USAmerican problems in providing healthcare are resulting in the spread of antibacterial-resistant strains.

On top of the overuse of antibiotics contributing to the development of antibacterial-resistant bacteria, people who leave their entire country to access affordable medical care are at a very high risk of spreading resistant bacteria around. This study, for example, found that 30% of international travellers returned with a antimicrobial resistant bacterium. Now consider that that is among completely healthy travellers, and that hospitals tend to be hotbeds for antibiotic and antimicrobial resistant strains of bacteria.

Not only is it dangerous for the individual to leave the country for healthcare (what if you don’t speak the language? Do you have a place to safely recover there? What if you have a complication but you’ve already arrived back at your home country?), not only is it absolutely ludicrous and dystopian that someone in a country with the ability to have good quality medical care would have to LEAVE to actually get such care, it’s also contributing to one of the biggest problems in medical science today.

Universal healthcare is a necessity.

Lactophenol cotton blue - Aspergillus versicolor. Don't ask me how I know this, this was speciated well after I took the picture. It is recognizably, however, Aspergillus.

An intranasal combination vaccine induces systemic and mucosal immunity against COVID-19 and influenza - npj Vaccines

Cells and viruses HEK-293, 293 T, Huh7, MDCK, and VeroE6 cells were all cultured in growth media (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium, 10% fetal bovine serum, and antibiotics) and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2. SARS-CoV-2 wild-type SH01 strain (GenBank: MT121215), Delta, BA.2, BA.5.1, and BA.5.2 were obtained from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention after isolation from patients in…

Biostimulation of Diesel Polluted Soil using Poultry Droppings

Abstract

Bio stimulation is a form of bioremediation that involves the optimization of soil conditions such as pH, moisture, oxygen etc. to improve pollutant degradation. It embodies the introduction/ addition of nutrients to aid microbial growth. The impact of diesel pollution on the physicochemical properties of soil and the effects of remediation using poultry droppings was investigated. Sample soil, polluted with diesel was simulated in a single bio-treatment unit. Before contamination, the soil sample was characterized after digestion (using 1:1 ratio of 0.25M hydrochloric acid and Nitric acid) to determine the intrinsic properties of the soil. For effective treatment, a 2:1 mixture (w/w) of the polluted soil and the substrate in addition to 25ml of nutrient agar was utilized. The physicochemical properties of soil and rate of pollutant degradation after remediation was monitored for a period of 8 weeks. The initial total heterotrophic bacterial (THB) present in the experimental soil at week 1, was 2.44×105 cfu/g. The total heterotrophic bacterial after bioremediation was 3.74×105 cfu/ g. Also, the total hydrocarbon content (THC) decreased from an initial value of 7.89 mg/kg at week 1 to 2.67mg/kg at week 8. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of poultry droppings as a potent remediation tool for diesel polluted soil.

hello friends. i do not scream about the fact that i am a biology major often enough. it is the best thing ever. im obsessed with biology. so now you are gonna see art about it.

anyways the other day i was thinkin about bacteriophages being used to fight infections that are resistant to antibiotics (superbugs) and i was like "it is so silly that the immune cells are working WITH viruses for once" and then it came to me

today in insane anti-intellectualism: I just saw a post about how aspiring healthcare practitioners shouldn't take classes in biology and chemistry because those subjects are useless and bad. ????

#the op was like “they should have to study literature and the human condition like ME” #and it's like. hmmmm. I can understand where you're coming from here buddy but maybe think for a hot second #about why aspiring doctors have to take biology 101 before they can jump right into microbial genetics and viral pathogenesis or whatever #like. these classes build on each other. you absolutely need a basic understanding of college-level bio and chem before you can do anything #as someone who is very passionate about both science and writing #(I am getting a degree in microbiology and medical HUMANITIES. because I LIKE HUMANITIES) #I hate the rhetoric that certain STEM subjects are lame boring loser classes for closed-minded idiots who can't see the beauty in the world #there is so much beauty in biology and chemistry and physics! the universe is so big and weird and fascinating #but you'll never see that if you have the mentality that YOUR favorite subjects are the Only Ones That Matter Ever #for the record (as someone who's taken a lot of STEM and humanities classes recently) both STEM and humanities majors do this #and it's obnoxious no matter where it's coming from

Cell Junctions

-- there are three types of junctions:      -- tight      -- desmosome      -- gap

-- tight junctions seal epithelial cells to one another

-- desmosomes have “spotted” seals, where keratin filaments anchor the two cells

-- gap junctions have channels to allow the passage of ions and molecules

Evolution of COVID-19 infection in Punjab; trends during five waves of infection in the province of Punjab - BMC Infectious Diseases

The work presented in this manuscript provides trends in infection in the 5th wave, which was predominantly by the Omicron variant. The wave was associated with increased transmission rates. The Ct data indicated that younger individuals, irrespective of gender, had lower Ct values, indicative of higher viral burden which is likely to be associated with severe infections. Additionally, the…

Sometimes I forget how much shit McCoy canonically knows, at least to a degree of competence. Like ok sure he's not an Engineer or a bricklayer but he's damn well more than "a simple, country doctor"; he's got the sciences badge instead of the medical one for a reason

#like 23rd century be damned #mccoy wears so many medical hats #as well as a decent amount of understanding of biology/microbiology #and i mean. the guy whipped up a whoke cure in Miri with a team of 3 agitated ppl #himself #an old microscope #only spock to immediately bounce ideas off of #and very limited access to ship computers #he formulated a non-lethal fainting formula from ancient materials by hand #so thats chemistry #and back to the (micro)biology—he *was* a genuine option to end out in the immunity syndrome #and swinging back to miri—both pharmacology and virology with a hint of epidemiology #Oh! and he's delivered babies on multiple occasions. no word on if he's particularly trained in gynecology or obstetrics but. #frankly i wouldnt put it past him to be trained in obstetrics and midwifery #like yes a lot of his fields of knowledge are medical #but even in a far future it seems p wild that hes *this* widely competent aross fields like. #physicians are who ppl think of when they hear 'doctor' #and he is a physician #he's just. also. a surgeon. allegedly he is a space psychologist as well #and then see above for grounds to argue he knows pharmacology virology epidemiology and obstetrics/midwifery too #and knows biology and chemistry #no wonder he wanta tk study everything

My wife wanted some cute lil guys to go in a group project on her Medical Lab Tech course, and I was more than happy to oblige! So enjoy these little mascots of the different disciplines and subjects that people need to learn in order to work in a medical lab!
