Investigation of Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading to Urinary Tract Infections Among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Sub-Saharan Africa
INVESTIGATION OF Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading TO Urinary TRACT INFECTIONS Among Patients WITH Diabetes Mellitus IN Sub-SaharAN Africa. Jackline NakkunguA A Department OF MicrOBIOLOGY, Faculty OF Health Sciences, University OF Kisubi, Kisubi, Uganda AbstrACT Background:A The RISK OF DIABETIC PATIENTS ACQUIRING UTIS IS HIGHER THAN THAT OF THEIR non-diabetic counterparts. This IS DUE TO THE DAMAGE ON THE URINARY BLADDER NERVES CAUSED BY HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEvels. This NERVE DAMAGE REDUCES THE ABILITY OF THE URINARY BLADDER TO SENSE THE PRESENCE OF URINE IN it. As A Result, URINE STAYS FOR A LONG TIME IN THE bladder, INCREASING THE GROWTH OF THE BACTERIA IN urine. UTI’S MAY LEAD TO EMPHYSEMATOUS Pyelonephritis, CYSTITIS IN females, RENAL AND PERIRENAL abscess, PAPILLARY NECRosis, XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS Pyelonephritis, AND FUNGAL infections. TherE IS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BACTERIA AffECTING DIABETIC PATIENTS IN Uganda. Methodology: IN A CRoss-sectional STUDY, 76 DIABETIC PATIENTS AT Our Lady OF Consolata Kisubi Hospital HAD THEIR URINE SAMPLES COLLECTED AND ANALYZED FOR THE PRESENCE OF URo-bacterial PATHOGENS IN THE MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY AT THE University OF Kisubi. Patients WERE INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO COLLECT MIDSTREAM urine, WHICH WERE CULTURED ON BLOOD AGAR AND MacConkEY AGAR plates. The BACTERIA WERE IDENTIfiED ACCORDING TO COLONY size, shape, AND hemolysis. SeVERAL BIOCHEMICAL TESTS WERE USED TO CONfiRM THE PRESENCE OF THE DIffERENT BACTERIA STRAINS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL SUBCULTURED COLONIES Results Escherichia COLI WAS THE MOST PREDOMINANT BACTERIUM ASSOCIATED WITH UTIS IN DIABETES MELLITUS WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF 42.3 %. This WAS FOLLOWED BY Klebsiella SPECIES WITH 21.1%, Staphylococcus AUREUS WITH 14.1%, StrEPTOCOCCUS SPECIES AT 11.76%, PrOTEUS SPECIES AT 5.8%, EnterOCOCCUS FAECALIS AT 3.5%, AND SerrATIA MARCESCENS WITH 1.17%. -

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question. -

Namuwongo: Key to Kampala’S Present and Future Development
5/8/2017 Africa at LSE – Namuwongo: Key to Kampala’s Present and Future Development Namuwongo: Key to Kampala’s Present and Future Development Ahead of an exhibition celebrating the Kampala neighbourhood, Namuwongo, Joel Ongwec showcases the contribution this informal settlement and its inhabitants to Uganda’s capital city. Kampala is the largest city of Uganda with over 1.5 million residents. Its rapid population growth has put pressure on the municipality to deliver basic services as up to 60 per cent of the population are living in informal settlements (Mukwaya et al. 2010). Informal areas such as the centrally located Namuwongo have experienced protests over evictions and lack of urban services, including administrative problems that link into wider resource conflicts across the city (Kareem and Lwasa 2011). The need to undertake research to better understand these areas is pressing and a group of researchers including myself have spent time in Namuwongo to consider the issues of urban spaces like this and others across the capital. We sought to address this with research that concludes with an exhibition at the Uganda National Museum. Namuwongo is an informal settlement which separates two wealthier neighbourhoods of Bugolobi and Muyenga just outside the city centre. It spreads out along the main drainage channel (Nakivubo) that pours its water into Lake Victoria. The settlement has spilled over the railroad tracks as a result of people moving to the capital and currently has an estimated 15,000 inhabitants, several businesses, churches, and even large logistics warehouses. It is however a poorly understood neighborhood, but a vital one to the present and future of Kampala. -

Free Mover Clinical Clerkships
FREE MOVER CLINICAL CLERKSHIPS Students interested in spending a clerkship activity abroad without participating in the Erasmus+ programs can enroll as Free-Movers (Fee-paying Visiting Students or Independent Students or Contract Students) at some foreign University hospitals where they can attend clinical rotations. The Free-Mover Clinical Clerkship Period is an optional part of the medical course and as such must be accounted for. Students not willing to participate still have to attend clinical rotations at the University of Milan. The Clerkship abroad represents a mutual contract between Supervisor and Student and is subject to supervision by the Faculty. In this document, there is the list of possible destinations and university hospitals in which the clinical clerkship period can be performed. For some of the destinations, students are advised to clearly declare their student status, as they may be allowed to participate only as observers and not and interns. 1 AFRICA Egypt Ethiopia Benin Botswana IvoryCoast Ghana Cameroon Kenya Libya Morocco Namibia Nigeria Rwanda Zambia Senegal Sudan SouthAfrica Tanzania Tunisia Uganda Zimbabwe ASIA China India Indonesia Japan Cambodia Malaysia Mongolia Nepal Philippines Singapore SriLanka SouthKorea Taiwan Thailand Vietnam 2 THE MIDDLE EAST Bahrain Iran Israel Jordan Qatar Lebanon Oman Palestine SaudiArabia Syria United Arab Emirates OCEANIA Australia Adelaide Canberra Melbourne Newcastle NewSouthWales Perth Queensland Sydney Tasmania New Zealand EUROPE Belgium Bosnia-Herzigowina Bulgaria Denmark
