This study was conducted as retrospective case study aimed to determine the frequency of HPV (16 and 18) and EBV among Sudanese with esophageal cancer using immunohistochemistry and PCR. The study included one hundred and two 102 paraffin blocks from patients previously diagnosed as esophageal cancer from Khartoum Sudan, in Ibn Sina hospital, khartoum hospital, soba teaching hospital, military hospital and national health laboratory.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies amongst diabetics in Enugu. This is important as it has been indicated that presence of HCV in diabetics could lead to insulin resistance and thus increases diabetic complications. A total of 138 diabetics were recruited for this study, with a population control of 102 apparently healthy subjects, within the same age. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on the demographic, comorbid ...

This is prospective study to measure CBD, CHD, GB and cystic duct by U/S and MRCP and to test the accuracy of each modality in diagnosing causes of biliary system obstruction. The study was done in Khartoum state hospitals (Ibn sena-Soba on february2018), 52 patients were tested by both U/S and MRCP. Using U/S 3.5MHz prom, TR (1500-200ms), TI (110-150ms), TE (240-300ms), FOV (300mm) and slice sickness 1mm, those examinations were performed using siemens (0.32T) permanent magnetom, Phil...
ABSTRACT Background: The rhesus (Rh) blood group system is one of the most polymorphic and immunogenic blood group systems known in humans. The common potent Rh antigens reside on the RH polypeptides. The antigenic expression is controlled by the RHD and RHCE genes, linked in tandem on chromosome 1. The D antigen is clinically the most important because of its high immunogenicity and polymorphism. HDFN is perpetuated by foeto-maternal rhesus antigens incompatibility. Aim: The aim of this stu...
ABSTRACT Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a well-known and commonly diagnosed urological condition in the aging male population, which affects over 50% of men in their 60s and increased to 90% by the age of 85 years. The condition is normally accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms that impacts negatively on the quality of life. Upon all the problems that BPH cause in the life of men, the exact aetiology is unknown. Several mechanism have been mentioned that contribute to the p...
ABSTRACT Background: Routine empiric antibiotic therapy is common in patients living with HIV/AIDS. Such routine antibiotic regimen could lead to selection of multidrug resistance especially ESBLs in hitherto drug sensitive intestinal colonizing flora. There is paucity of data to describe intestinal carriage of ESBL-producing enterobacteria in HIV/AIDS patients. Aim: This study was designed to examine HIV/AIDS patients for faecal carriage with extendedspectrum beta-lactamase producing enterob...
ABSTRACT Background; In most laboratories, Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) are treated as contaminants and therefore follow ups with regards to species detection and antimicrobial susceptibilities are not done. There is a growing incidence of antimicrobial resistant CoNS across the globe making infections difficult to treat. Data on these resistant pathogens are limited in Africa in general and Ghana in particular. It is therefore important to characterize CoNS with respect to their a...
ABSTRACT Perilipins are phosphoproteins that are found in fat cells where they are restricted at the uppermost layer of lipid droplets. Over-expression of perilipin proteins in fat cells cause the storage of triacylglyceride (TAG) to increase in connection with a reduction in fats and lipd breakdown that causes increases in weight and type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. There are two types of perilipin which have a common N-teminal amino acids sequence which are perilipin A (P...
