Our analysis of a coordinated set of diagnostic test comparisons carried out in endemic settings in five African countries indicated that for diagnosis of S. mansoni on an individual and community basis, the POC-CCA urine test appears to be a more sensitive test than the Kato-Katz stool examination technique.
It was concluded that imaging with FolateScan may be a more sensitive method than physical examination for assessing disease activity [ 67].
To further ensure an accurate assessment of joint inflammation, we provided ultrasound measurements of disease activity in RA, which could be a more sensitive tool than a clinical examination for determining inflamed joints [ 45].
Furthermore, HRCT, today mandatory in the diagnosis of ILD in SSc patients, would be beneficial to elaborate the connection between MPs, lung function test and lung fibrosis, as this examination is a more sensitive detector of the extent and severity of interstitial lung involvement [ 29].
A rationale consequence of this result is that molecular events detected in pre-malignant tissue or in tissues adjacent to cancer have provided diagnostic information, supporting the hypothesis that a molecular approach for CaP diagnosis would be a more sensitive and powerful tool than morphological examination.
These data combined indicate IS-RT-PCR may serve as a more sensitive, one-step procedure for the examination of MMP gene expression in human breast cancers.
Thus, tooth mobility might be a more sensitive measure to assess OHRQoL than the examination using CPI.
Chest radiography could have detected more persons for sputum examination, and culture is a more sensitive method for diagnosing tuberculosis.
We correlated the MRI findings with immunohistology because it is a more sensitive indicator of an inflammatory process than histological examinations, which are subject to a high sampling error.
Compared with clinical examination, grey scale ultrasound (GSUS) is a more sensitive method for detecting synovitis and tenosynovitis.
