  • VIROLOGY for MEDICAL LABORATORY STUDENTS Mwamisi, Muthwii, Mwala, Mokua
    VIROLOGY for MEDICAL LABORATORY STUDENTS Mwamisi, Muthwii, Mwala, Mokua To the Reader Virology is an important subject in Medical Laboratory Sciences. Medical Laboratory Medicine puts a technologist/technician in the fore front in diagnosis and proper interpretation of the correct diseases by a clinician. Research on viruses, therefore, has gained a lot of momentum in recent years due to the Medical importance they contribute to the field of medicine. A lot of this work goes through the medical laboratory Department where it is handled by the medical laboratory students, especially, on practical experience. The purpose of this manual is, therefore, to provide to the student adequate up-to-date information in preparation for the work that the student will perform in any Medical Laboratory Department, whether research or routine work. We hope this information will not only be useful to the medical laboratory Students or staff, but!also will be a reference material for others in Health or health related field. Joseph M.

  • Infection Control in Dentistry: How to Asepsis Photographic Mirrors?
    Infection control in dentistry: how to asepsis photographic mirrors? Amanda Osório Ayres de Freitas* Mariana Marquezan* Giselle Naback Lemes Vilani* Rodrigo César Santiago* Luiz Felipe de Miranda Costa* Sandra Regina Torres** Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of six different methods of disinfection and sterilization of intra­oral photographic mirrors through microbiological testing and to analysis their potential harm to mirrors’ surface. Fourteen occlusal mirrors were divided into seven groups. Group 1 comprised two mirrors as received from manufacturer. The other six groups comprised mirrors disinfected/sterilized by autoclave, immersion in enzymatic detergent, and friction with chlorhexidine detergent, chlorhexidine wipes, common detergent and 70% ethylic alcohol. Microbiological and quality surface analyses were performed. Sterilization in autoclave was microbiologic effective, but caused damage to the mirror surface. Chlorhexidine (in wipes or detergent) and liquid soap were effective disinfectant agents for photographic mirrors decontamination, without harmful effect on its surface. Enzymatic detergent immersion and friction with 70% ethylic alcohol were not effective as disinfectant agents for photographic mirrors decontamination. According to the results, the more effective and safe methods for photographic mirrors disinfection were friction with chlorhexidine wipes or detergent, as well as liquid soap. Results, the most efficacious methods for photographic mirrors disinfection were friction with chlorhexidine wipes and detergent, as well as common detergent.

  • Medical Laboratory Scientist LIMITED ENTRY BACHELOR of APPLIED SCIENCE (BAS) REQUIRED CREDITS: 120 DEGREE CODE: MLS-BAS
    MEDICAL LABORATORY PROGRAM Medical Laboratory Scientist LIMITED ENTRY BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BAS) REQUIRED CREDITS: 120 DEGREE CODE: MLS-BAS This is a limited-entry program. Some of these courses are program prerequisites and MUST be completed before a student is considered eligible for entry into the Program. Students MUST attend a Health Programs orientation and meet with a Health Programs advisor for additional advisement. DESCRIPTION The Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) is an important member of the health care team in hospitals, clinics, medical research and teaching centers, and is an indispensable participant with physicians in providing critical diagnostic information. The MLS functions as a dependable, ambitious and highly motivated professional capable of handling high stress situations with ease and confidence. The Medical Laboratory Scientist performs and interprets diagnostic laboratory procedures using state-of-the-art instrumentation to aid in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease; monitors the standards of accuracy and precision in the performance of tests; performs routine maintenance; analyzes and corrects instrument problems; researches, evaluates, and implements new procedures; and may be responsible for fiscal/personnel management of laboratory. The Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Medical Laboratory Scientist combines academic and laboratory courses on campus with practical experience at clinical affiliate sites. The program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 5600 N. River Road, Suite 720, Rosemont, IL 60018-5119, (877) 939-3597.

  • Scheme for Affiliation of Private Hospitality Institutes Offering Programs Related to Hospitality Education & Training
    SCHEME FOR AFFILIATION OF PRIVATE HOSPITALITY INSTITUTES OFFERING PROGRAMS RELATED TO HOSPITALITY EDUCATION & TRAINING NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR HOTEL MANAGEMENT & CATERING TECHNOLOGY (NCHMCT) A-34, Sector 62, NOIDA – 201 309 (UP) SCHEME FOR AFFILIATION OF HOSPITALITY PRIVATE INSTITUTES OFFERING PROGRAMS RELATED TO HOSPITALITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING NEED FOR PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION: The training capacity available in the Government Institutes of Hotel Management/Food Craft Institutes is being augmented continually to maximize the delivery of trained personnel to the industry. The demand of trained manpower leaves enough scope for delivery of quality trained manpower by the institutes set up in private sector. It has therefore become necessary that existing private institutions imparting hospitality education and training assume a significant role in meeting the expanding demand for quality trained personnel. In this context, participation of educational institutes in the private sector through scheme of affiliation with NCHMCT has been launched to bridge gap between demand and supply of quality professionals to the expanding Industry. Existing hospitality programs ranging from Certificate level to Degree level offered by National Council for Hotel Management has enabled candidates from private institutes qualify for a proficiency that is in line with the quality of students turned out by the best of affiliated Institutes in the government sector. The scheme of affiliation launched in year 2006 culminated in affiliation of 4 private Institutes. Subsequently, Council invited applications from private Institutes and affiliated 10 more Institutes of Hotel Management in private sector. As on date, total 14 private Institutes are affiliated to this Council. Original scheme of affiliation has been revised in present form which brings out clarity in requirements and assessment thereof by experts Committee in a transparent manner.
