Slide screening test for glandular fever.

The rapid slide agglutination test in the diagnosis of typhoid fevers and typhus.

Of 10,000 sera examined for infectious diseases by both the rapid slide agglutination and the tube agglutination tests, 128 were found positive for typhus fever and 257 for typhoid and paratyphoid infections. Of 84 of the last mentioned cases of typhoid and paratyphoid, which were confirmed by cultural examination, 45 (53.5%) were negative to the tube test, whereas only one (1.2%) was negative ...

Estimating average glandular dose in routine mammography screening using neural network

Given the extensive use of common mammography tests for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer, there are concerns over the increased dose absorbed by the patient due to the sensitivity of the breast tissue. Thus, knowing the Mean Glandular Dose (MGD) before radiation to the patient through its estimation can be helpful. For this reason, the MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network model wa...

Steroid therapy in glandular fever.
