Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

Detection of Fastidious Bacteria Causing Citrus Greening Disease by Nonradioactive DNA Probes. [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Phytopathology, 1999 The greening fastidious bacteria (GFB), also tentatively named Liberobacter, cause citrus greening disease. They unevenly inhabit the sieve tubes of host plants in low concentration. A highly sensitive and specific DNA probe, developed with DNA cloning methods has been used to detect GFB in infected citrus hosts.

In vitro culture of the fastidious bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in association with insect feeder cells [PDF]
, 2011 Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus (LAS) is vectored by psyllids and is able to proliferate inside the insect. We therefore hypothesize that insect cells could act like feeder cells, providing nutrients in a continuous way and a favorable environment to the ...

Evaluation of a proprietary broth medium for microdilution susceptibility testing of nutritionally fastidious bacteria [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1986 For microdilution susceptibility tests with nutritionally fastidious microorganisms, a new clear broth medium developed at Micro-Media Systems, Inc., Potomac, Md., was evaluated in a three-laboratory collaborative study. Replicate tests were performed with 80 isolates (51 Streptococcus spp., 27 Haemophilus influenzae isolates, and 2 Neisseria ...

A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.
