a new competitive immunochromatography (icg) strip test based on polyclonal antibody (pab) conjugated with gold nanoparticles (nps) was developed and its applications for primary screening of immunoglobulin (ig) a in serum were evaluated. nanocolloidal gold as the detection reagent, with an average particle diameter of 20 nm, was synthesized and labelled pab. the antibody-nanocolloidal gold pro...

Method: The informed consent was obtained and samples were collected from two groups. Each group consists of 60 samples. The first group involved known HIV positive patients. The second group involved the control group of patients who were above 18 years of age and patients who were found negative by rapid assay test.

Documentation of rotavirus diarrhea in a rural, resource-poor setting is a difficult task. We analyzed stool samples of 103 children admitted for acute diarrhea in a pediatric hospital in Bijnor, UP, India, using a simple bedside immunochromatography kit. Rotavirus infection was detected in 47 out of total of 103 children (45.6%).

In many daily-life scenarios, acoustic sources recorded in an enclosure can only be observed with other interfering sources. Hence, convolutive Blind Source Separation (BSS) is a central problem audio signal processing. Methods based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are especially important this field as they require few and weak assumptions allow for blindness regarding the original sou...

dissection of the internal carotid artery (ica) is a rare condition that accounts for a significant proportion of ischemic strokes in young adults. iatrogenic dissection as a complication of neurointerventional procedures is a traumatic dissection which has been reported relatively rare in the literature. in this report, a case of dissection of the ica is reported that was caused by repetitive ...

The present study was conducted to detect prevalence and risk factors for retrovirus infection of infected cats in a cat population in Iran, by evaluation of 238 client-owned cats of different ages that were tested for the presence of FIV antibodies. The cats were selected from those referring to Veterinary Hospital of Ahvaz University, southwestern Iran from December 2007 to June 2010. Classif...
