Journal ArticleDOI
Hemoglobin estimation by the HemoCue® portable hemoglobin photometer in a resource poor setting
Bernard Nkrumah,Samuel Blay Nguah,Nimako Sarpong,Denise Dekker,Ali Idriss,Juergen May,Yaw Adu-Sarkodie +6 more
TL;DR: The HemoCue photometer is recommended for use as on-the-spot device for determining hemoglobin in resource poor setting after Pairwise analysis revealed that the hemoglobin determined by the HemOCue method was higher than that measured by the KX21N and Cyanmethemoglobin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobile Phone-Based mHealth Approaches for Public Health Surveillance in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: The review revealed that mobile phone-based surveillance projects in the sub-Saharan African countries are on small scale, fragmented and not well documented, and is advocated for a strong drive for more research in the applied field as well as a better reporting of lessons learned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term live imaging reveals cytosolic immune responses of host hepatocytes against Plasmodium infection and parasite escape mechanisms
Monica Prado,Nina Eickel,Mariana De Niz,Anna Heitmann,Carolina Agop-Nersesian,Rahel Wacker,Jacqueline Schmuckli-Maurer,Reto Caldelari,Chris J. Janse,Shahid M. Khan,Juergen May,Christian Meyer,Volker Heussler +12 more
TL;DR: It was shown that the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) can be targeted by autophagy marker proteins LC3, ubiquitin, and SQSTM1/p62 as well as by lysosomes in a process resembling selective autophagosomes, and it appears that growing parasites even benefit from this form of nonselective host cell autphagy as an additional source of nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capillary refill time as an independent prognostic indicator in severe and complicated malaria.
Jennifer Evans,Juergen May,Daniel Ansong,Sampson Antwi,Emmanuel Asafo-Adjei,Samuel Blay Nguah,Kingsley Osei-Kwakye,Alex Osei Yaw Akoto,Alex Owusu Ofori,David Sambian,Justice Sylverken,Wibke Busch,Christian Timmann,Tsiri Agbenyega,Rolf D. Horstmann +14 more
TL;DR: The recognition of pCRT as an independent indicator of death justifies its inclusion as a defining criterion of severe and complicated malaria and improves the use of clinical examinations in the triage of patients with malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative evaluation of two rapid field tests for malaria diagnosis: Partec Rapid Malaria Test® and Binax Now® Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test
Bernard Nkrumah,Samuel Acquah,Lukeman Ibrahim,Juergen May,Norbert W. Brattig,Egbert Tannich,Samuel Blay Nguah,Yaw Adu-Sarkodie,Frank Huenger +8 more
TL;DR: Two rapid malaria tests, PT and BN RDT, demonstrated a good quality of their performance compared to conventional GM, and can therefore be considered as alternative diagnostic tools in malaria endemic areas.
