Intestinal Parasitic Infections and Associated Risk Factors Among Sudanese Psychiatric Patients.

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are considered to be a major health problem, particularly in the tropical countries, such as Sudan. Due to poor hygiene practices, the psychiatric patients may pick up parasitic infections. Until now, there exists no published data or available information regarding the prevalence rate of intestinal parasitic infections among Sudanese psychiatric patients.

Unraveling Key Chloroquine Resistance-Associated Alleles Among Isolates in South Darfur State, Sudan Twelve Years After Drug Withdrawal.

Background: Due to the increasing resistance of to chloroquine (CQ) in Sudan, a shift from CQ to artesunate combined with sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated falciparum malaria was adopted in 2004. This study aimed to determine the frequency distribution of K76T and N86Y mutations in chloroquine resistance transporter () and multidrug resistance 1 () genes as key markers of resistance to CQ among isolates from patients in Nyala district of South Darfur state, west of Sudan.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 75 P.

Infection and ABO Blood Group Association Among Pregnant Sudanese Women: A Case Study.

Purpose: ABO blood group glycol-conjugate expression may influence human susceptibility to infection caused by . This study aimed to assess the relationship between blood group phenotypes as risk factors for toxoplasmosis and to correlate the prevalence of the disease with other risk factors.

Materials And Methods: A total of two-hundred serum samples were collected from pregnant women referred for routine rotary examination in Rabak Teaching Hospital, White Nile State, Sudan, and examined for the parasite using the latex agglutination test.

Seroprevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies and associated risk factors in pregnant women in Somalia.

Toxoplasma gondii infection is a worldwide protozoan parasitic disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. T. gondii infection in gestation period can lead to fetal or neonatal death, and besides congenital defects.

Hematological Findings among COVID-19 Patients Attending King Khalid Hospital at Najran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

COVID-19 is a global pandemic viral infection that has affected millions worldwide. Limited data is available on the effect of COVID-19 on hematological parameters in Saudi Arabia. This study is aimed at examining the role of hematological parameters among COVID-19 patients admitted to King Khalid Hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia.

Malaria infection and associated risk factors in pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics in Al Jabalian Locality, White Nile state, Sudan.

Pregnant women are more susceptible to malaria which is associated with adverse effects on pregnancy. It is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Sudan. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence rate of malaria in pregnant women.

Artificial Neural Network as a Tool for Appraising Hematological Parameters in Sudanese Patients with Malaria.

Background: The purpose of this paper was to quantitatively assess and explore the effect of malaria infection in the hematological parameters of Sudanese population.

Methods: All data were obtained from malaria infected and non-infected Sudanese patients attending to Kosti Teaching Hospital. The effect of malaria on the hematological parameters was depicted.

Hematological indices and abnormalities among patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Kosti city of the White Nile state, Sudan: a comparative study.

Background: Hematological abnormalities are common features in falciparum malaria but vary among different populations across countries. Therefore, we compared hematological indices and abnormalities between Plasmodium falciparum-infected patients and malaria-negative subjects in Kosti city of the White Nile State, Sudan.

Methods: A comparative, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Clinical Laboratory Unit of Kosti Teaching Hospital from June to December 2018.

The Oral Parasitic Microbiome in Hepatitis B Virus Infected Sudanese Patients with Gum Disease.

Background: We aimed to evaluate a potential link between colonization of gingival crevices by the as oral parasite microbiome and Hepatitis B infection among gum disease Sudanese patients.

Methods: This study was conducted on 448 gum disease patients attending to Dental Clinic of Kosti Teaching Hospital, Kosti, Sudan in 2017-2018. Oral symptoms were registered in 336 patients at different stages of the HBV infection and in 112 HBV seronegative gum disease control.

Cryptosporidium infection among hemodialysis patients attending to the dialysis center at Kosti Teaching Hospital, Sudan.

Cryptosporidiosis is an illness caused by a protozooan parasite Cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium species are an opportunistic pathogens cause a diarrheal disease worldwide, and can be more severe in immunocompromized patients. Until now, a little data have been available on its prevalence rate among haemodialysis patients in Sudan.

Assessment of cardiac biomarkers (troponin, B-type natriuretic peptide, and D-dimer) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and stroke.

Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia treated in clinical practice and the association of this arrhythmia with stroke has long been recognized. The combination of associated factors to identify stroke risk is still unclear; therefore, we aimed to determine the association between additional risk factors for non-valvular AF (NVAF) and the first onset stroke patients and investigate the predictive ability of additional risks factors such as cardiac biomarkers and AF status for odds of incident stroke.

Materials And Methods: We included 455 patients who suffered from NVAF divided into two distinct groups (case-control observational study).

Antibody Affinity, Total Antibody Activity, and Protein Content to Anti-HBs Antigen Among Sudanese and Chinese Using Terminal Antibody Method.

Background: Generally, HBV infection serum markers have been globally measured, and the analysis of entire an-tibody details include the affinity, total protein content and antibody activity are rarely measured between two different ethnic groups. We detected and determined the entire characteristics of anti-HBs (antibody to HBs anti-gen) among Sudanese and Chinese HBV resolved patient's using a terminal antibody (TA) method.

Method: Serum samples of Sudanese and Chinese resolved HBV infection positive anti-HBs were collected.
