Archaebacteria are the oldest organisms living on the Earth. They are
unicellular prokaryotes and belong to the kingdom, Archaea. They were first
discovered in 1977 and classified as bacteria. Most archaebacteria appear like
bacteria, when observed under the microscope. However, they are quite
different from bacteria and eukaryotic organisms.
Archaebacteria are found in very harsh conditions such as in the volcanic vents
or at the bottom of the sea. They can easily survive in such extreme
environment as sea vents releasing sulfide-rich gases, hot springs, or boiling
mud around volcanoes.

Food Microorganisms
Food microbiology encompasses the study of microorganisms that have either a
beneficial or deleterious effect on the quality and safety of foods.
Food microbiology focuses on the microorganisms that are found in and around foods.
It includes studies of microbial growth characteristics, identification, and prevention.
Specific areas of interest are: foodborne illness, food spoilage, food preservation,
sanitation, and food legislation. These interest areas comprise this course.
The microbiological world consists of bacteria, yeasts, molds, viruses, parasites,
algae and prions. All except algae are considered food microorganisms. Let’s look at
each group briefly.
Bacteria
Bacteria are prokaryotes because they do not possess nuclei. They have a normal
double stranded DNA genome. Sometimes there may be extracellular DNA fragments
known as plasmids. Plasmids can often encode proteins that make the cell enhanced
such as antibiotic resistance.
Plasmids can be shared with other
cells usually of a similar genus or
species. The DNA clusters in the
center of the cell forming a nucleoid.
(If it had a membrane around it, it
would be a nucleus). Closely
associated with the nucleoid are the
ribosomes. Ribosomes translate
DNA into amino acids which are the
building blocks of proteins.
Discuss plasmids and food
microbiology
The main interior is called the
cytoplasm. This is where water,
enzymes, and nutrients all work to
power the cell. There are three main
functions, energy production,
metabolism and catabolism. Energy
naturally is in the form of ATP
generated from metabolic reactions.
Metabolism also consists of enzymes
that build up the components of the
cell. Catabolism consists of enzymes
that break down nutrients. All three
work congruently.
Figure 1. Diagram of bacterial structures.
Discuss catabolic enzymes and food
microbiology
The cytoplasm is surrounded by a
cytoplasmic membrane which
determines what goes in and out of
the organism. Water, dissolved gases
(e.g. CO2 and O2) and lipid-soluble
molecules simply diffuse across the
phospholipid bilayer. Water-soluble
ions generally pass through small
pores in the membrane. All other
molecules require carrier molecules to
transport them through the
membrane.
Discuss membrane function and food
microbiology
Immediately outside of the
cytoplasmic membrane is the cell
wall. This is the component that
stains differently in the Gram stain.
Red is gram negative a thinner peptidoglycan cell wall. Blue or purple is gram positive
usually a much thicker peptidoglycan cell wall. Its main function is structural. The cell
wall provides the bacteria shape: cocci, rods, spirals, etc.
External to the cell wall in SOME bacteria is a capsule layer.
This is a polysaccharide/protein layer that can protect the cell
from desiccation. There are other benefits. Similar to a
capsule, s ...

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
5. Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes can live in the coldest, hottest, most
acidic and most highly pressurized environments.
They can live in places such as beneath the earth in
bare rock, under glaciers, floating around in clouds
and miles down on the sea floor at temperatures
greater than 100 C.
7. Bacteria
Bacteria live mostly on the surfaces of objects where
they grow as colonies.
Bacteria are important in making soil, feeding cows,
controlling insects, making medicines, making
bioplastics, making plants grow, degrading pollutants
such as oil and plastics as well as in causing disease.
8. Bacteria
Most bacterial species are un-named and unidentified
Tens of thousands of species have been isolated
There are more than 15,000 known species of bacteria
living in the sea
Most famous is E.coli (Escherichia coli)
10. E.coli
well studied
cell envelope
plasma membrane constitutes #2
pili (for adherence to cells)
flagella (for propulsion through aqueous
environment)
chemistry similar to ours
11. E.coli
Some strains frequently cause diarrhea in
travelers, and it is the most common cause of
urinary tract infections
One strain, designated O157:H7, is particularly
virulent and has been responsible for several
dangerous outbreaks in people eating
contaminated food (usually undercooked
hamburger).
Several important drugs (insulin, for example) are
now manufactured in E. coli
17. Golgi
Cellular post office
Proteins synthesized in the ER are packaged with
extras such as
SO4
2-
, carbohydrates, lipid moieties
Then, the proteins are directed to either the cell
membrane to outside the cell or within the cell.
In other words, the proteins are flagged for their next
destination
18. Mitochondria
ATP production
has its own DNA
uses nutrients to make energy
In plants, chloroplasts makes sugar from sunlight
Endosymbiotic theory
21. Cytoskeleton
internal organization, assists the plasma membrane
in retaining cell shape, and allows the cell to move
microtubules
rods from tubulin
arrangement
motion
Actin: protein filament for cell rigidity
Myosin: moves along actin using ATP
23. Viruses
Contains nucleic acid surrounded by protective
shell or capsid
Uses host cells enzymes and ribosomes for
replication
Lysogenic phase: viruses may remain dormant
inside host cells for long periods. There is no
obvious change in their host cells
Can enter the lytic phase: new viruses are
produced, assemble, and burst out of the host cell.
The cell is killed and other cells are infected
25. Bacteriophages
Viruses that infect bacteria
Commonly used in molecular biology
DNA isolated from tissue---> Packaged into
bacteriophage DNA---> Bacteria culture grown
and infected with bacteriophage---> DNA of
interest is replicated and studied either on DNA
level or protein level
