Avatar m tn I was having some stomach irritation and loose stool, and after consuming some lactose and fructose heavy food at a conference, my bloating returned and my IBS was worse than it was prior to the antibiotics. I then took a course of Cipro, 100 mg twice daily for a week. I also took Xifaxan simultaneously for the IBS 500 mg 3 times daily for 10 days. The Cipro seemed to help the joint pain but the two compounded the GI symptoms.
Avatar m tn In that case your chances of catching anything are slim, furthermore taking antiobiotics for absolutely no reason can increase your resistance to antibiotics. So when/if you REALLY need to take them one day they might not work.
Avatar m tn Gauf thought you might find this study interesting. Its being done in Switzerland. AdoMet is another name for SAMe. Anyone know what Betaine is. This so agrees with the way I think on Non response, so I hope it works. http://clinicaltrial.gov/ct2/show/NCT00310336?cond=%22Hepatitis+C%2C+Chronic%22&rank=182 S-Adenosylmethionine and betaine correct hepatitis C virus induced inhibition of interferon signaling in vitro. Duong FH, Christen V, Filipowicz M, Heim MH.
26471 tn?1211936521 A recent study of pioglitizone + SOC demonstrated that managing insulin resistance via upregulation of PPARy does not increase the efficacy of SOC therapy. A study with metformin + SOC seemed to indicate a small RVR outcome, but the study was very small and inconclusive. Because of these results, I tend to view insulin resistance as a symptom of something further upstream, that may need to be addressed upstream, the overexpression of SOCS3.
Avatar n tn My question is whether somone could show resistance to antibiotics within the first weeks of exposure or is this more common in more advanced stages of HIV/AIDS?
163305 tn?1333668571 —Cóilín Nunan, Alliance to Save Our Antibiotics News outlets reported Monday that UK government scientists have found a gene, known as mcr-1, that gives bacteria resistance to colistin, often used by doctors when other antibiotics fail. Such resistance was first discovered last month in China, and in the past few weeks, the resistance gene has also been found in Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and in several Asian and African countries.
Avatar m tn Girl A is prescribed Deoxycycline twice daily for 1 week (Girl A never tested, but took antibiotics due to exposure) - Advised not to have sex for 7 days.
Avatar m tn Objectives The aim of this study was to characterise a novel HBV pattern which shows resistance to lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil and entecavir using in vitro phenoyping assay. Study design A male 36 years old patient diagnosed with anti HBe-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) had received lamivudine treatment for 7 years following an initial unsuccessfull interferon treatment. The therapy had been switched to adefovir and then to entecavir when breakthrough occcured during each treatment.
Avatar m tn Can anybody explain how that virologic breakthrough works ? I mean since there is no resistance how does the virus breakthrough ?
Avatar m tn In the study I referenced above it was found that after resistance to the PI was established when they discontinued the PI the successful mutant virus disappears as the wild-type virus becomes the dominant strain once again. If the new PI used has a similar profile to the old one the resistance will take hours, not days to develop. As you noted this would be the case if the two used in this example were teleprivir and boceprivir.
Avatar m tn Contrary to all expectations, not only did we find no significant insulin resistance in the liver of the patients in the study, half of them suffered from a strain of Hepatitis C that causes about three times the normal level of fat to accumulate in the liver," said study author Professor Don Chisholm. "The fifteen people with very high levels of fat in the liver had the same degree of insulin resistance as the fourteen that didn't have fatty livers.
Avatar f tn What I would like to know is if the people who have not taken many antibiotics in their lifetimes are as at risk as those who have built a resistance to them. Is this mutant bacteria dangerous because the antibiotics don't work for a person who has a resistance or because it is so powerful that even if an antibiotic works well for you, the bacterial strain is so powerful, it will override any known antibiotic? Does this question make sense?
Avatar f tn A potentially dangerous sexually transmitted disease that infects millions of people each year is growing resistant to drugs and could soon become untreatable, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. . . Scientists reported last year finding a "superbug" strain of gonorrhea in Japan in 2008 that was resistant to all recommended antibiotics and warned then that it could transform a once easily treatable infections into a global health threat.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, my liver doctor is a transplant surgeon who said, "maybe". My gp is a PI thanks to medi-cal who doesn't even know anything about IR. Ugh. I read a 2008 study posted here about reversal after IF induced SVR. I was quite an active member around 2005. Tons of info then.
Avatar n tn Short courses of antibiotics have long-term impact on microbial flora of human gut Short courses of antibiotics can leave normal gut bacteria harbouring antibiotic resistance genes for up to two years after treatment, say scientists writing in the latest issue of Microbiology, published on 3 November.
