Evaluation of a commercially available rapid urinary porphobilinogen test.
BACKGROUND Demonstration of substantially increased urinary excretion of porphobilinogen is the cornerstone of diagnosing acute porphyria crisis. Because porphobilinogen testing is not implemented on clinical chemistry analysers, respective analyses are available in rather few clinical laboratories. The aim of this study was to critically describe and to evaluate a semi-quantitative rapid test ...
متن کاملEvaluation of commercially available rapid assays: a manufacturer's perspective.
In the recent paper of O’Connor et al. (1), four rapid methods for the detection of toxins of Clostridium difficile were evaluated. I have two main criticisms regarding the methodology of this study. First, for the different methods examined, the specimen treatment procedures were described as follows: for the culture procedure, “stool specimens were cultured on the day of receipt”; for the cyt...
متن کاملLaboratory evaluation of a dual rapid immunodiagnostic test for HIV and syphilis infection.
New dual tests for HIV and syphilis have been developed. Our study aimed to evaluate the laboratory performance of a dual rapid immunodiagnostic test for HIV and syphilis. Our evaluation showed high performance of this dual rapid test, which should be considered for implementation to increase screening coverage and efficiency.
متن کاملNotes from the Field: Evaluation of the Sensitivity and Specificity of a Commercially Available Rapid Syphilis Test - Escambia County, Florida, 2016.
In December 2014, the Food and Drug Administration granted the first-ever Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments waiver for a rapid treponemal syphilis screening test, Syphilis Health Check (SHC) (1). SHC is a new tool for public health programs to combat increasing syphilis rates, specifically among persons without a prior syphilis infection. SHC can be performed by nonlaboratorian health ...
متن کاملDynamic stiffness and transmissibility of commercially available wheelchair cushions using a laboratory test method.
Evidence suggests that wheelchair (WC) users are exposed to unhealthy levels of vibration during WC use. Health risks associated with vibration exposure include vertebral disc degeneration and back pain, which may consequently decrease the function and independence of WC users. Some evidence suggests that the cushions used in WCs may amplify vibrations, although conclusive evidence has not been...
