Hypertension and diabetes mellitus, two of the leading risk factors for atherosclerosis, are associated with numerous complications, including heart attacks strokes.This study established prevalence determinants isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in mellitus patients visiting Tamale Teaching Hospital.In this purposive cross-sectional study, 107 were recruited from out-patient clinic Hospital (TTH). Blood urine samples collected estimation fasting blood glucose (FBG) routine urinalysis...
Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with endothelial injury and hemostatic abnormalities. However, the diagnostic role of coagulation parameters natural anticoagulants in predicting PE has not been explored Ghana. This study assessed plasma levels these factors as surrogate markers its subtypes. case–control included 90 women (cases) normotensive pregnant (controls). Blood samples were drawn for estimation complete blood count tests. The prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin...
Tuberculosis constitutes a global emergency as it affects one-third of the world's inhabitants. Although Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is curable, immunological responses to infection induce several hematological derangements. This study evaluated effect PTB on natural anticoagulant activity and CBC indices. Ninety adults were recruited: 60 patients 30 non-TB controls. Blood specimens from each participant was tested for Proteins C S, Antithrombin-III CBC. TB associated with significantly...
Background: Different seasons present varied environmental factors that influence the occurrence of transfusion-driven diseases. Therefore, this study determined patterns blood transfusion among hospitalized patients and effect season on ABO/Rh phenotypes. Methods: A single-center retrospective cross-sectional was conducted 5089 were transfused with at Sunyani Municipal Hospital. Archived records retrieved analyzed using GraphPad Prism, SPSS. The association, size, yearly trends determined....
Introduction: The burden of hernia is disproportionately high in low-to-middle-income countries, due to the lack fundamental resources needed effectively diagnose and manage cases. patterns hernia, haematological profile, predictive ability blood cell indices were all investigated this study. Methods: Fifty-four subjects: 27 patients healthy controls included single-centre, unmatched case-control Hernia was diagnosed using physical examination ultrasound scan. Haematological each subject...
Abstract Background. Tuberculosis (TB) constitutes a global emergency as it affects one-third of the world’s inhabitants. Although pulmonary (PTB) is curable, immunological responses to infection induce several haematological derangements. This study evaluated effect PTB on Protein C, S, Antithrombin-III, and blood count parameters. Methods. Ninety adults with ages ≥18 years were purposively recruited: 60 patients 30 non-TB controls. All diagnosed sputum GeneXpert MTB/Rif assay. Blood...
