කෝවිලක් මුහුදින් රැකගන්න නගර සභාව බරටම වැඩ!

එක රටක් නීති දෙකක් !

සැඩ රළ හේතුවෙන් තිරිකුණාමලය, පත්තානම්බර් කෝවිල දැඩි ලෙස සමුද්‍ර ඛාදනයට ලක්ව ඇතැයි වාර්තා වෙයි.

මෙම කෝවිල රැක ගැනීම වෙනුවෙන් තිරිකුණාමලය මහ නගර සභාව මැදිහත්ව ඇතැයි සමාජ මාධ්‍ය වාර්තා කරයි.

දැල් සහිත ගල් වැටී දමමින් සහ තාවකාලික වැලි කොට්ට තබමින් කෝවිල ආරක්ෂා කර ගැනීමට පිරිසක් කටයුතු කරන ආකාරය දැක්වෙන ඡායාරූප සමාජ මාධ්‍යවල සංසරණය වෙයි.

කෙසේ වුවද තිරිකුණාමලය බෝධිරාජ විහාරයේ සුනාමියට හසුව විනාශ වූ පැරණි ධර්මශාලාවෙහි පාදම මත බුදු පිළිමයක් තැබීමට එරෙහිව නීතිය ක්‍රියාත්මක කළ වෙරළ සංරක්ෂණ දෙපාර්තමේන්තුව මෙම කෝවිළේ හෝ වෙරළ සීමාවේ පිහිටි සිය ගණනක් වන සංචාරක හොටෙල් සඳහා කිසිදු බාධාවක් කර නොමැත.

Calprotectin and lactoferrin are both neutrophil-derived proteins used as non-invasive f***l biomarkers to detect and monitor intestinal inflammation.
GP IBD Tests | Crohns Calprotectin and Lactoferrin Tests
Calprotectin and lactoferrin in the assessment of intestinal ...
Calprotectin and Lactoferrin Rapid test from stool sample ...
Key Differences & Commonalities
Source: Both are released by white blood cells (neutrophils) that migrate to the gut during an inflammatory response.
Stability: Both are highly resistant to degradation by digestive enzymes, remaining stable in stool for up to 7 days at room temperature.
Primary Use: They are most commonly used to differentiate between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which is non-inflammatory.
Clinical Accuracy: Studies show they have similar performance, with diagnostic accuracy for IBD ranging from 80% to 100%.
Comparison Table: Calprotectin vs. Lactoferrin
Feature F***l Calprotectin (FC) F***l Lactoferrin (FL)
Protein Type Calcium- & Zinc-binding protein Iron-binding glycoprotein
Measurement Usually quantitative (ELISA) Often qualitative (Positive/Negative)
Sensitivity Generally considered slightly more sensitive Slightly lower pooled sensitivity (~75%)
Clinical Preference Highly preferred by gastroenterologists Often used by primary care for acute diarrhea
Post-Op Utility Stronger predictor of disease recurrence Useful, but may have lower sensitivity
Why Measure Them?
Screening: To decide if a patient with abdominal pain or chronic diarrhea needs an invasive colonoscopy.
Monitoring Treatment: To assess if medications are achieving "mucosal healing" without requiring repeated scopes.
Predicting Relapse: Rising levels can signal an impending flare-up months before symptoms appear.
Infection Detection: F***l lactoferrin is sometimes used to identify invasive bacterial infections like Salmonella, Shigella, or C. difficile.
Important Note: These markers are not specific to IBD. Elevated levels can also be caused by colorectal cancer, certain medications (like NSAIDs), or gastrointestinal infections. Always interpret results in a clinical context with a healthcare provider.

𝐒tool calprotectin quest

Stool calprotectin testing through Quest Diagnostics measures a protein marker of intestinal inflammation, often used to differentiate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis from non-inflammatory conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [2][4]

# # Test Purpose
Quest's calprotectin stool test (code 16796) detects elevated neutrophil-derived protein levels in stool, indicating bowel inflammation from IBD or other causes. Levels above 120 mcg/g are considered elevated, helping avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. [2][3]

# # Collection Details
Collect 3 grams (minimum 0.3 g) of solid or semi-liquid stool in a Quest standard container without preservative or a clean, leak-proof plastic screw-cap container. Avoid NSAIDs beforehand if possible, as they can falsely elevate results. [3]

# # Interpretation Guide
- Normal: ≤120 mcg/g (rules out significant inflammation).
- Elevated: >120 mcg/g (suggests IBD; >250 mcg/g raises likelihood further).
It's a non-specific marker, so follow up with endoscopy if high. [2][4][5]

𝐒tool lactoferrin test

The stool lactoferrin test measures levels of lactoferrin, a protein released by neutrophils during intestinal inflammation, in a f***l sample.[1][2] It's commonly used to detect active inflammation in the gut, helping differentiate inflammatory conditions like IBD from non-inflammatory ones like IBS.[1][3]

# # Clinical Uses
Doctors order this test for symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bloody stools to screen for infections, IBD (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), or other inflammatory issues.[2][3] It's stable in stool samples even at room temperature, making it reliable and non-invasive compared to procedures like colonoscopy.[4][5] The test is especially useful in children or as a monitoring tool for IBD progression.[3]

# # Test Procedure
A small stool sample is collected in a provided container and sent to a lab for analysis via ELISA (quantitative or qualitative).[1][6] No special prep like fasting is needed, though recent infections or certain conditions (e.g., HIV, recent surgery) may affect results.[6]

# # Result Interpretation
- Normal: 120 mcg/g (suggests IBD; >250 mcg/g raises likelihood further).
It's a non-specific marker, so follow up with endoscopy if high. [2][4][5]
