Role of Dermatoglyphics as a Diagnostic Tool in Medical Disorders

Dermatoglyphics: A Diagnostic Tool to Predict Diabetes

Dermatoglyphics: a diagnostic aid?

With the demonstration of a strong genetic component in ridge counts by Sarah Holt (eg, Holt, 1961), which came as the culmination of a large number of early exploratory papers on the inheritance of dermatoglyphic traits (summarized in Cummins and Midlo, 1961), the relationship of finger and palm prints with genetic disease was an obvious topic for exploration. During the last decade a number o...

Effectiveness of the Quick Medical Reference as a diagnostic tool.

A number of computer-based systems with diagnostic capabilities have been developed for internal medicine. Quick Medical Reference (QMR) is one such program. The authors describe key features of QMR and report on their study of its effectiveness as a diagnostic tool. They investigated how frequently the correct diagnosis would appear among the 5 highest ranked diagnoses generated by QMR. The ch...

Saliva As a Diagnostic Tool in Covid 19 Detection, A Review

Background and Aim: Delayed detection of SARS-CoV-2 has been a major hindrance in curbing the current COVID-19 pandemic. Wide spread testing is the most practical way out of the current crisis. The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal swabs. However, collecting nasopharyngea...

A novel chimeric recombinant protein PDHB-P80 of Mycoplasma agalactiae as a potential diagnostic tool

The aim of this study was to construct, expression of a novel recombinant chimeric protein consisting of Pyruvate dehydrogenase beta subunit (PDHB) and high antigenic region of integral membrane lipoprotein P80 of Mycoplasma agalactiae as a potential diagnostic tool. The full-length sequence of pdhb and a portion of antigenic regions of P80 were selected and analyzed by CLC ma...
