Human 'Poo in a pill' may help fight fatal infections

Studies show that transplanting faeces in liquid form from healthy people to patients with stubborn Clostridium difficile infections can stop the wrenching intestinal symptoms by restoring healthy gut bacteria. Clostridium Difficile infections are dangerous gastric bacterial infections that has defied antibiotics and kills about 14,000 Americans each year.

The faecal transplant involves delivery of a faecal solution via the rectum or a tube inserted through the nose. However, the 'poo pill' has basically simplified the unpleasant transplant method. Faeces from healthy donors are stored in the form of a capsule and kept frozen.

How To Choose The Best Skirt Style For Your Body Type

1. If you’re an Apple (slim lower body, carry weight around your middle) you look fantastic in high-waist flouncy skirts.

Why?
The waistband will hit at the smallest part of the torso and flare out over the stomach, hiding the mid-section. The short hemline will show off slender legs.



Apple-shaped women gravitate to pleated skirts so as to create structure to camouflage the stomach.

2. If you’re a Banana (waist, hip, and shoulders are all about the same width), you look fantastic in form-fitting mini skirts.

Why?
​A form-fitting skirt will emphasize any curves you do have, and the short hemline will show off your slim legs.


A patterned mini skirt is your best bet. The print will draw attention to your bottom-half, creating the illusion of curves.

3. If you’re an Hourglass (curvy, with a well-defined waist) you look fantastic in pencil skirts.

Why?
A pencil skirt accentuates your curves, smoothing out your thighs.


The fitted high-waist on this pencil skirt will draw attention to your tiny waist.
4. If you’re a Pear (hips are the widest part of your body) you look fantastic in A-line skirts.

Why?
An A-line skirt highlights the smallest part of your waist, and flares out over hips, minimizing the width of your bottom half.
