Ingestion

Eating has evolved with humans as more than just a mere act of survival. Today we have varying styles of cuisine that span across nations and the cultures within them. Furthermore, we all have differing tastes, opposing techniques and flavors that we have grown up on. While cooking and eating may have began as a path of exploration and freedom, we now have unwritten restrictions as to what is and is not ok to eat. As an example, within our society options like insects, pet-like animals, rats, rotting foods, tongues, and even testicles are among some foods that are considered taboo and would break our norms, or might even cause revulsion. While we may not realize it, our society strongly dictates exactly what we like to eat every day. Some cultures may view those examples above as delicacies. In fact, our specific tastes have been almost hand-picked by the people around us since the day we were born. Our society dictates what grosses us out and what makes our mouths water. In this regard, we are compelled to eat socially acceptable foods in such a way that goes beyond our simple likes and dislikes. Someone who enjoys to eat foods that are out of the ordinary may avoid doing so in a social setting for fear of being ostracised or looked down upon. As an example, someone may substitute a salad for a burger in order to appear as though they are eating healthier in order to avoid the stigma associated with fatty foods. In another seemingly extreme example, but probably more…

Poday, gluten ingestion has been linked with a variety of clinical gluten-related disorders, with an estimated 5% of the population worldwide affected by these disorders.

Electrolyte and Plasma Responses After Ingestion of Pickle Juice in Hydrated Females Adanna Cheek Radford University  Introduction Every physically active person knows how it feels to be in the middle of a sporting event or workout and suddenly experience a muscle cramp. These cramps are inhibiting and painful, as well as cause a decrease in performance. Exercise-associated muscle cramps, or EAMC, are defined as skeletal muscle cramps that occur during or directly after exercise (Miller et…

We focused on arsenic exposure health risk analysis through oral ingestion and dermal absorption pathways of groundwater in the present study. The local residents in the study area were interviewed for basic information such as age, sex, body weight, health status, socio-economic status, food habits and drinking water sources. It was mentioned that the residents were using mainly groundwater for drinking and other purposes. The poverty, lack of awareness and having no effective alternatives were…

- MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE SEVERE TOXICITY (MDX): Patients who present more than 36 hours (“late”) after acute acetaminophen ingestion may have significant liver injury and even liver failure (INR greater than 1.5, acidosis or encephalopathy). Intubate patients with altered mental status and resuscitate hypotensive patients with crystalloid and adrenergic vasopressors. Treat coagulopathic patients who are bleeding with fresh frozen plasma. Patients with renal failure may require renal replacement…

The article titled “SEMEN INGESTION AND ORAL SEX IN ANCIENT EGYTIAN TEXTS” by Marc Orriols- Llonch explores the sexual practices in ancient Egypt, and discussed potential meanings of the Egyptian writings. The article talks about the possibility that the passages may have many different meanings, including Oral sex from a female, Oral sex from a male which is quickly dismissed due to the lack of acceptance at the time, and that ancient Egyptians gods were able to reproduce from oral ingestions .…

Hydrocarbons are lipophilic compounds that are readily absorbed from the lungs following inhalation, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract following ingestion and the skin following dermal exposure (ASTDR, 1995). In humans, it was reported that B(a)P measured in the lungs following inhalation of soot particles was much lower than expected. This may be due to the ability of the pulmonary epithelial cells to metabolise B(a)P thereby facilitating its absorption and clearance from the lungs (IPCS, 1998). …

unintentionally ingested, most commonly by children and adolescents. It may occur intentionally in young and older adults in an attempt to loose weight, with suicidal intentions or for undeclared purposes. Clinical manifestations of thyroxine overdose are largely sympathomimetic in nature and result from adrenergic stimulation – they include: agitation, sweating, tachycardia, hypertension, headache, diarrhoea and vomiting. SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS AFTER INGESTION OF LT4 1. Acute psychosis 2. Blood…

had happened the cells that make the enamel weren’t functioning correctly and did not evenly distribute it over the tooth surface. The reason most teeth are white is because the outer layer of the tooth is covered in the enamel. Due to the uneven layering of the enamel on her molars it was thinner in areas so the layer underneath the enamel was visible causing it to appear yellowish-brown. There are often many reasons for this but due to the daughters age when she was 8 years old or longer it…

4. Uptake and bioaccumulation of plastic derived chemicals A key factor contributing to the bioavailability of microplastics is their small size, density, color, surface (smooth or rough) (Stephanie L. Wright a,2013). Food chain disturbance in marine environment is the major problem because due to ingestion of plastic which consists of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), POP and PAH. They absorbs/bioaccumulation in the fatty acid of living organism and cause death of the species. At least 180…
