Laboratory quality control for all. Can this be achieved?
Visiting hospitals in Africa and meeting with clinicians, pathologists, and laboratory directors, it rapidly becomes apparent that confidence in any diagnostic services is lacking. Clinicians cite many reasons. Some days complete blood cell counts and chemistries are available, while on other days, because there are no reagents available, physicians have no results to guide treatment for their ...
متن کاملCan oysters control eutrophication in an integrated fish - oyster aquaculture system ?
Eutrophication is a serious problem occurring in ponds or estuaries where fish culture is practised. A possible solution to this problem is to raise oysters in an integrated culture with fish to improve water clarity and to help remove excess nutrients. In order to determine the effects that cultured oysters have on the environment, an experimental study was performed in the Moothakunnam region...
متن کاملBenthic Filter Feeding: A Natural Eutrophication Control
The importance of the benthic filter feeding community as a natural control on eutrophication is considered. The important environmental factors favorable for such a control are relatively shallow water depths and a dense benthic filter feeding commmunity of small animals. The criteria are summarized in the equivalence of the water recycling time, t, for the benthic community and the time const...
متن کاملPhosphorus control is critical to mitigating eutrophication.
T he Midwest floods of 2008 added more than just water to the region’s lakes, reservoirs, and rivers. Runoff from farms and towns carries a heavy load of silt, nutrients, and other pollutants. The nutrients trigger blooms of algae, which taint drinking water. Death and decay of the algae depletes oxygen, kills fish and bottom-dwelling animals, and thereby creates ‘‘dead zones’’ in the body of w...
متن کامل“This Racial Menace”?: Public Health, Venereal Disease and Maori in New Zealand, 1930–1947
In 1939, Whakatane, on the remote east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, came to the attention of the New Zealand Department of Health as an area where syphilis was ‘‘suspected [to be] widespread’’. This isolated part of the country was largely inhabited by Maori communities, and the revelation that venereal disease (VD) was so prevalent caught the Department by surprise, especially as ...
