associated with it, including cost, side effects, and even effectiveness. Therefore, I created two analogs in an attempt to improve Lamisil, which I will discuss in my paper. Plenty of fungal problems exist, including athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and onychomycosis (fungal infection beneath nails). However, many antifungal drugs exist as well, such as Lamisil, which is the most effective. Using the molecule terbinafine hydrochloride, it puts holes in the cell membranes of fungal cells,
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

(CAS304: 1.1) I would match the details of the animal I should be collecting against the information displayed on the ward’s procedure/treatment board, any collars or tags the animal may be wearing, and the cage label, which includes the patient signalment. The signalment details the sex, age, species
WHAT IS THE CONDITION/ILLNESS Tinea, or ringworm as it is often known as, is a highly contagious fungal skin infection (Herlihy, 2011) caused by dermatophytes. There are many different types of ringworm that can form; - Tinea pedis or athletes foot, is found on the foot area; - Tinea capitis is found on the scalp; - Tinea barbae which is found on bearded areas of the neck and face; - Tinea corporis is found on the body; - Tinea cruris is located in the groin area; - Tinea faciei, which is when it
Bacterial Infections of Humans Caused by Bites of Animals (NOT insects) Introduction Animal bites on humans may cause open wounds or even crushing injuries. Like us, all animals carry certain bacteria or viruses that can cause illness if passed on to humans via the open wounds. The pathogen entry pathway for these zoonotic infections include bites or scratches, and direct contact saliva or waste. These diseases bring about a considerable amount of inconvenience to humans and therefore, the greatest
they do not have any vaccines. An animal with a skin problem can turn be bad for the person who touches the animal, because if they has the smallest cut they can get infected with what the animal was carrying. Cat contain ringworms, with one single scratch can result a ringworm, they itch and sometimes hurt as well. The reason we get this is because the cat is not properly taken care of and it has no shots or any medical background. When touching a stray animal really do not know what you are coming
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
Human skin contains about the same number of melanocytes for each individual. Melanocytes are found in the epidermis of the skin. It is possible for every skin color to have a similar number of melanocytes because melanocytes produce a substance called melanin. Melanin breaks down into two substances called eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin is what controls how dark your skin will be. The more eumelanin the darker your skin. Genetics is what will determine how much and what kind of pigment you
America is often known as the land of opportunity, a place where you can be free. Many Immigrants came to America so that they could have a greater possibility at succeeding in life. Immigrants took a leap of faith when coming to America, for some it worked out well but for others they had a difficult time here. Despite the struggles that the immigrants encountered such as; standing out from others, being separated from their families, and breaking their culture, the immigrants are still grateful
It can cause health problem and illness in people such as respiratory problems, pneumonia, athlete’s foot, allergic reactions, and ringworm. Although, mold can be a serious issue in the home and around people it can be beneficial. Molds like to live off of dead or dying sources because it's easier and faster for the spores to grow. Because of this it can decompose and breakdown fallen
Rabies, Tuberculosis, Ringworm, and Malaria. People can get all of these diseases just by being by someone, living with someone, or the worst is just getting it from there filthy houses (Katie Davis “Kisses From Katie” p. 6, p. 7, and Our Africa-Health). HIV and AIDS is very common in Uganda and is very deadly. Anyone and everyone can get it by just living in the same house and that’s why around 10 percent of the population has it including adults and children (UNAIDS). Ringworm is fungi that grows
Chemistry has had a large impact on medicine as we know it today. In fact medicine would have never gotten as advanced as it has today without chemistry to help it out. Everything that medicine does is based on chemistry at its core. A long time ago when there was not nearly as much knowledge of chemistry and the medicine was much more basic as well. All of medicine is made of different elements in one way or another. Chemistry will probably also have impacts on the discoveries in medicine yet to
It also helps evade infections like warts, boils, athlete’s foot and chronic itching. 2. Ringworms: Castor oil effectively treats ringworms, a common and stubborn skin problem across all age groups. The active compound called undecylenic acid, found in castor oil, helps treat ringworms successfully. 3. Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Castor oil, when applied to the skin, penetrates deep and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This
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 soldiers also carried diseases like malaria, dysentery, lice, ringworm, leeches, paddy algae, and various rots and molds (14). This signifies how poor and close the soldiers living conditions were. The items they carried were not only a physical burden but also a reminder of the fear which lies underneath. Jimmy Cross
unfolds through the eyes of Josh Arnold, the strong-willed, independent son of Frank Arnold, a respected and wealthy man in Sagrado, New Mexico during the times of World War II. When Josh was two he began to become immune to things like Indian fire and ringworm which was the primary cause for their summerhouse in Sagrado. The Arnolds moved from Mobile, Alamabama during the War to live year long in Sagrado when Frank had a conviction to serve his time in the U.S. Navy. Once there, Josh met Steenie, a role
Sweat sweeps out, slowly gliding down and finally dripping off his face. His heart races as he huffs and puffs. He stutter steps, pulls out, fakes again, and quickly turns from right to left outwitting his opponent and grabbing onto his leg. He doesn’t even think about it anymore. His movements steadily have become reflexes and his reflexes are second nature. The time is quickly winding down and his team needs the victory to win the dual meet. He holds on to his opponent's legs, tightly gripping
Initial Set-up Cost: Cost to purchase Chinchilla Depending on whether you choose to purchase the chinchilla from a breeder or a pet store, the price can vary. The price can range anywhere from $75 - $250. I bought Twister for $150. Housing/ Living Arrangement Chinchillas need large cages that have multiple floors so they can jump, run, and stretch their legs, as they are very active animals. The cage can be wire, but the wire should have very small spacing between it, as their feet can get easily
self-esteem. We can also assume loved ones will feel more comfortable spending time with the patient because they are not dirty or smelly. Most importantly cleanliness can help to prevent medical conditions that thrive in unsanitary conditions (ringworms, rashes infections etc.). • Pain Management – Pain can be the cause of a lot of misery for persons with a terminal illness and at the end of their life. Sometimes pain can become so unbearable that a patient would prefer to pass away.
Hair dye is usually a soluble substance for staining or colouring hair. There are mainly two types of hair dye which are fully chemical based, partially chemical and natural based dyes. Under chemically based hair dyes there are permanent, demi-permanent, semi-permanent and temporary hair dyes. On the other hand, natural hair dyes are of two types which are henna based and organic based. Henna is a plant that grows in dry, hot climates. When its leaves are harvested, dried and powdered and then mixed
