Analysis of water samples for Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts is a specialised and demanding pursuit. Understanding and evaluating data resulting from such analyses is equally specialised and complicated by the most common result—not finding any of the target organisms.…
A detailed investigation was conducted into the application of an isothermal nucleic acid amplification procedure, LAMP, in conjunction with components of conventional procedure to determine ability to simplify water processing for monitoring Cryptosporidium and Giardia in surfac…
Abstract: It might be difficult to diagnose acute pulmonary embolism (APE) in a timely manner since it is a potentially lethal illness. The preferred modality is now computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), which adds to the growing strain on CT scanners in emergency roo…
Viral hepatitis is a global health care challenge due to its worldwide distribution, chronic persistence, complications, and high prevalence with unchecked conditions in areas like sub-Saharan Africa. A high proportion of asymptomatic infections allows serious complications and p…
background
Hepatitis B and C virus infections are serious blood borne diseases with global health concern particularly in developing countries. The association between survey participant’s knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) about HBV and HCV infection is rarely studied, pa…
Background
Viral hepatitis has become a universally established health care challenge due to its worldwide distribution chronic persistence, complications, and high prevalence with unchecked conditions in areas like sub-Saharan Africa. A high proportion of asymptomatic infection…
Atherosclerotic plaque is one of the arterial diseases which builds up in the arterial wall and can be identified by the composition of the plaque. Atherosclerosis causes the narrowing or occlusions of the arterial lumen leading to cardiovascular event. Percutaneous (keyhole) end…
Background
Giardia and Cryptosporidium are common parasitic diarrhea agents of children contributing to childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Major risk factors, based on the international literature, are expected to include domestic animals, fresh vegetable…
Many building projects performed poorly because they took longer than expected to complete; time management is, therefore, crucial for achieving the program objectives. This study examines time management in the Libyan construction sector from the perspective of the contractors.…
Due to the scarce energy supplies of the internet of things (IoT) devices, it is necessary to design the architecture and operation of the network to optimize the power usage. Scheduling algorithm is an essential part of WSNs and IoT networks. Such algorithms allow to classify th…
A rapid and inexpensive method is described for accurate and reproducible counting and manipulating small numbers of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts. From a suspension of oocysts or cysts at concentration from 1000 to 5000/mL (1–5/μL), replicate 5 μL droplets are micro…
