Associations between prior wasting malnutrition and indices of insulin secretion and sensitivity among six cohorts from Asia and Africa: The SAMPA study

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The role of prior wasting malnutrition (PM) in determining insulin sensitivity and secretion in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) remains unclear. We investigated associations of insulin indices with PM and whether these were modified by current body mass index (BMI).

Comparison of Urine Dipstick Nitrite Test with Urine Culture in the Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infection

Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2021
Introduction: Urine dipstick is a rapid, cost-effective test used as a marker for quick detection of bacterial Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Nitrite test depends on the conversion of nitrate to nitrite by the action of Gramnegative bacteria present in ...

Eosinophilia and Hypereosinophilia: A Practical Approach to Navigating a Broad Differential Diagnosis

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...

Dipstick Spot urine pH does not accurately represent 24 hour urine PH measured by an electrode [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives To determine whether spot urine pH measured by dipstick is an accurate representation of 24 hours urine pH measured by an electrode. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed urine pH results of patients who presented to the urology

Dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity are unreliable.

, 2001
AIM: To evaluate the reliability of dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity (U-SG). METHODS: Fresh urine specimens were tested for urine pH and osmolality (U-pH, U-Osm) by a pH meter and an osmometer, and for U-SG by three different methods ...

Overprescribing antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria in older adults: a case series review of admissions in two UK hospitals

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2019
Background Overdiagnosis and overtreatment of urinary tract infection (UTI) with antibiotics is a concern. In older adults, diagnosis of UTI using near-patient urine tests (reagent strip tests, dipsticks) is advised against because the age-related ...

Metabolic health, independent of body mass index, is associated with mortality risk in type 1 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In type 1 diabetes, mortality was highest in metabolically unhealthy underweight patients, and metabolic unhealthiness was associated with higher cardiovascular disease risk across all BMI categories. Comprehensive metabolic management is needed. ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Although a low body mass index (BMI) is traditionally associated with high ...

Catheter‐Associated Urinary Tract Infections in Children: An Evidence‐Informed Narrative Review of Diagnosis, Management and Prevention

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are a common healthcare‐associated infection in children and a major contributor to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. This narrative review uses an evidence‐informed approach highlighting recent paediatric literature (2000–2025) to provide an overview

Reevaluating the true diagnostic accuracy of dipstick tests to diagnose urinary tract infection using Bayesian latent class analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
ObjectivePrevious studies on diagnostic accuracy of dipstick testing for leukocyte esterase (LE) and nitrite to diagnose urinary tract infection (UTI) had used urine culture, which is an imperfect gold standard.
