Acute phase markers for the differentiation of infectious and malignant pleural effusions
(2007)Acute-phase markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been studied in inflammatory and malignant disorders. We examined the diagnostic value of these ... -
Bayesian estimation of sensitivity and specificity of a commercial serum/milk ELISA against the Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis (MAP) antibody response for each lactation stage in Greek dairy sheep
(2016)A total of 854 paired milk and blood samples were collected from ewes of a Greek flock and used to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of a commercial ELISA for detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis ... -
Bayesian evaluation of three serological tests for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in bangladesh
(2019)We evaluated the performance of three serological tests – an immunoglobulin G indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA), a Rose Bengal test and a slow agglutination test (SAT) – for the diagnosis of bovine ... -
Comparison of biuret and refractometry methods for the serum total proteins measurement in ruminants
(2017)Background: Determination of serum total protein concentration is commonly performed by the biuret method. Refractometric measurement is a faster and less expensive alternative but its accuracy has not been determined in ... -
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 ... -
First-Time Detection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus and Porcine Circovirus 2 in an Albanian Farrow-to-Finish Herd
(2018)The purpose of this case report is to describe for the first time concurrent porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) infections in a commercial farrow-to-finish pig farm ... -
Identification of a prospective early motor progression cluster of Parkinson's disease: Data from the PPMI study
(2018)Aim: The aim of our study is to phenotype PD motor progression, and to detect whether serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), neuroimaging biomarkers and neuropsychological measures characterize PD motor progression phenotypes. ... -
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
(2004)Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are negative for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). However, the significance of 'silent' HBV in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection ... -
On-line SPE sample treatment as a tool for method automatization and detection limits reduction: Quantification of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3/D2
(2017)The development and approbation of new, automated UHPLC-DAD method for the quantification of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3/D2 (25OH-D3/D2) metabolites in plasma/serum for the evaluation of patient's vitamin D status are presented. ... -
Plasmir: A manual collection of circulating micrornas of prognostic and diagnostic value
(2021)Only recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) were found to exist in traceable and distinctive amounts in the human circulatory system, bringing forth the intriguing possibility of using them as minimally invasive biomarkers. miRNAs ... -
Quality control of serum and plasma by quantification of (4E,14Z)-sphingadienine-C18-1-phosphate uncovers common preanalytical errors during handling of whole blood
(2018)BACKGROUND: Nonadherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) during handling and processing of whole blood is one of the most frequent causes affecting the quality of serum and plasma. Yet, the quality of blood samples ... -
Rare SLC13A1 variants associate with intervertebral disc disorder highlighting role of sulfate in disc pathology
(2022)Back pain is a common and debilitating disorder with largely unknown underlying biology. Here we report a genome-wide association study of back pain using diagnoses assigned in clinical practice; dorsalgia (119,100 cases, ... -
Serotonin and Neuron-specific Enolase: Serum Acute and Mid-term Levels and their Association With Posttraumatic Depression
(2010)Objectives: To investigate the association between serotonin (SER), cholesterol, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) serum levels with depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods: Seventy-four patients ... -
Serum and liver iron concentration in dogs with experimentally induced hepatopathy
(2006)Background and Aim: Iron (Fe) status is altered in human and experimental animal hepatopathies. In dogs limited data are available. The aim of this study was to investigate serum iron (SI), total iron binding capacity ... -
