background and objectives : in iran, anaplasmosis is normally diagnosed with traditional giemsa staining method. this is not applicable for identification of the carrier animals. the aim of this study was to compare the detection of anaplasma marginale in two different numbers of microscopic fields (50 and 100) using conventional giemsa staining method compared with the pcr-rflp technique. mate...

We show that a microscopic definition of crystal defect, based on the effective mean singleparticle potential energy, makes it possible to detect and visualize various types of local and extended crystal defects and develop an effective algorithm for tracking their time evolution.

Plasmodium falciparum infections are frequently fatal if untreated and hence need to be diagnosed and treated early. Malaria diagnosis, with conventional Giemsa staining as a gold standard, has had several limitations. New rapid and accurate methods are needed for diagnosis. In this study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis specific for diagnosis of P. falciparum was evaluated. For the st...

OBJECTIVES To develop and evaluate a rapid method for the diagnosis of malaria infection by microscopy of stained blood films. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Blood specimens were collected from randomly selected confirmed malaria cases (n = 75) and suspected malaria cases (n = 175). The microscopy was done on each set of blood films stained by modified and the standard Giemsa staining methods. RESULT...

AIM To assess five main histological features of gastritis in gastric mucosa colonized with Helicobacter pylori before and after the treatment. METHODS Histologic assessment of H. pylori-associated gastritis was performed according to the Sydney classification before and after the treatment in 97 patients. Two additional parameters - the presence of lymphocytic aggregates and coccoid forms of...

background since iran is one of the malaria endemic areas, diagnosis of this disease is important. although the microscopic study of stained peripheral blood smears is as a gold standard of malaria diagnosis, this method requires a microscope, the equipment, and trained people. because of some problems associated with microscopic method in some situations, rapid diagnostic test (rdts) can be a ...
