Questions & Answers
Question : What does the destruction of yeast cells indicate of what happened in the phospholipid bilayer?
okey heres the deal, i performed an experiment where yeast cells were treated with garlic and incubated for 12 hrs. Upon viewing them in the microscope, i saw the yeast cells to be 'less clumped' and relatively smaller in size. To explain this phenomenon, i wish to relate the answer to cell structure, the phospholipid bilayer, cell surface area relating to decreased metablosim .etc. Particularly, it would be of gr8 help, if i could get a good explanation regarding changes in phospholipid bilayer; such as decrease in lipid synthesis. Also, i observed fast moving yeast cells when treated for high conc. of garlic, does this indicate anything about increased mobility in the fluid mosiac model?....please aid me in an explanation ...i would be deeply grateful. Thank u!! and god bless u
Answer:
The main constituent of fungal cell walls is chitin. The phospholipid bilayers are more represented in the outer cell membranes(s) than the outer wall. Garlic, (Allium sativum), has a number of powerful sulfhydryl compounds that are highly bio-active against a broad spectrum of micro-organisms. Some of these chemicals are alliine, allicin, ajoene, allylmercaptan, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, & tetrasulfide etc. The latter 2 are particularly lethal to yeast spp.
These compounds have strong oxidative activity that damages cell membranes.
There are other anti-fungal mechanisms. Search "garlic derived anti-yeast compounds"& other similar phrases for more information.
Cheers!

Question : Where can I find out more about my medications side effects than is on the information slip in the packet?
I have arthritus in my lower spine & knees which really flares up from time to time so my mobility & pain level is unpredictable from day to day. Also I had my splene removed in an accident when I was a teenager & as I got older was prescribed tablets to assist my immune system which I have to take every day forever. Unfortunately I got unpleasant symptoms from the tablets prescribed & my GP had to change them several times, at one time I just stopped taking any atall without telling her because each type made me feel terrible. I am now on 250mg of Cefalexin a day but my arthritus has become unbearable since I have been on them & my GP seems reluctant to acknowledge a link to these tablets. Daily I take Flouxatine for depression, Dihydrocodeine for pain & Simvastatin to assist my diabetis with no problems. How can I find out if the Cefalexin is agravating the arthritus, I wonder if I am allergic to something specific in these or similar tablets that I have had to aid my immune system
In answer to Dr Franks question below - 1) I take the Dihydrocodeine for pain relief but it does give me constipation & they are not always very effective (what might be better for my pain relief? I think all painkillers have side effects but on the whole these are easier to live with than the pain itself).
2) I had my spleen removed following an accident & now have a very low immune system, I am very susceptable to infection & symptoms like average colds quickly turn to bronchitus etc., Cefalexin is meant to give me a bit of protection from everyday infections. I have tried other medications but these have all had side effects including swoollen tongue, painful ulcers in my mouth & painful joints. Im wondering if I am allergic to a common ingredient in them all that my body reacts against.
My thanks to everyone for all the advice.
Answer:
Sorry to hear of your problems. Your best bet is to do some research on side effects on the net in Google, just type in the medication name and away you go! take care

Question : Advice on coping with disability whilst pregnant?
I'm currently six months pregnant with my second child. I have a toddler to a previous relationship, and became pregnant when contraception failed during a non-serious relationship. The father has had nothing to do with me since I found out, so I am a single mother to almost two.
I'm not looking for financial advice. I had a job, but lost it due to the degeneration of mobility pregnancy brings on (will teach me for being honest about things with my employer), so am now signed off as unfit to work and on benefits.
I am more looking for advice on how to manage day-to-day tasks, like caring for a toddler, washing, shopping, housework, and on how to cope with chronic joint pain, especially back, pelvic and in the hands.
Social services have offered a carer, and occupational therapy have provided some aids to help with getting around the house, but is there is anything I can do on top of that?
Are there any other forms of support that I am not utilising?
I am educated, and if getting myself 'fixed' were an option then trust me I would be chosing that rather than struggling in pain day in day out.
I don't really think that as a tax payer myself for the past ten years, that some time out with a disability that puts me in a wheelchair is much to be asking of the government.
Also, working from home whilst I am already struggling with the basics, like washing myself and caring for my toddler seems like putting even more pressure onto an already overloaded system. This question isn't about money or working, it's about getting through a difficult time and managing to achieve daily tasks a lot of people take for granted as being easy to achieve.
Answer:
Depending on whether you have a diagnosed disability you might be eligable for more benefits although from what you say it is more physical help you need.
However, if you could afford to pay for a cleaner a couple of hours a week it would probably help you cope a bit better.
Is there anyone else who might be able to help you? Mother / friend / sister etc who could perhaps do the ironing for you or help with the washing once or twice a week.
I'd talk to the Social Services Dept again and accept the offfer of the carer and see if they can help in any other way. There may be a subsidised playgroup your toddler could join a couple of mornings a week to give you time to have a rest.
If your toddler is coming up to three you will be entitled to 12 1/2 hours a week free childcare from either April 1st / September 1st or January 1st (after they turn 3). This is for school term-time so works out to be about 9 months a year.
You don't mention the father of your toddler but if he isn't interested in helping perhaps his parents might want a relationship with their grandchild and could look after them for a couple of hours a week?
