In-house ELISA screening using a locally-isolated Leptospirain Malaysia: determination of its cut-off points
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira species and is distributed globally. Microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the serological 'gold standard' for diagnosis of leptospirosis but it is time-consuming and labour-intensive. An alternative serological method that is rapid, sensitive and specific is important for early treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality. Th...
متن کاملDetermination of Obesity Indices Cut-Off Points for Predicting Metabolic Syndrome in Inactive College Students
Objective: The present this study aimed to determine the proper cut-off points for waist circumference (WC), Waist to height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) for early predicting of metabolic syndrome among inactive college students. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 126 males (age 20.33±1.71) and 63 females (age 20.36±1.72) with inactive lifestyle parti...
متن کاملELISA Cut-off Point for the Diagnosis of Human Brucellosis; a Comparison with Serum Agglutination Test
Background: Brucellosis is a world-wide disease, which has a diverse clinical manifestation, and its diagnosis has to be proven by laboratory data. Serum agglutination test (SAT) is the most-widely used test for diagnosing brucellosis. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can also determine specific antibody classes against brucella. It is a sensitive, simple and rapid test, which coul...
متن کاملIdeal glycated hemoglobin cut‐off points for screening diabetes and prediabetes in a Chinese population
AIMS/INTRODUCTION The aims of the present study were to evaluate the diagnostic value of fasting plasma glucose, 2-h postload plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements in the screening of diabetes and prediabetes, and to determine the cut-off point of HbA1c in the diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 7,611 indivi...
متن کاملDetermination of the Optimal Waist Circumference Cut-Off Points in Benin Adults
Obesity is an independent risk factor for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. Early detection of abdominal obesity followed by appropriate interventions will prevent associated diseases. The objective was to determine optimal waist circumference (WC) cut-off points predictive of at least one other component of metabolic syndrome in Benin adults. This ...
