Saccharomyces boulardii as effective probiotic against Salmonella typhimurium in Mice

Abstract:This study was designed to investigate the protective role of Sacchromyces bouladii on intestinal section of mice infected with Salmonella typhimurium. Mice were divided into four groups. Acontrol group is uninfected with bacteria represent (negative control) , a second group was infected with bacteria S.typhimurium 0.1 ml (2.5 ×107 cfu/ ml) only represent (positive control) , the third group Induced mice received oral dose of S. boulardii 0.1ml (1×109 cfu/mL). Treated mice received S. boulardii (1×109 cfu/mL) orally for 7 days, followed by Salmonella infection. At the end of the experimental period the histological Results showed that administration of S. typhimurium alone resulted in a necrosis, degenerative changes and inflammatory cells infiltration in intestinal sections as compared with normal section taken from uninfected mice, while pretreatment with the S. boulardii ameliorate this effect

The use of gamification in social phobia

Social phobia usually starts in adolescence. Social situations that include meeting people, talking in groups, or in more specific situations are going to be avoided by individuals. Therefore, this condition has the consequence of significant impairment in diferente occupations. Recent studies show that gamification applied to interventions for the treatment of chronic diseases, and although there are interventions concerning mental health, these are few and there is evidence that these interventions have positive effects on mental health, particularly among, young people. The desensitization therapy program using gamification consisted of 15 sessions, 13 biweekly exposure therapy sessions, and the last reevaluation session corresponding to a total duration of the program of seven weeks. Each session, lasting approximately 50 minutes, is followed a formal structure consisting of the following phases. The intervention focused on shaping appropriate approach behaviors through a processo f successive approximations. ( 132-153)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
