To guarantee consumer health, it is essential that these traditional treats are microbiologically safe. This study used the multiple tube test to evaluate the microbiological quality of milk- based Indian sweets sold in and around Kolkata. 80 samples in all were gathered, and the microbial contamination was examined. According to the findings, 64 of the 80 samples (or 80%) tested positively for different bacterial species. The identified bacterial strains included Acinetobacter baumannii (2.5%), Aeromonas schubertii (1.25%), Citrobacter freundii (2.5%), Citrobacter koseri (8.75%), Enterobacter cloacae (15%), Escherichia coli (12.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (2.5%), Klebsiella aerogenes (28.75%), and Klebsiella oxytoca (6.25%). The quality and safety of the region's milk-based Indian sweets are questioned by the presence of these pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria. The likelihood of foodborne infections linked to these sweets is shown by the prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae members. Since these traditional treats are prepared, stored, and distributed by regulatory agencies and sweet vendors, strict hygiene and quality control standards must be put in place.","PeriodicalId":206529,"journal":{"name":"Journal Healthcare Treatment Development","volume":" 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139620834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most spoken about, however, is alkaline water which has a host of supposed health benefits? For instance, it is known to help the body to clear toxins thereby improving metabolism. Meanwhile, research has shown that most diseases, illnesses, and bad bacteria thrive in an over-acidic environment. Additionally, the acidic water indirectly may impact on budget as this would contribute to the metallic or sour taste of drinking water, and stained laundry and provide blue-green staining of sinks and other household fixtures. Acidic water having low pH often are known to contain high amounts of heavy metals. Also, research has found that solutions with low pH are more likely to have heavy metals from the environment. Other researchers have identified that acidic water can be high in Pb, As, Cu, Ni, Cb, Cr, and Zn. All these elements fall under heavy metals and exposure to them can be dangerous, and could lead to heavy metal poisoning and toxicity.

Social media is a very powerful medium of spreading any kind of information, but not all information is right and useful for the audience. Sometimes the information shared on social media can be misleading and have negative impacts on the course of life of the audience which is consuming it. In adverse situations the information available on public health can either be a boon or curse for the audience. The objective of this study is to understand the impact social media disseminated misinformation has on the decision making of people, further uncovering the impact it has on their health. The data will be collected by conducting a survey with the audience that spends a significant amount of their day on social media platforms.

In spite of a full diagnostic workup, the causes of Asthenospermia are not always clear; accordingly, there are a lot of controversies about the best treatment for such a condition. Aim of the study: To evaluate the validity of two treatment modalities for patients with pure Asthenospermia, one surgical (varicocelectomy) and the other medical (L-carnitine supplementation), by following changes in seminal fluid parameters. Patients and methods: A prospective study was conducted at AL-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital/Urology Department from 23rd August 2021 to 18th April 2022. One hundred eighteen infertile male patients were included. Patients were divided in two groups: Surgical arm (71 patients with different grades of varicoceles) and the medical arm (47 patients with no overt clinical varicoceles). For all patients, a full assessment had been done, including at least two seminal fluid analyses as a baseline (to document the presence of pure Asthenospermia). Surgical arm patients were treated with subinguinal varicocelectomy, and medical arm patients were treated with oral supplementation of L-carnitine 1 gm/day. Patients in both groups were followed for 6-12 months by repeated seminal fluid analyses to check the changes in sperm motility. Adverse effects of the treatment were also checked during follow-up visits. Results and Discussion: Surgical arm patients included were 26,23, and 12 patients with varicocele grades 1,2, and 3, respectively, and ten patients with subclinical varicoceles. Medical arm patients included were 32 patients with no varicoceles and 15 patients with subclinical varicoceles. Changes in seminal fluid parameters (total Sperms motility status) after treatment were statistically significant in the varicocelectomy group, and improvement in the seminal fluid parameters was directly related to the grade of the varicoceles with no significant improvement in the patients with subclinical varicoceles. In the medical arm, we achieved an improvement in sperm motility status, but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Patients with pure Asthenospermia and clinically detected varicoceles are best treated by varicocelectomy, and the more grade varicoceles, the better results are achieved. L-carnitine supplementation for patients with pure Asthenospermia proved to be beneficial and safe, but when given alone, it was not enough to raise sperm motility status to normal values.","PeriodicalId":206529,"journal":{"name":"Journal Healthcare Treatment Development","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129855741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was observed that the ulcer diameter started decreasing until it completely disappeared after 22 days from the start of the experiment. Additionally, the aqueous extract of Astragalus spinosus was also used on mice at a concentration of 75% in the second group to treat the ulcer caused by Leishmania parasite. The ulcer size decreased from 5 mm after three days of the experiment to 1 mm after twenty days of the experiment, and then it completely disappeared after 22 days from the start of the experiment. The role of Astragalus spinosus extracts in healing the skin tissues infected with Leishmania parasite involves reducing inflammation and stimulating the immune system. This is due to the active compounds present in Astragalus spinosus, such as flavonoids and triterpenoids, which possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties make it effective in treating skin injuries. The epidermal cells of the skin organized in rows surrounded from the outside by keratin material in the form of darkcolored threads, while the dermis contained numerous bundles of fibrous tissue with infiltrated white blood cells and macrophages around the hair follicles.","PeriodicalId":206529,"journal":{"name":"Journal Healthcare Treatment Development","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133890609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay reviewed the most recent epidemiology and public health information on bovine salmonellosis. It is brought on by S. typhimurium and Dublin species, which are the aetiological agents of diarrhoeal and systemic infections in humans. These species are most frequently found as secondary contaminants in food derived from animals and the environment, usually as a result of subclinical infection in food animals leading to contamination of meat, eggs, and milk or secondary contamination of fruits and vegetables that have been fertilized or irrigated by faecal wastes. Salmonellae are frequently found in large quantities in the environment, farm waste, human sewage, and any material that has been contaminated by feces. The normal inhibition of Salmonella is primarily disrupted in the rumen and small intestine when I starvation or reduced feed intake occur, (ii) the feeding strategy results in an increased pH in the abomasum, and (iii) antibiotic treatment kills the normal competing microflora of the intestine. These bacteria have developed mechanisms to survive and cope with the host inhibiting factors. Through the columnar enterocytes and specialized microfold enterocytes, the bacteria cling to and infiltrate intestinal cells in the mucosa mostly linked with the Peyer's patches in the terminal jejunum and ileum (M cells). Treatment for Salmonella infections that are not typhoidal in humans differs from that for typhoidal infections. Antibiotics should not be routinely used in the treatment of nontyphoidal Salmonella infection. Antibiotics should only be used when absolutely necessary because most non-typhoidal Salmonella infections are of the self-limiting variety, and their usage has little to no effect on the length of diarrhea or fever. Subacute antibiotic medication can potentially lengthen gastrointestinal carrier states and promote infection relapse. Therefore, spreading knowledge about the virus's significance for public health, using management techniques based on science, and practicing good hygiene are essential to reducing the risks of contracting the infection.","PeriodicalId":206529,"journal":{"name":"Journal Healthcare Treatment Development","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117152111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: This paper aims to evaluate the outcomes of patients with sepsis and find out the mortality rate. Patients and methods: This paper was presented as a cross-sectional study where specialize to evaluate the outcomes of patients with sepsis and find out the mortality rate which get 100 cases in different hospitals in Iraq from 26th August to 18th 2022. This paper was analysed and evaluated of mortality rate with sepsis patients by SPSS program. The characteristics of demographic baseline outcomes were progressed with females and males for ages older than 25 and under than 70 years. Discussion: The interdisciplinary sepsis quality improvement project resulted in a considerable improvement in organizational sepsis mortality at the study hospital, with an observed sepsis mortality decrease of 8%. This resulted in a 37% decrease in sepsis O/E mortality. Patients having sepsis were considerably fewer likely to die following the intervention despite adjusting for patient variables and predicted mortality (OR = 0.64). Septic patients had an ICU stay that was 1.3 days shorter and an overall hospital stay that was 2.6 days shorter. With a baseline rate of death of 30% and an observed rate of mortality of 18.9%, the study team believes that the sepsis campaign saved 56 lives. There is significant evidence that sepsis teaching initiatives have a good impact. The study of complications was found to be fewer in comparisons with previous studies were, got 46 cases, and the risk factor of complications was got a higher percentage considered as death and gangrene, with 24 cases, where that result to blood loss during operative and reduce with blood pressure. Conclusion: The implementation of our study into the sepsis quality improvement program resulted in a decrease within the overall in-hospital sepsis death rate. Patients with sepsis during the treatment period had an approximate 35% decreased probability of dying. ICU days and total hospital LOS were also considerably reduced.
