Zachary’s stomach contributes to the formation of ulcers in other parts of the G.I. tract by the acids needed to breakdown food are excessive and cause the stomach to over work therefore causing surrounding parts to be over worked as well. If the stomach is always churning food the digestion processes is always on going. Parietal cells and gastric glands are directly related to the formation of ulcers. A major causing factor is chronic inflammation due to Helicobacter pylori that colonizes the mucosa. The immune system is unable to clear the infection, despite the appearance of antibodies. Thus, the bacterium can cause a chronic active gastritis. Gastrin stimulates the production of gastric acid by parietal cells. In…
55. a) Cuticles on the outermost layer of angiosperms are clear, which allows for light to pass through. The leaf is shaped in a way that will allow it to absorb more sunlight and be more efficient. Photosynthesis takes place in the spongy parenchyma and the palisade parenchyma. In order to obtain food, it is controlled by the stoma which controls the passage of gas and water.…
The hypothesis for this lab was that Core B will be the least flexible due to a loss in water. Unfortunately, my results led my hypothesis to be incorrect. The results that were received was that Core C was the most flexible, Core B was somewhat flexible, and Core A was not flexible and stiff.…

H. pylori can be detected in a urea breath test. Patient will be asked to swallow a liquid containing a substance called urea that is broken down by H. pylori to produce water and carbon dioxide then breath of the client will then be tested using a machine for the amount of carbon dioxide in it. If the carbon dioxide is over a certain level, H. pylori is…
Salmonella is a bacillus bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family which can be devided into two species which is Salmonella bongori and Salmonella enterica, and another six subspecies can be divided from the species of Salmonella enterica, which are enterica, salamae, arizonae, diarizonae, houtenae and indica. Salmonellae are found globally in all types on animals, and also in the environment. From an article researched, proposed by C. Wray and A. Wray, it is stated that one of the main habitat of Salmonella is in the digestive tracts of animals which is responsible for diarrhea and also typhoid-like syndromes. Salmonella was first discovered in the year of 1885, when a medical research scientist T.Smith which isolated bacteria from swine…
Food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. While the United States has one of the safest food supplies in the world, preventing foodborne illness remains a major public health challenge. Often when you purchase foods from the grocery store or the food market, you have to check all the expiration dates. When a food is expired, they tend to give you a sign that the food is no good. For example, when you go to the store and shop for bread, you have to check the expiration date. If you purchase bread when the date on the bread is expired, the bread will mold within in the next three days or so. The same situation with the expiration dates is for meat as well.…
Clostridium Difficile is an infectious disease that is healthcare related requiring immediate attention by hospital staff. If left untreated this disease can become fatal. The mortality rate for patients that are diagnosed with severe Clostridium Difficile is 30 to 85 percent of patients that h better education for staff about the symptoms and means of spreading , prescribing fewer antibiotics unnecessarily, and introducing ways to help the patient deal with the antibiotics, and berrer hand washing for all staff ("Clostridium Difficile Infection," 2010). By making sure, that all health providers clean their hands with soap and water before and after caring for a patient, we can prevent the spread of this infection ("Clostridium Difficile Infection," 2010). Treatment for Clostridium Difficile can depend on the severity of the symptoms that are presented (Keske & Letizia, 2010).…
Typhoid Fever is a life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. Annually in the united states 5700 cases are reported. In the majority of the cases reported, the infected were traveling internationally. Typhoid Fever is still very common throughout the world where it is estimated to infect 21.5 million people per year. Even with advanced prevention and treatment Typhoid Fever is still easily contracted and is a threat to all military members while deployed or in a field environment.…
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines that causes ulceration in the small and large intestines, but affects the digestive system between the mouth and the anus. Once the disease begins, it tends to be a chronic, recurrent condition with periods of remission and disease exacerbation. The disease tends to be more common in relatives of patients with Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease affects males and females at the same rate, normally between the ages of 10 and 30 y/s. Jewish people form Eastern European have a higher chance of CD. Genetic susceptibility and altered immunologic response to the normal bowel flora are the risk factors of CD. In addition, “Increased suppressor T cell activity, alterations in immunoglobulin A (IgA) production, macrophage activation, luminal flora, antigens, and susceptibility genes are factors associated with Crohn disease” (McCance & Huether, 2012, p.909). Overall, this paper is focusing on the steps of Crohn’s disease to cause ulcers in the small intestine, colon or both, their symptoms, their complications and pathogenic changes.…

After the Helicobacter pylori infection is treated, my mom told me the reason I got the infection is because I did not exercise and eat properly. So I decided to cut down the video hours and spend three hours each day in the afternoon to lift weight then spend the rest of the night to study and do homework, and I only play video games in the weekend or when I have my free time.

When I started to see my muscles, I began to get bored of video games and started to love gym and spend every day and every weekend at the gym to build my…
