Rapid Gelatin Liquefaction Test
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1974A modification of Hoyt and Pickett’s rapid gelatinase test4 was evaluated. The results obtained with 3,357 isolates indicate this test should be a reliable adjunct of assistance in the rapid identification of Gram-negative bacilli.

This Horizon Scan summarizes available information regarding rapid point-of-care testing for the detection of Treponema pallidum, the bacteria that causes syphilis. Rapid point-of-care testing to screen people for a possible case of syphilis allows health care providers to screen people where they are, rather than relying on people’s ...

HIV testing identifies HIV-positive persons, allowing for reduced future HIV transmission while simultaneously providing policy makers with surveillance data to inform policy planning. If current costs of HIV testing were reduced, these funds could be redirected to increase testing rates or to expand treatment. The cost of testing is lowered and impact

Rapid Approximate Intelligence Test
American Journal of Psychiatry, 1967A Rapid Approximate Intelligence Test consisting of a series of mathematical computations is described. This test has been standardized against the WAIS. The main conclusions which may be inferred from its use are outlined. The advantages of the test are brevity, as it can be administered in two or three minutes, and the fact that no equipment is ...

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2005
A variety of antigen-capture assays are commercially available for the detection of influenza. In addition, real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to detect influenza A and B in clinical specimens. The commercial assays can be completed in less than 30 minutes and have a sensitivity of at least 70% and a specificity of 90 ...

Pediatrics, 1996
Roddey et al have reported an important study on the sensitivity and specificity of the Strep A OIA test compared with two culture techniques—5% sheep blood agar and Todd-Hewitt broth—in an office practice setting. They found the sensitivity and specificity of OIA as compared with sheep blood culture to be 91.4% and 95.6%, and compared with the broth ...
