Carbon is an extremely important and essential element. It is one of the most abundant in the universe, constituting widely the stars (where the carbon-nitrogen cycles explain its immense amount of energy), the Sun, the comets and also the atmosphere of the vast majority of the planets. On our planet, carbon represents 0.2% of the crust and can be found in all forms of life that inhabit the Earth. If there was no carbon, life would not exist. Considering the wide and varied amount of compounds that
Herb-Drug Interactions: The use of herbs as a complementary and alternative medicine has increased steadily over the last decade. The WHO (2002) report stated that more than 80% of the world market depending on herbal medicinal products. In Asian countries, approximately 80% population use herbal medicine for promoting health conditions and healing several diseases (Young et al., 2011). In India and China, traditionally herbs are widely used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) systems
50% of sequence homology with native GLP-1 with the substitution of amino acid Arg with Gly at 2nd position, which provides resistance against DPP-4 and a half life of ~2-4hr. It is administered 60min before breakfast and dinner, with a predominant effect of reduction in PPG (Postprandial glucose) 17. Exenatide is rapidly absorbed following subcutaneous administration and eliminated through kidneys after proteolytic degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV.18 Clinical Pharmacology The efficacy and safety
3.6 ECU Engine control unit, one type of electronic control unit that manages an engine's operation. Most modern engines use some type of fuel injection to deliver fuel to the cylinders. The ECU determines the amount of fuel to inject based on a number of sensor readings. Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel/too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen/too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions known as stoichiometric. The throttle position
formaldehyde molecule is physisorbed on the pristine sheet via partly weak van der Waals attraction having the adsorption energy of about -15.7 kcal/mol. Metal decorated sheet is able to interact with the CHOH molecule, so that single Ni atoms prefer to bind strongly at the bridge site of graphene and each metal atom bound on sheet may adsorb up to four CHOH. The findings also show that the Ni decoration on graphene surface results in some changes in electronic properties of the sheet and its Eg is remained
transgenic animals can be put to use, as follows: 1. Normal physiology and development: Transgenic animals can be used to test the effect of the excess or deficiency of certain elements (as required) on human health. One of the most important animal used for this purpose is pig, because scientists can now replace pig protein with human protein and as such the exact effects on human health can be determined. This is an important method of drug development, for example, the development of genetically
ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori has become an issue of concern due to its eradication failures. This paper is a literature review of the ultra structure and morphology of the bacteria and how it develops resistance to antibiotics such as clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin and levofloxacin. It also reviews the action of these antibiotics and their prevalence rate of resistance to Helicobacter pylori. INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori known previously as Campylobacter pylori
account of food intolerance category. Any food, however harmless but, if taken in excess can be harmful like, consumption of excess food rich in fructose (apples, pears and honey) in early childhood results in loose stools (diarrhea) due to the osmotic effect of unabsorbed fructose. Similarly, it has been reported that children fed with chicken liver in large quantities faced vitamin A toxicity. However, it is also true with hyperuricemia in genetically predisposed patients, which is induce to ingestion
Organisational values can be described as a “belief that a specific mode of conduct is preferable to an opposite or contrary mode of conduct” (Rokeach, 1973). Some organisations describe them as their ‘guiding beacons’ whilst others describe them as part of their philosophy. As Diageo explains ‘Our values are not just words on a page – they are in our DNA. They underpin everything we do and are reflected in the day-to-day behaviour of the company.’ – Diageo The importance of organisational values
ABSTRACT Antibiotic resistance is a major global concern today. New resistance mechanisms of some bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa are emerging globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases. This research study focuses on determining whether the selected plant based anti-quorum sensing in conjuction with cipfloxacin, where pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to be resistant, will generate an effective results to aid the scare of antimicrobial resistance. The selected
