Molecular and nonmolecular diagnostic methods for invasive fungal infections.
Invasive fungal infections constitute a serious threat to an ever-growing population of immunocompromised individuals and other individuals at risk. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as histopathology and culture, which are still considered the gold standards, have low sensitivity, which underscores the need for the development of new means of detecting fungal infectious agents. Indeed, nove...

این پایان نامه بدنبال بررسی کاربرد ارزیابی مستمر در یک محیط یادگیری زبان دوم از طریق طرح چهار سوال تحقیق زیر بود: (1) درک توانایی های فراگیران زمانیکه که از طریق برآورد عملکرد مستقل آنها امکان پذیر نباشد اما در طول جلسات ارزیابی مستمر مشخص شوند; (2) امکان تقویت توانایی های فراگیران از طریق ارزیابی مستمر; (3) سودمندی ارزیابی مستمر در هدایت آموزش فردی به سمتی که به منطقه ی تقریبی رشد افراد حساس ا...
15 صفحه اولDiagnostic Imaging for Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System
A 31-year-old female heart transplant recipient was admitted to the hospital for a recent history of progressively worsening headaches. Her past medical history included doxorubicin (Adriamycin)-induced cardiomyopathy and cisplatin-induced nephropathy secondary to a nonrecurrent osteosarcoma that occurred in 1982; in 1991, she underwent orthotopic heart transplantation. After transplantation (a...
متن کاملLaboratory diagnosis of fungal infections
Selection of appropriate specimens for culture and microscopic examination is based on the results of clinical and radiographic examination and consideration of the most likely fungal pathogen that may cause such an infection. Specimens should be collected under aseptic conditions or after appropriate cleaning and decontamination of the collection site and rapidly transported to the clinical my...
متن کاملDiagnostic Nucleic Acid Testing for Invasive Fungal Infections
Over the past 2 decades, there has been an alarming increase in opportunistic fungal infections with an associated rise in morbidity and mortality. This trend has been attributed to the growing number of patients who are immunocompromised because of bone marrow or solid organ transplant, immunosuppressive drugs, AIDS, and hematological malignancies. Advances in trauma and critical care medicine...
