Recent Breakthrough - “Artificial Leaf” In the past 3 million years‚ the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have been at their highest ever. With the more relatively recent beginning of the Industrial Age‚ the amount of clean‚ breathable air that humanity depends upon for survival‚ has‚ as a response to the Era‚ decreased. The increase in carbon emissions and the increasing dependence upon fossil-fuels for energy has led to a global race for the creation of a carbon-neutral‚ renewable energy

Introduction Osteomyelitis is an ancient disease dating back to 460 BC (Schmitt‚ 2017). It is a bone infection‚ usually caused by bacteria‚ that can be either acute or chronic. This condition usually occurs as a result of an infection in one part of the body that is transported through the bloodstream to a bone in a distant location. Most cases stem from Diabetes because bacterial infections are a large risk factor for the diabetic patient due to high glucose levels weakening the immune system.

attributable to indwelling urethral catheter (IUC) use. The incidence of bacteriuria is 3%–10% per catheter day (Furfari & Wald‚ 2008). Catheter-associated infections have harmful outcomes‚ including catheter or stent obstruction caused by biofilm formation‚ which usually requires removal and reinsertion of the device. Urinary catheters also cause other health issues‚ such as trauma to the bladder and urethral mucosa‚

In a hospital environment‚ there are many types of nosocomial infections. They can vary from Urinary tract infections‚ wound infections and lung infections just to name a few. A most encountered infection is a urinary tract infection. Which is encountered in various ways. A urinary tract infection involves the kidneys‚ ureters‚ bladder or urethra these organs assist in eliminating fluids from the body. A urinary tract infection can be acquired in hospitals from catheter insertion. Which is

Topical microemulsion systems for the antifungal activity containing Clotrimazole are designed to overcome the problems associated with its low solubility (0.49 mg/L) and slow dissolution in aqueous solutions. In this study‚ Clotrimazole was incorporated in jambhul honey microemulsion formulation without causing instability of the emulsion. The solubility of Clotrimazole in various oils‚ surfactants and cosurfactants was assessed to finalize the components of the w/o and o/w microemulsions. The pseudoternary

Microbiology Module 02 Homework Assignment Use the information presented in this module along with additional outside research to answer the questions: 1) Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic. a) Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are two types of cells that are very different but share some certain properties such as methods of reproduction‚ protein synthesis‚ an organized metabolism‚ response to stimuli‚ and plasma membranes. One significant difference is that prokaryotes are without a cell
