Minimizing quantification uncertainty in nanoplasmonic platforms: Multifunctional MoS2‐integration for precise biomarker determination

InfoMat, EarlyView.
The multifunctional integration of MoS2 into the SERS platform addresses key limitations in accurate quantification. Atomically thin MoS2 reduces spot‐to‐spot variations via plasmonic calibration and improves quantification reliability by ensuring consistent signal changes with analyte concentration.

Spot Urine Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio Compared with Dipstick Proteinuria as a Primary Screening Tool for Renal Disease in a Community Setting

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2021
The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) advocates the use of dipstick proteinuria as a primary screening tool. However, the performance of dipstick urinary for proteinuria has been adjudged to be weak, unreliable with poor predictive value.

Correlation Between Bladder Debris and Abnormal Urinalysis: Health Warnings and Research Prospects in Elderly Patients

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ultrasound‐detected bladder debris is hypothesized to reflect urinary tract inflammation or infection, yet its clinical significance in older adults, a population with high asymptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) rates and diagnostic challenges, remains poorly characterized.

Asymptomatic dipstick haematuria [PDF]

Trends in Urology, Gynaecology & Sexual Health, 2008
AbstractAlthough routine urinalysis for haematuria is not recommended, patients may have a dipstick test for other reasons. The authors provide guidance to help GPs in the management of these incidental findings, as, once found, dipstick haematuria is difficult to ignore. Copyright © 2008 Wiley Interface Ltd.

Evaluation of reagent strips for ascitic fluid leukocyte determination: is it a possible alternative for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis rapid diagnosis?

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
In order to evaluate the accuracy of a urine reagent dipstick (Multistix 10SG®) to determine ascitic fluid leukocyte count, we prospectively studied 106 cirrhotic patients from April 2003 to December 2004, in two different centers (Federal University of ...
