Classes of specialties in medicine and psychology were excluded from the selection in order to reduce possible selection bias (knowledge of exposure status influences the identification of diseased and non-diseased study subjects) and recall bias (knowledge of disease status influences the determination of exposure status).
Even absent therapeutic intervention, optical and photoacoustical imaging may be used as real-time imaging modalities, potentially affording better resolution, enabling better identification of diseased tissue, and expanding the options for obtaining functional and molecular diagnostic information.
SILAC applications include studies of cellular signaling, post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, and protein-protein interactions, as well as protein expression profiling in normal versus diseased cells, and identification of disease biomarkers and pharmacological targets.
The era of genome-wide high throughput technologies has sparked the initiation of genotype screenings in large cohorts of diseased and control individuals, but had limited success in identification of disease causing genetic variants.
A national disease register based on veterinary diagnoses, which are linked to the identification of the diseased dog, would a most valuable tool in modern dog breeding.
Identification of the diseased areas was estimated by measuring the fluorescence of PpIX, and more quantitative evaluation could be done by calculating the ratio (R) between porphyrin fluorescence and tissue autofluorescence.
It has been our ongoing contention that such a multimodal approach to cancer detection and surgical treatment is critical for diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, intraoperative identification of all diseased tissues, guidance of surgical resection, and verification of the completeness of the surgical resection.
For detection and quantification of the disease, novel and low-cost biomarker-based tests are needed; they would enable proper identification and disposal of diseased animals to prevent new outbreaks of zoonotic TB.
Although significant progress has been made in understanding the process of apoptosis per se, the identification of apoptotic or diseased cells under physiological conditions is not defined.
Traditionally the lung was not thought amenable to ultrasound examination owing to the high acoustic impedance of air; however, the identification of artefacts in diseased lung has led to increased use of ultrasound as a point of care investigation for both diagnosis and to monitor response to interventions.
The traditional diagnostic test available for identification of E. tarda in diseased fish is bacterial culture and identification using biochemical tests [1].
