Different hypertension phenotypes: how to diagnose and treatM. Al Otaiby
It all depends on the type of sample collected and the environment in which it’s being stored. Below, we take a look at some of the most common samples collected by laboratories and how they’re stored. Blood samples Used to diagnose diseases, evaluate the function of organs a...
The current gold standard methods used in clinical practice to diagnose bacterial infections include culture techniques for AST, nucleic acid-based tests (polymerase chain reaction [PCR] and 16S sequencing), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS...

Moreover, the identification of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material (RNA) is used to diagnose COVID-19 at the molecular level (Carter et al 2020) and the detection of viral proteins is also important in the diagnosis of COVID-19; however, it has not yet been used (Feng et al 2020). SARS-...
Operationally, however, PCR is not easy to use outside central labora- tories. Developing more sensitive clinical field malaria tests is however possible with current technology. Whether more sensitive tests will make a significant impact on malaria elimination is less clear. They will not make ...
It should be noted that the latter is mostly found in neutro- penic patients, while relevant findings of non-neutropenic patients are nonspecific [56]. Laboratory testing used for the detection of Aspergillus includes biopsies, cultures, detection of galactomannan and β-D-glucan and PCR. As ...
Currently, the preferred test for norovirus according to the CDC is the PCR test. This test helps distinguish between other diseases (for example, rotavirus andSalmonellainfections) that may produce similar symptoms. Once norovirus has been confirmed in an outbreak setting, it is not necessary to ...
Ramadescribed herself as very sociable, and was an elected class representative. While she did not see herself as a science person, during the pandemic, she became much more interested in science and hoped to discover cures for all diseases. The lockdowns forced her mother to close her boutiq...
PCR tests are, however, extremely accurate but take up to three days for results to come through. They detect the genetic material from a specific organism, specifically coronavirus, and are the best way to test if you have a current infection. ...
