain, muscle weakness, severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash, yellowed skin, yellowing of the eyes, dark colored urine, confusion or weakness 3. What medication demands the measurement of specific physiological measurements. (2.2) Insulin (blood has to be taken from a pinprick so that glucose can be measured before the insulin can be given); Warfarin to thin the blood - again blood levels must be checked regularly; Digoxin to slow and steady the heart (pulse should be checked prior to administration and advice taken if
Lymphocytes main function is fight against bacterial and viral infection. Elevated immune system, it can be predisposing cause of infection or it can slow the healing process. Calcium is 8.7: according to patient ABG values it indicates patient has respiratory alkalosis, it causes increase free calcium to bind to serum albumin which can leads different problems such as tetany. There are other abnormal values such as HCO3=29meq/L indicates alkalosis, PH=7.50indicates alkalosis; PaO2 =59mm/hg indicates hypoxia; PaCO2=25mm/hg indicates alkalosis. Analysis of ABG indicates respiratory alkalosis.
It is a powerful antioxidant and as such helps to protect the cells in our bodies from damage. Studies in humans have shown that lycopene is protective against a variety of cancers including prostate of course, but also colorectal, breast, lung, endometrial, pancreatic, bladder, cervical and skin cancers. Lycopene has also been shown to help prevent heart disease and may slow the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, an age related vision problem that can lead to blindness. The vitamin B6, niacin, potassium, and folate found in abundance in tomatoes are potent protectors against heart disease. Niacin can lower high cholesterol levels and potassium has been shown to lower high blood pressure and to reduce the risk of heart disease.
