Tuberculosis T.B

 It is an infectious disease caused by one or more strain of mycobacteria, mainly mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis infects the lungs causing many respiratory symptoms and then it causes other systemic symptoms all over the body that we will discuss later in the symptoms sections. Most of the infections are asymptomatic while only one tenth of which is transformed to active infection which is mostly lethal if not treated properly.

Signs and Symptoms

Symptoms are classified into respiratory symptoms, where the patient suffers from severe cough, high rate of sputum production, appearance of blood in sputum and chest pain. If it invades the pulmonary artery then excessive bleeding may occur. Other symptoms are systemic extra pulmonary symptoms including fever, excessive sweating at night and weight loss. All these signs and symptoms mentioned is indicative and characteristic for tuberculosis.

Causes

It is a disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis which is an aerobic immobile bacillus. It is transmitted when person become in contact with saliva, sputum of an infected person, or even upon breathing air near the patient who is all the time coughing and sneezing.

Risk factors

Factors that make someone more susceptible to the infection of tuberculosis include HIV which decreases the overall immunity of the person leading to be infected easily. Other highly common risk factors include bad health care, overcrowding and malnutrition so that this disease is called the disease of poverty as it is usually highly spread in poor countries where there is no good health care providers and there are many bad habits concerning hygiene  and health care.  Smoking is a common risk factor.  Also people with diseases like diabetes mellitus and chronic pulmonary infections are more susceptible to tuberculosis.

Diagnosis

Depending only on the characteristic signs and symptoms is not enough. Chest x-ray showing numerous dark lesions and doing sputum cultures are the first steps for evaluation of the disease. Sputum and blood cultures are always so difficult to obtain result from due to the slow growth rate of the bacillus that may delay the culture to two to four weeks.

Prevention

This is mainly done by vaccination of infants and using enhancing doses of the vaccine in young ages. The most commonly used vaccine is bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine. It prevent the direct infection in children but the immunity induced by this vaccine is lost after about 10 years so an enhancing dose must be administered.

Treatment

This infectious disease can’t be easily treated due to the high resistant membrane the bacillus owns and so it is so difficult to penetrate this membrane with the antibiotics usually used. The most commonly used effective antibiotics used are rifampicin and isoniazid. Usually a combination of two antibiotics is used to prevent the development of resistant strains of the bacteria. The treatment course may last for several months through which administration of the antibiotic combination is administered and the prognosis is observed.

Finally I would like to say that tuberculosis nowadays is not a disease of high concern except in poor and low income countries, but even these have overcame the problem by proper vaccination and good health advice announcements on the media and the press.

Types of toxicological studies

 There are two types i.e.

      1-      Short term/acute toxicological studies

      2-      Long term toxicological studies

We also study sub-acute/ sub chronic studies, chronic studies.

      1-      Short term/acute toxicological studies:

Administer drug for short period of time, for one day or multiple dose

Observation:

Observe given animal for 30 days and not any toxicological effects of drug on animal. Two type of observation are carried out

      A-    Behavioural changes:

It include sleeping pattern, eating habits, dinking, head tail and other movements.

      B-    Biochemical changes:

Collect urine, blood, feces, or any other body secretion and note any change in its characteristics. If there is any color change in body secretion it means drug shows short term/acute toxicity.

      2-      Sub-acute/Sub chronic studies:

Sometime acute toxicity is note observe with drugs so we perform sub-acute/sub chronic studies. In this case administer the drug for two week OD or at suitable intervals and then observe the effects after 2 weeks. Side effects are observed during this period and after this period.

Estimation of drug dose:

After observation of

·         P.k and P.D of drug

·         Side effects of drug

Example:

If drug shows side effect at 10 mg then clinical trials studies are started with 1/10 mg of initial dose.

Chronic studies:

These studies are performed with those drugs which are administered of prolong period of time. I.e. for every drug molecule duration of use is different e.g.

·         Analgesics are taken for 1-2 days.

·         Antibiotics are prescribed for longer period of time e.g. 5, 7 or 10 days.

·         Chronic studies are performed for these types of drug. Administer dose regularly for 90-180 days then observe the effects.

      3-      Long term studies:

These types of toxicological studies are performed for those type of drug which are used for chronic ailments e.g. blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis.

Administer the drug for the period of 1 year after this observe the side effect and toxic effect produce in long term studies further following studies are performed e.g. carcinogenic studies, reproductive studies, genotoxic studies.

Carcinogenic studies:

These are long term studies in which drugs areadministered for 18-24 months and then after this time animal is killed and observe various organ for the tumor/malignancy.

Reproductive studies:

These are also type of long term studies. In this after the administration of drug, overall behavior of parents is observed.

Observe mating effects of parents and observe, what is effect of new drug molecule on the offspring embryo and fetus?

Genotoxic studies:

Salmonella typhaemurium specie of bacteria is used to study genotoxicity. A new drug molecule is administered to bacteria and then genetic changes are observed in bacteria.

We see,

·         New drug molecule to cure mutation or not?

·         Drug molecule cause any change in genetic sequence/genetic make-up or not?

Note:

         Short term studies are done before INDA submission.

         Long term studies are carried out along with clinical trials. 

How are toxicology studies conducted

 The branch of pharmacology that deals with the toxic and side effects of new drug molecule is called toxicology. It is also called as preclinical drug safety evaluation. In this study we determine the toxicology of new drug molecule.

If toxicological studies of new drug molecule are not performed then investigational new drug application (INDA) cannot be submitted.

Objectives:

Following are objectives of toxicological studies

      A.    Acute/short term effects

      B.     Long term effects

      C.     Organ specificity

      D.    To determine the site at which toxicity is produce

      E.     Degree of toxicity            

      F.      Relationship between dose and toxic dose

      G.    Effect of drug on gender

      H.    Effect of new drug on reproductive system

      I.       Carcinogenic effect of drug

      J.       Genotoxic effect of drug

      A-    Acute and short term effect:

                                                            To determine acute/short term effects of new drug molecule e.g. when new molecule enter in the body of human/ animal then what are various acute effect produce by a new drug molecule. E.g. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea etc.

      B-    Long term effect:

To, determine long term effect of a new drug molecule.I.e. when drug is administered to body to which organ is produce damage?E.g. cardio-toxic drug nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic.

Examples:

·         Aminoglycosides cause damage to ear and kidney.

·         Paracetamol cause damage to liver.

·         Some drugs also cause retinopathy.

      C-    Organ specificity:

To, determine the organ specificity of new drug molecule. I.e. in which organ drug is maximally absorbed o maximum concentration of drug is achieve in what organ? Because the organ having maximum concentration of drug also toxicological profile of that organ is maximum I.e. drug produce more side effect of this organ. After drug absorption what is Vd of particular organ because increase in Vd of organ increase the toxicity of drug of that organ.

       D-    To determine site at which toxicity is produce:

Where particular toxicity take place?

Toxicity produces by which mechanism?

Example:

·         If there is GIT drug then it produces side effects on GIT.

·         How this drug cause side effect? On which muscle enzyme is act it may be by inhibiting

·         GIT enzyme by muscle contraction.

Also we determine the exact site on which drug act because GIT is a very long portion. We determine that drug act on small intestine or large intestine or colon to produce side effect.

      E-    Degree of toxicity:

Also we determine the degree of toxicity of new drug molecule, whether it is

·         Acute

·         Chronic

·         Mild

·         Moderate

·         Sever

·         Life threatening

       F-     Relationship between dose and toxic dose:

Also we determine the relation between dose and toxic dose of new drug molecule.

Example: Some drug which have very broad therapeutic index side effect does not appear at high doses. Those drugs which have narrow therapeutic index cause side effect even at low doses.

      G-    Effect of drug on gender:

We also determine the effect of new drug molecule on gender whether it shows toxic effects are more in male female, neonates or geriatrics.

Example:

Cimetidine cause gynecomestia in male but has less effect in females. May be some drugs show effect in one gender but not in other. 

      H-    Effect of new drug on reproductive system:

We also determine the toxic effect of new drug molecule on the reproductive system

      I-       Carcinogenic effect of drug:

To know whether new drug molecule is carcinogenic or not or induce mutation or disturb the gene sequence?

      J-      Genotoxic effect of drug

 What is the effect of new drug molecule on gene sequence or can cause mutation or not?

Functions of Mouth and Teeth

 Whеn wе ѕtаrt еаting, food еntеrѕ оur mоuth аnd the рrосеѕѕ оf digеѕtiоn starts in оur mоuth. Wе ѕtаrt сhеwing thе food. Fооd is crushed and grоund during thе mаѕtiсаtiоn оr chewing process. Sаlivаrу glаndѕ start ѕесrеting and lubriсаtеѕ thе food thаt wе сhеw. Thе food is рuѕhеd аrоund bу thе tоnguе аnd within a minutе or ѕо, fооd bесоmеѕ сruѕhеd, grоund, ѕоft аnd mоiѕt mass, whiсh iѕ саllеd bоluѕ. Eасh bоluѕ is swallowed through thе thrоаt, whiсh is аlѕо tесhniсаllу rеfеrrеd as thе рhаrуnx. Swallowed bоluѕ iѕ passed on into thе esophagus.

We have four diffеrеnt types оf tееth, each hаving a different rоlе. Pointed саninеѕ аrе dеѕignеd fоr tearing. At the frоnt аrе chisel shaped inсiѕоrѕ with sharp edges for cutting purposes. The premolars and mоlаrѕ are for сruѕhing and grinding. Prеmоlаrѕ have twо ridgеѕ on the tор but mоlаrѕ аrе flаttеr compared tо thе рrеmоlаrѕ. Mоlаrѕ are thе lаrgеѕt аnd ѕtrоngеѕt оf аll tееth.

Thе роrtiоn оf teeth аbоvе the gum iѕ саllеd thе сrоwn and thе раrt whiсh is еmbеddеd in the gum оr the jаwbоnеѕ is called the rооt of thе tееth. Thе аrеа between thе two, nеаr thе gum surface iѕ саllеd thе nесk. Thе tесhniсаl nаmе fоr gum iѕ gingivа. Outer lауеr оf thе crown iѕ made of a tough bоnе-likе material called enamel. Enamel iѕ thе hardest substance in the body. If bоdу happens tо burn, what is lеft iѕ teeth. That iѕ the rеаѕоn sometimes idеntifiсаtiоn iѕ mаdе thrоugh dental rесоrdѕ. Bеnеаth thе enamel liеѕ ѕоftеr but still vеrу ѕtrоng tiѕѕuе called thе dеntin. It iѕ mаinlу ѕhосk-аbѕоrbing. Dеntin covers thе whоlе tееth, inсluding сrоwn, thе root аnd thе nесk. In the center оf tееth liеѕ thе ѕоft dental pulp, which has blооd vеѕѕеlѕ аnd nerves. Below gum, аnоthеr bone-like hard tiѕѕuе thе cementine, соvеrѕ thе dеntin. Pеriоdоntаl ligаmеnt tissues under thе gum secure tееth in thе jаwbоnе.

Tееth саn nоt crush food рrореrlу withоut support frоm thе tоnguе. Trу рulling thе tоnguе in and сhеw withоut thе tоnguе, уоu will ѕооn rеаlizе thе importance оf the tоnguе in chewing. It kеерѕ pushing food оut towards thе teeth. Thrее pairs оf ѕаlivаrу glаndѕ produce ѕаlivа in the mоuth. Parotid glаnd is in frоnt оf аnd juѕt below each еаr. Thе ѕubmаndibulаr glаndѕ are оn thе innеr ѕidе оf thе lоwеr jаwbоnеѕ and thе ѕublinguаl glands аrе оn thе floor оf thе mouth bеlоw thе tоnguе. Saliva iѕ mоѕtlу wаtеr (99.5%), but it hаѕ ѕоmе imроrtаnt еnzуmеѕ thаt start thе digеѕtiоn рrосеѕѕ in thе mоuth. Amylase bеginѕ thе breakdown оf ѕtаrсhеѕ аnd ѕаlivаrу liраѕе bеginѕ thе digеѕtiоn of fаtѕ. This iѕ оnе of thе reasons, сhеwing fооd thoroughly is essential аѕ it will jump-start thе digеѕtiоn рrосеѕѕ. Sаlivа аlѕо hаѕ diѕinfесtаnt and antibacterial сhеmiсаlѕ. Saliva nоt only hеlрѕ mоiѕtеn food, but it аlѕо kеерѕ the muсоuѕ membrane оf mouth mоiѕt bеtwееn реriоdѕ оf еаting.

Onсе thе fооd hаѕ been сhеwеd рrореrlу аnd hаѕ bееn moistened by saliva, it iѕ in the bоluѕ form аnd rеаdу tо be pushed bу thе rеѕt оf thе tongue to thе bасk of thе mouth. Thiѕ iѕ thе beginning оf thе vоluntаrу рrосеѕѕ оf swallowing. Swallowing soft аnd mоiѕt bolus is easy but tо swallow a ѕоlid itеm ѕuсh аѕ mеdiсinе pill оr tablet without сhеwing is hаrd аnd dеmаndѕ focus. Liԛuid iѕ not сhеwеd and iѕ gulреd down dirесtlу right аftеr it is рut into thе mоuth, whiсh iѕ whу it iѕ easier tо ѕwаllоw pills with water. Onсе bоluѕ iѕ рuѕhеd dоwn оn thе bасk оf thе mоuth, automatic rеflеxеѕ take оvеr the later ѕtаgеѕ оf swallowing, аѕ thе muѕсlеѕ оf thrоаt соntrасt аnd push thе bоluѕ furthеr bасk аnd dоwn, аnd squeeze bolus intо thе tор оf thе esophagus. A саrtilаgе flар knоwn аѕ the ерiglоttiѕ prevents fооd from gоing dоwn the 'wrоng way' intо thе lаrуnx аnd thе trachea аnd thus рrеvеntѕ роѕѕiblе сhоking.

Thе throat is a duаl рurроѕе раѕѕаgеwау. It lеtѕ brеаthing air pass thrоugh as wеll аѕ fооd, drink and ѕаlivа whilе еаting. Muscles оf thе thrоаt (pharynx), tоnguе, mouth, lаrуnx аnd uрреr еѕорhаguѕ run undеr nerve ѕignаlѕ from brаin tо рrеvеnt fооd frоm еntеring thе windpipe оr trасhеа. Thе саrtilаgе flар оf ерiglоttiѕ iѕ crucial in covering larynx mouth whеn fооd оr drink is going down аlоng thе thrоаt. Complex muѕсlе movement оf swallowing iѕ a voluntary reflex triggеrеd by the contact оf ѕоlid mаttеr to thе ѕеnѕоrѕ at the back оf thе mоuth. If fооd iѕ ассidеntаllу inhaled, thе irritаtiоn of thе windрiре triggеrѕ соughing reflex tо еxреl inhаlеd раrtiсlеѕ and рrеvеnt сhоking.Thе nеxt ѕtаgе of the digеѕtivе trасt iѕ esophagus, through which bоluѕ еntеrѕ thе ѕtоmасh. 

Fatigue Myths and Facts

 Whаt creates thе burning ѕеnѕаtiоn оn thе last couple оf repetitions whilе lifting weights; аnd whу dоеѕ оnе'ѕ bоdу get tired while cresting a ѕtеер hill?

Preparation of Alcohol

 Alcohol is one of the crucial substances in our life. From fuels to food it has been practically used in every aspect of our life. It has the potential for improving our life and if not used judicially it can ruin our life due to overconsumption. The importance of alcohol makes us more inquisitive about how it is prepared and which are the sources it is generated. Let us discuss these details here. Mainly alcohol can be prepared at the commercial level and domestic level. Overall we can categorize them into Industrial Alcohol , Alcohol made from microorganisms, and preparation through fermentation.

Industrial Alcohol

The manufacturing of commercial alcohol, ethanol came into existence after the Industrial revolution. And this was possible after the sufficient laws were made make it possible to sell tax-exempt alcohol, which had to be denatured first to avoid its use in various Alcohol drinks. This alcohol uses the chemical process of reaction of ethylene gas at high pressure with concentrated sulphuric  or maybe phosphoric acid to form  esters; this acid-ester mix is subsequently diluted with water and heated to form ethanol by hydrolysis, and the resultant ethanol is removed from the acid ester mix through steam distillation. Ethanol which is not used for beverages can be used in small quantities as a fuel to generate energy.

Microorganism:

This is the most commonly done process of preparation of alcohol. This type of preparation depends upon the type of carbohydrates that are used in the process. For example if alcohol is prepared of starch and glucose as the raw components in the method then exclusively chosen strains of microorganisms such as Saccharomyces crevisiae which is a yeast that are used. It plays the role of fermenting the sugars, that are naturally found and are coming from different sources,  such as grapes ,barley , rice etc to alcohol and carbon dioxide. So particular strains of these microorganisms are employed for the fermentation or different types of natural products and they are chosen for several qualities. They must develop quickly, have higher resilience to great concentartions of glucose but simultaneously they must be able to generate much higher quantities of alcohol than any other strains. The following raw materials are used for the production of alcohol using the culture of microorganisms. They are Blackstrap Molasses / Maize (Blackstrap molasses has higher use),Grains, Sulfite spend liquor, Whey, Potatoes, Wood Wastes

For Molasses fermentation, molasses must be watered down with the water to a glucose conc. between 10 -18%. Levels higher than 20% are not applied as they could be damaging to yeast. The pH of the method is set between 4 -5 by including acids that are employed. Bacterial pollutants are usually restricted by the low pH, great glucose conc. and anaerobic circumstances of the fermentation.

The alcohol preparation from starch is different than the yeast fermentation as it uses Starchy foods such as corn, rye and barley which must go starch hydrolysis. This can be achieved by crushing with barley malt, by addition of diminish chemicals or by using fungus amylolytic minerals (Aspergillus and Rhizopus).In most of the cases, malt is used to achieve hydrolysis of food made of starch By combining 30% barley and 70% corn with the water and using crushing techniques similar to wine beverages or beer.

Fermentation:

Fermentation is another process that is employed in the preparation of alcohol and is one of the oldest processes known to mankind. It is generally performed in huge reactors at a more higher temperature range between 21 - 27oC, but warm progress might increase the warm range to 30oC, so chilling coil coolers are used to bring the ambient temperature down. Fermentation can last for about 2-3 days, but actual period of time relies on the substrate used and the reactor temperature. The fermentation broth after the fermentation process varies from 6 -9 percent in alcohol by quantity and this alcohol generally shows the generated part of 90 -98% theoretical transformation of substrate glucose to alcohol.

So these are some general methods of preparing alcohol.

Best workout to lose abdominal fats

 This is the excess fat that accumulates around the stomach area. It is still referred to as belly fat. The more accumulation of the stomach fats leads to abdominal obesity, a situation which can ruin a person. The results of this condition are better revealed on societal relations. However there are other disease dangers associated with abdominal obesity. Belly fat can develop between all personalities. It is not associated with gender barriers, sex or age group. Human beings of all walks of life can be victims of abdominal obesity. Research has revealed that there is a strong relationship that exist between abdominal obesity and a variety of cardiovascular illness and that is why every individual should exercise a lot of extra care on the developments of belly fats

Cited workouts on losing Abdominal fats

In-activeness is a condition which can lead to belly fats accumulation. When a person do not do any exercises the results are disastrous.

Sore throat and its medication

 Sore throat (throat pain) is a symptom of Pharyngitis which is inflammation of the throat. It is also caused by other situation like diphtheria. In sore throat mild to extreme pain is falling into oropharynx region and difficulty in swallowing. Sore throat is caused by both bacteria and virus. Mostly the cause of sore throat is a viral infection about 80% such as cold which mean it cannot be treated with antibiotics. Mostly mild sore throat occur at the start of cold but situation becomes worse when the nose and sinuses get infected and the release of secretions reaches the throat and causes irritations. A mostly streptococcus is the main cause of the bacterial sore throat and it’s called strep throat. Strep throat can sometimes lead to a situation called rheumatoid fever. It cans not a lonely diagnosed by just looking at the throat but also need laboratory tests. Other than these it can also caused by the  dry winter air and also some time when people wake up in the morning they might have a sore throat which doesn't prevail for long and cure automatically and some time by just taking hot drinks.

Sore throat can be treated with home care such as drinking warm water, taking honey or tea, gargle several times in a day with mild warm water having salt in it, cold liquid and swallowing hard candies or lozenges which increase the salivary secretions but this method should not be adopted for the children’s because there is the risk of choking.

But if it is not cured with home care and there are symptoms like fever, swollen lymph gland red rashes sever difficulty in breathing than there is time to take medicine with the advice of your doctor or health care provider.

Cepacol spray for sore throat is useful medicine which contains benzocaine which is a numbing agent and cause numbness when come in contact with throat. Cepacol also available in lozenges and act in the same way as the Cepacol spray but is less effective than the Cepacol.

Some doctors recommend Tylenol and ibuprofen which are pain relievers and is available over the counter. You can take the ibuprofen and Tylenol after the four hours interval and also take in rotation (in rotation means you can take Tylenol one time and ibuprofen next time). Zinc lozenges also use as medicine to combat sore throat. After swallowing the tablet allow it to dissolve in your mouth and zinc enters into your system and fight against the source of sore throat. Supra is also medicine of choice for sore throat when the cause of sore throat is Pharyngitis.

Dengue fever and its symptoms

 Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus, which is also known by the name of break bone fever.  This disease epidemic in many parts of the world and about 110 countries of the world have been affected by this disease.  This disease becomes a great concern of problems after the World War II. About 50 million to 100 million people are affected by this disease every year. Fortunately the death rate from this disease is pretty low. Death occurs due to the dengue hemorrhagic fever. This virus mainly acts on the platelets which play an important role in stopping the bleeding. They tremendously decrease the platelet count in the body resulting in the blood become thin. This thin blood become the cause of the low blood pressure and blood become so much thin that it may start to leak into the body.  All this leads to the dengue shock syndrome.  Dengue virus contains RNA nucleotide and it is of four types. If the person is infected with type one it become a life long immune to this type. Immunity with other type also attains but for very brief or a small period of time. If the person is infected with another type of dengue virus it may lead to life threatening complications. The biggest problem about this virus is that still not a single vaccine is available in the market. Research is going on to prepare an effective vaccine against this disease. Medicine is their but not an effective one is there. The mood of transmission of this virus is through arthropods which include ticks and mosquitoes.  As it is transmitted through the arthropods so it is called as an arthropod born virus. It is primarily transmitted by the mosquitoes. In mosquitoes the Aedes family is the main carrier of the disease and particularly the A. Egyptian is the main source of transmitting the disease. Dengue virus is caused by the female mosquito and male mosquitoes do not source or carrier of the dengue virus. Recently Pakistan is the most affected countries from this virus. In 2009 this virus attacks the Srilanka pretty badly and hundred of people died from this disease. Symptoms which are the cause of the dengue fever are the pain in the joints, rashes on the skin, high fever ranging from 101 to 105 Fahrenheit, pain in the eyes, low blood pressure, and severe pain in the stomach are the main symptoms which appear by affecting dengue virus. 

Treatment of dengue fever

 Dengue fever is becoming endemic in many parts of the world. As the disease recently affects the Pakistan and Srilanka very badly and claiming hundreds of lives. At the present time there is no effective medicine is available against the dengue fever. As the dengue is the cause of the RNA virus. The mortality rate is pretty low about less than 1 % but still it is a dangerous disease. Attempts have been made to make a vaccine against the disease and medicine which directly act against the virus, but then not being able to succeed yet.   If you or your dear one have dengue fever the following treatment method will be very helpful. The treatment of the dengue fever mainly depends on the condition of the patient, as most only 5 % of the total person affected by this disease severely of total person affected by the dengue fever. Fever caused by the dengue virus is treated with the antipyretic drugs like paracetamol (acetaminophen) and for the relief of pain only pain killer are recommended. Aspirin and non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs are contraindicated because they are blood thinner and dengue virus has already decreased the platelets counts so the situation become complicated by using these medicines. If you want to use them use it with your physician advice only.  If the situation becomes worse then first thing we have done is to hospitalize the patient immediately. According to the survey of the world health organization is that the mortality rate without proper treatment is about 40 % but with the proper treatment and management the mortality rate is about as less as 2 % only. As the death occurs from the dengue virus attack is due to DHF (dengue hemorrhagic fever). In DHF situation can become complicated as blood transfusion has to do with induction of intravenous fluid to avoid dehydration with proper care is required. The best possible way to avoid dengue is not allowing the stagnant water around your house and locality as this disease is spread by the mosquitoes so try your level best to keep yourself away from the mosquitoes.   Give normal saline water or dextrose saline water to the patient to avoid dehydration and decrease level of salts in the body.  After the recovery from the disease discontinuous the intravenous fluid to avoid the overloading. After the infection from his one serotype the person become immune to that particular serotype.

Anatomy of Penis

 The penis is the male animal reproductive organ both vertebrate and invertebrates. The pen is also serves as an additional role as male urinary tract in the placental mammals. Penis word is derived from the Latin word meaning tail.

 In human being penis is located above the scrotum and is composed of the spongy tissues and veins. It consists of the following parts shaft, foreskin and foreskin opening. The foreskin is the covering of the penis and it is not the normal radiant skin and foreskin form a double layer by forming fold on itself. The foreskin is divided into the outer foreskin and the inner foreskin. The outer foreskin is a continuation of the shaft. Where as the inner foreskin is the unique skin found in the male as it consists of the mucocutaneous tissue. The head of the penis is the extremely sensitive part of the penis and it is the smooth and shinny part. The frenulum acts as connecting membrane in the penis.  The foreskin has several functions such as to give protection and provide the sufficient covering during the erection. Reduce friction during the chafing process. Foreskin also keeps the Glans soft. The foreskin is about 80 to 70 % of the total penis skin. Foreskin also plays an important role in smooth movement of the penis in the intercourse between two partners. Foreskin helps in the masturbation. Foreskin also helps in stimulation of the G-spot of the female by contact. The glans is and other part present on the bulb part of the penis when it is erected. Because Glans plays an important role in later stages of the sexual intercourse.  The glans is even capable of triggering the organism. Frenulum and the rigid band also play an important role in the stimulation and gives pleasure able feeling during the stimulation or arousal. Erection of the penis results from the increase in blood flow. During the arousal period the blood vessels of the penis become expanded and resulting in the there is more blood flow into the penis and less blood leaves the penis. By this increase blood flow hardening of the penis occur and the corpus cavernosum tissues become hard.

Penis as being the reproductive organ release sperms. The process of releasing the sperm is called ejaculation and it is usually begun during the puberty around 12 to 14 years. Sperm is released into the fluid and its survival time is pretty low.
