Apolipoprotein E4 and meningeal lymphatics in Alzheimer disease: a conceptual framework
(2021)The potential existence and roles of the meningeal lymphatic system in normal and pathological brain function have been a long-standing enigma. Recent evidence suggests that meningeal lymphatic vessels are present in both ... -
Autoantibodies and autoantigens in autoimmune hepatitis: Important tools in clinical practice and to study pathogenesis of the disease
(2004)Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic necroinflammatory disease of the liver characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, characteristic autoantibodies, association with HLA DR3 or DR4 and a favorable response to immunosuppressive ... -
Bayesian latent class analysis when the reference test is imperfect [Analyse bayésienne à classes latentes dans les situations où le test de référence est imparfait] [Análisis bayesiano de clases latentes cuando la prueba de referencia es imperfecta]
(2021)Latent class analysis (LCA) has allowed epidemiologists to overcome the practical constraints faced by traditional diagnostic test evaluation methods, which require both a gold standard diagnostic test and ample numbers ... -
Bayesian latent class models to estimate diagnostic test accuracies of COVID-19 tests
(2021)[No abstract available] -
Bootstrap-based testing approaches for the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers subject to a limit of detection
(2019)Assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis frequently involves a limit of detection imposed by the laboratory analytical system precision. As a consequence, ... -
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with asthma: What is its clinical value?
(2020)Asthma is one of the most common respiratory disorders, characterized by fully or largely reversible airflow limitation. Asthma symptoms can be triggered or magnified during exertion, while physical activity limitation is ... -
Comparison of 3D ultrasound, 2D ultrasound and 3D Doppler in the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in patients with uterine bleeding: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Endometrial cancer is a common malignancy affecting women worldwide. Usually, it clinically manifests with uterine bleeding, although identical clinical manifestations occur in benign conditions as well, with several ... -
Correlation of a quantitative and a semi-quantitative method for proteinuria detection in chronic kidney disease in dogs
(2021)Proteinuria can arise in various physiologic and pathologic conditions. Persistent proteinuria without any abnormalities detected in urine sediment is indicative of chronic kidney disease and has great diagnostic value as ... -
Cost estimation of neonatal intensive care in Greece: The case of Athens maternity hospitals
(2007)This study aimed to estimate the hospitalisation costs for neonatal intensive care and to investigate any discrepancies with reimbursement by the social funds in Greece. The study was based on a prospective selection of ... -
COVID-19 Smart Diagnosis in the Emergency Department: all-in in Practice
(2022)Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) diagnosis has been a major problem in most Emergency Departments (EDs) and other senior care facilities. Various clinical manifestations, and the several radiologic and ... -
Detection and geographical distribution of the organophosphate resistance-associated Delta 3Q ace mutation in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)
(2014)BACKGROUND The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the most important pest of olives. Its control is based mostly on organophosphate (OP) insecticides, a practice that has led to resistance ... -
Diagnosis and management of chronic coronary artery disease
(2007)Coronary artery disease (CAD) usually coexists with atherosclerosis of other arterial trees and is accelerated by several risk factors. It may remain asymptomatic for a long period affecting the vessel wall with no lumen ... -
Diagnostic accuracy of a new clinical test (The Thessaly test) for early detection of meniscal tears
(2005)Background: Clinical tests used for the detection of meniscal tears in the knee do not present acceptable diagnostic sensitivity and specificity values. Diagnostic accuracy is improved by arthroscopic evaluation or magnetic ... -
Direct detection of Cardiobacterium hominis in serum from a patient with infective endocarditis by broad-range bacterial PCR
(2006)Bacterial DNA was detected directly to the serum of a patient with endocarditis by broad-range 16S rRNA PCR followed by sequencing and analysis of the results by the BLAST search. Using these methods, Cardiobacterium hominis ... -
Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of the lateral flow assay, Rose Bengal test and the complement fixation test for the diagnosis of brucellosis in cattle using Bayesian latent class analysis
(2020)This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the Rose Bengal test (RBT), complement fixation test (CFT), the serum lateral flow assay (LFAserum) and the blood lateral flow assay (LFAblood) ... -
