The aims of this study were to measure the physicochemical properties of miconazole nitrate (MCZ : a brand-name (MCZ-A) and three generic (MCZ-B, -C, and -D)) creams, to conduct human sensory testing of those creams. The flattening, viscoelasticity, and water content of each cream were measured and each cream was subjected to near-infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy and sensory testing. The yield value was calculated based on measured flattening and was 734.8 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-A, 1198.9 dynes/cm2
Athlete’s Foot: Tinea Pedis DEFINITION • Athlete’s foot is also known as ringworm of the foot. • It is a contagious fungal infection of the skin of the foot (particularly the upper layers of epidermis) caused by the fungus, Trichophyton or Epidermophyton floccosum. AETIOLOGY • Athlete’s foot is caused by dermatophytes, a group of parasitic fungi that cause infections in the outer layers of the skin. • The fungi flourish in warm and humid conditions making area such as public swimming pools, public
The Yeast menace is a yeast infection which has many chains of infections attached to it, the infections consist of Thrush, Monilia and Candidosis. The yeast menace starts when the yeast organisms no longer function properly with in the body, this then causes a fast over growth of the re production of cells. Thrush is one of the infections connected with the yeast menace, which is can be causes in women and men. Thrush in woman is also known as vaginal candidas, this infection is based in the vagina
One Afternoon… Thursday afternoon Clara had just had hockey practice and was getting undressed. Many times before practices, a ‘traditional’, her teammates always steal and run around with Molly’s(a teammate) hat. This time when Clara was untying her skates Molly took Clara’s hat. Clara chased after her, managing to take her skates off first. She was barefoot and was running across the floor that many people have with sweaty feet. Clara won’t see signs it for 2-3 weeks, but after running on dirty
from tinea. Other sorts of topical gels, solutions, powders or sprays may also be prescribed depending on the type of tinea contracted. For Tinea corporis, a cool compress is a good relief for the sores, as well as using creams or solutions such as miconazole, ketoconazole and butenafine (Brown & Edwards, 2015). If athlete’s foot is itchy and inflamed, a combination of anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory creams works best. The creams should be applied twice a day, usually in the morning and at night, but
1.0 INTRODUCTION Fungus exists in a form of mycelium or can occur as sclerotia, a resistant structure. The production of additional hyphae and asexual spores, conidia are due to the germination of the sclerotia. The product then will be freely introduced in the soil, water and air. Fungi that are being introduced into body of water which subsequently change the taste and odours of the drinking water. Drinking of the infected water will cause fungal infections in human. Despite through water, human
Organism Naegleria fowleri, the brain eating amoeba, exists around the world; reservoirs of N fowleri include sediments of lakes, rivers, geothermal water, soil, and poorly kept swimming pools. These microbes can live in temperatures up to 45 degree Celsius and do not require a host cell for survival. The free-living amoeba is the etiological source of primary amoebic meningeocephalitis (PAM), an acute and fatal disease of the central nervous system with fatality rates over 99%. Onset of illness
The purpose of this paper is to focus on a subject within my educational field that I can research and inform the public about. I plan to become a veterinarian .which would require my daily contact with humans and animals. Zoonotic diseases are risk factors that I have to be aware of in order to protect myself as well as my patients and their owners. Luckily developments in medicine have made it possible to cure zoonotic diseases and even prevent them from ever being contracted. There are thing
Certificate in Minor Oral Surgery Cohort 3 2014-15 Formative Assignment 1 Anticoagulant therapy is a relatively common long term treatment in UK medicine. Outline what medical conditions might indicate its use. Outline the different types of agents which have and are used and how they affect the physiology of the blood clotting mechanism. Using an evidence base how should patients in this category be managed in primary and secondary care when undergoing different oral surgical procedures.
