medical illustration of Sialolithiasis (salivary gland stone) is the most common disease of the salivary glands. It can occur at any age and most commonly occurs in the salivary gland that are located under your jaw, called submandibular glands. Salivary gland stones occur when calcium deposits in the duct of the gland, blocking the flow of saliva, causing pain and discomfort associated with eating.
Next medical illustration of Bacteria-infecting viruses, or bacteriophages look like they were created for a sci-fi movie, but they really are naturally occurring viruses that selectively target and kill specific bacterial strains and are harmless to humans, animals, and plants. There are more bacteriophages on the planet that any other organism, including bacteria. Scientists are researching ways to use phages in biomedicine to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial infections.
