Accuracy of four rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for human leptospirosis diagnosis in Indonesia

Microbiology Spectrum
Leptospirosis is an endemic zoonotic disease with protean clinical manifestations caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the Leptospira genus. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the gold standard for leptospirosis diagnosis and can only be ...

Utility of Microwave Processing in Plasma-Thromboplastin Method of Cell Block Prepared from Fine Needle Aspirates [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: Cell Blocks (CBs) in cytology complement routine smears and increase diagnostic accuracy. However, routine processing of CBs on an average varies between 12-18 hours, thereby delaying the additional information it can provide.

The Fate (Outcome) of Clinically Apparent Single Lesion and Oligofocal Nephroblastomatosis Treated According to SIOP/GPOH Protocols for Wilms Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The management of clinically apparent single lesions or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis, a facultative precursor of nephroblastoma, remains debated. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients with clinically apparent single or oligofocal nephroblastomatosis (two to three lesions per kidney) among 2347 patients registered between

A vine copula mixed effect model for trivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting for disease prevalence [PDF]

, 2015
A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that it is superior to the standard generalized linear mixed model in this context.
