Disease relevance of Serologic Tests

 

Psychiatry related information on Serologic Tests

  • The following parameters were measured: pain as assessed by visual analogue scale; range of joint movements; grip strength; duration of early morning stiffness, joint circumference, Jebsen's hand assessment; drug usage; total swollen joint counts; Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales; three phase bone scans; haematological and serological tests [6].
 

High impact information on Serologic Tests

  • This attractive hypothesis, which has been widely accepted, was based on the assumption that serological tests using antisera raised against male cells were recognizing H-Y antigen [7].
  • Serological test systems were established for determining the heavy-chain variable region (Vh) subgroups of immunoglobulin heavy chains [8].
  • The diagnostic accuracy of serologic tests for celiac disease: a systematic review [3].
  • The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the diagnostic performance of serologic tests for the diagnosis and screening of CD [3].
  • However, because serodiagnosis fails in 5%-10% and radiological techniques are difficult to interpret in some cases, we developed a polymerase chain reaction for the detection of echinococcal-specific messenger RNA from fine-needle biopsy specimens [9].

Associations of Serologic Tests with chemical compounds

  • However, with the exception of depressed C3 levels, the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of all the serologic tests were low [25].
  • Serological tests were compatible with exposure to aluminium hydroxide-containing vaccines [26].
  • This study aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of the following H pylori serological tests in patients treated or not treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID): Pyloriset Latex, Helico-G, Biolab Malakit, and Bio-Rad GAP Test IgG [27].
  • Viral hepatitis serologic test results, acetaminophen levels, drug and alcohol screening findings, and bacterial and fungal cultures were negative in all 3 patients [28].
  • BACKGROUND: Allergen challenges are useful in adjudicating discordant clinical histories and skin test responses, serologic test responses, or both, as well as in determining the degree of allergic reactivity [29].
 

Gene context of Serologic Tests

  • C4A allotypes that express Ch1 and Ch3 rather than Rg1 and Rg2, and C4B allotypes that express Rg1 rather than Ch1, Ch2, or Ch3 confirmed that the inhibition specificity in serologic tests was anti-Ch1 and not anti-C4B [30].
  • The resultant neural network assignments were compared with those of a validation set containing the sequences of 74 HLA-A, 175 HLA-B, and 117 HLA-DRB1 alleles that had previous serologic test assignments but were not part of the training set [31].
  • Furthermore, various studies demonstrated that GPC3 could be used as a serological test for the diagnosis of patients with HCC [32].
  • The identification of tissue transglutaminase (TGA)-2 as the antigen against which the autoantibodies are directed has led to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of CD and to the development of improved serological tests [33].
  • DNA typing confirmed the RhD-negative type of one AIHA sample in which serological tests were inconclusive [34].
