SEPTICEMIA

 WHAT IS SEPTICEMIA? Septicemia, or sepsis, is the clinical name for blood poisoning by bacteria. It is the body's most extreme response to an infection. Sepsis that progresses to septic shock has a death rate as high as 50%, depending on the type of organism involved. Sepsis is a medical emergency and needs urgent medical treatment. Without treatment, sepsis can quickly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death . Septicemia is an infection that occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and spread. It can lead to sepsis, the body’s reaction to the infection, which can cause organ damage and even death. Septicemia is more common in people who are hospitalized or have other medical conditions. It requires immediate medical attention and antibiotic treatment. Septicemia, sometimes called blood poisoning, is an infection that occurs when germs get into the bloodstream and spread. The germs are usually bacteria but also can be viruses or fungi. WHAT CAUSES SEPSIS? These infection

BIOMIMETICS

 WHAT IS BIOMIMETICS? Biomimetics is an interdisciplinary field in which principles from engineering, chemistry and biology are applied to the synthesis of materials, synthetic systems or machines that have functions that mimic biological processes. Biomaterials are any natural or synthetic material that interacts with any part of a biological system. Biomimetic designs could be used in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and drug delivery. COMMON EXAMPLES IN BIOMIMETICS The Pyramids, skyscrapers, supersonic flight - despite the incredible ingenuity and engineering ability humans have demonstrated over the past millennia, we are continually looking for new inspiration and ways to improve our designs. Given  evolution  has the benefit of millions of years of trial and error to perfect its designs in nature, it is logical that human construction can benefit in drawing from its influence. This approach to human innovation, via emulating nature, is called biomimetic design and has in
