Caitlin Boyd Sample Informative Speech Outline Staphylococcus Infections: The Silent Killer Introduction: Attention Getter On October 4, 2007, Ashton Bonds, an otherwise healthy high school senior, was admitted to a Virginia hospital after complaining of abdominal pain. The doctors ran tests, but were unable to determine the cause of his illness and sent him home. Days later, his condition had worsened and he was readmitted to the hospital. This time, the doctors discovered the problem: a staph infection. By the time the diagnosis was made, the disease had already spread to Ashton’s lungs, heart, kidneys, and liver. The doctors attempted to drain the infected fluid, but before the surgery could be performed, Ashton developed a blood clot near his heart and died. He was 17 years old. While most healthy people can recover from staph infections easily, they can occasionally become seriously ill. In rare cases, staph infections can be fatal. In order to protect yourself and your loved ones, it’s important to find out more about staph. Central Idea/Thesis Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as ‘staph’, is a generally innocuous bacterium that lives on human skin. However, when staph bacteria enter the bloodstream serious complications can sometimes occur, causing severe illness and even death. Significance Statement/Justification According to a study performed by Dr. Tamer Fouad of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in 2005, nearly 5% of hospital or nursing home patients contract staph at some point during their stay. He estimates that these infections result in almost 12,000 hospital-related staph deaths per year in the US. Factoring in the number of infections and deaths that take place outside of hospitals, the number of staph deaths climbs even higher. Preview In order to protect ourselves better from this potentially fatal organism, we will first find out what staph is and how it spreads. Next, we will discover how staph is diagnosed and treated. Finally, we will find out the best ways to prevent staph infections and find out what doctors are doing to reduce their patient’s risk of developing infections. Transition: Staph has received a lot of publicity in recent years, but most people still aren’t clear on exactly what staph is and how it is contracted. So let’s first look at some basic facts. I. Staph is a common bacteria passed by human contact that can sometimes have severe complications. A. Though many people have heard of staph, most have mistaken ideas about what it is. 1. B. C. Staphylococcus aureus is a highly contagious form of bacteria, not a virus as some believe. 2. Staph is not particularly rare. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2001, over 30% of the US population carries staph bacteria, usually on the skin around the scalp, armpits, groin, and in the nasal passages. 3. Staph can also be carried by domesticated animals such as dogs and cats, though it is not clear whether the bacteria can be passed between animals and humans. An extensive study examining potential transmission between species was published in Veterinary Microbiology in June 2006, but the results were inconclusive and researchers still are not sure whether humans can catch staph from animals. Staph is usually contracted through human contact, and enters the body through the bloodstream. 1. The primary method of infection for humans is contact with an infected person or a contaminated object or surface. 2. Infection develops when bacteria breaches the skin and enters the bloodstream. People with open wounds and cuts are at risk for contracting staph. 3. Staph can generally be found wherever people congregate. Hospitals, lockers rooms and swimming pools are common sources of staph infections. Staph can be dangerous for people with weakened immune systems. 1. For healthy people who have strong immune systems, staph infections are generally not serious, though according to a Columbia University Health Services article on staph published in 2002, it sometimes causes such minor conditions as impetigo, sties, and boils. However, in people with impaired immune systems (such as HIV patients, drug users, small children, the elderly, and people with other medical conditions that damage their immune system) staph infections can be fatal. 2. When staph begins to spread in a hospital or other medical facility, it can be deadly because of the high concentration of people at high risk for infection due to illness and injury. Transition: Now that we understand what staph is and how it is contracted, we need to know how doctors can diagnose and treat the illness. Fortunately, modern medicine had many ways of dealing with infections like staph. II. Doctors have developed many different methods of dealing with staph infections. A. Because it is a potentially serious illness, careful precautions and quick action must be taken when doctors suspect staph. 1. In 2006, the Center for Disease Control issued a memo to hospitals, detailing how staph infections should be diagnosed. These instructions state that first swabs should be taken from the infected area. Next, the cells collected from the swab should be examined under a microscope to confirm the presence of staph bacteria. 2. B. If staph is diagnosed, the CDC recommends that doctors carefully examine anyone who has come into contact with the patient to make sure they have not contracted the disease. If the staph infection occurs in a hospital and is a particularly virulent strain, this can sometimes mean quarantining an entire section of hospital personnel and patients to make sure the infection does not spread. Staph can usually be successfully treated with antibiotics, but sometimes that is not effective. 1. Because it is a bacterium, staph can often be effectively treated with antibiotics. However, over the last few years, many different kinds of antibiotics have lost effectiveness due to overuse. Sources such as the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics blame this on overprescription by doctors and improper use by patients. According to a statement released by the APUA in 1999, antibiotic overuse is a serious problem in medicine today. When antibiotics are used too often or inappropriately, the bacteria develop resistance to the drugs, rendering them ineffective. 2. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is the name for a certain strain of staph bacteria that has become impervious to most antibiotics. While healthy people infected with MRSA can often recover from the disease without the need for antibiotics, people with impaired immune systems can be in serious trouble. According to information released by the MRSA Watch in 2006, there are still a few antibiotics that are effective against MRSA, but if the infection is not treated promptly, it can be fatal. Transition: So while medical professionals do have ways of treating staph, an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. Fortunately, there are still many ways the staph can be prevented. Let’s look at some of the best ways to avoid the disease. III. The best methods of preventing staph involve cleanliness and taking appropriate precautions with infected patients. A. Basic methods of infection control are most effective when dealing with staph 1. Hand-washing is the best way to reduce the spread of staph bacteria. It is also a good idea to refrain from touching the face, open wounds, and mucus membranes (such as the nose) that may harbor staph bacteria. 2. In 2006, the Center for Disease Control issued guidelines on their website to health departments encouraging certain precautions to prevent the spread of staph. The information stated that cleanliness in medical facilities is vital, and medical professionals are encouraged to be vigilant about washing hands between patients and ensuring all medical instruments are sanitized. Gloves should also be used when dealing with potentially infected fluids, and patient surfaces like examining tables should be sterilized frequently. B. The prevalence of MRSA is blamed largely on inappropriate drug use, and so patients are urged to exercise caution in taking antibiotics. 1. 2. The Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics published guidelines on their website in 1999 regarding the proper use of antibiotics. These recommendations urge patients to never ask their doctor for an antibiotic to treat a viral illness such as a cold or the flu. The medication will not be effective, and will only contribute to bacteria resistance. The APUA also says that patients who are prescribed antibiotics should make sure to finish all the pills they are given, unless directed otherwise by a doctor. Also, pills should never be given to someone other than the patient they are prescribed for, since this can also lead to bacteria resistance if the person taking the pill does not have a bacterial infection. Conclusion: Review Having learned first about what staph is and how it spreads, next how it is treated and finally, what we can do to protect ourselves, hopefully, we can take the precautions we need to save ourselves and our loved ones. Powerful Closing Due to the recent increase in staph infections, some people may feel uneasy about staying in a hospital or having an operation. While staph infections are a real risk, especially for anyone with an impaired immune system, it’s important to remember that the benefits of modern medicine still far outweigh the risks. Still, it is always a good idea to be vigilant about potential health problems. Hopefully, as awareness of staph increases, fewer people will suffer like Ashton Bonds. Bibliography Fouad, T.

Apple cider vinegar
Introduction
• The term “vinegar” comes from the Latin words for
“sour wine”.

• It has been in use for hundreds of years. It is nature’s
gift that has both nutritional and medical benefits.
• Any drink made from apple, grapes, dates, etc. can
naturally turn to vinegar when exposed to air because
it is converted by bacteria in it making it sour.

• Apple cider vinegar specifically has a strong history in
Africa and China because it was used as alternative
medicine.
• Although many people love consuming Apple cider
vinegar, there are myths and misconceptions regarding
its benefits.
• Some of them are overblown and are not medicallyproven to be effective.

• To understand the actual benefits and side-effects of
Apple cider vinegar it is important to examine it in
depth.

• According to an NCBI research article authored by
Ousaaid et al. (2020), a chemical examination of apple
cider vinegar showed that it has various bioactive
components which are important for health and wellbeing.
• Apple cider vinegar has in recent times received a lot of
publicity, especially from online recipe tutorials which
provide step-by-step descriptions of homemade
variants.
• Nonetheless, the most important thing is that people
acknowledge its health benefits. Hence, let’s examine
some basic facts and their health benefits.

• A small research conducted by Halima et al.
(2018) tracked weight loss in two cohorts of
participants for 12 weeks.
• Both cohorts consumed few calories and one
cohort drank 30 milliliters of apple cider vinegar
for one day.
• The research completed showed that the cohort
which consumed the vinegar lost more weight
and visceral fat- fat surrounding the abdomen
which increases the risk of heart conditions.

• Now that we understand the basic
components of apple cider vinegar, let us now
examine some of its medically-proven benefits
which include blood sugar regulation and
treatment of a condition called seborrheic
dermatitis.
• Apple cider vinegar helps regulate blood sugar
levels and this is of great importance to
persons at risk of contracting diabetes.

It regulates blood glucose
• The apple cider vinegar’s acetic acid blocks
enzymes which help one’s body's metabolism
• digest starchy foods like pasta, rice, and bread.
• Hence, consuming vinegar reduces the rate of
blood sugar spikes after consumption of
starchy meals.

Useful in treating yeast conditions
• Apple cider vinegar is useful in treating various yeast ailments.
• People often spray ACV and a water mixture to their scalp to reduce
the irritation and itchiness caused by dandruff.
• The acetic acid in vinegar alters the scalp’s PH and makes it difficult
for yeast which contributes to yeast thriving.
• Specifically, it is used to treat the scaly, itchy condition called
seborrheic dermatitis.

• According to a 2017 research published by Galen Medical Journal,
applying the flowering herb Althaea Officinalis with vinegar t...
