Cutaneous anthrax is the most common form of anthrax infection, and it is also considered to be the least dangerous. Infection usually develops from 1 to 7 days after exposure.
When anthrax spores get into the skin, usually through a cut or scrape, a person can develop cutaneous anthrax.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

2. Many things in this world are available for people to use as a safety
mechanism but killing has always been the fool proof choice which is
often used by human beings as their ultimate option. It has been
millennia since people learned how to eliminate the threat but the
methods have been improvising over and over again.
Poison is without a doubt one of the most effective of the methods. If we
look at our history, we see that using snake poison to kill a person or to
defeat kingdoms and countries was quite often but there are a few
poisons which are deadliest and can kill within a matter of minutes.
3. Arsenic has been called “The King of Poisons”, for its discreetness and
potency – it was virtually undetectable, so it was very often used either
as a murder weapon or as a mystery story element. But that’s until the
Marsh test came and signalled the presence of this poison in water,
food and the like. However, this king of poisons has taken many famous
lives: Napoleon Bonaparte, George the 3rd of England and Simon
Bolivar to name a few. On another note, arsenic, like belladonna, was
used by the Victorians for cosmetic reasons. A couple of drops of the
stuff made a woman’s complexion white and pale.
Most common poisons used :
#1 Arsenic
4. The Botulinum toxin causes Botulism, a fatal condition if not treated
immediately. It involves muscle paralysis, eventually leading to the paralysis
of the respiratory system and, consequently, death. The bacteria enter the
body through open wounds or by ingesting contaminated food. By the way,
botulinum toxin is the same stuff used for Botox injections!
#2 Botulinum Toxin
5. it is found in a great variety of substances like almonds, apple
seeds, apricot kernel, tobacco smoke, insecticides, pesticides and
the list goes on. Murder in this case can be blamed on a household
accident, such as ingestion of pesticide – a fatal dose of cyanide for
humans is 1.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. Secondly, it’s a rapid
killer: depending on the dose, death occurs within 1 to 15 minutes.
Also, in its gaseous form – hydrogen cyanide – it was the agent
used by Nazi Germany for mass murders in gas chambers during
the Holocaust.
#3 Cyanide
6. There are three forms of mercury which are extremely
dangerous. Elemental mercury is the one you can find in
glass thermometers, it’s not harmful if touched, but lethal if
inhaled. Inorganic mercury is used to make batteries, and is
deadly only when ingested. And finally, organic mercury is
found in fish, such as tuna and swordfish (consumption
should be limited to 170g per week), but can be potentially
deadly over long periods of time. A famous death caused
by mercury is that of Amadeus Mozart, who was given
mercury pills to treat his syphilis.
#4 Mercury
7. Polonium is a radioactive poison, a slow killer with no
cure. One gram of vaporised polonium can kill about 1.5
million people in just a couple of months. The most
famous case of polonium poisoning is that of ex-Russian
spy Alexander Litvinenko. Polonium was found in his tea
cup – a dose 200 times higher than the median lethal
dose in case of ingestion. He died in three weeks.
#5 Polonium
8. This substance is found in two marine creatures – the blue-
ringed octopus and the puffer fish. However, the octopus is the
most dangerous, because it purposely injects its venom, killing it
in minutes. It carries enough venom to kill 26 human adults
within minutes and the bites are often painless, so many victims
realize they have been bitten only when paralysis sets in. On the
other hand, the puffer fish is only lethal if you want to eat it, but
if it is well prepared, meaning the venom is taken out, the only
thing that’s left is the adrenaline of eating something which
could kill you.
#6 Tetrodotoxin
9. This one is a slow killer – a man-made slow killer! But this is
exactly what makes it all the more dangerous. Absorption of
doses as low as 0.1ml have proven fatal; however,
symptoms of poisoning start showing after months of initial
exposure, which is definitely too late for any kind of
treatment. In 1996, a chemistry professor at Dartmouth
College, New Hampshire, spilled a drop or two of the poison
on her gloved hand – dimethylmercury went through the
latex glove, symptoms appeared four months later and ten
months later, she died.
#7 Dimethyl Mercury
10. This was a favorite of the ladies! The name of this plant is
derived from Italian and means beautiful woman. That’s
because it was used in the middle-ages for cosmetic
purposes – diluted eye-drops dilated the pupils, making
the women more seductive (or so they thought). Also, if
gently rubbed on their checks, it would create a reddish
color, what today would be known as blush! This plant
seems innocent enough, right? Well, actually, if ingested, a
single leaf is lethal and that’s why it was used to make
poison-tipped arrows. The berries of this plant are the
most dangerous – consumption of ten of the attractive-
looking berries is fatal.
#8 Belladonna
11. Aconite comes from the plant monkshood. Also known as
wolfsbane, aconite leaves only one post-mortem sign, that of
asphyxia, as it causes arrhythmic heart function which leads to
suffocation. Poisoning can occur even after touching the leaves
of the plant without wearing gloves as it is very rapidly and
easily absorbed. Because of its untraceable nature it has been a
popular one with the “get away with murder” crowd.
Reportedly, it has a particularly famous casualty. The emperor
Claudius is said to have been poisoned by his wife, Agrippina,
using aconite in a plate of mushrooms.
#9 Aconite
12. Hemlock or Conium is a highly toxic flowering plant
indigenous to Europe and South Africa. It was a popular
one with the ancient Greeks, who used it to kill off their
prisoners. For an adult, the ingestion of 100mg of
conium or about 8 leaves of the plant is fatal – death
comes in the form of paralysis, your mind is wide awake,
but your body doesn’t respond and eventually the
respiratory system shuts down. Probably the most
famous hemlock poisoning is that of Greek philosopher,
Socrates. Condemned to death for impiety in 399 BC, he
was given a very concentrated infusion of hemlock.
#10 Hemlock
13. “But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
- Albert Camus
