While Artz et al. reported FISH to be a highly sensitive technique (sensitivity of 98.3%) for the detection of S. agalactiae directly in specimens [ 7], Strus and colleagues could not confirm this sensitivity [ 11].
Fecal calprotectin can be a highly sensitive way of detecting IBD, although there are inevitably tradeoffs between sensitivity and specificity, with some false positives (IBS with positive calprotectin), if a low calprotectin cutoff is used.
Background: In recent years polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has proven to be a highly sensitive and specific method for the diagnosis of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections.
In conclusion, PCR with our primers could be a highly sensitive, specific protocol to detect and distinguish T. lewisi and T. musculi from other trypanosomes.
In brief, variability in the organization of task-related networks seems to be a highly sensitive indicator of long-lasting training effects.
The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has proven to be a highly sensitive mass detector which found its way into biomedical sciences [1, 2].
These results indicate a potential global brain phenomenon that unites research from different fields and indicates that fractal scaling may be a highly sensitive metric for indexing cognitive effort/task engagement.
In contrast to conventional techniques, the electrolyte resistance fluctuations have shown to be a highly sensitive and reliable tool conveying real-time information about the two-phase flow pattern and electrolyte composition.
There is evidence that a number of chronic stresses lead to significant downregulation of AMPPs and thus their monitoring could be a highly sensitive measure of health status and risk of an infectious disease outbreak.
So the difference between the behaviour of the surface and subsurface detectors turns out to be a highly sensitive measure of the temperature of the atmosphere at the height where cosmic rays interact with it between 14 and 26 km, that's roughly the height of the ozone layer.
The three-dimensional nanohelical structures are demonstrated to be a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate.
