Are you familiar with Cystic Fibrosis (CF)? 💚

A common diagnosis among infants and children, CF is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs; passed down through the family line. It is characterized by the production of thick, sticky mucus that can lead to breathing difficulties and frequent infections, as well as problems with digestion and nutrient absorption.🫁 🧪

This possibly life-long disease means that the patient needs to adjust and maintain a lot of medication. It would really help if the disease can be detected earlier and undergo treatments. Though it may not exactly have a cure for now, testing would be a great help to identify if one has it.

Fortunately, newborns can get tested in the early days after childbirth.👶 If there is a possibility of CF with your child, additional testing would also be done to confirm it.🩺

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that may affect the skin, eyes, and nerves.💚

Also known as Hansen’s Disease, it is caused by a slow-growing bacteria called Mycobacterium leprae. If left untreated, it may lead to progressive permanent damage.

This coming Sunday, the last in January, 💜 is being commemorated with the theme "Leprosy is curable, the real challenge is stigma". This campaign theme reflects the fact that leprosy is easily cured with antibiotic treatment, but stigma is all too common and can make life very difficult for persons affected by leprosy.

Let us raise awareness about illness, educate people about its treatment, and end leprosy-related stigma and discrimination.👍

📋 Bacillus Clausii: Potential, Innovations, & Breakthroughs***** 📋

Aside from managing digestive issues, did you know that can now also help with acute diarrhea - for both children and adults? 🤔 So much so that recent developments have led to considering these bioactive agents beyond the usual.

Bacillus clausii (B. clausii) is a known utilized probiotic mainly for acute diarrhea, specifically in pediatric cases. This piece aims to delve into the subject matter's physiological, probiotic, and immunomodulatory characteristics, shedding light on its potential indications through an exploration of ongoing research.

Physiological Aspects

"B. clausii strains possess a valuable array of properties, including tolerance to heat, acid, and bile salts, enhancement of gut barrier function, and vitamin synthesis. Its spores exhibit resistance to degradation in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, hinting a potential for effective gut colonization." *,**

In riboflavin-depleted environments such as colon cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, B. clausii O/C, N/R, SIN, and T, produce adequate riboflavin, which is vital due to the host's inability to synthesize this nutrient.* A novel B.clausii strain has been studied to stimulate pantothenic acid and cobalamin production.

In various medical contexts, the subject matter showcases potential therapeutic benefits. Patients surviving pancreatic adenocarcinoma for over five years exhibit a microbiome containing B. clausii, potentially linked to improved survival.*

In summary, these varied results highlight B. clausii's multifaceted therapeutic potential in many medical conditions, from gut health to inflammatory disorders, and even potential adjunctive therapies. As research continues, promising results are expected making more future therapeutic options possible for varied medical scenarios.
