Imaging Characteristics of Pylorogastric, Duodenogastric, and True‐Gastrogastric Intussusception in 25 Dogs and One Cat

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Gastric intussusception in dogs and cats is uncommon, and there are multiple variations described in the literature. The aim of this study was to describe the imaging characteristics of pylorogastric (PG), duodenogastric (DG), and true‐gastrogastric (true‐GG) intussusceptions.

Serological Analysis of Human Leptospirosis in the Philippines [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 2001
AbstractLeptospirosis in the Philippines is an underrepresented disease. To achieve an accurate means of serodiagnosis, we demonstrated antibodies to the prevalent Leptospira serovars in sera of 71 patients from three major hospitals in Manila by the microscopic agglutination test and Western blot analysis.

Comparison between latex and microscopic agglutination test for detection of human leptospiral antibodies

Italian Journal of Medicine, 2016
Leptospirosis, notably Weil’s syndrome, is an often severe, acute febrile illness caused by microorganisms of the genus Leptospira. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the basic method for the sero-diagnosis of leptospirosis, as the test has a ...

Korat‐Scrub Typhus Score: A Clinical Tool for Predicting Scrub Typhus in Patients With Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1066-1072, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional
