Typical diameters are T12 or T38 ( 11â2 in or 38 mm) for residential lamps with magnetic ballasts, T8 or T26 (1 in or 25 mm) for commercial energy-saving lamps with electronic ballasts, and T5 or T16 ( 5â8 in or 16 mm) for very small lamps, which may even operate from a battery-powered device.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria. These germs can enter your body and live in your digestive tract. After many years, they can cause sores, called ulcers, in the lining of your stomach or the upper part of your small intestine. For some people, an infection can lead to stomach cancer. Infection with H. pylori is common. About two-thirds of the worldâs population has it in their bodies.
Eating bland foods such as bananas, rice, apple sauce and dry toast is sometimes easier, and these are easily digested and less likely to irritate the sensitive gastrointestinal system. There are many causes of stomach flu (gastroenteritis), including bacteria such as E coli, Shigella and Salmonella. Viruses can also cause stomach flu and are responsible for 30% to 40% of gastroenteritis cases in children. Common stomach flu viruses include norovirus or Norwalk virus, adenovirus, rotavirus, calicivirus and astrovirus. Stomach viruses are notorious for spreading rapidly because of poor hand washing. While not as common, parasites such as giardia and cryptosporidium can cause severe diarrhoea and dehydration.
