WHY MICROBIOLOGY???

Bacterial species and microbes are everywhere and are thriving in their environments. Due to their plentiful conditions, they will continuously modify their genes and therefore become resistant to vaccines and attack the hosts' immune system. Microbiology is a fascinating subject itself.

Microbiology has a significant effect on our daily lives.

Microorganisms are everywhere.

They are everywhere in our surroundings , wherever we go.

WHY IS MICROBIOLOGY SO IMPORTANT ?

Microbiology is not only related to medicine but it is used in vast range of industries also like ,

Medicine
Pharmaceuticals
Nursing
Laboratory work
Wine industry
Genetics
Health care
Food industries

And the list goes on.....

WHAT IS MICROBIOLOGY?

Simply Microbiology is the branch of science in which we study about Micro-organisms, study of all living organisms which can't be seen with naked eye, which are too small to be visible. It includes :

Bacteria
Archaea
Viruses
Fungi
Prions
Protozoa
Algae

These are collectively known as "Microbes". Play important roles in :

Nutrient cycling
Biodegradation
Climate change
Food spoilage
Cause and Control of Diseases
Biotechnology

In medicine alone, microbiologists have contributed to some of history's most important scientific breakthroughs. Edward Jenner invented the world’s first smallpox vaccine. Robert Koch identified the causes of cholera, tuberculosis and anthrax. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin.Microbiologists are pushing the envelope of science and helping to save lives in the process.

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH A MICROBIOLOGY DEGREE???

Microbiology is a valuable degree that can open up a number of career paths. Jobs related to a microbiology degree include:

Biomedical Scientist
Biotechnologist
Clinical Research Associate
Food Technologist
Medicinal Chemist
Microbiologist
Pharmacologist
Research Scientist
Technical Brewer
Water Quality Scientist

The value of Microbiologists has increased alot specially during this pandemic as Microbiology has helped us in making of antibiotics and vaccine , prevention of diseases . So as a career choice , I think Microbiology is not less than other professions like doctors, engineers etc. I would recommend this field a thousand times.

Don't mess with me - I am a stroke survivor

Summary:- The word stroke comes from the idea of receiving a ‘strike’ or ‘blow’ as that is how quickly strokes appear – all of a sudden people are struck by this illness. Every year more than 15 million people worldwide have a stroke. Of these, five million die, and another five million are left disabled. Whilst most strokes occur in people over the age of 65 they can occur in much younger people too. A stroke is when any part of the brain loses its blood supply that prevents brain tissues to get enough oxygen and nutrients. What exactly is a stroke? The brain, like all parts of the body, needs oxygen, which it gets from the blood. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is cut off. When brain cells are starved of oxygen, they become damaged. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or brain attack are other names of a stroke. What are the types of stroke? There are three main types of stroke. ISCHEMIC STROKE HEMORRHAGIC STROKE T...
