Role of circulating fibrocytes in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. [PDF]

BJS Open, 2020
The circulating fibrocyte percentage is increased in patients with acute appendicitis. This may improve diagnostics, and reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and surgical operations. Circulating fibrocyte percentage may help in diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Background Improved diagnostic biomarkers are required for acute appendicitis.

Sensitivity of a Hymenoptera serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E assay for the diagnosis of venom hypersensitivity in dogs

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 543-553, December 2023., 2023
Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Detection and Inhibition of IgE for cross‐reactive carbohydrate determinants evident in an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay for detection of allergen‐specific IgE in the sera of dogs and cats

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 439-e116, December 2020., 2020
Background It has been demonstrated recently that immunoglobulin (Ig)E specific for cross‐reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD) is present in the serum of allergen‐sensitized dogs and cats, and that these CCD‐specific antibodies might confound serological testing. Hypothesis/Objective The objective was to document the prevalence of CCD detectable in

Relapsing polychondritis with isolated tracheal involvement and airway‐only symptoms

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, October 2020., 2020
We describe an atypical case of relapsing polychondritis that involved solely the tracheal cartilages and presented clinically as non‐specific airway symptoms. Timely diagnosis and treatment through a multidisciplinary approach is crucial to prevent subsequent serious complications.

Discrepancies in the bilateral intradermal test and serum tests in atopic horses

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 390-e104, October 2020., 2020
Background – In equine atopic patients intradermal testing (IDT) and immunoglobulin (Ig)E serology are used frequently. There is little evidence regarding the reproducibility of the IDT and IgE serology in horses. Objectives – To compare the results of a simultaneously performed IDT on the left and right side of the neck in atopic horses, and to ...

Development and Application of an ELISA Assay Using Excretion/Secretion Proteins from Epimastigote Forms of T. cruzi (ESEA Antigens) for the Diagnosis of Chagas Disease

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
An indirect enzyme‐linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) for Trypanosoma cruzi was developed using epimastigote secretion/excretion proteins (ESEA antigens) obtained from axenic culture supernatants. A panel of 120 serum samples from subjects with confirmed Chagas disease (n = 50), healthy controls (n = 50), and patients with other parasitic diseases (n
