    Acceptability of artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced laboratory information system (LIS) among registered medical technologists in Dasmariñas City, Cavite

    No full text
    This study explored the acceptability of artificial intelligence-enhanced Laboratory Information Systems among registered medical technologists in Dasmariñas City, Cavite. As AI continuously transforms the healthcare system, its use in the laboratory poses a question as to how helpful it actually is and if its advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A total of 101 registered medical technologists working in selected laboratories were surveyed using a physical questionnaire tackling different constructs on the use of AI in the laboratory. Findings revealed that the perception of AI integration is generally acceptable as the majority of the respondents acknowledge that AI may be able to improve efficiency, accuracy, and data handling in the laboratory. However, there are still concerns with regard to the ethical implications of AI along with the readiness of the laboratories to implement this technology

    Synergistic effect of Diplazium esculentum Leaf Extract (Edible fern) and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis Against Aedes aegypti Mosquito Larvae: In Vitro Evaluation of Biolarvicidal Activity

    Heavy rainstorms were common natural disasters that occurred yearly in the Philippines. Such problems led to the formation of stagnant water, a breeding ground for vectors such as Aedes aegypti. Vector-transmitted diseases, most notably dengue, have been one of the major health concerns in the Philippines, affecting thousands of individuals yearly and taking lives when left untreated. This study evaluated the synergism between Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis and Diplazium esculentum against Aedes aegypti larvae. The study used experimental research and arithmetic means to analyze the efficacy of Bti and DEL alone and in combination. Kruskal-Wallis followed by post hoc test, Dunn’s method was also used to determine the significant difference of its combined mortality rate compared to the control groups. The Bti isolate was proven to have a lethal effect on the larvae, achieving an 86.6% mortality rate within 24Hr. Moreover, the varying concentration of DEL extract (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%) proves to have an inverse relationship with the duration of exposure. Furthermore, the combined effect of Bti and DEL proves to be more lethal compared to the positive control, in which it outweighs the mortality rate obtained by the control in every 4Hr period. Duration of exposure was also significantly reduced, achieving a 100% mortality rate within 20 hours, in contrast to the positive control that obtained 100% mortality after the 24Hr period. Using Kruskal-Wallis, a p-value of less than 0.05 was obtained in every 4Hr period, concluding a significant difference in larval mortality rate between the combined Bti+DEL and the control groups
