Macrolides

Comments

 
Picture
group of antibiotics produced by various strains of Streptomyces that have a complex macrocyclic structure: usually a large ketone ring with two sugar rings at its 3 and 5 positions.

Most of macrolides are antibiotics inhibiting protein synthesis by blocking microbial ribosome. Ketolides are especially effective as they bind to two ribosomal sites. The drugs 
tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, and sirolimus, which are used as immunosuppressants or immunomodulators, are also macrolides. They have similar activity to ciclosporin.

Comments

 
Picture
​Also known as milk of magnesia (because of its milk-like appearance when mixed with water), this compound is a common component of laxatives and antacids, used to treat symptoms caused by too much stomach acid. Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminum Hydroxide  are often used together to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. They may be used to treat these symptoms in patients with peptic ulcer, gastritis, esophagitis, hiatal hernia, or too much acid in the stomach (gastric hyperacidity).

Maple syrup

Comments

 
Picture
Thick sweet liquid collected from the rising sap of sugar maple trees.

Maple Syrup begins as sap - the watery fluid that circulates through a a maple tree. The sap is harvested when temperatures at night are below freezing but it is above freezing in day time. The sap is then concentrated and filtered into maple syrup.
​
Syrup produced at the beginning of the season is typically lighter in color and sweeter tasting. It is called 'light' or light amber. As the season progresses, the syrup becomes darker in color and the maple flavor becomes stronger. It first becomes medium amber, then dark amber. After dark amber it becomes 'grade b' syrup, so called because it is not top quality in color but has a strong maple flavor. The stronger the flavor, the less swweter the taste. 
Maple syrup contains more calcium then milk, more potassium than a banana, more manganese, iron, and zinc than honey. It has a variety of pleasantly smelling compounds such as  vanillin, hydroxybutanone, propionaldehyde, maple furanone, strawberry furanone, and maltol.

Maple syrup also contains antioxidants such as polyphenols including Ginnalins A-C and Quebecol.

Menstruation

Comments

 
Picture
monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of non-pregnant women.

Menstrual period usually lasts for 2-7 days. Moderate flow means that about 7 soaked regular-sized sanitary products were used during these days. Heavy flow means 9 to 12 soaked regular-sized sanitary products, while around 16 means that the flow is very heavy. 
Very heavy and prolonged periods, sometimes with passing big clots (menorrhagia) could be also very painful (dysmenorrhea). It happens when estrogen levels are higher and progesterone levels are lower than normal.

Mercury

Comments

 
Picture
Heavy silvery-white transition metal  (atomic number 80, 1 ppm = 100 mcg per 100 g), liquid at ordinary temperatures. Historically, mercury or one of its compounds were used medicinally, especially to treat syphilis.
Liquid mercury is slightly toxic, while its vapor, compounds and salts are highly toxic and have been implicated as causing brain and liver damage when ingested, inhaled or contacted. The inhalation of mercury vapor can produce harmful effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, lungs and kidneys, and may be fatal. The inorganic salts of mercury are corrosive to the skin, eyes and gastrointestinal tract, and may induce kidney toxicity if ingested.
Once in the environment, mercury can be transformed by bacteria into methylmercury that can bioaccumulate in fish and shellfish. Large predatory fish are more likely to have high levels of mercury as a result of eating many smaller fish that have acquired mercury through ingestion of plankton.
