3mg/plate concentration has the tendency of 50% inhibition of His+ reverting formation in TA-98 and TA-100 respectively. This indicates the potency of the date extract as a strong anti-mutagenic agent (Michalak and Trocki 2006)
This is accomplished chiefly by the activity that calls for mechanistically reducing ESR and plasma fibrinogen and normalizing the plasma level of antioxidants. The careful administration, preparation, and examination of the date extract also indicated that the extract has the healing tendency, antioxidant potency followed by the natural methods that can help increase the body weight and gaining the higher food efficiency ratios (Varisco 2006)
The small yellow colored followers of the date palm are found attached directly to the spikelets that later develops to form the juicy and nutritious dates. The dates are cylindrical in shape and have a single seed and the color range varies from bright red to yellow depending on the ripeness of the fruit and the variety (Woods 2004)
When we come to that remarkable historical phenomenon --in which a hitherto obscure race of nomads, under the stimulus of a new religion, burst forth upon the ancient and decadent civilisations from the Pillars of Hercules to the Indus and imposed their own beautiful and flexible language upon other races and even other religions -- we do not find at first that enlightened appreciation of science that afterwards distinguished many of the rulers in Islam. It was not until the division of the caliphate in the eighth century between Bagdad and Cordova that the obscurantism that had characterised early Mohammedanism -- as it had occurred before with early Christianity and was to occur long after with early Protestantism -- was to give way to a love of knowledge for its own sake (Wright 2008)
Parents must be educated on the potential risk factors associated with meningitis, as well as such potential outcomes such as hearing loss and learning disability. Lack of treatment and vaccination availability indicate disadvantaged children who do not have access to necessary treatment; mortality levels are 5% in developed nations, while mortality in the developing world is approximately 30% (Best, & Hughes, 2008)
Children who undergo cochlear implants are also at a high risk of acquiring bacterial meningitis; the rate of which is 30 times greater than children in the general U.S. population (Biernath et al
pneumoniae occurred in infants aged 2-12 months, and N. meningitdis was the most frequent pathogen among children aged greater than 12 months (Bingen et al
pneumoniae and N. meningitdis, and are responsible for 80% of cases in the United States (Brouwer et al
Costs of referral treatments must also be considered. From a research and development perspective, the greatest cost is vaccine development; the cost of which drives vaccination policies (Ceyhan et al
Bacterial Meningitis in Children: An Overview Bacterial meningitis represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Meningitis is defined as inflammation of the protective membranes, known as meninges, that surround the brain and spinal cord (Chavez-Bueno et al
, 2005). Various antibiotic regimens are available for treatment and recent studies have inquired into the use of corticosteroids in children to reduce hearing loss complications associated with bacterial meningitis (Mongelluzzo et al
, 2005). Antibiotic pretreatment of bacterial meningitis (treatment prior to lumbar puncture) is also employed in a significant number of childhood cases of bacterial meningitis, and is known to affect cerebrospinal fluid glucose and protein levels (Nigrovic et al
In resource-poor countries, however, Hib is a major pathogen still affecting children. Bacterial meningitis is especially toxic in Africa, and remains an important source of mortality among African children (Roca et al
The bacteria cause a significant threat to the central nervous system due to the poor ability of the cerebrospinal fluid to respond to bacterial infection. Inadequate presence of immunoglobulins and other immune molecules limits the innate elimination of bacteria from the cerebrospinal fluid (Yogev et al
However, persons with lowered immune systems, including the elderly and especially persons with HIV or cancer diagnoses, are at risk for developing the disease after exposure. Persons with substance abuse problems including tobacco addiction are also at higher risk for developing the disease due to lowered immune system ("Risk Factors," 2015)
Newer strains of the bacteria are creating epidemics worldwide ("Understanding Tuberculosis: The Basics," 2015). In fact, some of the newer forms of tuberculosis are completely unresponsive to current drug interventions (Udwadia, et al
Exposure to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria does not necessarily lead to manifestations of the illness, because the bacteria can live inside the body and remain inactive. Moreover, when the bacteria remain inactive or latent, the disease will not be contagious ("Understanding Tuberculosis: The Basics," 2015)
H. Kayser explains that "Exotoxins" are pathogenic bacteria that are capable of producing a "variety of toxins that are either the only pathogenic factor" in the onset of diseases like diphtheria, tetanus and cholera, or if they aren't the only factor they are at lease a "major factor" in a person getting these three diseases (Kayser, 2011)
Meanwhile in the book Neurobiology of Brain Disorders: Biological Basis of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders, the authors explain that the release of toxins can have a negative impact on the human nervous system. In particular the authors mention the "Clostridium botulinus and tetani toxins, which are metalloproteases that inhibit synaptic vesicle release" (Zigmond, et al
Environmental Hazards What are toxicants and how do they affect living organisms? According to Dr. Celine Godard, toxicants and toxins both reference substances that are toxic; however, toxins are made in nature (like in poisonous mushrooms or in the poisonous venom that snakes use to kill their prey) and toxicants are human made (Godard, et al
