Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is an environmental bacillus found in northeast Thailand. The mortality rate of melioidosis is ∼40%. An indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) is used as a reference serodiagnostic test; however, it has low specificity in areas where the background seropositivity of healthy people is high. To improve assay specificity and reduce the ...

More than 400 serotypes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been implicated in outbreaks and sporadic human diseases. In recent years STEC strains belonging to serogroup O178 have been commonly isolated from cattle and food of bovine origin in South America and Europe. In order to explore the significance of these STEC strains as potential human pathogens, 74 German and Argent...

Primary hyperaldosteronism (PH) is frequently considered to be a secondary form of diabetes mellitus (DM). In our previous study we attempted to evaluate the prevalence of DM among patients with PH compared to control subjects with essential hypertension (EH). We have noted a relatively high prevalence of DM and impaired glucose tolerance in PH, but the differences between the PH and EH groups ...

Isolated hepatic actinomycosis (IHA) is a rare infectious disease, which presents as a space-occupying lesion. We present a case of pathologically proven liver actinomycosis. Ultrasonography and computed tomography scan revealed a large solitary liver mass. The mild heterogeneously enhancing mass appeared as a hypointense area on a T1-weighted image and as a hyperintense area on a T2-weighted i...

Hydrologic alternation of river systems is an essential factor human activity. Cascade-dammed waters are characterized by the disturbed outflow material from catchment. Changes in sediment, dissolved load and nutrient balance among base indicators water resource monitoring. This research was based on use hydrological quality data (1984–2017) Indicators Alteration (IHA) method to determine influ...

Serological test based on IHA (Indirect Haemagglutination Method) was performed in 100 cases of hepatic abscess. The test was 100% sensitive and 94% specific. The cut off point of antibody titer between normal population and patients with invasive amoebiasis was 1:128. Antibody titer in amoebic liver abscess was 1:5242 +/- 2795. A significant (P less than 0.001) correlation was found between to...

PURPOSE To determine the interaction between corneal topographic and tomographic parameters and dry eye syndrome (DES) in keratoconus (KC) patients. METHODS Seventy-seven eyes of 49 patients with KC (age 34.4 ± 11.6 years) were enrolled in this study. In these 77 eyes we recorded surface regularity index (SRI), surface asymmetry index (SAI) and Klyce/Maeda KC index (KCI) using the Topographic...

OBJECTIVE Recovery times of cognitive functions were examined after exposure to hypoglycemia in people with diabetes with and without impaired hypoglycemia awareness. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 36 subjects with type 1 diabetes were studied (20 with normal hypoglycemia awareness [NHA] and 16 with impaired hypoglycemia awareness [IHA]). A hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp was used to l...
