How Does the Body React to a Severe Burn?
Severe burns cause serious, body-wide problems. At the root of most of these problems is the body's explosive inflammatory response.

A normal inflammatory response protects the body from invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, cancerous cells, toxins, and foreign materials. It activates in response to infection, injury, or other threat. It is designed to destroy the cause of the problem, contain the damage, and clean up the mess left by dead cells and other debris. But when faced with large or deep burns, it can overreact, often making the injury more severe and harming the heart, lungs, blood vessels, kidneys, and other organ systems.

During this inflammatory response, there is fluid loss that can cause a sharp and potentially deadly drop in blood pressure known as shock. Fluid can also become trapped inside the body, leading to swelling known as edema. If tissues and organs do not receive enough oxygen because of shock, edema, or something else, they suffer damage and can fail. The lungs, heart, brain, and kidneys are particularly susceptible.

Infection is also a major concern. Burns damage the skin's protective barrier, meaning bacteria and other foreign invaders can sneak in. Burns also weaken the immune system, so the body is less able to fight off threats. Infections can take hold not only in the injured area, but also in organs such as the lungs (pneumonia) and bloodstream (sepsis), where they are potentially lethal.

Run in Agarose gel electrophoresis which is one of the most common electrophoresis techniques which is relatively simple and straightforward to perform but possesses great resolving power. The agarose gel consists of microscopic pores that act as a molecular sieve that separates molecules based on the charge, size, and shape.

May Day is a May 1 celebration with a long and varied history, dating back millennia. Throughout the years, there have been many different events and festivities worldwide, most with the express purpose of welcoming in a change of season (spring in the Northern Hemisphere). In the 19th century, May Day took on a new meaning, as an International Workers’ Day grew out of the 19th-century labor movement for worker’s rights.

Laboratory of Food Microbiology and Biotechnology (LFMB) & Artificial Intelligence for Development Laboratory ( JUSTAIDLab) jointly organanized a training “Proximate Analysis and Research Development” which successfully held at Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST) on April 06 – April 07, 2023.
Congratulations to the successful participants.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by our lives, to think that we have the weight of the world on our shoulders. Yet we are not alone during our times of trouble and need. Find peace in knowing that the same God who made the mountains walks with you through your hardships.
