Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of A Rapid IgM-IgG Combined Antibody Test for SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Single Italian Center StudyKatia Margiotti, Marina Cupellaro, Sabrina Emili et al.The need for timely establishment of diagnostic assays of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is demanded in laboratories worldwide. We evaluated the performance of a flow immunoassay which can detect IgM an IgG antibodies simultaneously against SARS-CoV-2 virus in human blood within 15 min. Among the 132 positive novel Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) cases, 126 tests were consistent … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2020 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractONCObc-ST: An Improved Clinical Reasoning Algorithm Based on Select and Test (ST) Algorithm for Diagnosing Breast CancerOlaide Nathaniel Oyelade, Sunday Adeyemi AdewuyiThe need for an accurate reasoning algorithm is usually necessitated by the sensitivity of domain of (medicine as example) application of such algorithms. Most reasoning algorithms for medical diagnosis are either limited by their techniques or accuracy and efficiency. Even the Select and Test (ST) algorithm which is considered a more approximate reasoning algorithm is also limited by its approach … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2019 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Modeling of Temperature Extremes Behaviour in GhanaTwumasi-Ankrah Sampson, Nyantakyi Agyei KwadwoThis paper focuses on modeling the extreme maximum temperature in Ghana using the extreme value theory. This is to inform decision-makers to help them plan appropriate risk mitigating measures to reduce the damage caused by drought. The block maxima with Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and the General Pareto (GP) (with “all excesses” and decluster peaks) were used on 113 years … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2019 · 7,117 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSex-Based and Age-Specific Trends in Gardnerella vaginalis Infection: An Epidemiological Study in Republic of Korea, 2018-2022Hyeok-Jin Kwon, Sun-Gyu Kim, Junmin Lee et al.Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are an important global public health issue caused by various pathogens. STI symptoms can manifest at different times, depending on the sex, age, and infection route. Here, we aimed to assess the occurrence of STIs in the Republic of Korea, explore associated global trends, and identify pathogens with high positivity rates to inform future health policies. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 29 Jan 2026 · 1,928 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEchocardiography in Infective Endocarditis: An Update on its Usefulness: How, When, How Much and Where?Josep Maria Frigola, Sergio Moral, Pau Vilardell, Ramon BrugadaEchocardiography is the main imaging technique in the diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis (IE). In 85-90% of cases this diagnosis is based on some echocardiographic criteria. Transthoracic echocardiography is an inexpensive test, quickly accessible without side effects, which has become the initial imaging technique of choice in the diagnosis of IE, as well as in the assessment of complications and follow-up. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2021 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractLessons Learned: Barriers to Hemoglobin A1c Monitoring in Rural Northern TanzaniaAndrea Fortson Knopp, Erika Metzler SawinIn sub-Saharan countries, Non-communicable Chronic Diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, are on the rise. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a Point Of Care (POC) diagnostic tool for diabetic monitoring that is unavailable in many resource-constrained environments worldwide. Theoretically, HbA1c measurement is practical in these settings because fasting is not required, the test is not generally repeated before 120 days and travel time … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2021 · 6,228 accessesView PDFCite
