Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of enzyme Immunoassay with Immunofluorescence Assay for the Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Respiratory Tract Infections in ChildrenOsama Mohammed Saed Abdul-WahabMycoplasma pneumoniae is a frequent cause of acute respiratory infections in both children and adults. Currently, diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection will based principally on serology and the detection of IgM can provide an early and sensitive diagnosis in children. A variety of commercial immunodiagnostic assays, such as Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) assay and Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFA), are now available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2013 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison and Analysis of Vertical Coherence in the Shallow Water of Two ocean regionV. G. Sivakumar, V. Rajendran, R. SaranyaNoise characteristics at shallow water is highly variable due to wave guide nature of the shallow water environment, reflection of noise from the bottom surface; due to biological activities and also due the sound speed in shallow water vary substantially. Thus noise field characterization is complex in shallow water. The ambient noise data was collected in the shallow water of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Jun 2013 · 6,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasurement of Fibrinogen Concentration in the Plasma of Dogs: A Comparison Between Heat Precipitation and Modified Thrombin Clotting Time MethodLabrini V. Athanasiou, Theodoros A. Petanides, Manolis K. Chatzis, Manolis N. SaridomichelakisFibrinogen is a glycoprotein that plays a key role in blood clotting and is also a non-specific indicator of inflammation. The most widely used techniques for measuring plasma fibrinogen concentration include heat precipitation (Millar’s technique) and modified thrombin clotting time (Clauss method). Both techniques have been automated in a haematology analyzer (QBC-Vet Autoreader®, IDEXX; Millar’s technique) and in a newly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 May 2013 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
