The GS isolate was obtained from a symptomatic human and initially characterized as Group 3 (now Genotype B) isolate in 1985 (Nash and Keister 1985; Nash et al. 1985).
This — along with a general lack of awareness about colorectal cancer and its symptoms among young people, their families and their primary care providers — results in prolonged times for symptomatic patients to obtain a firm diagnosis.
On arrival at the health centre, a questionnaire was filled in and a Parascreen rapid diagnostic test (RDT) was made, to obtain an immediate diagnosis of symptomatic malaria infection (ie, the presence of parasites and temperature higher than 37.5°C).
Although pertussis seroincidence is demonstrably high in the Netherlands, it is of considerable value to estimate the age-specific incidence of symptomatic infection to obtain an accurate picture of the current disease burden associated with pertussis infection, and of the variation in burden between age-groups.
Although prior studies of surgical treatment for lumbar degenerative disease suggest that older patients obtain symptomatic pain relief, an evaluation of fusion outcomes based on modern Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) measures is lacking.

Of the 324 patients entering BOKS, 311 obtained an MRI of their more symptomatic knee at baseline.
18 Combined again with the prior information on the proportion of infections which are symptomatic, we obtained an estimate of N a,t,INF in the autumn-winter wave.
The frequency of each of these symptoms was scored on a scale of 0 3 to obtain the total symptomatic score, as described elsewhere [ 10, 11] (table 1).
That enables the individual to get help, obtain symptomatic treatment and plan for the future instead of languishing in a half-world, wondering what is happening to their mind and growing increasingly frightened and frustrated.
