Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Cause To Treatment, Tavleen Aulakh
Occam's Razor
Imagine two individuals, both suffering from severe liver damage. With excess fat molecules concentrated in the hepatic cells, their livers are inflamed and scarred. These deteriorating livers are also supplementing the development of chronic obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hyperlipidemia. While one of these individuals is a middle-aged male with a long history of alcohol addiction and abuse, the other is only thirteen years old and has never consumed alcohol. This adolescent is suffering from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Occam's Razor
A consortium is a close physical association between microbial cells of different lineage (Liu et al. 2013). The phototrophic consortium is an aggregation of two different lineages of bacteria: one large motile bacterium surrounded by many smaller photosynthetic bacteria. They live in freshwater lakes around the world with varying degrees of morphological differences. Bacteria are historically accepted as a ubiquitous species, meaning that if the environment permits them to live there, they will. This hypothesis was first introduced by Beijerinck and Becking in the early 1900s to describe the distribution of microorganisms, with the official mantra being, “everything is everywhere, …
