Smoking - effects on your body Summary Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco smoke that causes smokers to continue to smoke. Addicted smokers need enough nicotine over a day to �feel normal� � to satisfy cravings or control their mood. How much nicotine a smoker needs determines how much smoke they are likely to inhale‚ no matter what type of cigarette they smoke. Along with nicotine‚ smokers also inhale about 7‚000 other chemicals in cigarette smoke. Many of these chemicals come from burning

There are all other opinions on the nomenclature of some of the streptococci in the identification systems in the UK and USA. There are now 99 known species of Streptococcus‚ and many of these are related with disease in humans and animals (Thompson et al.‚ 2013). Streptococci are Gram positive cocci (spherical or ovoid) that most of the time occur in pairs and chains. Streptococci are facultatively anaerobic and catalase

through intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Tellurite inhibits the cellular response to oxidative stresses. To inhibit the growth of most normal bacterial inhabitants of the upper respiratory tract‚ including most species of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus‚ is to inhibit the growth of aerobic organisms through the presence of oxygen and high concentration of tellurite. Reactive oxygen species compounds such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‚ superoxide anion (O2-) and hydroxyl redical

reddened skin‚ and less commonly‚ small blisters may form and burst. Etiology Cellulitis occurs when one or more types of bacteria enter through a crack or break in your skin. The two most common types of bacteria that are causes of cellulitis are streptococcus and staphylococcus. The incidence of a more serious staphylococcus infection called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasing. Although cellulitis can occur anywhere on your body‚ the most common location is the lower leg

It can spread rapidly to other parts of the body. Cellulitis can affect only the skins surface‚ or it can affect tissues underlying the skin and can spread to lymph nodes and even the bloodstream. Cellulitis occurs when bacteria‚ most commonly streptococcus and staphylococcus enter through breaks in the skin. One of the most serious infections is called Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Bacteria is most likely to enter the body through disrupted areas of skin‚ such as areas of recent

Signs and symptoms of Conjunctivitis‚ Swelling of conjunctiva and watering of the eyes are symptoms common to all forms of conjunctivitis. However‚ the pupils should be normally reactive‚ and the visual acuity normal. Viral Viral conjunctivitis is often associated with an infection of the upper respiratory tract‚ a common cold‚ and/or a sore throat. Its symptoms include excessive watering and itching. The infection usually begins with one eye‚ but may spread easily to the other. Viral conjunctivitis
