Resistance to Apartheid Essay

Silver, also known as white metal, has been used for many years in jewellery and coins and was a symbol of wealth and prestige. But today, silver's primary use is industrial because it resists corrosion and oxidation. New innovations like cell phones or solar panels are constantly emerging to take advantage of silver's unique properties. Silver is a precious metal because it is rare and valuable. It's non-toxic, antimicrobial qualities make it useful in medicine and pharmaceutical products.…

Influenza virus infection (IVI): IVI is one of critical global health issues, which may cause the yearly and sporadic pandemic [1, 2]. IVI approximately costs on $71-167 billion per year in United States [3]. Influenza viruses are classified to RNA viruses and have three subunits; Influenza virus A, B and C. Type A viruses are mostly associated in human disease and are divided into subtypes depends on hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) serotype [1]. In lung disease, IVI exacerbates asthma…

Methicillin- Resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection, also known as the “Super Bug,” is a very deadly, and hard to cure staph infection caused by the Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. MRSA is a staph bacterium that is harmless unless it gets into our bodies or into open wounds. The MRSA bacterium was discovered in 1961 by a few British Scientists. The infection at first, was not very harmful since it was easily treated, but as time has passed, the bacterium has become…

Peaceful, and I stress peaceful, resistance to an unjust law is a net positive towards society. I say this because of the lack of viable alternative options in the face of injustice. These other options are sorely limited, coming down to small variations on the following: Violent resistance (which lends itself to extremism and the replacement of one corrupt system with another corrupt system) and outright non-resistance (which lends itself to collaboration and in turn a total lack of any change)…

Introduction According to the World Health Organization (WHO), diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with disruption of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. The elevation of blood glucose level is due to defects in insulin secretion, impaired insulin action, or both. Diabetes mellitus is categorized to type 1 and 2. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) usually develops in childhood and adolescence. The patients need to rely on insulin injections…

The retina is a very sensitive inner coat of the eye. It consists of ten layers, which are inner limiting membrane, nerve fiber layer, Ganglion cells layer, inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, external limiting membrane, photoreceptors (rods and cones) and retinal pigment epithelium. Also, it has a yellow spot, called macula, which is the important area for high acuity vision. In the retina, the light rays are converted into electrical signals…

Studies have shown that the main mechanism of resistance to antibiotics such as Penicillin involve alterations in target site (penicillin-binding proteins), hydrolyzing enzyme activity, and limited access for penicillin molecules to target sites (Nakazawa, 1982). By studying the role of penicillin-binding…

of microbial enzymes by wound pathogens, a variety of extracellular matrix proteins were degraded. Synthetic antimicrobial therapy used in the wound management and eradication of pathogens. However, it has many shortcomings such as anti-microbial resistance, cyto-toxicity against host tissue and absence of synergistic activity. In order to overcome these limitations, Pyto-pharmaceuticals extracted from herbal plants were applied to manage the wound infection and treatment. The objective of this…

Gathered from the data, it seems that commercial products are more effective than natural remedies; natural remedies made little if no contribution in inhibiting bacteria. This result however, does not signify that natural remedies are inadequate at inhibiting bacteria. It reflects that natural remedies are ineffective in inhibiting gram-positive bacteria. First natural product: Saliva for instance, is one of the body’s many defence mechanisms. Its main function is to prevent adhesion of…

The pathophysiological mechanisms involved with ventilator-associated pneumonia or VAP is correlated with bacteria flowing through the endotracheal tube, allowing a direct route to enter a person’s lungs. Studies suggest the principle risk-factor for the development VAP relies on the utilization of the endotracheal tube or ETT (Mietto MD et.al, 2013). Usually after 12 hours of intubation, bacteria that is specifically act as contaminated oropharyngeal secretions may often accumulate through the…
