Clinical utility of a complete diagnostic protocol for the ocular evaluation of free-living raptors.
OBJECTIVE To describe a protocol for the examination of free-living raptors and report the ophthalmic examination findings of seven raptor species native to central Illinois, namely the barred owl, Cooper's hawk, eastern screech owl, great horned owl, American kestrel, red-tailed hawk, and turkey vulture and to determine if the findings relative to visual prognosis affected eligibility for fu...
متن کاملSensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis
Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 neonates admitted to NIC...
متن کاملPrevalence and antibiotic-resistance characteristics of Enterococcus spp. Isolated from free-living and captive raptors in Central Illinois.
Due to their predatory nature, raptor species may serve as important indicators of environmental contamination with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Raptors prey on small rodents and birds that have diverse habitat ranges, including urban and rural environments, and their intestinal microflora can reflect that of the animals on which they feed. Enterococcus spp. were selected as target organis...
متن کاملMicrobiological Diagnosis of Mumps
Mumps virus infection is normally diagnosed by serologic testing. Identification of mumps-specific IgM antibodies in serum or plasma by enzyme immunoassay analysis (EIA) in samples taken during the acute phase is the most-widely used serologic test for the diagnosis of mumps, due to its simplicity, high sensitivity and specificity. When the infection cannot be confirmed by serologic tests, the ...
متن کاملMicrobiological diagnosis of gonorrhoea.
Gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This is a delicate and fastidious organism which dies rapidly if exposed to desiccating or oxidising conditions and requires a moist carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere and a nutrient medium if it is to be cultured successfully. For these reasons diagnosis by culture was regarded as difficult and uncertain, but many decades ago the problems were ove...
