I just keep checking the banner/transcript site on myusu. So far, it hasn't been posted there. It is the hurry up and wait game, but Kevin has 120 students to grade - it might take a moment. Hope this helps!

Kevin has talked quite a bit about probiotics in class, so I've looked in to it a little bit. It sounds like the verdict is still out in the scientific community about the overall benefits of probiotics, and research is ongoing. There is however mounting evidence that it can be beneficial in counteracting the growth of certain pathogenic bacteria, especially in the digestive system. Here is a link to the Mayo clinic website that gives some more good unbiased information. www.mayoclinic.com/health/probiotics/AN00389

Peptic Ulcer Disease - Cause
The two most common causes of peptic ulcer disease are infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Although many people are infected with H. pylori bacteria, only a few of them will develop peptic ulcer disease. Certain factors make a person with an H. pylori infection more likely to get an ulcer. Some of these factors, not all of which are well understood, include: The use of certain medicines, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or other NSAIDs. Smoking. Excessive alcohol use. Prior history of ulcers. Physical stress caused by a severe illness or injury (such as a major trauma, the need to be on a ventilator to assist breathing, or surgery). Most peptic ulcers that are not caused by an H. pylori infection are caused by the use of NSAIDs. NSAIDs may be prescribed to control pain or inflammation caused by long-term (chronic) diseases such as arthritis or headaches. When used for weeks or months, NSAIDs can damage the lining of the digestive tract, causing an ulcer or making an existing ulcer worse. A rare cause of peptic ulcers is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In this condition, the stomach greatly overproduces acid, damaging the stomach lining. Although there is no evidence to prove that emotional or mental stress causes ulcers, it does seem to make ulcers worse in some people. But the connection is still controversial. And there are no specific recommendations for using counseling or psychotherapy to treat peptic ulcers.

I was studying today and I thought that might be good for me to stop reading serious things about bacterias so I looked in internet some jokes about bacterias and I found this two funny ones.
"What did the male bacteria say to the female bacteria? Who needs biology when we have chemistry." "Why did the bacteria fail the math test? He thought multiplication was the same as division."

| cj0625 | Removal of Tricuspid valve /Endocarditis | 4 | Apr 27 2009, 11:43 PM EDT by isjones | ||||

At work one of the thoracic surgeons talked about someone with Endocarditis. This patient was taken to surgery and the tricuspid valve was removed---without replacement! Apparently you can live for a time without one. The surgery is done for patients with valve infections so that they can heal from the infection before replacing the valve. I thought this was interesting and found an article about it. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1960998?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=1&log$=relatedarticles&logdbfrom=pubmed

I heard that we are combining exam five and final exam on the 27th so we would just have 50 for exam 5 and then 50 for the exam and not test at all on this coming Monday. Does anyone know if that is for sure or what is happening there?

I have posted a few times about malaria, along with a few other classmates. I've been following articles on it because it's something that I find very interesing. I found this new article on KSL today that talks about "a novel immune cell may offer an important new clue to why malaria kills some people and not others" I thought it was pretty interesting...anyway, if you want to check it out, here's the link: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=201&sid=6254439

Does anyone know if we just get the 50 points for setting up/planning a lab (or whatever you want to call it) with our lab groups? We didn't really have to do a lot so I was just wondering if we had to do something like write what we did for the lab to get the points. Hope this makes sense.
