متن کاملA Review of Laboratory Methods for Measuring Oxidative Stress
Introduction: Antioxidant defense system, including enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, protects cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing oxidant compounds. Increasing the production of oxidant species and decrease activity of antioxidant system causes oxidative stress. The role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of human diseases and strengthening of human antioxidant defense sys...
متن کاملComparison of Two ELISA Methods for the Laboratory Diagnosis of Acute Leptospirosis
Background: Leptospirosis is the most common zoonosis widespread in tropical and temperate countries with low social-economic status. We aimed to compare an ELISA kit with an in-house ELISA assay to test the serum samples of the patients who were suspicious of leptospirosis according to their clinical symptoms. Methods: A total of 282 serum samples of patients suspicious of leptospirosis admitt...
متن کاملLaboratory methods in genitourinary medicine. Methods of diagnosing gonorrhoea.
Gonorrhoea is normally diagnosed presumptively by the presence of intracellular Gram-negative cocci on a Gram stain and confirmed by culture of the causative organism, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Alternative methods have been evaluated extensively for the detection of gonococci in clinical specimens including immunological techniques such as ELISA and immunofluorescence, DNA probes, genetic transfor...
