Methods This cross-sectional involved 500 healthy adult blood donors from some selected hospitals Ghana enrolled June November 2016. Venous samples were obtained participants, 25(OH)D, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL 10 measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Serum...
Background. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the frequent chronic, systemic, inflammatory autoimmune disorders with an estimated global prevalence 1%. RA leads to joint destruction and disability if left untreated. Ghana has seen very few studies on RA, little known about disease’s severity related variables. This study sought characterize clinical presentation determine disease associated risk factors among patients in a tertiary hospital Ghana. Methods. cross-sectional was conducted...
Abstract Background: Asymptomatic malaria remains a diagnostic challenge and serves as reservoir forinfection transmission leads to in children. This study was therefore conducted assess the sociodemographic clinical determinants of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) infection among school children low season. Methods: In cross-sectional study, 328 ages 6-14 years were recruited study. status determined using three laboratory method: Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT), Microscopy Polymerase...
Morinda citrifolia L. is used as an alternative medicine in different parts of the world for treating various diseases including diabetes and heart diseases. As a functional food with short shelf life, processing into forms increases life while maintaining its biologically active metabolite reducing pathogens; therefore, technology like natural fermentation must be well managed. The effect prefermentation noni juice extract on total flavonoid content (TFC), phenolic (TPC), antioxidant...
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the analytical performance of ABO and Rh D rapid diagnostic test kits as a substitute for conventional tube method. Design/Methodology/Approach: 161 participants who visited Koforidua Technical University Clinic Laboratory were recruited from August September 2022. The used blood groups participants. concordance rate, kappa analysis Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) performed. Findings: strength agreement two methods in detecting type using Kappa...
