It's all been lying there just below the surface, the conflicting strains between national pride and specificity and the undeniable need to merge resources and concert decisions.
Scale sensitivity and specificity, and the correlation between the total score of the scale and aspiration grade were analyzed.
Such applications include the design of novel binders and inhibitors, the enhancement of affinity and specificity, and the mapping of binding epitopes.
Serially diluted linearised recombinant plasmids of the different species were used to assess the analytical sensitivity and specificity, and the detection limit of the Luminex assay was determined using serial dilutions of infected blood from an animal with a known level of T. annulata parasitaemia.
In this paper, we address this question by introducing two new measures, one based on integrated sensitivity and specificity and the other on reclassification tables.
However, EEG and MEG are limited by the low spatial resolution and specificity, and the inability to detect and record the signals from subcortical regions.
Perfusion computed tomography (PCT) is a readily available tool and it may assist the clinician in a prompt differential diagnosis of AS, considering its high sensitivity and specificity and the low probability of false-negatives [3,4].
The optimal biomarker or combination of biomarkers was expected to ideally have the highest AUC and specificity, and the lowest AIC.
No clinical or laboratory test was initially available to identify 2009 H1N1 with high sensitivity and specificity, and the virus may have circulated undetected in the human population for months [5].
Though some results are expected, e.g. PCR more sensitive than microscopy, a standardized and context-independent quantification of the diagnostic tests' characteristics (sensitivity and specificity) and the underlying malaria prevalence may be useful for comparing different sites.
When appropriate, we calculated the estimated sensitivity and specificity and the 95% confidence intervals (CI), as well as the positive predictive (PPV) and negative predictive (NPV) values compared to the constructed perfect standard, corresponding to the identification by 16S gene sequences.
