Applications of OBI 'assay'
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the applicability of using the OBI assay paradigm for representing patient questionnaires, neuropsychological tests, and neurological exams, as well to annotate data generated from these assessments. We conclude that the specification for OBI ‘assay’ employs a broad enough notion of evaluation to allow for these uses. However, it would be preferable to introduce subclasses of OBI ‘planned process’ or OBI ‘assay’ that explicitly addresses these types of use cases and provides clear groupings for general types of assays. Keywords—assay; OBI; questionnaire; neuropsychological test; neurological exam; clinical history

متن کاملPrevalence of Occult Hepatitis B in HIV Positive Patients (Adolescents and Adults) in Kermanshah- Iran
Background Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is considered a risk factor for progression of liver disease in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This disease progression is reported to be more significant in those with concomitant HIV infection. We aimed to determine the prevalence rate of OBI in a sample of HIV-positive patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty-six HIV-infected pati...
