ELISA Cut-off Point for the Diagnosis of Human Brucellosis; a Comparison with Serum Agglutination Test
Background: Brucellosis is a world-wide disease, which has a diverse clinical manifestation, and its diagnosis has to be proven by laboratory data. Serum agglutination test (SAT) is the most-widely used test for diagnosing brucellosis. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can also determine specific antibody classes against brucella. It is a sensitive, simple and rapid test, which coul...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Morse Fall Scale in hospitalised patients.
Sir—Several risk factors associated with falls in hospitalised patients have been identified [1, 2]. Although a substantial number of assessment instruments for identifying hospitalised patients at risk of falling exists [3], their generalisability is limited [4] because only a few [2, 5] have been tested in settings other than those in which they were originally developed. The Morse Fall Scale...

متن کاملOptimal cut‐off point of waist circumference for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in Japanese subjects
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been redefined by a new criterion in Japan, in which waist circumference cut-off points, that is 85 cm for men and 90 cm for women, are used; however, objections are rising against this criterion. The present study examined the criterion for waist circumference to predict the accumulation of the components of MetS. In the present study, we used data for 5972 Japane...
