Retinoblastoma (RB) is a rare and unique cancer that affects the eyes of very young children. There are few reports on RB in Sudan.We performed retrospective study data from patients diagnosed with retinoblastoma between January 1999 December 2009 at National Cancer Institute Gezira (NCI-Gezira).Of 519 cases childhood treated NCI-Gezira during period, 25 (4.8%) were retinoblastoma. Of these retinoblastoma, there 13 boys 19 unilateral. The median age diagnosis was 36 months (range, 8-60...
A nested case-control hospital study and a midwife-based community cohort were conducted in Central Sudan during 1989 1990 to assess the contribution of mesoendemic malaria low birth weight. Malarial infection was determined by maternal history, parasitology, histopathology. There significant associations between history weight (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-2.1) (OR 1.7, CI 1.3-2.3). Attributable risk percentages high comparable (22.2%) (24.5%). trend...
Objectives Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are promoted for the diagnosis of malaria in many countries. The question arises whether laboratories where current method is microscopy should also switch to RDT. This problem was studied Kassala, Sudan issue switching RDT under discussion. Methods Two hundred and three blood samples were collected from febrile patients suspected having malaria. These subsequently analysed with microscopy, (SD Bioline P.f/P.v) PCR detection identification Plasmodium...
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy accounting for 25% of all cancers in females. In Africa, breast prevalence and mortality are steadily increasing.

In 2004, Sudan adopted artesunate + sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (SP) combination as the first-line drug, in response to high level of falciparum resistance antimalarials. 2007, a molecular study on antimalarial linked genes, pfcrt , pfmdr1 pfdhfr pfdhps and pfATPase6 was conducted 198 isolates from central eastern Sudan. We observed frequency point mutations at almost all loci analyzed, mainly 76T (72.7%), 51I (75.3%), 108N (72.7%) alleles. The MARK III vitro test for chloroquine sensitivity...
