  Historical and Current Conditions Including COVID-19 Requiring Anti-Pathogenic Surveillance and Proper Immunogenic Support Abstract Everyone on the planet will eventually be exposed to COVID-19. The question of who will get ill, who will die and who will survive will depend more on appropriate preparations than on a vaccine. In addition, this current pandemic threat may pose a harbinger of what is yet to come. The key is to strengthen our immunological support and surveillance. In this way, we will have greater capacity to address future variant viral strains. This brief communication explores some of the historical, societal and economic sequelae resulting from pandemics. It will also embark upon some promising stabilizing treatments. Keywords:  Effective COVID-19 Solution, COVID-19, Virus, IgG, IgM, Alternative Treatments, Health Hydration drink, Antimicrobial Solution, Pandemic Solution, Pandemic History, African Farming Threats, Third World Pandemic Effects.

  Essential Oils, an Answer to the Dilemma of Multiply Resistant Bacteria? Abstract Antibiotic resistance is an increasing worldwide phenomenon. Recently, there has been an interest in using essential oils (EO) both in and out of the hospital. Most current research concentrates on the antimicrobial activity of Tea tree. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of 10 EO, (Tea tree, Thyme, Lavender, German chamomile, Peppermint, Palma rosa, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus citriodora, Lemongrass and Rose) against multiply resistant organisms. Twenty five strains of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), ten strains of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus sp. (VRE), and 5 strains of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) or Amp C resistant gram negative rods were tested. An aromatogram (Bauer- Kirby [KB]), killing curve, and synergy tests were performed against the isolates. Organisms were classified as multiply resistant using NCCLS approved methods. The bacter...

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Edible Macroalgae: Beneficial Resource of Iodine

  Edible Macroalgae: Beneficial Resource of Iodine Abstract Iodine is an essential element required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Its deficiency is correlated to goiter, while in excess can cause autoimmune thyroiditis. Worldwide exists a deficiency in iodine, and recommended daily intake should be 150μg for adults. One of the most naturally available and abundant resources of iodine is macroalgae, which may contain it in several orders different concentrations, depends primarily on species. To accomplish the recommended daily intake of iodine, it is important to know the exact concentration of iodine in macroalgae, dried and/ or processed. Keywords:  Iodine; Thyroid Hormones, Goiter; Hypothyroidism; Recommended Daily Intake; Natural Food Sources of Iodine; Macroalgae; Dried and processed Macro algae; Bioavailability Introduction Iodine is a trace element, the essential constituent of thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), both having an important...

  Banking Progenitor Cells for Hippiatric Regenerative Medicine: Optimized Establishment of Safe and Consistent Cell Sources for Standardized Veterinary Therapeutic Protocols Abstract Acute musculoskeletal injuries in large animals such as horses or camels often result in productivity losses and euthanasia in racing, esthetic or stock animal industries. Bioengineered products for tissue reconstruction and wound healing may supplement traditional veterinary surgical care synergistically. Banked primary fetal progenitor cells can potentially be used towards structural and functional therapeutic restoration in condensed timeframes. Extensive clinical experience exists in our University Hospital working with dermal progenitor fibroblasts for managing burns, donor site grafts and ulcers. By extrapolation, the present study assessed suitability of equine fetal progenitor cell sources for biotechnological processing, robust cell banking and application in tissue engineering strategies for...
