1Magnetic resonance imaging of pancreatitis: An update显示文摘Magnetic resonance(MR)imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging of acute and chronic pancreatitis and may represent the best imaging technique in the setting of pancreatitis due to its unmatched soft tissue contrast resolution as well as nonionizing nature and higher safety profile of intravascular contrast media,making it particularly valuable in radiosensitive populations such as pregnant patients,and patients with recurrent pancreatitis requiring multiple follow-up examinations.Additional advantages include the ability to detect early forms of chronic pancreatitis and to better differentiate adenocarcinoma from focal chronic pancreatitis.This review addresses new trends in clinical pancreatic MR imaging emphasizing its role in imaging all types of acute and chronic pancreatitis,pancreatitis complications and other important differential diagnoses that mimic pancreatitis.Sriluxayini Manikkavasakar Mamdoh AlObaidy Kiran K Busireddy Miguel Ramalho Viragi Nilmini Madhavi Alagiyawanna Richard C Semelka 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,40:8
2Evaluation of PCR-ELISA as a tool for monitoring transmission of Wuchereria bancrofti in District of Gampaha,Sri Lanka显示文摘Objective:To compare Wuchereria bancrofti(W.bancrofti)infection rates of Culex quinquefasciatus,using dissection and PCR-EUSA in two consecutive time periods(from 2007to 2008 and from 2008 to 2009).Methods:Mosquitoes were collected in 30 sentinel and 15 nonsentinel sites in 15 Medical Officer of Health areas of Gampaha District known for the presence of W.bancrofti transmission in two consecutive time period of 2007 to 2008 and 2008 to 2009.Captured mosquitoes were dissected to determine the W.bancrofti larvae(L_1 L_2,L_3,).PCR was carried out using DNA extracted from mosquito pools(15 body parts/pool)utilizing the primers specific for Wb-Sspl repeat.PCR products were analyzed by hybridization ELISA using fluorescein-labeled wild type specific probes.The prevalence of infected/infective mosquiloes in PCR pools(3 pools/site)was estimated using the PoolSereen^(TM)algorithm and a novel probability—based method.Results:Of 45 batches of mosquitoes dissected,W.bancrofti infected mosquitoes were found in19 and 13 batches,with an infection rate of 13.29%and 3.10%with mean larval density of 8.7 and1.0 larvae per mosquito for two study periods in the Gampaha District.Total of 405 pools of head,thorax and abdomen were processed by PCR-EUSA for each year.Of these,51 and 31 pools were positive for W.bancrofti in the two study periods respectively.The association of dissection based prevalence rates with PCR based rates as determined by the Pearson correlation coefficient were0.176 and 0.890 respectively for the two periods.Conclusions:Data indicate that PCR-EUSA is more sensitive than the traditional dissection techniques for monitoring transmission intensity.Asha Dilrukshi Wijegunawardana Nilmini Silva Gunawardane Chanditha Hapuarachchi Aresha Manamperi Kithsiri Gunawardena Wimaladharma Abeyewickrama 2013Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2013,3,5:4

12Understanding the mHealth implementation and adoption impact: A FVM perspective显示文摘Successful adoption and implementation of Mobile Health applications (mHealth) has been the subject of extensive research as can be evidenced by the large body of research literature on this topic. However, the fit and viability perspective issues have been less widely studied, perhaps because of the difficulty and complexity of healthcare services and delivery factors and their studies. In today’s global business environment this remains a key issue and critical success factor. Hence, this paper explains how challenging the mHealth application implementation success is for organizations government and patients. Furthermore, it is also very important to assess a fit and viability of mHealth application implementations in diverse environment. By drawing upon multiple streams of theory building, a framework, from the Fit-Viability Model (FVM) perspective, is developed. The framework provides important and valuable guiding principles for the decisions on adoption and deployment of mHealth applications. Grounded on the fit-viability framework, the paper advocates the use of a multi-case study approach to examine the success or failure of mHealth applications adoption and implementation. Managers and researchers can use the developed framework to identify the fit and viability of mHealth applications implementations to increase the possibility of success.Nilmini Wickramasinghe 2018Electronics Science Technology and Application2018,5,2:0
13Does Carica papaya leaf-extract increase the platelet count? An experimental study in a murine model显示文摘Objective:To investigate the potential role of fresh Carica papaya(C.papaya)leaf extract on haematological and biochemical parameters and toxicological changes in a murine model.Methods:In total 36 mice were used for the trial.Fresh C.papaya leaf extract[0.2 mL(2 g)/mouse]was given only to the test group(18 mice).General behavior,clinical signs and feeding patterns were recorded.Blood and tissue samples were collected at intervals.Haematological parameters including platelet,red blood cell(RBC),white blood cell<(WBC),packed cell volume(PCV),serum biochemistry including serum creatinine,serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase(SCOT)and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(SGPT)were determined.Organs for possible histopathological changes were examined.Results:Neither group exhibited alteration of behavior or reduction in food and water intake.Similarly,no significant changes in SCOT,SGPT and serum creatinine levels were delected in the test group.Histopathological organ changes were not observed in either group of mice except in three liver samples of the test group which had a mild focal necrosis.The platelet count(11.33±0.35)×10~5VμL(P=0.00004)and the RBC count(7.97±0.61)×10~/μL(P=0.00003)were significandy increased in the test group compared to that of the controls.However,WBC count and PCV(%)values were not changed significantly in the test group.The platelet count in the test group started to increase significantly from Day 3(3.4±0.18×10~5/μL),reaching almost a fourfold higher at Day 21(11.3×10~5/μL),while it was 3.8X10^5/μL and 5.5×10~5/μL at Day 3 and Day 21 respectively in the control.Likewise,the RBC count in the test group increased from 6×10~6/μL to 9×10~6/μL at Day 21 while it remained near constant in the control group(6×10~6μL).Conclusions:Fresh C.papaya leaf extract significandy increased the platelet and RBC counts in the test group as compared to controls.Therefore,it is very important to identify those chemicals of C.papaya leaves as it can be recommended to be used as a medication to boost thrombopoiesis and erythropoiesis in humans and in animals in which these cell lineages have been compromised.Sinhalagoda Lekamlage chandi Asoka Dharmarathna Susiji Wickramasinghe Roshitha Nilmini Waduge Rajapakse Peramune Veddikkarage Jayanthe Rajapakse Senanayake Abeysinghe Mudiyanselage Kularatne 2013Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2013,3,9:0
14Multicultural Practice in Secondary Schools With Multicultural Background显示文摘In Sri Lanka,after 30 years of civil war,multicultural education is being seen as important to help change students’attitudes towards different ethnic and religious groups.Therefore,the major aim of this study was to investigate the views of students and staff about the multicultural policies and practices in Sinhala-medium secondary schools with multicultural background.The sample of the study comprised of 321 students,116 teachers and five principals from five Sinhala-medium schools.In addition,four education policy-makers also contributed to the study.The key findings indicated that the majority of Sinhala and Tamil students were engaged in the school activities but Muslim students less so.In addition,all five schools had a variety of extra-curricular activities that were designed for minority ethnic groups.This is a good example for other multicultural schools in Sri Lanka.Research findings show that overall the majority of teachers suggested that they wanted some training about multicultural education.Most students were satisfied that their teachers know some expressions in the language of different students.However,teachers in these multicultural schools wanted language training to build a good intercultural relationship between teachers and students.Counsellors and teachers did not have the knowledge and skills required to provide cross-cultural counselling.Therefore,both teachers and counsellors need proper training.The research makes clear how extra/co-curricular activities are important to promote social cohesion in Sri Lanka.Lanka Nilmini Priyadarshani Wedikandage 2021Cultural and Religious Studies2021,9,3:0
15Public knowledge,practices and perceptions on typhus fevers in Southern Sri Lanka显示文摘Objective:To assess public knowledge,practices and perceptions on typhus fevers in Sri Lanka.Methods:A descriptive study was done in four selected typhus-prone areas in Southern Sri Lanka.A mixed-method was employed using face-to-face interviews and questionnaire-based surveys among confirmed cases of typhus and at-risk populations,respectively.Frequencies,percentages,and means were used to characterize socio-demography and evaluate disease awareness.Results:The lay terms for typhus fevers reported in the studied region were“peacock fever”,“tick fever”and“bird fever”.A total of 499 subjects participated[mean±SD,(45±16)years]in the questionnaire-based survey,and 13.6%(n=68)reported past experience of typhus fever,1.2%(n=6)identified the disease as“typhus”while 58.7%(n=293)and 11.8%(n=59)knew it as‘peacock fever’and‘tick fever’,respectively.The etiological agent was unknown to 95.2%(n=475),but 53.5%(n=267)were aware that it was vector-borne.Fever(57.3%,n=286),eschar(35.7%,n=178),headache(22.0%,n=267)and myalgia(19.2%,n=96)were identified as key symptoms.Past disease experience was significantly associated with higher awareness of the main disease symptoms(fever:χ^(2)=15.713,P<0.001;headache:χ^(2)=19.447,P<0.001;lymphadenopathy:Fisher’s exact test,P=0.023;eschar:χ^(2)=12.049,P<0.001).None knew of any disease prevention methods.Participants with a past history of typhus fever had sought treatment at state hospitals(55.9%,38/68)and private sector hospitals(5.9%,4/68).Conclusions:Public awareness on preventive practices for typhus fevers was rare among the participants though vector-borne aspect was known to many.Clinical disease awareness was deficient among those without past experience of typhus fever.Community sensitization on vector avoidance strategies is highly recommended.Ashani Liyanage Nilmini Chandrasena Nayana Gunathilaka Ruwan Sanjeewa Ranjan Premaratna 2022Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2022,15,5:0
