The impact of an informal settlement on surface water contamination in the Western Cape White Sands Resort, Mombasa, Kenya 6-8 November 2013 Maboza E*, Pool E and Africa CWJ Introduction:   The World Health Organisation has set guidelines for ensuring the quality of potable water by assessing the level of faecal contamination and its related toxicity.Faecal matter contains millions of bacteria, some of which are part of the normal microflora, (including Escherichia coli and other coliforms), while others are pathogenic and may be implicated in fatal infections such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery.   http://www.peertechz.com/Conference-Organizations-Scientific-Institutions.php   

Metronidazole- and clindamycin-resistance of Gardnerella vaginalis in pregnant women with a history of preterm delivery Sarena Hotel, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 23-27 September, 2013 Stemmet M and Africa CWJ* Background:   Gardnerella vaginalis   has been isolated from 95% of bacterial vaginosis (BV) cases and encompasses 90% of the polymicrobial BV biofilm.Treatment of BV involves either systemic or topical administration of metronidazole or clindamycin and is aimed at resolving the symptoms and ensuring that follow-up screening is negative.   http://www.peertechz.com/Conference-Organizations-Scientific-Institutions.php   

The association of asymptomatic vaginal infections with preterm delivery Waterfront, Cape Town, 27-29 November 2012 Nco S*, Stemmet M, Kaambo E and Africa CWJ Introduction:   Preterm delivery has been associated with asymptomatic maternal vaginal colonization of organisms such   Gardnerella ,   Chlamydia , Group B streptocococci (GBS).The aim of the study was to examine vaginal swabs for the presence of bacterial vaginosis (BV),   Chlamydia , and GBS and to establish whether a significant difference in prevalence could be observed between preterm (PT) and full term (FT) delivery.   http://www.peertechz.com/Conference-Organizations-Scientific-Institutions.php   

The association of bacterial vaginosis and   Gardnerella vaginalis   with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes May 10-14 2011, Philippine International Convention Centre, Manila, Philippines Stemmet MC* and Africa CWJ Introduction:   Pre-term delivery (PTD) accounts for approximately 70%-75% of perinatal and childhood morbidity and mortality. Numerous studies have demonstrated the association of Bacterial vaginosis (BV) with adverse pregnancy outcomes. BV has been identified as the most common vaginal condition in women of reproductive age and results from a shift from high concentrations of   Lactobacillus spp . in the vaginal flora to an overpopulation of Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria including   Gardnerella vaginalis .   http://www.peertechz.com/Conference-Organizations-Scientific-Institutions.php 

A comparison of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with culture for the detection of   Streptococcus agalactiae   in vaginal swabs from women with a history of preterm delivery May 10-14 2011, Philippine International Convention Centre, Manila, Philippines Kaambo E* and Africa CWJ Introduction:   Streptococcus agalactiae   (group B streptococci (GBS), emerged in the 1960s as a significant human pathogen that causes neonatal sepsis and meningitis. The presence of GBS in pregnant women is regarded to be the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in South Africa and the world. GBS is a bacterial pathogen frequently isolated from the genitourinary tracts of about 35% of healthy adult women. Women who are colonized with GBS might also develop pregnancy-associated infections including urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and postpartum endometritis.Early detection is imperative in order to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes.   http://www.peertechz.co...

Archives of Otolaryngology and Rhinology RESEARCH ARTICLE Risk Factors for Asthma Hospitalization among Adults and Elderly Joint effect of biological (pollen) and chemical air pollutants on asthma emergency room (ER) visits was analyzed for Szeged region of Southern Hungary. Our database of a nine-year period (1999-2007) includes daily number of asthma emergency room (ER) visits, and daily mean concentrations of CO, PM10, NO, NO2, O3 and SO2, furthermore two pollen variables (Ambrosia and total pollen excluding Ambrosia), as well. http://www.peertechz.com/Otolaryngology-Rhinology/AOR-1-103.php
