polymer molecules of similar chemical structure . matrix rein which provide the continuous phase of the composite is expected to serve. Provide a uniform distribution of the structural and environment load to the reinforcing fibre through a good adhesion and a strong interface with the reinforcement. A absorb the impact of loads minimize

Clostridium Difficile: A Ruthless Invader Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a pervasive and troublesome bacterium in healthcare. If left untreated it can lead to a plethora of complications—acute, chronic, and even fatal. C. difficile is a gram positive bacillus (with a capsule) and has ideal conditions for growth at around 37°C in an obligate anaerobic environment. In its vegetative state, C. difficile contains multiple flagella for motility within the intestinal tract; 1 however, once

Gun Control Proposal Gun control is not one issue, but many. To most people gun control is an issue of crime and to others it is simply a rights issue. Gun control is a safety issue, an education issue, and a racial issue. With all of these issues there are people who want more gun control and those who want less. On either side of these issues opinions range from average to severe. Over the past five years, lawmakers have initiated more than 100 gun control proposals in Congress, since Gifford’s

folds significantly slowly. Hence, B27 has a tendency to misfold and lead to stress response. 3 Finally, another interesting theory claims that HLA-B27 has insufficiency of the ability to eliminate infected macrophages normally and some of bacterial adhesion molecules, like Yersinia and salmonella, use HLA-B27 as a ligand to attach to synovium cells. 3 The presence of HLA-B27 can predict a severity and a prolonged of

Pain presents for a variety of reasons, auto accidents, sports injuries, diabetic neuropathy, degenerative joint diseases. Managing pain is a huge problem for millions of people. While chiropractic treatments realign the spine, promoting healthy nerve transmission and proper disc position, manipulation cannot heal muscles and tissue damage, two sources of pain throughout the body. Our Back to Health Center professionals are committed to giving our Alexandria patients price-conscious, effective solutions

Whether we like it or not bacteria is everywhere, it can be good and bad, on every surface we touch and even within our bodies. Bacteria, usually as a single celled microorganism, is almost harmless on its own as it can be engulfed by phagocytes and even destroyed by antibiotics. However, bacteria can group together and create something called a biofilm, which can be more detrimental to the health of humans. Biofilms are defined as a complex structure adhering to surfaces that are regularly in contact

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Demyelination affects white and grey matter (Kieseier and Stuve, 2011; Stadelman et al., 2011), and it is accompained by disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), inflammatory infiltrates consisting of monocyte-derived macrophages and lymphocytes, and axonal degeneration (Trapp and Nave, 2008). As a consequence, MS patients usually suffer from loss of motor and sensory function, and

Active Release Technique (Myofascial Release): A Rose by Another Name is Still a Rose In all fairness, other forms of touch therapy have very little scientific evidence behind them. The caution here is primarily based on the understanding that this technique needs to be performed by a registered and certified practitioner who has completed the training program. Let's take a closer look at some of the specific findings from the case studies and pilot studies that have been conducted over the last

individual cell in water). There is an important difference between the two and the first reason biofilms are different from infections of a planktonic bacteria is because of the exopolysaccharide matrix, also known as EPS. The EPS is important in adhesion of the cells and interrupts the normal functions of the phagocytic cells of the immune system of the host. Biofilms are difficult in medical situations because of their willingness to resist antibiotics and can be hard to control if not done properly

This section briefly explains the cause of FMF. MEFV gene leads to Familial Mediterranean fever. MEFV make a protein called pyrin also known as marenostrin, which is found in white blood cells. MEFV is involved in the immune system which helps to regulate the process of inflammation. MEFV gene reduces the activity of the pyrin protein, which disrupts control of the inflammation process (Periodic Fever Syndrome. 2016 Retrieved April 10, 2016). A person with FMF has mutations in both copies of MEFV
