Airway mucus is part of inborn immunity that facilitates the elimination of inhaled microorganisms. Antibacterial mechanisms such as lysozymes and defensins‚ which are contained in airway mucus‚ are key components of this inborn immunity (Gerson et al. 2000). While this defense mechanisms remains prevalent in cystic fibrosis patients it appears to be compromised in that it allows the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in airway mucus. The fact that people with cystic fibrosis are equally exposed to

Figure 1 describe the total phenolic content of coffee (raw‚ roasted and spent) and black tea (raw and spent tea). Both of coffee and black tea contain reasonable amount of phenolic‚ however‚ the total phenolic compound in black tea is much higher than those of coffee‚ which was found to be 104.3 and 187.50 mg GAE /g in raw coffee and black tea‚ respectively. Similarly‚ the spent coffee contained less amount of phenolic (97.87mg GAE /g) than those in spent black tea (152.87 mg GAE /g). The analysis

Tinnitus referred as ears ringing‚ in humans‚ can be caused by a variety of factors; such as high-level sound exposure‚ ototoxic drugs‚ and hearing loss. It is basically the self perception of sound in the absence of acoustic stimulation. the sound waves hit the outer ear and converge into the ear drum. The vibrations at ear drum are transferred into the inner rear through the middle ear. Once the sound waves reach inner ear‚ they travel through the cochlea towards the organ of corti. Further the

Abstract Discussed is some of the research that has been conducted on the role of the amygdala in anxiety‚ as well as the role of GABA and benzodiazepines in anxiety. Research has indicated through amygdala lesions and stimulation that the amygdala does indeed play a major role in the expression of anxiety. Research has also indicated‚ through drug infusions to the amygdala‚ that benzodiazepines cause anxiolysis (by increasing GABA transmission)‚ and that benzodiazepine antagonists increase anxiety

Secret trusts arise where a testator explains to X that they want property to be held on trust for Y and then leaves the property to X in their Will. It is also possible that a secret trust arises where in reliance on a promise to implement the trust by X‚ no Will is made (Strickland v Aldridge 1804 9 Ves 516 REF1). The onus of proving a secret trust is on the person claiming that it exists‚ on the balance of probabilities - the ’ordinary civil standard of proof’ (Re Snowden 1979 3 All ER 172 REF2)
