a radiopharmaceutical is a radioactive compound used for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. radiopharmaceuticals are among the most highly regulated materials administered to patients because they are controlled both as drugs and as radioactive substances. the use of radiopharmaceuticals for any purpose is governed by regulatory agencies in different countries all over the world. ap...

background: oral cancer has emerged as a significant cause of global public health concern. if a cancerous lesion is diagnosed in primary stages, the survival rate would be higher. thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice of general dentist regarding oral cancer in sari, iran. methods: this cross sectional analytical study was performed on general dentists of...

hydatidosis, caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, is one of the most important zoonosis with worldwide distribution. as its diagnosis by clinical symptoms and scanning alone is difficult and confusing, we designed the present study to achieve a sensitive and simple diagnostic method for epidemiological studies. sera (250 samples) were collected from 90 cases of hydatidosis pro...

The use of molecular-based methods for the diagnosis of bacterial infections in blood is appealing, but they have not yet passed the threshold for clinical practice. A systematic review of prospective and case-control studies assessing the diagnostic utility of PCR directly with blood samples for the diagnosis of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) was performed. A broad search was conducted to...

BACKGROUND Most data on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing come from urologic cohorts comprised of volunteers for screening programs. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of PSA testing for detecting prostate cancer in community practice. METHODS PSA testing results were compared with a reference standard of prostate biopsy. Subjects were 2,620 men 40 years and older undergoing (PSA) tes...

Measures including sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values have been traditionally used to assess a diagnostic test's ability to detect the presence or absence of disease. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis allows visual evaluation of the trade-offs between sensitivity and specificity associated with different values of the test result, or diffe...

Optimized spaced seeds improve sensitivity and specificity in local homology search. Several authors have shown that multiple seeds can have better sensitivity and specificity than single seeds. We describe a linear programming (LP)-based algorithm to optimize a set of seeds. Theoretically, our algorithm offers a performance guarantee: the sensitivity of a chosen seed set is at least 70% of wha...

Cognitive and affective dysfunctions are frequent but often neglected symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). We developed the screening tool Parkinson neuropsychometric dementia assessment (PANDA) with five cognitive tasks and a short depression questionnaire. Healthy subjects and patients without cognitive impairment (PD), mild cognitive disorder (PD-MCD), or dementia (PDD) were examined. The c...
