Today in a government science facility Wrocław-29: the first human trial of a new antibiotic group.

The subjects have been infected by S. aureus a few days prior and now presenting in acute stage of staphylococcal pneumonia. Each one will be closely monitored and given additional drugs for study purposes.

Desperate to get better, most of the used specimens have been relatively compliant by now. They still have to be restrained. It's a safety rule.

After all, the subjects should be grateful to help with the medical research of EESU's leading scientists and advance the best healthcare system in the world, wouldn't they?

Staphylococcus Aureus : This is the most dangerous of all of the many common staphylococcal bacteria. This bacteria often causes skin infections but can cause pneumonia, heart valve infections and bone infections.

# These bacteria are spread by having direct contact with an infected person

# skin infections are common but the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream and infect distant organs ; blisters, abscesses, and redness and swelling in the infected area.

Treatment: Antibiotics

Surgical removal of infected bone and or foreign material

Biodefense: Understanding the Role of Biodefence Against Biological Threats In Industry

Biological threats pose a serious danger to national and global security. Biological agents like viruses, bacteria, toxins and other disease-causing organisms can potentially sicken or kill large numbers of people if used as weapons. Some examples of pathogenic biological agents that have been militarized or have potential as bioweapons include anthrax, plague, smallpox, tularemia and staphylococcal enterotoxin B. These agents are highly dangerous due their ability to sicken or kill on exposure, difficulty of detection and potential transmission between people. Several rogue states and terrorist organizations are suspected to be pursuing offensive biological weapons programs, raising the risk of hostile use or accidental release of dangerous pathogens. The threat of biological weapons has grown in the modern world due to advances in biotechnology which has enabled easier production of biological agents that can potentially be used for hostile purposes. This underscores the importance of biological defense against such threats through early detection, prevention and preparedness measures.

Goals and Objectives of Biodefense

Biological defense involves coordinated efforts across scientific, medical, security and policy domains aimed at addressing biological threats through non-proliferation, countermeasures and response capabilities. The overarching goals of biological defense are to minimize vulnerabilities, detect biological incidents early, mitigate impacts and enable rapid recovery. Specific objectives include developing capabilities for early warning and detection of outbreaks using disease surveillance and biosensors. Biodefense also involves stockpiling effective medical countermeasures like vaccines, antiviral drugs and therapeutic antibodies. Biological defense research contributes to the development of new and improved vaccines, diagnostics, prophylactic and therapeutic agents. Response planning and coordination between healthcare, law enforcement and other stakeholders ensures preparedness for potential biological incidents. International cooperation and treaties seek to prevent the spread and hostile use of pathogens through export controls and verification mechanisms.

Surveillance and Detection Systems

One of the most important components of biological defense is early detection through disease monitoring and biosensors. The United States operates an integrated biosurveillance program involving multiple agencies that provide early warning of disease outbreaks. Systems like the National Syndromic Surveillance Program monitor emergency room visits and pre-hospital care reports for signs of epidemics. Additional programs track influenza-like illnesses and analyze data from Medical Information Surveillance Integrated System, Google Flu Trends and other sources to identify potential outbreaks rapidly. Biodefence agencies are also investing in research to develop advanced nucleic acid, protein and antibody-based biosensors for rapid, sensitive and specific detection of potential biological weapons agents. Some future technologies under development include handheld devices that can detect airborne pathogens as well as systems for continuous, real-time monitoring of public areas such as airports or subways for signs of biological incidents. Early detection is critical to reduce impact because it allows for immediate healthcare mobilization and faster dispensation of medical countermeasures.

Medical Countermeasures Strategies

Biological defense stockpiles form a crucial component of defense by ensuring timely access to antibiotics, antivirals, antitoxins, vaccines and other medical countermeasures in the event of a biological attack. The US Strategic National Stockpile maintains large caches of pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and equipment for rapid response and dispensing after exposure to pathogens. Key medical countermeasures for high-priority biological threats include anthrax vaccines, smallpox vaccines, antiviral drugs for influenza and botulism antitoxins. There is a continuing focus on developing improved countermeasures for emerging and engineered threats as well as combating antimicrobial resistance. For instance, efforts are underway to develop next generation anthrax vaccines with broader effectiveness and fewer doses required. Research is also being conducted to design versatile platform technologies like monoclonal antibody therapies, adjuvant systems and genomic analysis tools to speed up countermeasure development against unknown future threats. International cooperation helps expand countermeasure access globally and strengthens preparedness worldwide against biological incidents.

Response Planning and Preparedness Exercises

Effective biological defense requires coordinated response planning across various levels from federal agencies down to state and local public health networks. Response plans delineate roles, responsibilities and standard operating procedures during potential biological incidents to enable rapid detection, healthcare mobilization, casualty treatment and mitigation efforts. Emergency Operations Centers are equipped and staffed to coordinate large-scale incident management in real-time. Preparedness exercises test response plans, find gaps, improve coordination and train frontline professionals through simulated biological scenarios. Some examples are biennial Crimson Contagion drills conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services simulating nationwide outbreaks, TOPOFF full-scale exercises simulating complex terrorism incidents, and annual Pandemic Influenza Readiness Exercises focused on healthcare surge capacity. As part of continuity of government planning, agencies have developed detailed contingency plans for sustaining essential services during staff shortages or infrastructure disruptions due to a biological attack. Regular drills at federal, state and community levels help strengthen all-hazards preparedness nationwide.

Challenges and Future Directions

While considerable progress has been made, biological defense efforts still face scientific, technical and policy related challenges. Rapid evolution of microbiological threats requires agility to update detection and response systems. Scientific dilemmas persist with bioforensics, attribution, biotechnology oversight and managing dual-use risks. Costs of upgrading surveillance infrastructure countrywide are high. Stockpiling of multi-purpose medical countermeasures needs accelerated investment while ensuring incentives for industry involvement. Globalisation and interconnectivity necessitate greater international cooperation on biosecurity best practices, export controls and pathogen transparency. Future priorities include developing artificial intelligence assisted analytics, blockchain enabled public health data-sharing, novel diagnostics based on microfluidics, mobile detection laboratories and telemedicine facilities to empower distributed biological defense capabilities

In the face of growing biological risks, a robust biological defense encompassing coordinated preventive mechanisms, preparedness planning and technological solutions provide strategic depth against intentional outbreaks and natural disease emergencies. While continual progress is needed, past investments in early warning systems, medical countermeasures development and coordinated exercises have undoubtedly strengthened resilience of nations. With prudent management of evolving threats and challenges, further optimization of integrated biological defense has the potential to significantly curb impacts from biological incidents in the decades ahead. Global health security also depends on collaborative efforts that foster transparency, reinforce international norms and enable rapid sharing of expertise during public health emergencies. A multilateral approach will be integral to the long term success of this critical mission.

Medicines are made in three ways

Medicines are made in three ways, Homeo, Ayurveda and Allopathy.

But in Hindustan, treatment is done by adopting another way.

And I myself am the biggest witness of the cure being cured by that method.

Once I had Vasant or Measles or Maa Ki Daya disease.

For three days I was treated in such a way that I do not have the details.

I used to sleep on neem leaves.

My daily food was only water from Durga Mata's pitcher and nothing else.

The surprising thing is that I became disease free in three days and within the seventh day the spots disappeared from my whole body.

The thing is friends, what I said is completely true.

Can neem leaves cure infectious diseases?

Background: Nowadays, several antibiotics used for the treatment of a variety of infectious human diseases possess a limited antimicrobial spectrum due to the emergence of multi drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. It has therefore lead to the use of two or more antimicrobial agents as a combination treatment for preventing or delaying the emergence of resistant microbial strains and in certain cases also exhibits a synergistic effect which proves useful in the treatment of bacterial infections especially in otherwise resistant-bacteria cases. Neem, a traditionally known plant in the Indian system of medicine is a worldwide recognized natural antibiotic. Thus, in the present investigation an attempt has been made to study the effect of use of Neem extract along with several antibiotics as a combination to overcome the occurrence of resistance.

Methods and materials: The alcoholic extract of Neem leaves was used for the study. Solution A containing Neem extract 5 mg/mL alone, Solution B comprising of Standard antibiotics alone 5 mg/mL and Solution C containing combination of 2.5 mg/mL of Neem extract and selected standard antibiotic at a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL were tested for their antibacterial potential against selected strain of micro-organisms namely Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcous aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli and Bacillus subtilis using agar plate technique.

Results: The antimicrobial activity was assessed by measuring the diameter of zone of inhibition. The results indicated the synergistic activity exhibited by the combination of Neem extracts and half the concentration of the standard antibiotics used in the study. Thus, the dose of standard antibiotics may be reduced to almost half in concentration when combined with the Neem extract without compromising the efficacy. The use of natural antibiotic thus helps to achieve reduction in dose of standard antibiotic.

Conclusion: The zone of inhibition observed were almost comparable thus the combination of neem extract and antibiotic will help to reduce the dose of standard antibiotics, thereby preventing occurrence of drug resistance. Finally it can be concluded from the research of neem extract with conventional antibiotics and their combination with antibiotic/neem extract can be used as novel antimicrobial agent against multidrug resistance pathogenic microorganism.

पृष्ठभूमि: आजकल, विभिन्न प्रकार के संक्रामक मानव रोगों के उपचार के लिए उपयोग किए जाने वाले कई एंटीबायोटिक्स में मल्टी ड्रग-रेसिस्टेंट (एमडीआर) बैक्टीरिया के उपभेदों के उभरने के कारण सीमित रोगाणुरोधी स्पेक्ट्रम होता है। इसलिए इसने प्रतिरोधी माइक्रोबियल उपभेदों के उभरने को रोकने या देरी करने के लिए संयोजन उपचार के रूप में दो या अधिक रोगाणुरोधी एजेंटों के उपयोग को बढ़ावा दिया है और कुछ मामलों में एक सहक्रियात्मक प्रभाव भी प्रदर्शित करता है जो विशेष रूप से अन्यथा प्रतिरोधी-बैक्टीरिया के मामलों में जीवाणु संक्रमण के उपचार में उपयोगी साबित होता है। नीम, भारतीय चिकित्सा पद्धति में पारंपरिक रूप से जाना जाने वाला पौधा है, जो दुनिया भर में मान्यता प्राप्त प्राकृतिक एंटीबायोटिक है। इस प्रकार, वर्तमान जांच में प्रतिरोध की घटना को दूर करने के लिए कई एंटीबायोटिक दवाओं के संयोजन के रूप में नीम के अर्क के उपयोग के प्रभाव का अध्ययन करने का प्रयास किया गया है।

तरीके और सामग्री: अध्ययन के लिए नीम के पत्तों के अल्कोहलिक अर्क का इस्तेमाल किया गया। घोल A में अकेले नीम का अर्क 5 mg/mL, घोल B में अकेले मानक एंटीबायोटिक 5 mg/mL और घोल C में 2.5 mg/mL नीम का अर्क और 2.5 mg/mL की सांद्रता पर चयनित मानक एंटीबायोटिक का संयोजन शामिल है, इनकी जीवाणुरोधी क्षमता के लिए अगर प्लेट तकनीक का उपयोग करके क्लेबसिएला न्यूमोनिया, स्टैफिलोकोकस ऑरियस, स्यूडोमोनस एरुगिनोसा, ई. कोली और बैसिलस सबटिलिस जैसे सूक्ष्म जीवों के खिलाफ परीक्षण किया गया।

परिणाम: अवरोध क्षेत्र के व्यास को मापकर रोगाणुरोधी गतिविधि का आकलन किया गया। परिणामों ने नीम के अर्क और अध्ययन में इस्तेमाल किए गए मानक एंटीबायोटिक दवाओं की आधी सांद्रता के संयोजन द्वारा प्रदर्शित सहक्रियात्मक गतिविधि को इंगित किया। इस प्रकार, नीम के अर्क के साथ संयुक्त होने पर मानक एंटीबायोटिक दवाओं की खुराक को प्रभावकारिता से समझौता किए बिना सांद्रता में लगभग आधे त��� कम किया जा सकता है। इस प्रकार प्राकृतिक एंटीबायोटिक का उपयोग मानक एंटीबायोटिक की खुराक में कमी लाने में मदद करता है।

निष्कर्ष: देखे गए अवरोध का क्षेत्र लगभग तुलनीय था, इसलिए नीम के अर्क और एंटीबायोटिक का संयोजन मानक एंटीबायोटिक दवाओं की खुराक को कम करने में मदद करेगा, जिससे दवा प्रतिरोध की घटना को रोका जा सकेगा। अंत में पारंपरिक एंटीबायोटिक दवाओं के साथ नीम के अर्क के शोध से यह निष्कर्ष निकाला जा सकता है और एंटीबायोटिक/नीम के अर्क के साथ उनके संयोजन का उपयोग बहुऔषधि प्रतिरोध रोगजनक सूक्ष्मजीव के खिलाफ उपन्यास रोगाणुरोधी एजेंट के रूप में किया जा सकता है।

6 Home remedies for dry, chapped and cracked lips

Peeling skin, chapped lips, and dry skin are repulsive. Because the skin on our lips is so thin, a variety of irritating objects in our surroundings might easily cause it. Lip cracking results from dryness that penetrates beneath the surface of the lips.

Cold, dry air is the main cause of such chapped and cracked lips. For whatever reason, you could have cracks over the lip surfaces in the winter.

Similarly, some of the chemicals in the makeup tools you use irritate your lips as well, leading to chapped, dry lips.

You may be aware that using lip balms to treat this issue can help, but this is only a short-term fix. The first line of treatment for lip dryness and its aftereffects is to moisturise and nourish your lips.

Our dentists have offered several simple and effective at-home treatments for dry, cracked lips in this post.

Scrub the dried skin in lips naturally

It is best to exfoliate the lips before applying moisture. The reason for this is that the new skin underneath the dry lip skin is unable to moisturise due to the dead cells in the dry skin above the lips.

Your lips will get hurt if you attempt to peel the skin with your hands. For this reason, we suggest using the following advice to exfoliate or get rid of dead skin cells.

Make a lip scrub paste by combining one teaspoon of sea salt with an equal amount of honey. Apply the paste to your lips with a cotton bud, then let it sit for a few minutes.

Squeeze out one teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir thoroughly after adding 1 teaspoon of honey to the extract. Next, apply the mixture to your lips and let it sit for at least ten minutes.

Natual Remedies to get rid of dry, chapped lips

You can use any of the following do-it-yourself therapies once you've determined that the peeled skin on your lips has totally healed

1) Oil

Numerous tooth issues can be resolved by the minerals, nutrients, and other organic substances found in oils. Lip cracks are not an anomaly. The following essential oils are necessary for calming and hydrating parched lips

Coconut oil: Coconut oil's antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-staphylococcal qualities help to hydrate our skin and help shield it from bacterial infections. Using a cotton swab (cotton bud) or your finger, gently massage coconut oil onto your lips.

Almond Oil: Our bodies' dryness can be eliminated by the fatty acids in this oil. As a result, it is suggested as a treatment for dry hair and lips. Almond oil can be applied to your lips using a finger or cotton swabs, just as coconut oil.

Vitamin E Oil: The collagen found in this oil works well to relieve dry lips and promote skin renewal.

2) Coriander Juice

The leaves of coriander are rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Chewing coriander leaves protects our skin's cells from oxidative damage. You can avoid chapped, dry, or cracked lips as a result.

Similarly, crush some coriander leaves in a mixie to release their juice, then dab some of it on your lips to add some humidity.

3) Honey

Honey – This sticky, thick liquid has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities. In addition to these benefits, the sweet material's abundance of wound-healing qualities allows it to moisturise and treat lip cracks.

Using your finger, apply honey on your lips and let it stay there for hours. Moreover, you can apply honey to your parched lips all day long.

4) Rose Petals and Milk Paste

Soak a handful of rose petals in a cup of unrefined milk for several hours. Next, grind the wet petals into a paste and apply it to your dry lips two or three times a day. It is also advised to apply it right before bed.

Vitamin E from rose petals nourishes the skin on the lips. Similarly, lactic acid found in milk helps exfoliate skin by removing dead cells.

This method not only heals cracked lips but also softens and restores the original colour of lips.

5) Cucumber

A highly healthy veggie, cucumber is well-known for keeping you hydrated. Using a slice of cucumber, apply the vegetable to the afflicted lips. This moisturises the parched skin of the lips and nourishes them with vital vitamins and minerals.

Alternatively, you might mash up some cucumber slices and use the mixture on your parched lips.

6) Aloe Vera Gel

Our dental health is greatly improved by the aloe vera gel's anti-inflammatory qualities. For this reason, dental professionals use it to treat gum disease, dry lips, and other conditions. Aloe vera gel's enzymes act as gentle exfoliators. It handles the elimination of the dead cells.

Take out the gel that is found in aloe vera plants. Put the gel on your lips and rub. Because aloe vera gel peels easily, you should only use it sparingly to moisten lips.

Bottom line

The dryness of our lips is an early indicator that our body is dehydrated.

Drinking lots of water, eating foods high in fluid content, and drinking green tea are crucial for preventing this oral health issue since they maintain our bodies' proper moisture levels.

In addition to dehydration, this issue is also brought on by environmental changes and the body's allergic response to cosmetic appliances. Water and other liquids are insufficient to provide a cure. Such parched, cracked, and dry lips require hydrating substances in addition to minerals to heal.

Irish blues rocker Rory Gallagher dies of a staphylococcal infection following a liver transplant at age 47.

[mightyflamethrower]

PITTSBURGH, PA — Upon witnessing the unbridled joy that comes with being treated for Hepatitis B, local man Mark Stanton has set his hopes on one day achieving that same level of happiness.

"I wish just once to feel the glee of those people being treated for a severe liver infection," said Stanton forlornly. "There they go riding off in a jeep to eat shrimp on the docks, while here I sit alone eating my microwaved Salisbury steak. If only!"

According to scenes in the commercial, patients facing a serious chronic liver infection radiate unending joy while playing pickle ball and eating bar-b-que with dozens of attractive friends. "Comparatively, my life seems so dull and empty," said Stanton. "I'm hauling my healthy liver to the same boring job every day, then coming home to the same boring apartment. I suppose it's the rut that everyone without Hepatitis B finds themselves in. Look at them, laughing on Sea-Doos and petting dolphins! Why not me, Lord? Why couldn't I be the one with Hepatitis?"

At publishing time, Stanton had become even more jealous after seeing a commercial showing how much fun you can have with methicillin-resistant staphylococcal pneumonia.
