Routine Individual Feedback on Requests for Diagnostic Tests

Medical Decision Making, 1996
The authors assessed the economic consequences of routine individual feedback on test requests provided to 85 family physicians in a region with 187,000 inhabitants. In a retrospective study as part of a quasi-experiment, cost trends in a region where feedback was provided over a seven-year period were compared with cost trends elsewhere in The ...

Accuracy of routine diagnostic tests used in paracoccidioidomycosis patients at a university hospital.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2011
The identification of appropriate laboratory measures to confirm clinical hypotheses is important in routine paracoccidioidomycosis medical care. The clinical records and laboratory reports of 401 paracoccidioidomycosis patients attended at the Tropical Diseases Area, Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, from 1974 to 2008 were reviewed.

A quantitative HCV-PCR test for routine diagnostics

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1998
The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and simple method for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-PCR using standard, automated laboratory equipment. HCV-RNA was extracted from serum and amplified in a single PCR with an internal standard. The PCR product was detected using fluoroimmunoassay.

Thermography as a routine diagnostic for mechanical testing of composites

Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal, 2008
Active and passive infrared thermographies, techniques extensively used in NDE, can also be used to monitor mechanical tests of composite materials. These techniques permit a better understanding of the damage and ruin mechanisms. This is illustrated by the application of thermography to the tensile loading experiments of two sandwich coupons (carbon ...

Schmallenberg virus outbreak in the Netherlands: Routine diagnostics and test results

Veterinary Microbiology, 2013
At the end of 2011, a new Orthobunyavirus was discovered in Germany and named Schmallenberg virus (SBV). In the Netherlands malformations in new-born ruminants were made notifiable from the 20th of December 2011. After a notification, malformed new-borns were necropsied and brain tissue was sampled for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ...

Diagnostic Yield of Customized Exercise Provocation Following Routine Testing

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Clinical guidelines advocate for customization of exercise testing to address patient-specific diagnostic goals, including reproduction of presenting exertional symptoms. However, the diagnostic yield of adding customized exercise testing to graded exercise in patients presenting with exertional complaints has not been rigorously examined and is the ...
