IDIOT

Id, ego, and super-ego are the three parts of the "psychic apparatus" defined in Freud's so-called structural model of the psyche, they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described.

According to this model, the uncoordinated instinctual trends are the "id"; the organised realistic part of the psyche is the "ego," and the critical and moralizing function the "super-ego."

The id is responsible for our basic drives such as food, sex (Libido), and aggressive impulses (Thanatos). It is amoral and egocentric, ruled by the pleasure–pain principle. it is without a sense of time, completely illogical, primarily sexual, infantile in its emotional development, and will not take "no" for an answer. and it has only one rule --> “I want it and I want it all now”.

In transactional analysis, Id equates to "Child".

Id too strong = bound up in self-gratification and uncaring to others

Ego too strong = extremely rational and efficient, but cold, boring and distant

The Superego becomes an embodiment of parental and societal values. It stores and enforces rules. It constantly strives for perfection, even though this perfection ideal may be quite far from reality or possibility. Its power to enforce rules comes from its ability to create anxiety.

The Superego has two subsystems, the Ego Ideal and Conscience.

The Ego Ideal provides rules for good behaviour, and standards of excellence towards which the Ego must strive. The Ego ideal is basically what the child’s parents approve of or value.

The Conscience is the rules about what constitutes bad behaviour. The Conscience is basically all those things that the child feels mum or dad will disapprove of or punish.

Superego too strong = feels guilty all the time, may even have an insufferably saintly personality

Tetracyclines have the broadest spectrum of antimicrobial activity, effective against a remarkably wide variety of organisms.

Tetracyclines inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by blocking the attachment of the transfer RNA-amino acid to the ribosome. More precisely they are inhibitors of the codon-anticodon interaction. Tetracyclines can also inhibit protein synthesis in the host, but are less likely to reach the concentration required because eukaryotic cells do not have a tetracycline uptake mechanism.

Tetracycline can have toxic effects on development of bone. Therefore, tetracyclines are generally not recommended during pregnancy or nursing. Tetracyclines may cause discoloration of teeth if used in children less than 8 years of age.

The quinolones are a family of broad-spectrum antibiotics and a bactericidal drugs, actively killing bacteria.

Fluoroquinolones interfere with bacterial DNA metabolism by the inhibition of two enzymes, Topoisomerase II and Topoisomerase IV. In Gram-negative organisms DNA gyrase is the primary target, whereas in Gram-positive bacteria Topoisomerase IV was recently found to be most affected.

Resistance to quinolones can evolve rapidly, even during a course of treatment. An important precaution is that unnecessary use or abuse of antibiotics can encourage drug-resistant strains of bacteria to develop and proliferate. These drug-resistant strains then become difficult, or even impossible, to treat. Bacteria found in hospitals appear to have become especially resilient, and are causing increasing difficulty for patients and the doctors treating them.

Aminoglycosides that are derived from bacteria of the Streptomyces genus are named with the suffix -mycin, while those which are derived from Micromonospora are named with the suffix -micin.

Aminoglycosides are used for serious gram-negative infections, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They are active against most gram-negative aerobic bacilli but lack activity against anaerobes and most gram-positive bacteria, except for most staphylococci. It Inhibit protein synthesis by binding to a portion of the bacterial ribosome. Most of them are bacteriocidal.

They are not absorbed from the intestine, they are usually given by injection. Aminoglycosides are quite toxic, with side effects including damage to the ears and kidneys. For this reason they are only used for infections that do not respond to other antibiotics.
