123. Fighting Leprosy In Nepal - Jenny Davis in the beautiful but poor Kingdom of Nepal and describes scientists who are sharingtheir skills and using molecular biology to understand and control leprosy. http://www.abc.net.au/science/slab/nepal/default.htm

This is a story about today's technology and an ancient disease. It is set in the beautiful but poor Kingdom of Nepal and describes scientists who are sharing their skills and using molecular biology to understand and control leprosy. Jenny Davis tells the story of her visit to the "Forest of Joy" outside Kathmandu. A road leading up to the Forest of Joy I am a microbiologist in an Australian public health laboratory. We have modern equipment and use sophisticated methods to investigate infectious disease problems in our community. But I've wondered about how much use this technology would be if I was in a lab in a developing country -basic health needs mean basic lab techniques, right? Then last year, I heard Australian immunologist Dr Paul Roche speak about his research work with leprosy in Nepal. I thought Paul was great. He was very aware of the ethics of conducting research in a developing country; he was keen to apply cutting-edge techniques to solve complex problems; and best of all, he was enthusiastic about the sharing of skills with his Nepali scientific colleagues. I decided to visit him at the Mycobacterial Research Laboratory at Anandaban Leprosy Hospital, Nepal. A leprosy infection can result in disfigurement of the eyelids so that they don't quite close properly.

www.bevscountrycottage.com CROCHETED OR KNITTED TROPICAL SORE BANDAGES "I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?" Mother Teresa PATTERNS to use I nstructions: Size: approximately 3 inches wide by 4 feet long. Material specifications: No. 10 knit Cro-sheen, 100% mercerized cotton in white, cream or ecru. It's bedspread cotton. (1 'ball/skein' will make 2 - 4 ft long bandages.) Do not use dyes. South Maid D54 is the suggested brand, although other brand names like JP Coats, knit Cro Sheen etc, are welcome if they meet these specifications. *When completed, roll bandages and secure with a large safety pin. *Put in plastic bag, remove air, and seal and mail to Salt Lake City - address above. Knitted Leper Bandage: (I think the knitted bandages turn out softer, but the crocheted ones are faster to make.) Use size 2 knitting needles if you knit average or loosely, size 3 needles if you knit tightly. I use little double pointed needles with the point protectors on the tips, so I can carry them in my purse. Cast on 24 to 28 stitches so the bandage measures 3-4" across.

"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15 Home Contact us Donate Our Mission MINISTRY AMONG LEPERS Conducted by Pastor J. Richard Pastor Richard has conducted the leprosy campmeeting to preach the Gospel. All these people are afflicted with leprosy. Many of them have a positive attitude, but a few are negative about their disease. They are very interested to hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We would like to continue to preach the Gospel here and provide medicine, clothes and good food, and Bibles at least every three months. If you would like to help - please donate here. Around 250 people with leprosy attended Pastor Richard's campmeeting and heard the Gospel. After Pastor Richard shares the Gospel, many people are praying to receive Jesus Christ as their savior. In January of 2003 Pastor Richard and Pastor Britto share the Gospel, many lepers are accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Bureau of Communicable Disease Leprosy (Hansen's disease) What is leprosy? Leprosy is a chronic bacterial disease that affects the skin, nerves in the hands and feet, and in some cases, the lining of the nose. Leprosy is a rare disease in the United States. In 1999, there were 9 cases reported among New York City residents (rate of 0.1 cases per 100,000 persons). Who gets leprosy? Anyone can get leprosy, but children seem to be more susceptible than adults. How is leprosy spread? It is not clear how the leprosy germ is spread, but household and prolonged close contact is important. The germs probably enter the body through the nose, and possibly through broken skin. The germs get in the air through the nasal discharge of untreated lepromatous patients. What are the symptoms of leprosy? There are two types of leprosy: tuberculoid and lepromatous. Patients with tuberculoid leprosy symptoms have a few well-defined lesions that are usually numb. Symptoms of lepromatous leprosy include a chronically stuffy nose and multiple skin lesions and nodules. How soon after infection do the symptoms appear?

The Microbiology Laboratory and Serology Laboratory of the Royal Darwin Hospital Staff I'm currently the Director and the only medically qualified Clinical Microbiologist. For more details about me return to my professional page Ms Jann Hennessy is the A/Supervising Scientist for the Microbiology Laboratory. We are currently recruiting a new Supervising Scientist. My registrar for 2004 is Dr John Kelly. He is an infectious diseases physician and will hopefully then continue to train in microbiology. We have another two scientist positions (although some technician positions are filled with degree holders) in the "Bacteriology" Section of the laboratory. There are another five technician positions within Bacteriology. Our "Serology" Section has one scientist and four technician positions. Serology covers traditional serology and some molecular microbiology. The staff of the Microbiology Laboratory and Serology Laboratory, RDH are an excellent group of motivated microbiologists. I am very fortunate to have them working under my direction. Work The work load varies markedly between the two seasons in the Top End. During the Dry Season (Winter) the work load drops to very comfortable levels. This reduction in work load allows the staff to recharge for the Wet Season (Summer) which gets very busy.
