Sor candida ocampo biography
History
The Colegio de Santa Isabel, a lasting monument of Christian Charity and Spanish altruism was founded on October 24, 1632. The first and primary purpose of its foundation was for the education of the Spanish orphans, daughters of the Spanish soldiers in the service of the King. But in the years later, its doors were opened to Filipino girls as well. In 1733, by a royal decree of Queen Isabela II, the name of the college was changed to "Real Colegio de Santa Isabel."
On July 22, 1682, fifteen Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul arrived in the Philippines from Spain. There was great rejoicing and triumphant welcome was accorded to them by Spanish officials and the natives. The D.C.'s first house in the Philippines was Colegio de Santa Isabel. The College was then in Intramuros until it was totally destroyed by fire during the liberation of Manila. After the sorrowful and bitter experience of losing the Colegio, the Sisters sought refuge at St. Rita's College which was fortunately spared from the ravages of war. It was through the kindness of a benevolent and compassionate Monsignor Vicente Reyes then Parish Priest of the San Miguel Parish, who offered some rooms in the convent that the Sisters were able to start anew their apostolate of educating the young. The Sisters were not contented with the temporariness of the situation so, these courageous women led by the late Sr. Juana Zabalza, superior of the college at that time, and the indefatiguable principal Sr. Candida Ocampo, who later became the first Filipinas Superior of the College, were able to acquire the former St. Rita on 210 Taft Avenue.
Identification of Candida species in the oral cavity of diabetic patients
Abstract
Background and Purpose:
Diabetic patients are more susceptible to oral candidiasis infection than non-diabetics due to the factors promoting oral carriage of Candida. Several factors can increase colonization of Candida species in the oral cavity such as xerostomia, which reduces the salivary flow and is a salivary pH disorder. In the current study, we aimed to identify and compare the colonization level of Candida spp. in the oral cavity of diabetic and non-diabetic groups.
Materials and Methods:
Swabs were taken from the mouth of 106 participants and were cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) medium. Likewise, the saliva samples were collected for salivary glucose and pH measurements. The study was performed during June 2014-September 2015 on two groups of diabetic patients (n=58) and non-diabetics (n=48) as the control group. The Candida spp. were identified with PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using the restriction enzymes HinfI and MspI and were differentiated by culture on CHROMagar Candida medium.
Results:
The frequency of Candida spp. was higher in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetics. The most frequent Candida spp. in the diabetic patients were Candidaalbicans (%36.2),C. Krusei (%10.4), C. Glabrata (%5.1), and C. tropcalis .(%3.4)Likewise, C. albicans was the most frequent species (%27) in the non-diabetic individuals. In this study, the results of both methods for identification of the isolates were consistent with each other.
Conclusion:
Xerostomia and disturbance of physiological factors including pH and glucose can promote overgrowth of Candida flora in the oral cavity. These factors are considered important predisposing factors for oral candidiasis in diabetic patients. In the present study, it was observed that application of CHROMagar Candida and PCR-RFLP methods at the same time cont
