Drug-information
To reduce the development of
drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics and other
antibacterial drugs, antibiotics should be used only to treat or prevent
infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible
bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility
information are available, they should b...

Vitamin D is
known for its role in calcium homeostasis for optimal skeletal health. It was
previously believed that only elderly or hospitalized patients were at risk for
vitamin D insufficiency, but many people in the general population have
insufficient levels of Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D or in short, 25[OH]D).We review the
role of vita...

Cefuroxime is the 2nd
generation cephalosporin group of broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic. Clavulanic acid is
naturally occurring potent inhibitor of β-lactamase. It is a “suicidal
inhibitor” of β-lactamases produced by a wide range of Gram positive and Gram
negative micro-organisms.β-lactamase mediated resistance is the most common mechanism...
This is a summary of the American
Academy of Neurology (AAN) and American Epilepsy Society (AES).For an adult with a first
seizure, the risk of a recurrence poses major concerns and raises the question
of whether immediate Anti-epileptic Drug (AED) treatment is advisable.Risk of Seizure RecurrenceQ1: For the adult who presents with an unprovoked...
Probiotics contain
microorganisms, most of which are bacteria similar to the beneficial bacteria
that occur naturally in the human gut. Probiotics have an important role in the
maintenance of immunologic equilibrium in the gastrointestinal tract through
the direct interaction with immune cells.
Probiotics are safe for infants,
children,...

Probiotics are living non-pathogenic microorganisms, which
when given in sufficient amounts should be
beneficial to host by improving its microbial balance in gut and participate in
the metabolism.Probiotics uses are common and recommended in different text books.Find out below beneficial effects of probiotics and what are covered in Medical Te...
