Whole-Blood Testing for Diagnosis of Acute Zika Virus Infections in Routine Diagnostic Setting [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We evaluated the benefit of whole blood versus plasma to detect acute Zika virus infections. Comparison of Zika virus quantitative reverse transcription PCR results in single timepoint whole blood-plasma pairs from 227 patients with suspected Zika virus infection resulted in confirmation of 8 additional patients with Zika virus infection.

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.

Urinary ATP and visualization of intracellular bacteria: a superior diagnostic marker for recurrent UTI in renal transplant recipients? [PDF]

, 2014
Renal transplant recipients (RTR) are highly susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTIs) with over 50% of patients having at least one UTI within the first year.

Basophil Activation Test Using Recombinant Allergens: Highly Specific Diagnostic Method Complementing Routine Tests in Wasp Venom Allergy

PLoS ONE, 2014
Background Skin testing can expose allergic subjects to potential systemic reactions, sensitization against unrelated proteins, and increased risk of future sting reactions. Therefore the continuous improvement of in vitro diagnostic methods is desirable.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Diagnosing brain tumours by routine blood tests using machine learning

Scientific Reports, 2019
Routine blood test results are assumed to contain much more information than is usually recognised even by the most experienced clinicians. Using routine blood tests from 15,176 neurological patients we built a machine learning predictive model for the ...

The diagnostic value of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody testing in a routine clinical setting [PDF]

QJM, 2001
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) tests are a routine clinical assay in most UK hospitals. We examined the role of routine ANCA testing in achieving a diagnosis of systemic vasculitis in a routine clinical setting. From April 1996 to March 2000, 2734 samples from five hospital departments were tested for ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence ...

Cellular liquid biopsy provides unique chances for disease monitoring, preclinical model generation and therapy adjustment in rare salivary gland cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

Overnight Dexamethasone Suppression Test in the Diagnosis of Cushing's Disease

Acta Medica Iranica, 2010
Realizing the cause of Cushing's Syndrome (CS) is one of the most challenging processes in clinical endocrinology. The long high dose dexamethasone suppression test (standard test) is costly and need an extended inpatient stay.

Routine use of viscoelastic blood tests for diagnosis and treatment of coagulopathic bleeding in cardiac surgery: updated systematic review and meta-analysis

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Viscoelastic point-of-care tests are commonly used to provide prompt diagnosis of coagulopathy and allow targeted treatments in bleeding patients. We updated existing meta-analyses that have evaluated the clinical effectiveness of viscoelastic point-of ...
