Penicillins
Penicillins are a subclass of antibiotics called beta-lactam antibiotics (antibiotics that have a chemical structure called a beta-lactam ring). Carbapenems, cephalosporins, and monobactams are also beta-lactam antibiotics.
Penicillins are used to treat infections caused by gram-positive bacteria (such as streptococcal infections) and some gram-negative bacteria (such as meningococcal infections).
Penicillins include the following:Amoxicillin
Ampicillin
Carbenicillin
Dicloxacillin
Nafcillin
Oxacillin
Penicillin G
Penicillin V
Piperacillin
TicarcillinMost bacteria have an outer covering (cell wall) that protects them. Like the other beta-lactam antibiotics, penicillins work by preventing bacteria from forming this cell wall, resulting in death of the bacteria.
Some bacteria produce enzymes that can inactivate beta-lactam antibiotics. For infections caused by these bacteria, penicillins are given with a drug that can inhibit these enzymes, such as clavulanate or sulbactam. Common combinations include the following:Ampicillin plus sulbactam
Amoxicillin plus clavulanate
Piperacillin plus tazobactam
Ticarcillin plus clavulanateSome penicillins can be given by mouth (for example, amoxicillin and penicillin V) or by injection (for example, piperacillin). Others (such as ampicillin ) can be given either way.
Food does not interfere with the absorption of amoxicillin , but penicillin G should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Amoxicillin tends to be used more often than ampicillin (when taken by mouth) because amoxicillin is absorbed into the bloodstream better, has fewer gastrointestinal side effects, and can be given less frequently.

Rat-bite fever
Rat-bite fever is an infection caused by either Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum minus bacteria.
People usually get the infection when they are bitten by an infected rat.
Streptobacillary rat-bite fever causes joint pain.
Spirillary rat-bite fever causes swollen lymph nodes.
Both types cause a fever that comes and goes and a rash.
Doctors diagnose rat-bite fever based on the symptoms and may send a sample of blood or infected tissue to a laboratory to be cultured (streptobacillary rat-bite fever), or they may examine the sample under a microscope (spirillary rat-bite fever).
Rat-bite fever is effectively treated with antibiotics.(See also Overview of Bacteria.)
There are two types of rat-bite fever:Streptobacillary rat-bite fever
Spirillary rat-bite feverStreptobacillary rat-bite fever is caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis, which lives in the mouth and throat of healthy rats, mice, and gerbils. It is a rod-shaped bacteria called a bacillus (see figure How Bacteria Shape Up). People usually get the infection when they are bitten or scratched by a wild or pet rat or mouse. Other rodents and weasels can also spread the infection. Sometimes people become infected when they drink unpasteurized milk that contains the bacteria. The infection that results from consuming the bacteria is called Haverhill fever. Streptobacillary rat-bite fever typically occurs in the United States.
Spirillary rat-bite fever (sodoku) is caused by Spirillum minus. It is a bacteria that has a spiral shape similar to spirochetes (see figure How Bacteria Shape Up). People usually get the infection when they are bitten by a rat or occasionally a mouse. Consuming Spirillum bacteria does not cause the infection. Spirillary rat-bite fever occurs primarily in Asia. -
Echinococcosis (dog tapeworm infection)
Echinococcosis is caused by the dog tapeworms Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis. In people, the tapeworms can cause fluid-filled cysts or masses to form in the liver or other organs.
People are usually infected when they accidentally consume soil, water, or food that has been contaminated by Echinococcus eggs passed in dog stool.
Cysts form in the liver, lungs, or another organ and cause various symptoms, including pain.
Doctors do imaging tests (such as ultrasonography or computed tomography) to check for cysts, blood tests to check for antibodies to the tapeworm, and analysis of fluid from the cyst to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment usually involves removing cysts or draining them, injecting a salt solution to kill the parasite and then removing it, and giving the drug albendazole .(See also Overview of Parasitic Infections and Tapeworm Infection.)
Adult tapeworm species called Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis live in the intestine of dogs or other canines (such as foxes or coyotes). These tapeworms sometimes infect people, causing cysts in the liver or other organs.
Echinococcus granulosus is common in the sheep-raising areas of the Mediterranean, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America. It also occurs rarely in some parts of North America.
Echinococcus multilocularis occurs mainly in Central Europe, Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. It also occurs rarely in Wyoming, the Dakotas, and the upper Midwest. -
RE: Ascariasis
Ascariasis is infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, an intestinal roundworm, or occasionally by Ascaris suum (which causes ascariasis in pigs).
People acquire the infection by swallowing the roundworm eggs, usually in food.
When first infected, people may have no symptoms or may develop fever, coughing, wheezing, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting.
Children with a heavy, chronic infection may not grow normally, or worms can block the intestine or bile duct, resulting in severe pain and vomiting.
Doctors usually diagnose the infection by identifying the eggs or worms in a stool sample.
People are treated with antiparasitic drugs such as albendazole .(See also Overview of Parasitic Infections.)
Ascariasis is the most common roundworm infection in people, occurring in about 807 million -
Onchocerciasis
Onchocerciasis is infection with the roundworm Onchocerca volvulus. It causes itching, a rash, sometimes with scarring, as well as eye symptoms that may lead to blindness.
The infection is spread through the bite of female blackflies, which breed in streams.
The infection may cause only intense itching but sometimes causes a rash, swollen lymph nodes, impaired vision, or complete blindness.
Usually, doctors diagnose the infection by identifying an immature form of the worm in a skin sample.
Administration of ivermectin once or twice a year to people living in areas where the infection is common can control infection.
If onchocerciasis causes symptoms, treatment is a single dose of ivermectin , which is repeated every 6 to 12 months until symptoms are gone.(See also Overview of Parasitic Infections and Filarial Worm Infections Overview.)
Worldwide, about 21 million people have onchocerciasis. About 14.6 million have skin disease, and 1.15 million have vision problems or blindness. Onchocerciasis is the second leading cause of infectious blindness worldwide.
Onchocerciasis is most common in tropical and southern (sub-Saharan) areas of Africa. It occasionally occurs in Yemen, and areas of South and Central America, including southern Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil (along the Amazon). People who live or work near rapidly flowing streams or rivers are the most likely to be infected. In addition to residents, longterm travelers in these regions, such as missionaries, volunteers, or field researchers, are at risk. -
Overview of fluke infections
Flukes are parasitic flatworms. There are many species of fluke. Different species tend to infect different parts of the body.
Flukes may infectBlood vessels of digestive or urinary system: Schistosoma species (schistosomiasis)
Intestines: Fasciolopsis buski, Heterophyes heterophyes, and related organisms (intestinal flukes)
Liver: Clonorchis sinensis, Fasciola hepatica, and Opisthorchis species (liver flukes)
Lungs: Paragonimus westermani and related species (lung flukes)The life cycle of flukes is complex. It typically involves snails that live in fresh water. Infected snails release immature flukes that swim in the water (cercariae). In some species of flukes, the cercariae directly infect people who come in contact with them in the water. In other species, the cercariae first infect fish or crustaceans (such as crayfish or crabs) and form cysts in their flesh. Some flukes form cysts on aquatic plants. If people eat raw or undercooked fish or crustaceans or aquatic plants that contain the cysts, they can become infected. Flukes mature into adults in people. Depending on the species, adult flukes may live from 1 to more than 20 years.
Adult flukes release eggs. Eggs that are released into the digestive tract can be passed in stool. Eggs that are released into the urinary tract can be passed in the urine. If untreated stool or urine enters fresh water, the eggs hatch and infect snails, continuing the fluke life cycle.
Symptoms vary depending on which organ the adult flukes infect.
Diagnosis of fluke infections usually involves examining a sample of stool, urine, or sputum with a microscope to look for characteristic eggs. Sometimes blood tests are done.
Prevention of fluke infections is very important. People living in or visiting areas where flukes are common should avoid contact with contaminated freshwater and dispose of urine and feces in a sanitary way.
For treatment, praziquantel , a drug that eliminates flukes from the body, is effective for most, but not all fluke infections in people.

Krama
1.Behind Krama Project are Greek duo [Dimitris] Violitzis and Elias Garanis. They start producing progressive trance music in 2001 after a lot of experiments in various styles, including experimental, i.d.m., classical etc. Dimitris Violitzis is music technologist,sound designer,and programmer and also running his solo downtempo experimental project Tau.T.C. and progressive house project [Randay]. Elias Garanis has various studies in music theory. Since the age of 9 hes on accordeon and piano playing and from the age of 16 he has start to compose his own concerts. Both known each other at high school where they met the electronic music world and start experiment. [Kramas] main vision is to create another style of music accessible to every ear, independently of his music background. The word Krama is Greek and means the mix of two metals which we translate as two different opinions that can be mixed to give one unique result that you can hear in the most known labels of Trance scene such Zillion Mental Anarchy, [Yellow Sunshine] [Explotion], Spitwist Records, Vertikal Records, [Savva] Records and Midijum Records. Their debut album [Terra Nova] released in summer 08 from Vertikal Records.
The second album After the Rain is out now from Spin Twist Records!

Cerebral contusions and lacerations
Cerebral contusions are bruises of the brain, usually caused by a direct, strong blow to the head. Cerebral lacerations are tears in brain tissue, caused by a foreign object or pushed-in bone fragment from a skull fracture.
Motor vehicle crashes and blows to the head are common causes of bruises and tears of brain tissue.
Symptoms of mild or severe head injury develop.
Computed tomography is done.
The person is observed in the hospital and sometimes needs surgery.Cerebral contusions and lacerations involve structural brain damage and thus are more serious than concussions, which are an alteration in mental function or level of awareness caused by an injury that does not cause visible damage to brain structures.
Contusions may be caused by the sudden fast movement (acceleration) of the brain against the skull after a jolt—as may be delivered by a forceful blow to the head—or by the sudden stopping (deceleration) that occurs when a moving head strikes an immovable object (as when a person -
Heat cramps
Heat cramps are severe muscle spasms resulting from a combination of prolonged exercise, heavy sweating, and excessive water replacement in extreme heat.
(See also Overview of Heat Disorders.)
Heat cramps is a mild type of heat disorder that tends to occur in healthy people who are active in the heat.
During sweating, salts (electrolytes) and fluids are lost, but drinking large quantities of water dilutes the salts, causing cramps. Heavy sweating is most likely to occur on warm days, especially during or after strenuous exertion. Heat cramps are common among all of the following:Manual laborers, such as engine-room personnel, steelworkers, roofers, and miners
Athletes, especially mountain climbers or skiers, whose many layers of clothing may keep them from noticing their heavy sweating, and tennis players and runners who do not take time to replace salts lost in sweat
Military traineesHeat cramps are strong contractions in muscles of the hands, calves, feet, thighs, or arms. The contractions cause muscles to become hard, tense, and painful. The pain can be mild to intense. Fever does not typically occur.
Mild heat cramps can be treated by having the person rest in a cool environment and drink beverages that contain salt or eat salty food. Drinking 1 to 2 quarts (about 1 to 2 liters) of a sports drink or water containing 2 teaspoons of salt is usually enough. Severe heat cramps are treated with fluids and salts given by vein (intravenously). Stretching the involved muscle often gives immediate relief of pain. -
Malignant hyperthermia
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, life-threatening rise in body temperature that occurs in susceptible people who are given certain muscle-relaxing drugs plus an anesthetic gas for surgery.
Malignant hyperthermia can occur when the anesthesia is given or during or soon after surgery.
Muscle cells become overactive, causing sustained muscle contractions that produce heat and raise body temperature extremely high.
Symptoms include muscle rigidity, rapid heart rate, and rapid breathing
Doctors diagnose malignant hyperthermia based on symptoms in people who have just had surgery.
Treatment is rapid cooling.(See also Overview of Heat Disorders.)
Malignant hyperthermia usually develops after a person receives a muscle relaxant (most often succinylcholine ) along with an anesthetic gas (most often halothane) for surgery. Although malignant hyperthermia may develop after the first use of these drugs, people usually develop the condition only after about three exposures. Susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia is an inherited genetic trait that runs in families.
Malignant hyperthermia may cause imbalances in body salts (electrolytes) and blood clotting. Excessive blood clotting (disseminated intravascular coagulation) causes organ damage, followed by excessive bleeding when the body runs out of clotting factors.
Malignant hyperthermia can also cause significant muscle damage. Damaged muscles release the protein myoglobin, which turns the urine brown or bloody. This condition (myoglobinuria) can lead to acute kidney injury or even kidney failure. Death may occur. -
Injuries of the spinal cord and vertebrae
- Most spinal cord injuries result from motor vehicle crashes, falls, assaults, and sports injuries.
- Symptoms, such as loss of sensation, loss of muscle strength, and loss of bowel, bladder, and sexual function, may be temporary or permanent.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (to assess injury to soft tissue, spinal cord, or ligaments) and/or computed tomography (to assess injury to bone) is the best way to identify the injury.
- Treatment involves immobilization of the spine, drugs to relieve symptoms, sometimes surgery, and usually rehabilitation.
The spine consists of 24 back bones (vertebrae) plus the tailbone (sacrum). The vertebrae bear most of the body
