Conjugate eye deviation as predictor of acute cortical and subcortical ischemic brain lesions
(2016)Objectives Non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) of the brain is used to exclude intracranial hemorrhage in patients who are considered for treatment with tissue plasminogen activator due to stroke symptoms. However, ... -
Construction of joint confidence regions for the optimal true class fractions of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) surfaces and manifolds
(2017)The three-class approach is used for progressive disorders when clinicians and researchers want to diagnose or classify subjects as members of one of three ordered categories based on a continuous diagnostic marker. The ... -
The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography for blunt vertebral artery injury detection in trauma patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017)The role of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the evaluation of patients with blunt vertebral artery has not been fully established. Our aim is to define the diagnostic accuracy of MRA in comparison to digital ... -
Diagnostic and clinical significance of antigen-specific pancreatic antibodies in inflammatory bowel diseases: A meta-analysis
(2020)BACKGROUND Non-invasive criteria are needed for Crohn’s disease (CD) diagnosis, with several biomarkers being tested. Results of individual diagnostic test accuracy studies assessing the diagnostic value of pancreatic ... -
Diagnostic and clinical significance of Crohn's disease-specific pancreatic anti-GP2 and anti-CUZD1 antibodies
(2016)Background: Pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) targeting GP2 and CUZD1 are Crohn's disease (CrD)-markers. The clinical significance of anti-GP2 antibodies has been assessed, but that of anti-CUZD1 remains elusive. The aim of ... -
Diagnostic value of immunohistochemistry for the detection of the BRAF V600E mutation in colorectal carcinoma
(2016)Purpose: V600E is the most common activating BRAF mutation in colorectal carcinomas (CRCs). It is a crucial biomarker for patient selection and response to targeted therapy with BRAF V600E inhibitors. Previous studies using ... -
Differential fungicidal activities of amphotericin B and voriconazole against Aspergillus species determined by microbroth methodology
(2007)Antifungal agents may differ in their fungicidal activities against Aspergillus spp. In order to compare the fungicidal activities of voriconazole and amphotericin B against 40 isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, ... -
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on pleural adenosine deaminase (Ada)-c-reactive protein (crp) levels, and their combination: An observational prospective study
(2021)(1) Background: Malignant (MPE), parapneumonic (PPE) and tuberculous (TPE) pleural effusions constitute common causes of pleurisy. Discriminating among them is usually challenging. C-reactive protein (CRP) and adenosine ... -
