With the development in egocentric vision, skill measurement has been recently proposed as a novel topic in this emerging field. In this report, we record the the experimenter’s first-person videos in Wet labratories (wetlab), and measure his/her operative skills. Specifically, given the videos of expert and amateur, we analyze their head motions, hands motions, eye-hand coordinations and key-m...

A method for the clinical isolation and recognition of Corynebacterium vaginale (Haemophilus vaginalis) is presented. Wet mount and stained characteristics of genital tract discharges, cellular and colonial morphology of the bacilli, inhibition by H(2)O(2), lack of a catalase, and fermentation of particular carbohydrates are the determinant factors. The method enables differentiation of the spe...

100 random fecal samples sent to the clinical laboratory of the Aga Khan University Hospital were used. Microscopy was done by direct wet mount in which approximately 2 mg of feces (the amount that usually adheres to one end of the wooden applicator stick) was thoroughly emulsified on a glass slide in one dropofphysiologic salineandcovered with acoverslip. A similar preparation was made on anot...

A case of invasive multiple paranasal sinus aspergillosis with bony involvement is reported. A young immunocompetent lady presented with bilateral nasal obstruction due to polyps. Radiologically and histopathologically a fungal cause was kept a possibility, and the diagnosis of Aspegillus fumigatus was established by demonstration of acute angle branching septate hyphae on direct wet mount and ...

Trichomoniasis is associated with vaginitis, cervicitis, low birth weight, and preterm delivery in pregnant women in addition, it is a cofactor in HIV transmission. Diagnosis of disease is traditionally depends on the microscopic observatio...

Background: Giardia and Cryptosporidium are both enteric pathogens causing diarrhea with no reliable method for their diagnosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a rapid immunochromatographic (IC) ImmunoCard STAT! Crypt/Giardia assay (Meridian Bioscience, Inc.) in comparison to composite reference standard (CRS) of both wet mount microscopy and ELISA copro-anti...

516 sinuses and crusts. The skin over the entire foot was hyperpigmented and thickened; regional lymph nodes did not show any significant enlargement, and systemic examination was unremarkable. All the routine investigations, including foot radiographs and hematological and biochemical tests, were within normal limits. A few black, irregular granules of variable size measuring 0.5 to 2 mm were ...

Desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV) is an uncommon cause of purulent vaginitis in premenopausal women. DIV has also been called exudative vaginitis, hydrorrhea vaginalis, erosive vaginitis, or hemorrhagic vaginitis. DIV is thought to be an aerobic bacterial dominated syndrome caused by bacterial toxins although systematic etiologic studies have not been reported. Clinical, colposcopic, an...

Pregnant women are prone to vaginal infection. At Primary Health Care Clinics diagnosis of causative organism of vagincll infections is made by clsing historp-taking and assessment of clinicalpicture methods. The accuracy of these methods is investigated in this stctdy by comparing the results obtained by historytaking and assessment of clinical picture with that which is obtained by examining ...

n 1965, the second year of its existence, the June issue of Indian Pediatrics comprised of 43 pages, and had only six articles. These were: a fluid (CSF) was under increased pressure and appeared turbid. There were 380 lymphocytes/ mm3; the glucose and protein levels were 25 mg/dL and 80 mg/dL, respectively. A wet mount revealed yeast like cells staining positive on India ink preparation. Sabar...
