Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIs Wright Test an Appropriate Screening Test for Diagnosis of Brucellosis?Behzad Mohsenpour, Shahla Afrasiabian, Katayoon Hajibagheri, Ebrahim GhaderiProblem statement: Diagnosis of brucellosis is generally based on culture, polymerase chain reaction and serology. The first two methods are not accessible in all parts of world and are expensive. The routine method for diagnosis of brucellosis is considering Wright test as the first screening test; if the results are Wright positive’ Wright would be the next choice otherwise 2ME … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 16,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMosaic Masonries to Interpret Diagnostic Test ResultsRamalingam ShanmugamCurrently, assessing superiority of a diagnostic test requires cumbersome calculations and confusing interpretations because of nonlinear Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC). To remedy these difficulties, this article prepares, provides an easier alternate geometric approach. That is, a simple but more effective visual approach with two complementary mosaic masonries are constructed with their properties, superimposed and utilized. First masonry is conditional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite

We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 18 Dec 2025 · 2,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Diagnostic Tests for Fosfomycin Resistance Detection in Clinically Significant EnterobacteralesSantoshi Maruti Naik, Biranthabail Dhanashree, Himani KotianMultidrug resistance in Enterobacterales has triggered interest in old antibiotics like fosfomycin. Various methods to determine fosfomycin resistance are time-consuming and yield unpredictable results. Hence, the study was undertaken to compare the rapid fosfomycin NP test with the recommended agar dilution test and few other tests. In this cross-sectional, time-bound, prospective study, Enterobacterales (N = 110) were tested for their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 21 Nov 2025 · 2,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison 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 · 7,412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Serological Gastric Biopsy: A Non-endoscopical/Histopathologic Diagnostic Approach in Management of the Dyspeptic PatientsR. A.K. Mahmoud, H. H. Morcos, A. A. Hegazi et al.Objective: To asses the sensitivity, specificity and the predictive value of a 'gastropanel' blood test, including serum pepsinogen I (S-PGI) and amidated gastrin-17 (S-G-17) in the diagnosis of atrophic gastritis most probably due to helicobacter pylori (Hp) and to compare the results of serology with the endoscopic/histopathologic findings as a gold standard diagnostic tool. This study comprised 86 dyspeptic outpatients … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
