Background: Brucellosis is one of the endemic and a Zoonotic disease of the Iran. Science the rapid diagnosis and quick treatment are very important, selection of a sensitive and specific test solving this problem is of a great importance. The main aim of this study is comparison of routine serologic test with standard Elisa test. Materials and methods: In this survey, 176 suspected patient...

OBJECTIVE To determine erythrocyte phenotyping in blood donors and patients with sickle cell anemia (SS) treated at Hemocentro of Alagoas and describe the frequency and factors associated with erythrocyte alloimmunization. METHODS Cross-sectional study with 102 SS patients and 100 blood donors. The following tests were performed: erythrocyte phenotyping, Direct and Indirect antiglobulin test,...

The TRIUMF Weak Interaction Symmetry Test (TWIST) experiment has measured the spectrum of positrons from muon decay and determined the decay parameters: ρ = 0.75014 ± 0.00017(stat.) ± 0.00044(syst.) ± 0.00011(η), δ = 0.75067 ± 0.00030(stat.) ± 0.00067(syst.), P π µ ξ = 1.0003 ± 0.0006(stat.) ± 0.0038(syst.). The results are in good agreement with the Standard Model. Future prospects for this me...

The antiglobulin consumption test of Steffen (1954) has been adapted for the detection of Brucella antibodies in human serum. This screening method takes approximately two hours to complete and sera which give a negative result need no further investigations, whilst positive sera should be fully tested by the conventional Brucella serology technique.

A study of the intelligence of unmarried mothers who had been admitted to a home for unfortunate girls over a period of four years was published in 1929 by McClure and Goldberg.1 The study was based on the results of the Stanford-Binet test given to 84 girls. Eighty-seven had been examined but the scores of three were eliminated because of language difficulties. Since 1929 an additional number ...

Using Tukey-Kramer versus the ANOVA F-test as the omnibus test of the Hayter-Fisher procedure for comparing all pairs of normally distributed means, when sample sizes are unequal, is investigated. Simulation results suggest that using Tukey-Kramer leads to as much or more any-pairs power compared to using the F-test for certain patterns of mean differences, and equivalent per-pair and all-pairs...

The Color Stroop Test is consensually considered as a task to assess the efficiency of inhibitory mechanisms. If the Stroop interference effect is largely undisputed, it is also acknowledged that the size of this effect varies as a function of various task manipulations, such as the task format. The aim of the present study was to compare the size of adult age-related differences in inhibition ...

A Monark cycle ergometer is used in physiological studies to measure work done and power. In this paper, the accuracy of a Monark rope-braked cycle ergometer was examined for a Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT). The traditional method of determining brake torque fails to take into account rope-brake theory and, as the brake torque is used to determine the moment of inertia of the flywheel, a second...

background leptospirosis is a systemic infectious disease caused by pathogenic bacteria belonging to the species of leptospira, it is considered to be the most common zoonosis in the world. this is a serious and sometimes fatal infection which is transmitted from animals to humans by entering the digestive tract or mucosal membrane. within the initial 10-12 day period, the patient may experienc...

Two serologically distinct antibodies directed against different antigenic sites on the Group A carbohydrate were detected in human sera by agglutination techniques. Agglutinins with A-variant specificity were demonstrable by the direct agglutination of purified A-variant cell walls, whereas indirect Coombs-type agglutinins with Group A specificity were demonstrable with Group A cell walls. Sel...
