Rapid painless diagnosis of viral respiratory infection.
The concordance of nasal compared with nasopharyngeal swabs was assessed for the diagnosis of respiratory viral infections, and the degree of discomfort associated with each procedure was compared. The use of nasal swabs was shown to be as accurate but significantly less painful than nasopharyngeal swabs for virus diagnosis.
متن کاملRapid sequence-based diagnosis of viral infection.
With globalization of microbial threats and an increasing appreciation for the role of infection in chronic as well as acute diseases, there is burgeoning interest in the development of specific antiviral drugs. Less attention has been focused on the establishment and implementation of rapid viral diagnostic methods, without which it will not be possible to obtain the full benefit of new therap...
متن کاملElectron microscopy in rapid viral diagnosis: an update.
Diagnostic electron microscopy (DEM) has conceptual predecessors â€" the application of the sense of vision and of light microscopy in medicine. The evolvement of DEM and the role of its two branches - histopathology and rapid negative-contrast DEM - are described in this review, with a focus on the latter. By its resolving power of 2 nm in praxi, DEM is able to visualize all kinds of pathogens...
متن کاملMalnutrition: missed opportunities for diagnosis.
INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is a serious public health problem particularly in developing countries where it is responsible for 54% of under 5s mortality. Anthropometric measurements are key tools for the assessment of nutritional status and diagnosis of malnutrition. Height and weight measurements are not routinely done in most clinics and hospitals in Ghana. Children therefore miss the opportun...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
