For the other syndromes, the simulation tests confirmed that the facial dysmorphologies associated with Down, Morquio and Noonan syndromes were significant and different from random comparisons in control subjects. Few simulations resulted in a higher FDS than the FDS obtained with the complete real sa...
All of the tests were 2-sided and were performed at a significance level of α = .05. To account for the complex survey design, the SUDAAN version 9.0.1 (Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina) and SAS version 9.1.3 (SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, North Carolina...
P values were based on F tests. A P < .01 was considered statistically significant in 2-sided tests. Analyses were performed using SAS Enterprise Guide version 7.13 (SAS Institute Inc) and Stata version 16.1 (StataCorp). Data analysis was conducted from October 2019 to December 2020. ...
New laboratory tests to enhance TB diagnosis: Microscopy, LAM and Xpert MTB/RIF used as a drug resistance test; by* The emergence of new tests could also requireregular and prompt updates to guidance at thenational and international level, and ongoingadvocacy to ensure that the new ...
Nucleic acid amplification -based tests are more sensitive for diagnosing ATB but do not differentiate between live and dead Mtb bacteria and are therefore not useful for monitoring clearance of Mtb during and after treatment. Culturing Mtb from sputum is currently the gold standard for TB diagnosis...
Childhood TB diagnosis is challenging. Studies in adults suggest Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility (MODS) culture or the Xpert MTB/RIF assay might be used to expand bacteriological diagnosis. However data from children are more limited. We prospectively compared MODS and Xpert MTB/RIF with ...
This study is unique in its metabolomic profiling of children with confirmed TB (rather than clinically diagnosed TB), as well as the use of decision tree analysis and integration of metabolomic with transcriptomic data to identify the most high-yield tests for both diagnosis and response to anti...
[182]. While adults can undergo a plethora of audiometric testing and a minimum speech test battery for adult cochlear implantation has been in use for many years, the tests that can be carried out with children are more limited and the above-mentioned intra-individual comparisons of current ...

TB tests. The T-SPOT. TB test was positive in 66 (54.5%) study group children and in 2 (3.1%) control group children (P < 0.01). Induration in the Mantoux test ≥ 10 mm was observed in 62 (91.0%) of 68 T-SPOT. TB positive children, and 34 (29.1%) of 117 T-SPOT. TB ...
