Pollock Point - of - Care Liver Function Testing A Paper - Based Multiplexed Transaminase Test for Low - Cost
patients all over the world can be comfortably reassured of their health. without the long waits for results to return from centralized laboratories. With readouts obtained in near real time, Costing only pennies to make, these devices can be used at POC to inform clinicians of possible liver injury, whole blood when compared to standard measurement techniques. 90% accurate with both serum and ...
متن کاملA paper-based multiplexed transaminase test for low-cost, point-of-care liver function testing.
In developed nations, monitoring for drug-induced liver injury through serial measurements of serum transaminases [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] in at-risk individuals is the standard of care. Despite the need, monitoring for drug-related hepatotoxicity in resource-limited settings is often limited by expense and logistics, even for patients at highest ris...
متن کاملA New Goodness-of-Fit Test for a Distribution by the Empirical Characteristic Function
Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...
متن کاملA new liver function turbidity test.
The various liver flocculation tests proposed in recent years by several investigators cannot be considered as specific, hence clinicians tend to use many of them simultaneously. Obviously, the simplicity and the rapidity with which any one of these tests can be performed are essential advantages. The following new liver function turbidity test is simple and rapid, and is more sensitive than th...
متن کاملLow-Cost Microdevices for Point-of-Care Testing
Microdevices enable clinical diagnostics to be miniaturized for use at the point-of-care (POC). Microdevices can be composed of microfilters, microchannels, microarrays, micropumps, microvalves, and microelectronics, and these mechanical and electrical components can be integrated onto chips to analyze and control biological objects at the microscale. The miniaturization of diagnostic tests off...
