screening interval urinalysis has long been considered essential to pediatric health care. a urinalysis is recommended at four times: in infancy, early childhood, late childhood, and in adolescence. several chemical parameters can be measured as commercially available in dipstick test. this test is relatively inexpensive and it takes less than 5 minutes to be completed. in a 3 month follow up p...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the accuracy of point-of-care dipstick urinalysis in predicting significant proteinuria in pregnancy. DATA SOURCES Literature from 1970 to February 2002 was identified via 1). general bibliographic databases, that is, MEDLINE and EMBASE, 2). Cochrane Library and relevant specialist register of the Cochrane Collaboration, and 3). checking the reference lists of known prim...

IntroductionFragility fractures are common in persons with CKD, however the association between fragility and albuminuria is not well studied. The primary objective to determine of incident risk fractures. secondary examine fracture by eGFR KDIGO categories.MethodsCommunity dwelling adults residing Alberta, Canada who had at least one creatinine measurement April 1, 2008 March 31, 2019 particip...

In previous studies, polyclonal antibodies against the organophosphorus insecticide fenthion were obtained and an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for this pesticide. In this study, using these antibodies and an enzyme tracer, direct competitive ELISAs for fenthion in microtiter plate and dipstick formats were developed. The microtiter plate ELISA sho...

The use of a dipstick to detect leucocyte esteraseuria (Chemstrip L) was compared with the visualisation of leucocytes in a Gram stained smear for the detection of pyuria. The sensitivity and specificity of the two systems using the predictive value theory were similar. The use of a dual screening procedure (automation plus dipstick) allowed reliable 4 h screening of urine specimens for the det...

Aim: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for preeclampsia (PE) using routinely examined items in early pregnancy, particular, the dipstick test proteinuria.

A rapid dipstick test for scrub typhus was prospectively evaluated in Chiangrai, northern Thailand. Sera from 162 patients with fever of unclear etiology were tested by a dot blot immunoassay using two different antigen concentrations. Dipsticks coated with lower concentration of antigen lacked sensitivity compared with the indirect immunoperoxidase test. Dipsticks with higher antigen concentra...

Torsion amongst the elderly population is rarely described. This case presents the oldest surgically confirmed case of testicular torsion, in a 67-year-old male, within the UK. Presenting to the emergency department with a 10-day history of left-sided testicular pain, initially treated with antibiotics. There was no pyrexia or urinary symptoms and negative urine dipstick. In adults above the ag...
