Food Allergy: An Overview
FOOD ALLERGY: AN OVERVIEW MEENAKSHI BHARKATIYA*, KAMAL SINGH RATHORE, ANKUR MAHESHWARI, SUNITA PANCHAWAT, R.K.NEMA B.N.GIRLS’ COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, UDAIPUR-RAJ. 31002 INTRODUCTION Food allergy is recognized as a common worldwide problem, and, like other atopic disorders, its incidence seems to increase. In the past years, investigations of allergic food proteins and related immunological responses have moved to the molecular level, and the newly-found knowledge might provide novel experimental strategies for the laboratory diagnosis and the immuno-modulatory control of food-induced allergic reactions (1, 2). Approximately 20% of the population alters their diet for a perceived adverse reaction to food, but the application of double-blind placebo-controlled oral food challenge, the “gold standard” for diagnosis of food allergy, shows that questionnaire-based studies overestimate the prevalence of food allergies. The clinical disorders determined by adverse reactions to food can be … Read entire article »

E.coli O157:h7
Introduction According to the Latin proverb, we are born between the urine and faeces.Thus from birth, we acquire the faecal flora of our mothers. Over a century ago,Escherich described the bacteria that he isolated from the faeces of human neonates as Bacterium colicommune (Bettelheim,1986; Escherich,1988).He demonstrated that the organisms now known as Escherichia coli were present in the faeces and intestinal contents of humans and were considered as commensal organisms. Most E.coli strains are harmless commensals, however, some strains are pathogenic and cause diarrhoeal disease. E.coli strains that cause diarrhoeal illness are categorized into specific groups based on virulence properties, mechanisms of pathogenicity, clinical syndromes and distinct O: H serogroups. These categories include enteropathogenic E.coli strains (ETEC), enteroinvasive E.coli strains (EIEC), diffuse adhering E.coli strains (DAEC), enteroaggregative E.coli strains (EAggEC) and enterohaemorrhagic E.coli … Read entire article »

Need Of Moral Education And Ethics
Every social structure has a code of practices that constitutes its behavioral norms, that is, a set of rules governing what are acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. These rules are the moral philosophy of that social structure. When folks uncover themselves in a situation in which there is a conflict or dilemma, the choice-making processes that they use to make the behavioral options that follow are called ethical decision-making skills. Ethics, then, is the process whereby an individual, faced with a moral dilemma, arrives at a morally defensible decision. Chemistry, like any discipline, has a social structure. It relies on the interactions, behaviors, and expectations of people in order to function. 1 could ask ‘what do these suggestions have to do with science? The answer is that science as an undertaking is … Read entire article »
