Development of a dot-blot assay for the detection of mould-specific IgE in the Belgian population
“major sensitization” defined as the strongest response against a single mould species was calculated. Results Intra- and inter-assay variations were both below 20%, and the positivity threshold of the ...
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Combined Species Identification and Drug Sensitivity Testing in Mycobacteria.
Databases searches returned 90.4% correct species-level identifications, which increased to 98.6% when score thresholds were lowered to 1.65. In conclusion, the MBT-ASTRA technology holds promise to ...
Decision criteria for MALDI-TOF MS-based identification of filamentous fungi using commercial and in-house reference databases
criteria, have been developed for mold and dermatophyte identification. Currently, the most widely used approach is Bruker technology, although no consensus concerning the log(score) threshold has been ...

US and 5284 with LSIL were found. The pooled sensitivity of HPV 16/18 genotyping for CIN3 + was about 70% for women with either ASC- US or LSIL. The pooled specificity (with a threshold of grade <2 ...
Neonatal thyroid-stimulating hormone concentration and psychomotor development at preschool age.
to assess if high concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that is below the clinical threshold (5-15 mIU/L) at neonatal screening is linked to psychomotor development impairments in the ...
Evaluation of the potential health risks of substances migrating from polycarbonate replacement baby bottles.
substances was shown to be below their SML. The unlisted substances were evaluated using toxicological information from previous evaluations, or if not available, by applying the Threshold of Toxicological ...
Evaluation of three competitive ELISAs and a fluorescence polarisation assay for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis.
adult cattle were tested. Individual test sensitivities (Se) and specificities (Sp) were estimated. Threshold assessment using the receiver operating characteristic method was also performed. The most ...
