Immunity-enhancing cocktail protects mice against multiple hospital germs
Some people in hospital die not from the illness or accident that got them admitted but from germs they catch once there. In the United States alone, there are hundreds of thousands of hospital-acquired infections each year, leading to tens of thousands of deaths. Seeking to lower this toll, researchers have now come up with an immune-boosting cocktail that increases the survival of mice exposed to the microbes responsible. The three-compound formulation, which the researchers unusually refer to as a vaccine, provided up to 28 days of protection from the notorious hospital bacterium Pseudomonas aerugin...

Antibiotics Destroy Memories?
Even in my earliest days of practicing medicine, I was never a big fan of prescribing antibiotics – except, of course, in cases of extreme or life-threatening infections. Because even back then, I was concerned about the damage these drugs could cause to your gut. That’s because trillions of microscopic bacteria – some that protect against certain diseases and some that can cause disease – live in your microbiome and exist in a delicate balance with each other. The problem is that antibiotics can’t distinguish between so-called “good” bacteria and the “bad” ones causing the infection. These drugs kill eve...

What Can Boric Acid Be Used For?
Discussion Boron is possibly an essential trace element for humans and is found in water and plants. Common sources are apples, beans (cooked and dried), coffee, fruits, milk, and potatoes. Borates are used as cleaning agents, fertilizers, greasing agents, food preservatives, in fiberglass production, as an insecticide, and even to help prevent wet and dry rot in wood. They can be used to acidify or thicken fluids. Toxic borate exposure can occur through inhalation, or oral and dermal routes with non-intact skin being a bigger problem. Borate toxicity can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, emesis, fever, irritability, seizure...
