Optimal testing parameters for blood cultures.
The effects of volume of blood, number of consecutive cultures, and incubation time on pathogen recovery were evaluated for 37,568 blood cultures tested with the automated BACTEC 9240 instrument (Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Instrument Systems) at a tertiary care center over the period of 12 June 1996 through 12 October 1997. When the results for this study were compared with previous data publi...
متن کاملGuideline for the optimal use of blood cultures.
The incidence of sepsis is increasing globally, with high morbidity and mortality. Prompt, accurate detection of bacteraemia and fungaemia is imperative for improving patient care, yet health care professionals lack training in correct blood culture techniques. These guidelines discuss the clinical importance of blood cultures, the indications for their use and the correct technique for optimal...
متن کاملRobust tests for testing the parameters of a normal population
This article aims to provide a simple robust method to test the parameters of a normal population by using the new diagnostic tool called the “Forward Search” (FS) method. The most commonly used procedures to test the mean and variance of a normal distribution are Student’s t test and Chi-square test, respectively. These tests suffer from the presence of outliers. We introduce the FS version of...
متن کاملOptimal Parameters for XMSS
We introduce Multi Tree XMSS (XMSS ), a hash-based signature scheme that can be used to sign a virtually unlimited number of messages. It is provably forward and hence EU-CMA secure in the standard model and improves key and signature generation times compared to previous schemes. XMSS has — like all practical hash-based signature schemes — a lot of parameters that control different trade-offs ...
متن کاملidentification of pathogenic bacteria in blood cultures and susceptibility testing of isolates with various antibiotics
background blood infections are an extensive range of disorders that can vary from limited bacteremia to fatal septicemia. bacteremia refers to the transient presence of a bacterium in the bloodstream. a delay in the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis can cause mortality, with a 20% - 50% prevalence rate. objectives due to the changing patterns of antibiotic resistance, as well as differences in...
