Area-sampling technique for quantitative pharyngeal cultures.
An area-sampling device for obtaining quantitative samples of the oropharyngeal bacterial flora is described and illustrative data are presented.
متن کاملA new nasal acoustic reflection technique to estimate pharyngeal cross-sectional area during sleep.
The conventional acoustic reflection technique in which acoustic waves are launched through the mouth cannot be applied during sleep, nor can it be applied to the nasopharynx, which is the major site of occlusion in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. We propose a new technique of nasal acoustic reflection to measure pharyngeal cross-sectional areas including the nasopharynx. The ac...
متن کاملQuantitative blood cultures for catheter-associated infections.
The recent studies by Paya et al. (2) concluded that quantitative blood cultures were not useful in diagnosing intravascular-device-related bacteremia associated with arterial, central venous, and pulmonary artery catheters. While obviously more work needs to be done on the value of aspiration through a catheter in the diagnosis of catheterassociated sepsis, a number of studies have found this ...
متن کاملAddress-based Area Sampling: An Efficient Hybrid between Address-based Sampling and Area Sampling
Cost savings in area sampling (AS) due to use of address-based sampling (ABS) frame for listing addresses without making field visits are appealing but may lead to coverage bias due to problems in implementing it because some addresses, such as P.O. boxes and rural routes, cannot be linked to housing units (HU). In an analogous manner, cost savings in ABS due to telephone interviewing instead o...
متن کاملCytobrush sampling technique
Chlamydiae are now commonly detected in genital tract specimens in routine diagnosis by direct immunofluorescence. Direct immunofluorescence is as sensitive and specific as conventional culture.' Studies in our laboratory also suggest that direct immunofluorescence may be a valuable test for cure.2 One of the problems encountered with direct immunofluorescence, as with culture, is the need for ...
