What proportion of Salmonella Typhi cases are detected by blood culture? A systematic literature review

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2016
Blood culture is often used in definitive diagnosis of typhoid fever while, bone marrow culture has a greater sensitivity and considered reference standard. The sensitivity of blood culture measured against bone marrow culture results in measurement bias

Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug use and inflammatory markers associated with gallbladder dysplasia: A case–control analysis within a series of patients undergoing cholecystectomy

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 156, Issue 7, Page 1380-1392, 1 April 2025.
What's new? Gallbladder cancer is associated with inflammation, especially in the context of gallstones. However, little is known about the association between inflammation or the use of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and pre‐neoplastic lesions.

A rapid molecular approach to determining the occurrence of pathogen indicators in compost [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
An accurate method for enumerating pathogen indicators, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Salmonella spp. is important for assessing the safety of compost samples. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of pathogen indicators in compost samples by using a molecular approach known as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

Prolonged Fever in Children: An Inpatient Diagnostic Framework for Infections in Australia

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 532-539, April 2025.
ABSTRACT There are many causes of fever in children, ranging from common and self‐limiting to serious and life threatening. Careful assessment of children with prolonged fever without an obvious or identified source requires detailed history and examination with consideration of infections unique to the specific geographical region and individual ...

Accurate inference in negative binomial regression [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Negative binomial regression is commonly employed to analyze overdispersed count data. With small to moderate sample sizes, the maximum likelihood estimator of the dispersion parameter may be subject to a significant bias, that in turn affects inference on mean parameters.
