Sensitivity and Specificity
Abstract
Pyridinoline (Pyr), deoxypyridinoline (D-Pyr), galactosyl-pyridinoline (Gal-Pyr) and glucosyl-galactosyl pyridinoline (GluGal-Pyr) are enzymatic mature pyridinium crosslinks. Generally, only total Pyr and D-Pyr urinary amounts (free+bound forms) are evaluated by HPLC as indices of bo...

Abstract
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are a key class of drugs for the treatment of HIV infection. NRTIs are intracellularly phosphorylated to their active triphosphate metabolites and compete with endogenous deoxynucleotides (dNTP) for substrate binding. It is therefor...

Abstract
We have recently reported that when cholesterol is oxidized with an ozone-like oxidant generated by activated mouse neutrophils, secosterol-A is generated which is then converted to secosterol-B by an aldol reaction. To investigate further pathophysiological roles of secosterols, we have developed a...

Abstract
A highly sensitive, selective and evaporation free SPE extraction, ESI-LC-MS/MS method has been developed for estimation of misoprostol free acid in human plasma using misoprostol acid-d(5) as an internal standard (IS). The analyte was separated using isocratic mobile phase on revers...

Abstract
Proper diagnosis of Blastocystis hominis in not performed routinely in medical laboratories of developing countries; consequently clinical significance of this common intestinal protozoon is liable to remain unsettled. Food-handlers are more prone to get and transmit this feco-oral i...

Abstract
A total of 30 patients suffering from brucellosis were suspected based on history taking, clinical manifestations and positive serum tube agglutination test (at titer > or = 1/160). The followings were done for all cases; complete blood picture (differential leucocytic count) and liv...

Abstract
Non-invasive tests play significant roles in the test-and-treat approach of Helicobacter pylori management. The detection of Helicobacter pylori antibodies in urine and serum is an easy and inexpensive way to diagnose this infection. In the present study, the authors developed an in-...

Abstract
We observed translate into differences associated with using traditional regressions to predict anthropometric variables in an aging population. Our data point to a need to consider age, obesity, and gender when utilizing anthropometric data sets and to develop regression models that accurately pred...

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of soft tissue artifact during three-dimensional motion capture and assess the effectiveness of an optimization method to reduce this effect. Four subjects were captured performing upper-arm internal-external rotation with retro-reflective marker s...

Abstract
To investigate what sampling frequency is adequate for gait, the correlation of spatiotemporal parameters and the kinematic differences, between normal and CP spastic gait, for three sampling frequencies (100 Hz, 50 Hz, 25 Hz) were assessed. Spatiotemporal, angular, and linear displacement variables...

Abstract
The sensitivity of screening mammography is limited in the evaluation of dense breasts, with as few as 45% of cancers visible in extremely dense breasts. Supplementary imaging for improved sensitivity in women with dense breasts is necessary to overcome this limitation. Emerging technologies that adv...

Abstract
We discuss the current role of breast ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in screening for breast cancer in the high-risk population. Breast ultrasound finds small cancers not seen on mammography particularly in women with dense breasts. Breast MRI has sensitivity significantly higher th...

Abstract
Screening has been successful in the early detection of some cancers, including cervical, colon, and breast. However, the success in mortality reduction by screening mammography has been limited in women with mammographically dense tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging has been used with success in the...

Abstract
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a preinvasive malignancy that currently accounts for over 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancers in the US. This article reviews how clinical magnetic resonance imaging methods are being implemented for the detection, diagnosis and characterization of DCIS. Research...

Abstract
We compared the morphologic features of sperm using Papanicolaou staining and an automated Sperm Quality Analyzer IIC-P (SQA-IIC-P; Medical Electronic Systems, Caesarea, Israel) and evaluated the role of factors affecting these features in semen samples from 201 infertile men. The sensitivity of the...

Abstract
In Hungary, mortality rates from colorectal cancer are dramatically high, therefore the reduction by population screening as a public health measure is considered as one of the priorities of National Public Health Program. In the beginning, a human-specific immunological test was applied in the "mode...
