Although antinuclear autoantibody (ANA) staining of oral biopsy specimens is indicative of chronic ulcerative stomatitis, it is not known whether this staining is characteristic of other autoimmune diseases.
Therefore, increases in Q over time to unusually high values, under constant light levels and accumulating heat-stress, are indicative of chronic photoinhibition and, therefore, a bleaching response [34].
Antiphase I IgG at titers of ≥1 800 by microimmunofluorescence are indicative of chronic Q fever [ 9, 10].
Fibre-type grouping, great variation in fibre size and angular fibres were indicative of chronic dennervation-reinnervation, in the absence of any clinical evidence of a neuropathic process.
Currently, male urethral infections are confirmed by the presence of ≥ 5 PMNs per HPF in urethral secretions (Geisler et al. 2005), while the presence of Gram-stained neutrophils in prostatic secretions is indicative of chronic prostatitis (Krieger et al. 2003).
Abundant copper staining in the livers of these lambs using special stains (rhodanine and rubeanic acid) together with liver copper concentrations of 15.8-22.2 mmol/kg compared to normal values of ≤7.85 mmol/kg [ 11] were indicative of chronic copper intoxication.
During acute infection, antibodies to phase II antigens are detected first; persisting high levels of antibodies to phase II, and especially phase I antigens, are indicative of chronic Q fever (13 ).
Although only four (5%) patients had an elevated serum creatinine (>115 μmol/l), GFR estimation using the Cockcroft Gault equation [ 45] revealed that 162222%) patients had a GFR under 60 ml/min [ 26], which is indicative of chronic kidney disease.
Examining pain reported in the absence of manipulation due to dressing change or after wound healing may be indicative of a chronic pain condition.
This procedure will help the doctors observe the pelvic organs and evaluate them for any signs of infection or the abnormal growth of cells which can be indicative of a chronic condition.
