Diagnostic performance of the urinary deoxypyridinoline in spinal tuberculosis.
This study investigated the diagnostic significance of urinary deoxypyridinoline measurement as a screening tool for spinal tuberculosis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Urinary deoxypyridinoline levels were measured by automated chemiluminescence immunoassay and automated chemistry methods in patients with spinal (n=33) and pulmonary tuberculosis (n=33) and in healthy controls (n=30). U...
متن کاملAllele-specific PCR for a cost-effective & time-efficient diagnostic screening of spinal muscular atrophy
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Genetic diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is complicated by the presence of SMN2 gene as majority of SMA patients show absence or deletion of SMN1 gene. PCR may amplify both the genes non selectively in presence of high amount of DNA. We evaluated whether allele-specific PCR for diagnostic screening of SMA is reliable in the presence of high amount of genomic DN...
متن کاملEvaluation of a novel PCR-based diagnostic assay for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples.
We report on a PCR-based assay we have developed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples. One hundred sputum specimens, which included 34 culture-positive and 66 culture-negative specimens, were evaluated with this system. Of the 34 culture-positive specimens, 31 were PCR positive, and 60 of the culture-negative specimens were PCR negative. An internal standard has bee...
متن کاملdesigning a fast locking pll
a phase-locked loop (pll) based frequency synthesizer is an important circuit that is used in many applications, especially in communication systems such as ethernet receivers, disk drive read/write channels, digital mobile receivers, high-speed memory interfaces, system clock recovery and wireless communication system. other than requiring good signal purity such as low phase noise and low spu...
Anterior spinal surgery alone in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis: a prospective study
Background: One of the important sites for extrapulmonary TB involvement is the skeleton. Tuberculous spondylitis (Pott’s disease) comprises 50-70% of the skeletal tuberculosis. Methods: In this case series study, we prospectively investigated the result of anterior surgery alone (anterior debridement, fusion and instrumentation) in the patients with spinal tuberculosis. The patients with imma...
