Most conventional laboratory methods used to study viruses and bacteria may not be applicable.
Loeb taught John to investigate fundamental questions in medicine, to find answers by listening to his patients, and to use the most precise laboratory methods in his search.
As a general rule, there is good agreement between most laboratories and methods.
In general, there is good agreement between most laboratories and methods.
The requirement concerns not only physician awareness but also wide availability and application of the most appropriate diagnostic laboratory methods.
While it is true that measured precision values calculated from cross-validation studies of test datasets represent a slight overestimation of precision, even a more conservative estimate of 90% precision still exceeds the levels attained by most high-throughput laboratory methods.
Most commercially-available clinical laboratory methods are intended for blood-derived specimens and/or urine and laboratories must characterize the analytical performance of these methods for other specimen types such as body fluids.
Overall, for the studied sites, we do not see a benefit of vis-NIRS for a direct estimation of enzyme activities compared to laboratory methods, most likely due to a lack of sufficiently strong specific impacts on the measured spectral signals.
Native human serum is the most commutable matrix among different laboratory methods because it mimics the entire serum composition [ 6].
From 1992 to 2006, most laboratories used traditional methods for identification of NTM in both clinical and environmental samples.
