Identification of Burkholderia pseudomallei and related bacteria by multiple-locus sequence typing-derived PCR and real-time PCR.
molecular diagnosis of these species hard to guarantee with a maximal confidence level. This article describes fast molecular assays derived from compiled sequences of housekeeping genes determined in more ...
Assessment of quality performance parameters for straight line calibration curves related to the spread of the abscissa values around their mean
least squares line is of little value unless it is accompanied by an estimate of its random variation expressed by a confidence interval. This confidence interval results from the uncertainty in the ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization is associated with higher mortality in nursing home residents with impaired cognitive status.
mortality remained significantly higher in MRSA carriers (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.1-1.8) than in noncarriers. The effect of MRSA on mortality was dependent on the degree of ...
Application of non-structural protein antibody tests in substantiating freedom from foot-and-mouth disease virus infection after emergency vaccination of cattle.
serological testing with NSP ELISA s can be used and interpreted and the effect that this will have on the confidence with which freedom from infection can be demonstrated within guidelines specified by the ...
Chapter 9: Clinical applications of HPV testing: a summary of meta-analyses.
follow-up cytology. Primary screening with HC2 generally detects 23% (95% confidence interval, CI: 13-23%) more CIN-2, CIN-3, or cancer compared to cytology at cut-off atypical squamous cells of undetermined ...
Virologic versus cytologic triage of women with equivocal Pap smears: a meta-analysis of the accuracy to detect high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.
Volume 96, Issue 4, p.280-93 (2004) Keywords: ADOLESCENT Adult Aged Aged, 80 and over Bias (Epidemiology) Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Cervix Uteri Confidence Intervals DNA, ...
Estimation of the minimum detectable value for the determination of PCBs in fatty food samples by GC-ECD: a curvilinear calibration case
estimation of the MDV in the linear calibration case. Alternatively, the MDV was determined by a method based on confidence intervals for a second-order calibration plot. There was a close correspondence ...
Metaanalysis of the accuracy of rapid prescreening relative to full screening of pap smears.
64.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 50.7-79.1%) for all abnormalities, 72.6% (95% CI 60.6-85.2%) for low-grade lesions or more severe, and 85.7% (95% CI 77.8-93.6%) for high-grade lesions or more severe. ...
Transmission of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) among pigs experimentally quantified.
during either one of the experiments. The pairwise experiment revealed a point estimate for R(0) of 2.0 (95% confidence interval (CI)=0.37-10.74), while the group experiment resulted in a R(0)-value of ...
Belgian coca-cola-related outbreak: intoxication, mass sociogenic illness, or both?
higher than in schools B-E (3.6%, relative risk = 3.6, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.5, 5.3). Exclusive consumption of regular Coca-Cola (school A: odds ratio (OR) = 29.7, 95% CI: 1.32, 663.6; schools ...
