Objective. Untreated protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB), a chronic wet cough prevalent in children, may lead to chronic suppurative lung disease. However, clinical diagnostic criteria are currently nonspecific; thus, PBB may be misdiagnosed. Thus, we assessed the diagnostic value of...
Two cases of varied forms of Aspergillosis are reported who were being diagnosed and treated on different lines. One case, who was treated on lines of allergic bronchitis, had very high total eosinophil count and, fleeting pulmonary infiltrates over a period of 5 years along with history of cou...
Component 6 can be counted if there were no positive serum tests, but there was a positive fungal culture. Components 4 to 6 are applicable for filamentous fungi, but not for yeast-like fungi such as Candida and Saccharomyces. Mucus plugs obtained by expectoration or by bronchoscopy can be ...
Concerning the second argument, it is certainly true that family members can be affected by results from genetic tests. However, the same applies to non-genetic tests for infectious diseases (not least sexual partners in the case of sexually transmitted diseases). An interesting comparison can be...
This report describes such a case and illustrates the unreliability of clinical signs and the importance of historical data and simple tests of pulmonary function. The rising number of individuals in the age group having syndromes often referred to as "obstructive bronchitis-pulmonary edema," and ...
Although pulmonary tests are considered as the gold standard for COPD diagnosis, they cannot detect early stages of COPD, leading to underdiagnosis. This emphasizes the need for specific biomarkers for early diagnosis, classification, and clinical interventions. ...
However, symptoms could worsen in the days following the first consultation, making further tests and antibiotic treatment necessary. Applying this diagnostic aid in daily practice may lead to a reduction in the overuse of antibiotics as well as a reduction in associated problems caused by this ...
Performance and interpretation of diagnostic tests; Followup and tracking of diagnostic information over time; Subspecialty and referral-specific factors; and Patient-related factors [24].Diagnostic performance is the outcome of these processes within a complex, adaptive sociotechnical system [...
intracellular subgenomic RNAs may dominate over genomic RNA very early on, with 8–70 times more intracellular subgenomic than genomic RNA at 6–8 h after infection for infectious bronchitis virus, a gammacoronavirus, and for bovine coronavirus, a betacoronavirus, and with at least ten times mor...
Specific reference intervals are needed for each animal species for the appropriate interpretation of the results obtained from serum biochemical tests. Th... Sema,Y.,Gurgoze,... - 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》 被引量: 34发表: 2010年 The effects of aging on moisture-enhanced pork ...
