Wound Lab Report

The risk of developing a surgical wound infection is largely determined by three factors: the load, type of microbial contamination of the wound and host susceptibility7. Cleansing is a vital component of wound management. Iodine is a highly effective topical antimicrobial that has been used clinically in the treatment of wounds for more than 170 years. It has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity with efficacy against bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses and can be used to treat both acute and chronic wounds8. Therefore, the present study was taken up to screen for the presence of aerobic bacteria from post-operative wounds, to detect antibiotic susceptibility pattern and to evaluate the antibacterial activity of

Tetanus Muscular System Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a serious bacterial infection called Clostridium tetani, that causes serious painful muscle spasms and can lead to death. Clostridium tetani spores are able to for long periods outside of the body. These spores found mainly in animal feces and contaminated soil, but they can survive anywhere. The bacteria enters the body through puncture wounds.

Wound dressing Selection of a suitable wound dressing material for a specific type of wound requires comprehensive knowledge of the wound healing process. In earlier, man has used different materials such as linen, honey, animal fats and vegetables fibers for wound dressing. The continuous developments have led to extensive use of new bandages with improved performance. Nowadays, wound dressing materials are usually based on biopolymers such chitosan, alginate, collagen and starch. Chitosan sponges are mainly used as wound healing materials, as they can soak up the wound exudates, while helping the tissue regeneration.

MRSA is very common in hospitals, prisons, and nursing homes. Biological Diversity

Valley Fever (Coccidioidomycosis) Overview- Coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever is a fungal infection caused by Coccidioides immitis spores. Mild cases of this condition are not common and treatment is not generally necessary. However, this disease is often misdiagnosed, due to the fact that you experience only mild or moderate symptoms, and these symptoms often takes 20 years to present. The most severe cases of Coccidioidomycosis causing the infection to spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream, and people with compromised immune systems are at greatest risk. -causa

“From the bitterness of disease man learns the sweetness of health.” According to the Medical Dictionary of Health Professions and Nursing (Farlex 2012), health status refers to the level of health of an individual person, a group or a population as assessed by that individual or by objective measures. In previous years, one would live longer due to their good health status. Herbalism or herbal therapy has contributed to this in a variety of ways and has been practiced for thousands of years by people of all cultures globally.

Skin word arrives from Latin word cutis. It is the peripheral covering of vertebrates and the largest organ of the body with almost 20 square feet area. Skin is mainly comprise of epithelial, mesenchymal, glandular and neurovascular components. It protects us from microbes as first line of defense, helps to maintain homeostasis and allows the sensation of touch, heat and cold. 1.2.

(Ronald A. Sherman, 2014). Most people do not feel pain with therapy. Medical maggots aren’t capable of burrowing because they cannot dissolve healthy tissue. The maggots will not become flies in the wound because they will not be on the wound long enough to become flies (Ronald A. Sherman, 2014). Assuring patients of the success of maggot therapy is essential.

Great manifestations of ringworm in felines incorporate skin sores that ordinarily show up on the head, ears and forelimbs. Ringworm can bring about flaky uncovered patches that occasionally look red in the middle. In gentle cases, there might be restricted territories of redness or essentially dandruff, while more extreme contaminations can spread over a feline 's whole body. Treatment of ringworm in felines relies on upon the seriousness of the contamination.

Therefore, the treatment of E.coli infections is increasingly becoming difficult. It is necessary to know the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of pathogenic E.coli to select the correct antibiotic(s) for the proper treatment of the infections. (5) E.coli is a Gram negative, motile, nonsporing, lactose fermenting bacillus. The ability of E.coli to cause extraintestinal infections depends largely on several virulence factors, which help in survival of E.coli under adverse conditions present in those

Lockjaw, also more commonly know as tetanus or Clostridium tetani, is a desease caused by bacterial infection. the bacterium Clostridium tetani, is commonly found in soil, saliva, dust, and manure and can be introduced to the blood stream via a skin puncture, the bacterium produces a toxin called Tetanospasmin which interferes with muscle contractions, resulting in muscle spasms or spasmodic muscle contractions. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanus). Tetanospasmin permanently binds receptors, so in that sense it can 't be cured. In the case of advanced tetanus treatment involves antibiotics and paralytics while being put on a respirator, which is needed until your receptors regenerate.(Andrew Lehman, Immunologist and Virologist, https://www.quora.com/How-can-tetanus-be-cured).

However, some doctors consider infections of the urethra and prostate to be lower (Iman, 2016). Upper UTIs usually consist of diseases of the ureters, renal pelvis, and interstitium. The differences are that upper infections can lead to kidney failure, and lower UTIs result in necrosis. E. Coli and Staphylococcus cause the lower infections, whereas the upper infections are usually due to Proteus, E. Coli, and Pseudomonas. Lower UTIs have symptoms frequency, urgency, dysuria, back pain, hematuria, cloudy urine, and flank pain, whereas upper infections have signs of frequency, urgency, dysuria, costovertebral tenderness, and hypertension (Huether, 2012,

aureus microbe problematic is because it is the leading cause of nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections by gram-positive bacteria and is notoriously resistant to penicillin and many other commonly used antibiotics. It was actually recently reported that a strain of S. aureus is resistant to every known antibiotic in clinical usage. The emergence of antibiotic resistance strains of S. aureus, such as methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA), is becoming a greater problem. Since S. aureus has become resistant to most of the beta-lactam antibiotics, vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, is used to fight MRSA. However, there are now strains of S. aureus that are resistant to vancomycin, such as vancomycin intermediate staph aureus (VISA) and vancomycin resistant staph aureus (VRSA).

Evaluation There are only few evidence-based guidelines in relation to bioburden control; there has not been a precise assessment conducted by using a small number of participants of controlled studies. At the same time, some of the interventions were inconsistent since it was gathered only using observational data. Even though slowed wound healing is recurrently contaminated with bacteria, several go on to be cured without any further complication. The frequency of dressing change will always depend on the healthcare professionals that are performing the wound assessment. However, a balance should be maintained between the patient and bacteria to avoid factors that can contribute to wound healing delay.

People still belief in natural and spiritual remedies to cure people. One of the most important advances during that time was the Canon by Sina and De Fabrica Vesalius’s textbooks. The Canon’s textbooks was organized into 5 sections best known as “organized encyclopedia of medical knowledge.” And had influences of the European and Islamic Empires. Canon’s textbooks recognized that tuberculosis can also be transfer via dirt and water.
