Shigella Infection

Question: Does "Daddy Has A Roommate" represent the psychological and other health issues that go with "alternative lifestyles"? Classical sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, syphilis, herpes simplex infections, genital warts, pubic lice, scabies); enteric diseases (infections with Shigella species, Campylobacter jejuni, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, ["gay bowel disease"], Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and cytomegalovirus); trauma (related to and/or resulting in fecal incontinence, hemorroids, anal fissure, foreign bodies lodged in the rectum, rectosigmoid tears, allergic proctitis, penile edema, chemical sinusitis, inhaled nitrite burns, and sexual assault of the male patient); and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).[iv] Can anyone refute that increased morbidity and mortality is an unavoidable result of male-with-male sex--not to mention the increased rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, suicide and other maladies that so often accompany a homosexual lifestyle?[v] By Kathleen Melonakos, M.A., R.N. http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/nov/061… The author holds the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association "criminally responsible" for their complicity in helping to create "the culture of denial about the lethalness of homosexual sex" and their "attitude of political correctness that is killing a substantial proportion of persons" engaged in active homosexuality. She also implicate those same, highly influential organizations for allowing themselves to be influenced by gay activists to deny that many homosexual persons can indeed be helped by therapy to overcome their same-sex tendencies. Melonakos writes, "What if doctors said, 'We refuse to treat cancer (or, say, alcoholism) because we only achieve a 50% cure rate--and many people who don't want to be cured find it oppressive that we do cure the others?' Why wouldn't the lawsuits for malpractice be filed?" The article concludes, "What will it take to insist on truth? Lawsuits? Protests?.." Where's the medical bias here?? Just show me the facts from a medical viewpoint without homosexual agenda bias that refute these statements and I will read it.

Answer: OK, since "Daddy Has A Roommate" is supposed to help YOUNG children understand their family structure, why would, say, a chapter about STDs and other sexual things be appropriate? What do any of those things have to do with a young child understanding their family structure? Should every young kid who lives with their mom get a book that explains breast cancer in detail regardless if their mom has breast cancer or not? How about "Daddy Might Get Prostate Cancer"? Maybe "Mommy Might Have A Little Ovarian Cyst"? Or a book that explains heterosexual sex and sexual issues in detail, including things like sores, yeast infections, etc.? Basically you're suggesting that we have young children read a book that explains sexual acts, illnesses and STDs in detail. I don't know where you're from but where I'm from that's actually a crime (and immoral). Wow, I didn't even address your blatantly obvious homophobia.

Question: Microbiology Lab Help? I know you will look at this and think "Damn this girl is asking alot" but my boyfriend is taking the class and his teacher apparently wrote the book and lab book they have to use and these are some questions that are not covered in the book. I am searching for the answers as well but I thought that it would be faster if I could get a little extra help too. If you can help on any question it would be appreciated and if not thats okay too, because I completely understand.. LOL! 1 How can serological tests be used to verify the etiology of a disease? 2 What type of activities are associated with antibodies "in vivo"? 3 Why do you get different results with E. Coli and Micrococcus luteus in lysozyme experiments? 4 What are some advantages to use the rapid ID test for Group A Streptococcus? 5 How would you differentiate Streptococcus pneumoniae from normal respiratory alpha streptococci? 6 What hemolytic pattern is seen with Streptococcus pneumoniae? 7 Characterize the genus of Staphylococcus. 8 How could you distinguish Staphylococcus epidermidis from Staphylococcus aureus? 9 What are some precautions in patient care to prevent nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus infections? 10 Which bacterial respiratoey pathogens can you be immunized against? 11 A case history that would suggest a Klebisella pneumoniae infections? 12 How are the normal microbiota involved in dental carries? 13 Why are Salmonella and Shigella reportable diseases? 14 What is the difference in food poisoning and food infection? Citing organisms associated wih each? 15 How are urinary infections detected in the clinical microbiology lab since the organisms most often responsible are frequently found as normal flora in urine specimens?

Answer: i highly doubt that you will recieve any answers to these questions. I have taken pathogenic micro and I learned the answers to all these questions.........most are pretty basic but to ask 15 questions!?!? good luck......but dont expect anyone to answer all of them

Question: Honey and its miracles? Honey is a remarkable viscous liquid, prepared by the bees from the nectars of various plants. It has occupied a prominent place in traditional medicines throughout world history. The ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Chinese, Greeks and Romans employed honey for wounds and diseases of the gut. When the Children of Israel were in Egypt or journeying through the desert, their promised goal was a 'land flowing with milk and honey'. Both the holy Qur'an and Hadith refer to honey as a healer of disease. 'And thy Lord taught the bee to build its cells in hills, on trees and in (men's) habitations..... there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for mankind. Verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought'. (Translation of Quran 16:68-69) In addition, the Prophet (PBUH) said: 'Honey is a remedy for every illness and the Qur'an is a remedy for all illness of the mind, therefore I recommend to you both remedies, the Qur'an and honey.' (Bukhari) In recent years, scientific support is beginning to emerge confirming the beneficial effects of honey on certain medical and surgical conditions. These effects may be summarised as follows: Antibacterial and antifungal properties These properties of honey are well established. Undiluted honey inhibits the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, certain gut pathogens and fungi such as Candida albicans. At a concentration of 30-50%, honey has been shown to be superior to certain conventional antibiotics in treating urinary tract infections. The exact mechanism of the anti-microbial effect of honey remains obscure. Low pH, osmotic disruption of pathogens and the presence of bactericidal substances, collectively called inhibine may all play a part. Anti-diarrhoeal properties At a concentration of 40%, honey has a bactericidal effect on various gut bacteria known to cause diarrhoea and dysentery such as Salmonella, Shigella, enteropathogenic E. coli and Vibrio cholera. In one study, honey given with oral rehydration fluid was shown to reduce the duration of bacterial diarrhoea in infants and children. Wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties Honey is of value in treating burns, infected surgical wounds and decubitus ulcers. Honey is very viscous, enabling it to absorb water from surrounding inflamed tissue. For example, a study in West Africa showed that skin grafting, surgical debridement and even amputation were avoided when local application of honey to wound promoted healing, whereas conventional treatment failed. In another study, wound healing was accelerated by application of honey in women who had undergone radical vulvectomy for vulval cancer. Also, it has been suggested that honey may be useful in the treatment of chronic, foul smelling ulcers seen in leprosy. Anti-tussive and expectorant properties These anti-cough properties of honey are related to its capacity to dilute bronchial secretions and improve the function of the bronchial epithelium. Nutritional properties Uncontaminated honey is a healthy, easily digestible, natural and energy rich food. It contains carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, enzymes and vitamins. One tablespoon of honey provides 60 calories and contains 11g of carbohydrates, 1mg of calcium, 0.2mg of iron, 0.lmg of vitamin B and 1mg of vitamin C. Honey is widely available in most communities but its medical potential remains grossly underutilised. Its mode of action remains incompletely understood and the healing properties of honey in other clinical and laboratory situations requires further evaluation. The miraculous beneficial properties of honey, so beautifully ex-pressed in the holy Qur'an and Sunnah 14 centuries ago expose the reluctance of modern science to accept and exploit this 'traditional remedy'.

Answer: Jazak Allah Kheir Thank you for the information on this remarkable and sweet gift from Allah... Your such a honey for sharing!so sweet of you!
