Diagnostic validity of fecal occult blood test (FOBT) was assessed in infants with rectal bleeding secondary to allergic proctocolitis compared to healthy infants. The results of this study showed that, although FOBT has adequate sensitivity (84%; negative predictive value 83%), it has inadequate ...
Using these discriminating features together it was possible to correctly predict 95% of patients with abnormal endoscopy and 82% of patients with a normal endoscopy. The history and the stool occult blood test are useful predictors of the presence of upper gastrointestinal pathology and may aid ...
Introduction: Positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) was occasionally observed in some chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Although there are several case reports of hemorrhagic colitis in patients treated with dasatinib, the incidence of TKI-induce...

Even though the purpose of SPECT/CT is prediction of postoperative lung function, the 99mTc-MAA particles could be variably distributed within the tumor because of a dual vascular blood supply [9,10,11,12]. This can be related to the aberrant architecture and dynamics of the tumor vasculature...
blood donors where it appears to occur quite rarely in the western world, whereas it is frequently detected in developing countries [20]. On the contrary, OBI has been much less investigated in the general population so far. In a study evaluating HBsAg-negative residents of a Canadian Inuit ...
fecal blood loss is 1.70 ± 1.2 ml., and is not influenced by diet or iron therapy. Utilizing this chemical quantitative test, it was found that the benzidine-2HCL test on three serial stool samples gives 50% false positive and 2% false negative results. Less than 6% of false positive ...
Leucocytes; White phagocytic cells of the blood. There is a three stage dependence on vitamin C for their effectivity. (1) Genesis (2) Kinesis (movement) (3) phagocytosis. Leucoyte formation (blastogenesis) observed to progressively increase every day as extra and then more vitamin C is add...
(controls), we observed 121 patients that were CA 19-9 positive, with 15 malignancies, and 359 CA 19-9-negative patients, with three malignancies. (3) Conclusions: To confirm the association between CA 19-9 and an elevated risk of malignancies in NMSC, prospective cohort studies should be...
Occult HCV infection (OCI) was first described in 2004, and it is defined by the presence of HCV RNA in the hepatocytes or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with no detectable HCV RNA in the serum; there are two types: seronegative (anti-HCV antibody negative and serum HCV RNA ...
