We read with great interest the recent article by Teichmann et al. [1], who presented results of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) accuracy to differentiate typical (amnestic) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from other neurodegenerative diseases. The authors assessed FCSRT in a group of 992 individuals, most of them with the diagnosis of AD, and stated that FCSRT would have a sensitiv...

A commonly used estimate of a screening test's sensitivity, based on the prevalence at screening and the incidence of interval cancers, is shown to be logically unsound and quantitatively poor. An alternative simple estimate is proposed, based only on incidence rates.

While technology is changing the face of the world, it itself is changing by leaps and bounds; there is a continuing trend to put more functionality on the same piece of silicon. Without major changes in the CMOS technology, it has been shown that the scaling of devices has signi cant impact on the e ectiveness of Iddq testing. The sensitivity of Iddq testing to individual device parameters is ...

BACKGROUND A vestibulospinal test known as the Fukuda stepping test (FST) has been suggested to be a measure of asymmetrical labyrinthine function. However, an extensive review of the performance of this test to identify a peripheral vestibular lesion has not been reported. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the standard FST and a head shaking...

An in situ enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to measure in vitro development of Eimeria tenella. The assay used a polyclonal, anti-merozoite serum produced by immunization with culture-derived, chromatographically purified merozoites. Although this antiserum cross-reacted with sporozoite-infected cultures (by indirect immunofluorescence and in situ enzyme-linked immunosorbent assa...

Streptomyces sp. WK-2955, a soil isolate, was found to produce a series of new anticoccidial compounds. Four active compounds, designated diolmycins A1, A2, B1 and B2, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the producing strain by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC. Diolmycins inhibited the growth of Eimeria tenella...

A decision making tool is proposed to evaluate assembly costs of microproducts (< 1 dm) and to compare different assembly strategies for a given product or product family. The tool takes into account equipment costs as well as running costs, for manual and automatic assembly. Its specificity lies in its ability to deal with different production mixes and production volumes over the life cycle o...

Coccidiosis is an infectious parasitic disease of poultry which causes heavy economic losses to commercial industry. has been generally controlled by using different synthetic anticoccidial drugs but, due development resistance these this method losing its effectiveness. Exploration novel and alternative compounds against avian coccidiosis need time now a days. In regard, medicinal plants can s...
