Hidden Dangers in Water-Damaged Homes: Mold and Actinomycetes

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Actinomycetes are a group of Gram-positive bacteria that occupy an intermediate position between bacteria and fungi. They form branched, filamentous structures resembling mold mycelium and are capable of producing spores. While many species of actinomycetes naturally occur in the environment and participate in the decomposition of organic matter, certain strains can become pathogenic and pose a threat to human health when they begin to proliferate indoors. What A...

Microbiome: The Invisible Ecosystem Within and Around Us

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] The microbiome is a collection of microorganisms that inhabit not only the intestines but also the skin, respiratory tract, mucous membranes, urogenital system, and even the surrounding environment. The human body contains more microbial cells than its own: for every human cell, there are approximately 1.3 microbial cells. The total mass of the microbiome is estimated to be 1.5–2 kg, and its genes outnumber human genes by 150 times. The external microbiome is a...

Food Colouring: A Hidden Threat or an Overblown Panic?

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Food colouring refers to additives used to impart, enhance, or restore the colour of food and beverages. They can be either synthetic (artificial) or natural, derived from plants, minerals, or animals. Manufacturers use food colouring to make products more visually appealing, as bright colours are associated with freshness and quality. They also help compensate for the loss of natural colour that occurs during processing, freezing, and storage. Additionally, spec...

Onboard Safety: How To Prevent Infections Diseases During the Flight?

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Travelling is a wonderful opportunity to gain new experiences in life, but it can also bring health risks. Being in confined spaces, such as airplanes, or in crowded places like airports, travellers are more likely to encounter infections transmitted from person to person. The events of recent years, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, have demonstrated how quickly diseases can spread globally. However, viruses are only part of the problem. During trips, travele...

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] For effective treatment of dysbiosis, it is crucial to start with an accurate diagnosis. In the first article, we explored the fundamental concepts of dysbiosis, its impact on health, and its underlying causes. Many conditions have similar symptoms but require different treatment approaches. As we mentioned earlier, issues related to dysbiosis can be identified using various diagnostic methods. The primary ones include stool analysis and breath tests. Stool analys...

Your Gut Microbiota Holds The Key To Better Health, Part 1

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract. The number of microbes in the human body is about 39 trillion, slightly exceeding the number of our own cells. However, their genetic material is significantly richer and has a profound impact on bodily functions. The microbiota performs many key functions such as aiding in digestion, synthesizing vitamins...

SIBO: What Lies Behind the Condition Mistaken for a Disease, Part 1

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a condition in which bacteria that normally exist in small amounts in the small intestine or are present in the large intestine begin to proliferate in the small intestine. SIBO disrupts the normal digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. Symptoms of SIBO include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. However, it is not just discomfort—SIBO can significantly impact quality of life, causing chro...

Mycoplasma Infections: More Than Just a Persistent Cough

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Mycoplasmas are unique bacteria characterized by the absence of a cell wall. Instead, they have a cytoplasmic membrane, which makes them distinct from microorganisms. This feature complicates their detection by the immune system and renders antibiotics targeting the cell wall ineffective. However, drugs such as tetracyclines and macrolides, which act on other mechanisms like protein synthesis, remain effective against these microorganisms. Mycoplasmas can cause...

EBV and Autoimmune Reactions: The Truth About Epstein–Barr Virus

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
Russian Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a type 4 herpesvirus and one of eight known viruses in the Herpesviridae family. It is primarily transmitted through saliva and other bodily fluids, earning it the nickname "kissing virus." EBV can affect various organs and systems in the body. For instance, it may influence the central nervous system (linked to multiple sclerosis) and the thyroid gland (as seen in Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Additionally, EBV is associated with certain types of can...
