treatment of clostridium botulinum :: Article Creator How Humans Got Their Big Brains "Don't cry over spilled milk. By this time tomorrow, it'll be free yogurt." —Stephen Colbert Some 2.5 million years ago, our hominid ancestors started to grow bigger brains. Over the next several millennia, our brains tripled in size. It led to a new creature, Homo Sapiens, that eventually ruled the planet. Brains demand copious amounts of energy, and growing a big one means the possessor must absorb extra calories. One way to get them is to develop a giant gut, like a horse, that can take its time to eke out every calorie from the meager pickings on the savannah. Yet our guts are shorter than those of our simian cousins. A popular theory says that the advent of cooking helped to break down food and improved our ability to salvage extra calories. But man-made fire and cooking came about a million years too late to explain the phenome...

tuberculosis screening test :: Article Creator Tuberculosis Testing Involves More Than 600 Contacts, Says SNHD No known additional active tuberculosis cases have developed — so far — from a person with active TB who was at 26 Clark County School District campuses and a training center in recent weeks, according to health officials. More than 600 contacts have been identified as part of the investigation, according to the Southern Nevada Health District. "This is currently a contact investigation, not an outbreak investigation," said health district spokeswoman Jennifer Sizemore. "We are notifying people they need to get tested because they may be infected with latent TB not necessarily sick with active TB disease." Testing has begun for students and staff at more than a dozen schools who had close contact with the infected person, according to the health district. Principals at 26 CCSD schools sent letters to parent...

We will also examine how to prevent TB transmission and who is most at risk of contracting the disease. How TB symptoms present will depend on each individual, their overall health, and where in their body the infection occurs.

causes of tuberculosis disease :: Article Creator Tuberculosis Vaccine Screening Links T-cell Response To ALS Risk People with negative responses to a tuberculin skin test a few years after being vaccinated against tuberculosis had a significant, 25% lower risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in their lifetime, according to a study in Norway. Because a positive reaction is linked to the recruitment of T cells — a type of immune cell involved in memory immunity and responses to vaccines — these findings may support the role of T-cell responses in the development of ALS, its researchers said. The study, "Tuberculin responses after BCG vaccination predict amyotrophic lateral sclerosis risk," was published in the journal Brain, Behavior, & Immunity – Health. Immune system response to motor neuron damage known in ALS In people with ALS, inflammatory cells such as T-cells and microglia are known to locate in brai...
