The 2019 Coronavirus pandemic which was initially referred to as 2019-nCoV, was first identified in Wuhan, China. Early response from the Chinese government included quarantine of infected persons, isolation and total lockdown of Wuhan province to prevent further spread. With the spread of the disease across national borders and declaration of the disease as a global pandemic, there has been a robust response by the international community to contain this deadly virus and prevent its further spread worldwide. Africa is not left out of this rampaging pandemic with documented cases in over 40 countries and still rising. Although extensive studies have been carried out on the novel SARS-CoV-2 on its pathogenesis, mode of infection and virulence but much is still unknown. However, potentially infectious samples are received routinely in the medical laboratory for analysis. This technical note reviews good laboratory practice (GLP) and processes across the different specialities of Medical Laboratory practice that should minimize the risk of infection to laboratory staff especially in resource-limited settings.
Africa 6. It is called "Afema" in local Asante-Twi language in Ghana and 'Ighereje'in Urhobo language of Nigeria. It is an abundant perennial herb also referred to as yellow Justicia of the Acanthaceae family because of its distinct yellow flowers. It is an erect plant of about 450 mm high. Toxicity profile of plants provides necessary information to guide natural product's use. This study, therefore, examines the acute toxicological profile of the leaves of J. flava using mouse models. Materials and Methods Plant material The matured leaves of J. flava were collected from Ugonoba village,
AA compared favourably with amoxicillin in endometritis management, suggesting that AA can be used in the management of infection-induced endometritis, normal cycling and normal uterine function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
