Utility of novel diagnostic tests for tuberculosis using human urine
… an attractive, easily available alternative for rapid diagnosis. We evaluated the point-of-care urine LAM strip test (Determine TB LAM Ag test, Alere) and urine-based Xpert MTB/RIF for TB diagnosis in two patient cohorts with high HIV prevalence. A spot urine sample was collected from two cohorts …

Novel Diagnostic approach for tuberculosis diagnosis
There is a clear need for a rapid, inexpensive point-of-care diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB). The aim of this study was to analyze the performance of a novel rapid diagnostic test for TB, GeneXpert MTB/RIF, in symptomatic adults and to compare it to other commercially available nucleic acid …

Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Pulmonary Concerns in Remote Spaceflight Triage Environments
… been viewed as a less than optimal modality for diagnosis and treatment of the pulmonary system, as air-interfaces disrupt ultrasound views. Researchers have recently identified various lung signs and patterns indicative of lung injuries and illness improving the utility of pulmonary ultrasound. …

Investigating The Metabolic Progression of Glioblastoma With Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance
<p>Rapid diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of aggressive diseases such as glioblastoma (GBM) can improve patient survival by providing physicians the time to optimally deliver treatment. This includes early in development, while the tumor is still manageable, or following initial therapy, when …

A Rapid Concentration and Identification Technique for Human Malaria Infections Using a Mouse Model
… lighter (less dense). This paper reports a new, rapid diagnostic technique using this change in density in the infected red blood cell. It is not only easy to use, but it is also compatible with the technological conditions found where the malaria problem is most acute - in many developing …

The prevention and diagnosis of central venous catheter-related infection
… techniques may not be adequate for the diagnosis of CR-BSI by current guidelines. The potential of the lipid S ELISA to facilitate the diagnosis of CR-BSI in 38 haematology/SCT patients and sternal SSI in 57 cardiothoracic surgery patients was also assessed. The ELISA proved to be a …
