SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA

In describing the health status of any population, useful data (in terms of health-related issues) from members of the community are crucial to determining the disease agent, mode of transmission, key symptoms/syndrome, type of disease, control and the establishment and evaluation of interventional measures. Epidemiologist work with data and, epidemiological studies are exclusively based on […]

HOW TO CREATE YOUR EUROPASS CV AND EUROPASS COVER LETTER FOR EU APPLICATIONS (JOBS, RESEARCH, EDUCATION)

DrChika

When applying for a scholarship for further studies abroad (in this case the European Union countries) or for a postdoctoral position or a doctoral position, it is important that you use the required CV format to do so. EUROPASS CV is Europe´s best known CV (curriculum vitae) format for applications within the EU (European Union).

USES OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA

DrChika

Epidemiological data has immense benefit to the health of any people as well as their standard of living as it relates to their health. Results from epidemiological studies are used for health planning and the development of tangible public health set of rules that help a particular population to evade and contain infectious disease-causing microorganisms

DIFFERENTIAL COUNT FOR CSF

DrChika

AIM: To provide information on the different white blood cells (neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes) present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen. MATERIAL/APPARATUS: CSF specimen, methylene blue stain, microscope, glass slide, water, Bunsen burner, inoculating loop, immersion oil. METHOD/PROCEDURE FOR DIFFERENTIAL COUNT OF CSF SAMPLE REPORTING OF THE RESULT: Report the number of the different

HAEMOCYTOMETER CELL COUNT FOR CSF SAMPLE

DrChika

Cells of mammalian or prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells can be counted in the lab from samples using different kinds of counting chmabers. The neubauer counting chamber is one major type of counting chamber generally used for counting cells, manually in the microbiology laboratory. Improved neubauer counting chamber is a manual chamber or haemocytometer that allows

TYPES OF METABOLISM

DrChika

Metabolic reactions help to maintain a state of balance or equilibrium in the cell. And the energy released during these processes is used by the cell for growth and other cellular activities. The growth of microorganisms requires the polymerization of building blocks (e.g. amino acids and nucleotides) into proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. These

METABOLISM

DrChika

Metabolismis simply defined as the summation of the chemical reactions that occurs in the cell at each point in time. It is the processes of catabolism (i.e. breaking down of molecules) and anabolism (i.e. the building up of newer molecules) that occur in the cell. Metabolism is critical for the management of an organism’s energy

PROBIOTICS

DrChika

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the term “probiotics” refers to live microorganisms (especially bacteria and fungi) that when administered in adequate amounts confer health benefits to the host taking it. The intestinal microbiota is important for the maintenance of good health in

CELL IMMOBILIZATION

DrChika

Cell immobilizationis the process of fixing the cells of living organisms including plants, animals, enzymes and microbial cells in a suitable matrix capable of holding them in place. The term “immobilization” is generally used to describe the technique of attaching cells to surfaces either by entrapment or by particle attachment. And the cell immobilization

INNATE IMMUNITY

DrChika

Innate immunity is the body’s natural inborn resistance to infection and it is quick in responding to invasive microbes. It is a component of the immune system that is an inherited protective mechanism, and which protect the body of an animals from many kinds of pathogens. Innate immunity is a nonspecific immune response to antigens,
