A positive urine pregnancy test, with raised beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (Beta-hCG), with no visible gestational sac, clinches a possible diagnosis of pregnancy of unknown location in minds of most clinicians. However, further work up in such tricky cases is necessary, as hCG may be a...
The only time this hormone is present in the body is during pregnancy. The hormone being detected results in a positive test result and the absence of detection means the test is negative. Your doctor confirms that you are pregnant, and now it is time for some other diagnostic tests. You...

Positive serum human chorionic gonadotropin rates per transfer and per cycle were the same for PGD-AS and controls: 35.8 % (19.6 %) [%/per embryo transfer (per cycle)] and 32.2 % (27.7 %), respectively (not statistically significant). Significantly fewer embryos were transferred in the PGD-...
37. Incorporating these features into the CoDE-ACS models rather than considering them in isolation as applied in the HEART pathway significantly improved the positive predictive value of an elevated cardiac troponin for myocardial infarction compared with using the same fixed troponin threshold in all ...
Particularly, HER2-positive cancers are biologically aggressive, and patients diagnosed with these types of cancers have the fear of recurrence or death. We have evidenced that the prognosis of 117 patients in the pregnant group was non-inferior to that of patients in the non-pregnant group after...

The Human Early Life Exposome project, a European consortium study, identified a positive association between levels of air pollution during the prenatal and postnatal periods and BP.17 High ambient temperature exposure and noise exposure during pregnancy were also associated with higher BP in offspring...
test versus the Gram stain score for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis were 94 %, 96 %, 96 % 86 %, and 98 %, respectively. The authors concluded that the BVBlue test for diagnosis of BV had high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive- and negative-predictive value (94 %, 96 %, ...
