"Irreversible loss of function of the organism as a whole" became an accepted clinical criterion of death.
Probable invasive fungal infection requires the presence of a host factor, a clinical criterion, and symptoms consistent with the disease entity, and mycological evidence including: direct microscopic analysis, culture and serologic test such as GM.
The IHS classification is an explicit clinical criterion so that the diagnosis of pMOH does not require any specific examination that is needed only to exclude a symptomatic origin.
Our proposal is characterized by: (1) requiring minimal signal preprocessing; (2) dealing with episodes of different duration with blank intervals; and (3) considering simultaneously heart activation events and signal waveform as its underlying clinical criterion.
The aim of this study was to examine the role of audiovisual speech recognition as a clinical criterion of cochlear implant or hearing aid efficiency in Persian-language children with severe-to-profound hearing loss.
This study was designed to determine whether respiratory distress among infants suffering from bronchiolitis, was the clinical criterion allows the user to select an aspiration naso – rather than a pharyngeal désobstruction rhino – at the clearing pharyngeal airway.
Apart from one clinical criterion (vascular thrombosis and/or adverse obstetric event), the revised classification criteria require the persistent detection of anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL) such as anti-beta2 glycoprotein I (aβ2GPI), anti-cardiolipin (aCL), and/or autoantibodies interfering with coagulation [lupus anti-coagulant (LAC)] for the diagnosis of APS.
The property of resistance to chemotherapy and irradiation treatment is the major clinical criterion to characterize "cancer stem-like cells (CSCs)" [6].
Cumulative clinical features and laboratory results were collected from the chart of each identified SLE patient, particularly the date of the first appearance of each ACR clinical criterion.
A Student's t-test was used to test for differences in the time of onset of different autoantibody specificities relative to the age at diagnosis or meeting a clinical criterion.
Demographic information included self-reported race/ethnicity, gender and age at disease onset, which was classified as meeting at least one ACR clinical criterion for SLE classification [3], [4].
