Lower respiratory infection

The fluoroquinolones are used in the treatment of infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. The fluoroquinolones are effective in the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. They are primarily used in the treatment of susceptible microorganisms in lower respiratory infections, infections of the skin, urinary tract infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ofloxacin are available in ophthalmic forms for infections in the eyes.

An increased incidence in mycoplasma infections in rats exposed to 260 ppm hexachloroethane for 6 weeks suggests that hexachloroethane might weaken resistance to infection (Weeks et al. 1979). This could be the result of either a change in the quantity or consistency of the respiratory tract mucus or a systemic weakening of the immune system. The data are inadequate to formulate any hypothesis regarding the mechanism for diminished host resistance or to postulate whether hexachloroethane in the environment might lower the resistance of humans to respiratory infections. 

Interest in the effects of ozone on alveolar macrophages has been spurred by the observation that relatively low concentrations of ozone potentiate respiratory infections in animals and perhaps man. Coffin et al ob-ser a decrease in the number of bacteria phagocytized by alveolar macrophages obtained from rabbits exposed to various concentrations of ozone as low as 0.3 ppm. Some suggestion of a lack of threshold is present, but it is not clear whether the difference from the controls at lower ozone concentrations is statistically significant.

Severe staphylococcal Infections - Severe staphylococcal infections (including methicillin-resistant staphylococci) in patients who cannot receive or who have failed to respond to penicillins and cephalosporins, or who have infections with resistant staphylococci. Infections may include endocarditis, bone infections, lower respiratory tract infections, septicemia, and skin and skin structure infections.

Thus, human exposure to PCBs in Japan (Yusho accident) and China has been associated with increased respiratory infections and decreased levels of immunoglobulins in serum. In animals exposed to these compounds, there is atrophy of both primary and secondary lymphoid organs, lower circulating immunoglobulins, and decreased antibody responses after exposure to antigens. Similarly, the exposure of both humans and farm animals to polybrominated biphenyls, which occurred in Michigan in 1973, resulted in depressed immune responses. 

Let s first look at the benefits breast milk offers your baby. Then we ll examine the contamination issue. Breast milk is not just food. It is also medicine. It swarms with antibodies and white blood cells drawn from your own body. By drinking it, your infant comes to share your immune system. And benefits mightily from it. Breastfed infants have lower rates of hospitalization and death. They develop fewer respiratory infections,...

So what are nitrogen oxides Where does they come from And why is there a concern about the amount that enters the atmosphere Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a brownish, highly reactive gas that is present in all urban atmospheres. N02 can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and pneumonia, and lower resistance to respiratory infections. Nitrogen oxides are an important precursor both to ozone (Oj) and acid rain, and may affect both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The major mechanism for the formation of NO2 in the atmosphere is the oxidation of the primary air pollutant, nitric oxide (NO). NOx plays a major role, together with VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), in the atmospheric... 

For the spike (Lavandula latifolia) lavender the analysis shows a much lower acetate content and a high natural camphor and 1,8-cineole level. This makes it useful for respiratory infections, as an insecticide and for muscular pain. However, it must be used cautiously as it is a more vigorous oil.
