The incidence of Candida bloodstream infection has increased over the past years. In the Center-West region of Brazil, data on candidemia are scarce. This paper reports a retrospective analysis of 96 cases of Candida bloodstream infection at a Brazilian tertiary-care teaching hospital in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, from January 1998 to December 2006. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from medical records and from the hospital's laboratory database. Patients' ages ranged from three days to 92 years, with 53 (55.2%) adults and 43 (44.8%) children. Of the latter, 25 (58.1%) were newborns. The risk conditions most often found were: long period of hospitalization, utilization of venous central catheter, and previous use of antibiotics. Fifty-eight (60.4%) patients died during the hospitalization period and eight (13.7%) of them died 30 days after the diagnosis of candidemia. Candida albicans (45.8%) was the most prevalent species, followed by C. parapsilosis (34.4%), C. tropicalis (14.6%) and C. glabrata (5.2%). This is the first report of Candida bloodstream infection in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and it highlights the importance of considering the possibility of invasive Candida infection in patients exposed to risk factors, particularly among neonates and the elderly.

Polytechnic is a university that organizesvocational education in various science and technology clusters.The learning process in polytechnic is dominated by practicumthat is 70% and 30% theory. The amount of laboratorypercentage affects the large number of laboratory. Eachlaboratory has a laboratory responsible (technician) in charge ofrecording and monitoring the completeness and condition of thepracticum equipment. Tools and materials used in the process ofpracticum is an asset and laboratory inventory that must alwaysbe maintained and checked the condition of the equipment. InUjung Pandang State Polytechnic (PNUP) in terms of assetmonitoring and practicum inventory is still done manually.Therefore need to make an application to monitor assets andlaboratory inventory, especially on campus two. It is known thatsince 2014 there are three departments that have implementedthe teaching and learning process in two campuses includingseveral laboratories have also been transferred to the twocampuses, such as electrical engineering majors, majoring inbusiness administration and accounting majors. So with thisapplication will greatly help technicians because no longer do thereporting or request tool manually and with this application inmonitoring the condition of the tool is damaged and tools thatneed further improvement more easily and can be quicklyupdated. The creation of this system begins with the needsanalysis, design design as the basis of system development, theright of access consists of technicians of each laboratory andprocurement department on campus one, content creationconsists of laboratory data, checking tools and materials, repairtools and materials and demand tools and materials then printdata laboratory

This paper reviews experience extending over 18 months obtained with the Elliott Automatic Laboratory Analysis (A.L.A.) system, coupled with a Teletype link for communicating with a computer situated half-a-mile away. The system has been used for the off-line processing by an Elliott 803 computer of data collected from AutoAnalyzers carrying out urea and electrolyte determinations. The A.L.A. equipment itself has proved reliable, apart from faults in the translator-timers occurring mostly during the first 3 months of routine operation, but the Teletype link has been subject to frequent breakdowns. The advantages of using the A.L.A. system of data-collection and computation have been confirmed, but disadvantages of this off-line system are discussed and reasons given why an on-line system of data-collection from AutoAnalyzers is preferred. The importance of reliable performance of laboratory data-acquisition and data-processing equipment in routine operation, and the need for good servicing arrangements, are stressed. The system described in this paper has been deficient in back-up servicing arrangements in respect of the A.L.A. equipment itself and of the Elliott 803 computer, but most of all in respect of the Teletype units. Alphabetical coding patterns have proved of little value as a means of reducing the number of reports requiring detailed scrutiny, but they have served to draw attention to markedly abnormal results.

Background: Extra pulmonary TB is an AIDS defining opportunistic infection in patients with HIV infection. TB spine is the commonest form of bone TB and whose clinical picture depends on the site and the presence of HIV infectionMethod: This was a retrospective review of patient records (n=101) over a two-year period (2008-2010) at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. Clinical and radiological features, laboratory data were analyzed Results: One hundred and one patients (57 male: 44 female) had TB spine in this period. The mean age was 37.22 ± 14.29 years. The main presenting complaint was backache in 71(70.3%) patients and the mean duration of symptoms was 2.68 ± 1.23 months. The Gibbus was present in 77 (76.24%) of the patients while neurological deficit was identified in 32 (31.6%) patients. The lumbar spine the most affected in 64(63.4%) patients. The mean ESR was determined to be 59.43 ± 32.23 mm/hour. The prevalence rate of HIV infection in the patients with TB spine was 24.8 %. The average CD4 count was found to be 262± 121.3 cells/μl.Conclusion: The prevalence rate of HIV infection (24.8%) is higher than that obtaining in the Zambian general population (13.7%) but lower than the general prevalence of HIV infection in patients with TB (68%).

Using Data

SummaryJudgements of examinees’ health status by doctors and by the examinees themselves are compared applying multiple discriminant analysis. The doctors’ judgements of the examinees’ health status are studied comparatively using laboratory data and the examinees’ subjective symptom data.This data was obtained in an Automated Multiphasic Health Testing System. We discuss the health conditions which are significant for the judgement of doctors about the examinees. The results show that the explanatory power, when using subjective symptom data, is fair in the case of the doctors’ judgement. We found common variables, such as nervousness, lack of perseverance etc., which form the first canonical axis.

Abstract:The sharing of knowledge worldwide using hypermedia facilities and fast communication protocols (i.e., Mosaic and World Wide Web) provides a growth capacity with tremendous versatility and efficacy. The example of ExPASy, a molecular biology server developed at the University Hospital of Geneva, is striking. ExPASy provides hypermedia facilities to browse through several up-to-date biological and medical databases around the world and to link information from protein maps to genome information and diseases. Its extensive access is open through World Wide Web. Its concept could be extended to patient data including texts, laboratory data, relevant literature findings, sounds, images and movies. A new hypermedia culture is spreading very rapidly where the international fast transmission of documents is the central element. It is part of the emerging new “information society”.
