Mga pasyenteng high-risk sa komplikasyon sa leptospirosis, maagang matutukoy sa tulong ng device na sumusuri sa molecule ng dugo

last month

In time sa mga pagbahang dulot ng masamang panahon ang bagong innovation na tampok natin tonight! Mas pinadali na kasi ang pagtukoy sa mga leptospirosis patient na high-risk pala sa komplikasyon.

00:00In time for the worst of times, we have a new innovation for you tonight.

00:16It's easier to treat leptospirosis patients who are at high risk of complications.

00:22Come on, let's change the game!

00:24Because of the following typhoon, which caused flooding on both sides,

00:34many people are unable to avoid flooding.

00:38This is one of the reasons why the number of hospitalized patients is declining.

00:44And one of the cases is leptospirosis.

00:49As of October 18, the number of cases of leptospirosis in the country is almost 6,000.

00:55Of that number, 8% or more than 500 are in WID.

01:00What if there's a clue as to who among our patients could have a severe case of leptospirosis?

01:08We can save a life.

01:12That clue can be found in the so-called biomarkers or blood molecules of patients

01:18using the leptospirosis prognosticator developed by Dr. Jose Binevado Jr.

01:24of the National Institutes of Health of UP, Manila.

01:28As soon as a leptospirosis patient has a flood,

01:30they become inflamed, and if you injure them,

01:33they can get into your wound.

01:34You can get sick, and they will cause damage to our organs.

01:39In severe cases of leptospirosis,

01:41the patient usually has a flood,

01:44where the death rate is 80%,

01:46as well as the kidney failure.

01:48And in their examination,

01:49it turns out that there's a molecule that changes the blood of the patients

01:53who have complications.

01:55Almost all of the patients who died,

01:57and all of those who had pulmonary complications,

02:00that molecule is lower than normal.

02:03If we know that these patients will become severe in the long run,

02:10we will not let them go home.

02:12They should be kept locked up in the hospital.

02:16To predict who are the high-risk patients,

02:19the first thing the RNA will get is from their blood sample.

02:23We will use this master mix from the leptospirosis prognosticator.

02:29And then we will put it in the QPCR machine to see the data.

02:33We are monitoring two molecules.

02:35If the CCFI of a patient with leptospirosis is lower,

02:40it is possible for them to have lung complications.

02:44The second molecule is called alpha defensins or DEFA.

02:48If the DEFA of a patient is higher,

02:51there's a higher chance for them to have kidney complications.

02:55The biomarker test was patented locally and internationally.

03:00It was also validated in two independent studies.

03:03We will teach our patients to wisely decide on the treatment of their patients.

03:11That's it, Kapuso.

03:12Another game-changing innovation that will help our medical professionals

03:16in leptospirosis care.
