Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Medicine - Diagnostics, ( Atlantic International University ) (Science and Engineering), course: Health science, language: English, abstract: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) by Westergreen and Ziehl- Neelsen staining techniques were performed on 128 samples collected between January 2010 to November 2011 in the city of Porto Novo ,Cape Verde among whom 73(57%) were males and 55(43%) were females. 8(6.25%) were positive for tuberculosis with elevated ESR in all the eight samples. In all the samples, 77.3% showed elevated ESR without evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis and elevated ESR were influenced by age. In conclusion, ESR could serve as an important prognostic index but not a diagnostic index unless used in conjunction with other specific tests such as cultural techniques, nucleic acid probes and nucleic acid amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ESR left alone cannot serve as an important diagnostic index for tuberculosis since elevated results were recorded even in the absence of disease.KEYWORDS: Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate, Diagnostic index, pulmonary, Tuberculosis.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Health - Public Health, , language: English, abstract: In most countries, there are likely to be some laboratories with limited resources, but in economic distressed countries, there are few laboratories with highly trained technologists and sophisticated equipment. In these countries therefore, i t is not unusual for laboratory tests to be carried out by nurses and ordelies in outpatient consulting rooms, corridors and in rural health centres.Understaffing,poor morale, inadequate equipment and erratic supplies of reagents are chronic problems in laboratories in poorer countries and these factors have a major impact on the range and quality of services that can be offered. Many smaller laboratories are multifunctional, performing Haematology, Parasitology, Clinical chemistry and Bacteriology tests. A blood transfusion service is usually available at the larger institutions and unless there is a national blood service, laboratory staff will be responsible for donor selection, blood collection and issuing of blood. If there is no organisation of public health laboratories, routine laboratories will be required to provide high quality health surveillance data for epidemiological and public health monitoring.In a number of economically distressed countries, the difficulties are compounded by the fact that health services are becoming overwhelmed by expanding epidemics of HIV/AIDS(Human immunodeficiency vírus/Acquired immune deficiency syndrome), tuberculosis and malária. Diagnosis and monitoring of these diseases require a healthy,robust and reliable laboratory service. Thus malária diagnosis must be confirmed by a laboratory test because other disorders can masquerade clinically as malária. The diagnosis of tuberculosis may require boné marrow aspiration and culture and trephine biospy examination, especially in patients who are also HIV positive because in these cases sputum tests for acid fast organisms are frequently negative. Monitoring of HIV progression to AIDS and effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy requires Haemoglobin estimation, CD4-poistive lymphocyte counts and plasma viral load estimation.The main purpose of this topic-(Haematology practice in distressed economy) is to point towards an effective haematology service that can be provided despite serious limitations.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Project Report from the year 2012 in the subject Biology - Parasitology, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract: BACKGROUND: Intestinal parasitic diseases are among the most common diseases globally and for this reason, it is very important to study its occurrence and its degree of risk in contamination. No previous record is available in the municipality of Porto Novo, hence the necessity of this study.AIMS: To obtain the occurrence of common intestinal parasites among the inhabitants of Porto Novo municipality.Stool testing performed on 391 subjects between March to June, 2011 age ranging from 11 months to 82 years old, 141 (36.06%) were infected with one or more of the intestinal parasites. Among protozoa, Entamoeba coli (22.51%), Entamoeba Histolytica/Dispar (7.67%) and Giardia Lamblia (5.90%) were the most isolated intestinal parasites and among the helminths, Hymenolepis nana (2.30%), Ancylostoma Duodenale (1.28%) and Trichuris Trichuria (0.51%) were isolated. Age distribution did not show a definite pattern of infectivity rather females (24.60%) were mainly infected than males (11.50%). Hence, concluded that intestinal parasites pose a serious public health problem in the municipality of Porto Novo and that its degree of contamination is still high, therefore, treatment measures, National deworming programs at schools and sanitary improvement strategies is advocated for the population of the municipality to reduce and or eradicate this sporadic problem.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Project Report from the year 2010 in the subject Health - Public Health, , course: Blood Transfusion, language: English, abstract: A total of 27 blood specimen of neonates born at the maternity section of central Hospital Porto Novo by the Rhesus Negative mothers were studied for a period of 12 months. The specimen collection were done within 72 hours of birth, mothers pregnant for the first time without a past history of abortion or transfusion were rejected for the study. Ten (10) blood specimens of the neonates were Rhesus blood group negative and were eliminated from the work whereas the remaining seventeen (17) were recorded Rhesus blood group positive. The results of the 17 specimen of neonates all recorded in mean values showed Hb 17. 23g/dl, Hct 51.56L/L, the mean cell volume was 102.18 FL, mean cell hemoglobin concentration was 33.41% and mean cell hemoglobin recorded 34.12 pg. The red cell count and white cell count were 5.04 × 10 12/L and 16.06 ×10 9/L respectively. The platelet count was 316.53 and red cell distribution width of 17.76% was recorded. The differential leucocytes counts were; Neutrophils 65.35%, Lymphocytes 25.71% and MXD (comprises of monocytes, eosinophils and basophils) recorded 13.48%. The mean results of Bilirubin direct and Bilirubin total were 0.76mg/dl and 4.29mg/dl. The Direct Coombs test (DCT) was positive in one specimen of neonates and this specimen showed Hb value of 13.6g/dl and a total Bilirubin of 27.5mg/dl. All the neonates were of full term with birth weight of 2.5 to 3.5 kg. This work serves as an epidemiological vigilance for haemolytic diseases of the newborn in the Porto Novo province. The incidence of hemolytic Disease of newborn in Porto Novo district was recorded to be 5.8% considering from this work where only a case gave positive Direct Coombs. Although, this work suffers from scarcity of pregnant mothers of Rhesus blood group negative and affects the research because the specimen collected were small for the time period of the work. The Porto Novo experience also showed that good control system is at work by the medical team and technical staff concerned with the testing of all prospective mothers. Another positive aspect is that anti-D is freely and timely available for mothers of D- positive infants and with persistent effort in this regard, the incidence should continue very low or until there is no more case of hemolytic disease of the newborn.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Medicine - Diagnostics, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract: Platelet counts and its associated indices of MPV, PDW and P-LCR were assayed in a total sample of 98 blood donors aged 19 to 55years here in Porto Novo. Among whom 47 were men(47.96%) and 51 were women (52.04%). The mean platelets count of 218.90 × 109/L were recorded among men samples while Platelet count of 247.8 × 109/L were recordedamong women blood donors. The platelet count were slightly higher in women than men and this increase is not statistically significant (P=0.01). The indices of platelets, MPV, PDW and P-LCR were also variable among both men and women, again these are notstatistically significant (P=0.01).Conclusion: The present study showed that platelet count are gender dependent and platelet indices should be paid attention to when diagnosing thrombocytopenia. The routine hematologic autoanalyzers should incorporate reticulated platelet absolutely necessary for the accurate assessment of marrow response to thrombocytopenia.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Health - Public Health, ( Atlantic International University ), language: English, abstract: A total of 750 blood samples were collected into the dipotassium - ethylene diaminetetra - aceticacid (EDTA) tubes and BD vacutainer tubes from the population of Porto Novo at random rangingfrom 2 years to 70 years of age. The ABO blood group systems were tested on the samples by theforward and reverse technique of blood grouping by tube method.A total of 320 individuals were shown to be blood group O (43%), the blood group A were shownto be 226 individuals (30%), blood group B were 167 people (22%) and blood AB finally were 37people making up to 5% of the population tested. This work follows almost the same discoverymade by other researchers of ABO grouping system and did not show a significant differencesamong the groups except in that reported on Brazilian Indians in Mato Grosso which registered100% blood group O among Indians of Mato Grosso by Bier at al(1982).The work serves as a fundamental screening on the distribution of ABO blood group system inPorto Novo and did not indicate whether there exists a difference of ABO blood group systemdistribution among other islands of Cape Verde and also a reference point for those engaged inclinical blood use like the red cross organisation and paramedical units who at times give blood onemergency basis.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Scientific Study from the year 2013 in the subject Medicine - Public Health, Atlantic International University, course: Health Science, language: English, abstract: A hundred and twenty-seven (127) pregnant women performed high vaginal swab (HVS) tests between the months of May to July, 2013, the age range of the pregnant women studied were from 13 to 45 years old. The specimen were studied for candida species and trichomonas vaginalis infections using wet mount or direct examination sometimes using10% Potassium hydroxide (KOH) , and gram stain techniques were applied to all the samples. They results of 21.26 % was obtained for candida species, while 6.3% was infected with trichomonas vaginalis. The study observed that the infection rate of candida species among the pregnant women was statistically significant to that of trichomonas vaginalis, considering P 0.05. The co-infection rate (the infection of candida species and trichomonas vaginalis together) of the study was 0.79%. The primigravidae recorded 59 (46.46%) and multigravidae recorded 68 (53.54%), the infection of candida species of 28.8% was observed among primigravidae, while trichomonas vaginalis was 10.17%, also among primigravidae, the multigravidae registered 14.71% of candida species infection and trichomonas vaginalis was 2.94%. Therefore, the primigravidae were more infected with candida species and trichomonas vaginalis than multigravidae. The age groups of 13 to 25 years of the pregnant women were mostly infected by candida species (25.93%) and trichomonas vaginalis infection was 7.41%. The pregnant mothers at third trimester (27 to 40 weeks) were mostly attacked, making a prevalence rate of 23.81% of candida species, while trichomonas vaginalis was 9.52%. The conclusion was that contributing factors such as douching should be avoided; indiscriminate use of antibiotics without medical supervision, and education of the pregnant women using various.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medizin - Anatomie, Physiologie, Cytologie, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The results of 90 apparently healthy women between the age of 17 to 39 years old on oral contraceptives for not less than six months tested for hematological parameters for the month of July, 2011and comparing the results obtained with the local reference values showed that ;Rbc: 4.40 × 109/L, Hb:12.38g/dl, Ht: 38.1L/L, MCV:86.94FL, MCH:28.8pg, MCHC:31.50 %, RDW-CV: 12.98, Total WBC:7.40× 109/L, Platelet 272× 109/L all values in mean were recorded. It was observed that 1.1% were thrombocytopenic and anemic, whereas 3.3% were of the mild leucocytosis. Nevertheless, the results were not clinical and statistical significant. Finally the study concluded that no significant effects were observed on hematological parameters due to oral contraceptive use and the women of Porto Novo should continue to use oral contraceptives correctly to prevent unwanted and or unnecessary pregnancies with the instruction of a Nursing officer in charge of the reproductive section.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Health - Public Health, Reitoria da Universidade de Cabo Verde , language: Portugues, abstract: Detectar a presença de hiperglicemia em jejum, é uma forma de avaliar ou prever a diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e avaliar os factores de risco. Embora o controle da hiperglicemia em jejum seja necessário, ele normalmente é insuficiente para se obter um controle glicemico óptimo. Nos últimos anos acumularam-se evidências apontando a hiperglicemia como factor de risco para complicações micro e macro vasculares na diabetes mellitus (DM). Nos países em desenvolvimento, a maioria das pessoas com diabetes está situada na faixa dos 45 aos 65 anos de idade, em contraste a maioria das pessoas com diabetes nos países desenvolvidos são maiores de 64 anos de idade. A prevalência da diabetes para todas as idades em todo o mundo foi estimada em 2,8% em 2000 e 4,4% em 2030. As doenças não transmissíveis surgem como uma ameaça crescente à melhoria da saúde da população cabo-verdiana. A prevalência dos factores de risco, como a diabetes entre outros, é elevada para ambos os sexos e afecta também as camadas mais jovens entre os 25 e 44 anos. Cabo verde possui um baixo consumo de hortofrutícolas excluindo (batatas e outros tubérculos) abaixo do mínimo recomendado de 400g diárias, para a prevenção de doenças como a diabetes, caracterizada por hiperglicemia. O objectivo deste estudo é dar a conhecer os dados relativos à hiperglicemia ocorrida no concelho do Porto Novo entre os meses de Janeiro e Março de 2010; analisar a ocorrência de hiperglicemia no concelho do Porto Novo - Santo Antão; e contribuir para estudos epidemiológicos relativo a diabetes mellitus a nível nacional. Foram analisados um total de 458 amostras (162 do sexo masculino e 296 do sexo feminino em que 58 destas eram grávidas) de glucose sanguínea em jejum normal, a partir do soro, colectadas entre 4 de Janeiro e 4 de Março de 2010 no Laboratório de Análises Clínicas da Delegacia de Saúde do Porto Novo.…
