These results suggest that molecular techniques can augment culture-based methods for diagnosing neonatal sepsis, especially in infants whose mothers have received intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis.
Recombinant allergens that retain the immunological features of natural allergens form the basis of accurate protein-chip-based methods for diagnosing allergic conditions.
Noninvasive, non-culture-based methods for diagnosing invasive fungal disease have been studied extensively and are now being used in daily clinical practice.
Quantitative RT-PCR is generally the most sensitive method to detect presence and load of microparasites (Purcell et al. 2011), but in some instances may not be as sensitive as culture-based methods for diagnosing disease, as it is unable to determine whether a microbe present in a tissue is viable and actively replicating (Purcell et al. 2013).
Culture based methods are the gold standard for diagnosing invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD).
Experiment results show that the proposed CNN based methods can accurately and effectively diagnose thyroid nodules.
We used highly sensitive methods for diagnosing pulmonary TB based on the combination of solid and liquid culture methods [ 21] and on the use of alternative specimen collection methods when patients were unable to produce sputum.
An additional $62 million will be devoted to developing faster, simpler and more affordable methods for diagnosing tuberculosis.
Brain images taken from hundreds of soldiers diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injuries suggest that methods for diagnosing concussions are inadequate in detecting damage.
