Lollipops protect teeth from decay and bacteria

Image
German researchers at the biotechnology company created lollipops with bacteria that help fight tooth decay. To achieve the desired effect, microbiologists added to candy population dead bacteria Lactobacillus paracasei, says the results of their study published in the Journal of Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins . Caries occurs because oral microorganisms, during the life of releasing an acid that damage the tooth enamel. To reduce the amount of streptococci microbiologists led added to candy canes killed by heat treatment Lactobacillus paracasei. As microbiologists believe, these lactic acid bacteria associated with streptococcal thanks located in their cell wall sugars. Then, when a person swallows or spits saliva microorganisms, they leave the mouth. In unusual trials involved 60 volunteers candies, half of which went to lollipops with bacteria (the first group), the other used the regular sweets with the same taste (the second group). Scientists took saliva samples f...

Two amazing health technology discoveries to help our well-being

Medical technology offers the scientific knowledge in the service of patients, to improve the treatments, cares and prevention of disease. The process of health technology assessment summarizes medical, social, economic and ethical data in order to ensure that the technology is used in a systematic, transparent and impartially way, and well hinged. In this respect, allows the development of safe and effective health policies oriented towards patients. Although its objectives are political in nature, must not lose contact with the strong research and scientific methods. Among the examples of medical technology are included: diagnostic and treatment methods, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation and prevention methods, organizational and support systems within which health care is provided, etc. The IBM applies the computer technology to antibiotics The IBM has created a new type of gel against germs, meant to be used against hospital-acquired infections that are resis...
