AIMS To determine if the colour rivalry suppression is an index of the visual impairment in amblyopia and if the stereopsis and fusion evaluator (SAFE) instrument is a reliable indicator of the difference in visual input from the two eyes. METHODS To test the accuracy of the SAFE instrument for measuring the visual input from the two eyes, colour rivalry suppression was measured in six normal...

BACKGROUND The viable mycobacterial bacilli can sometimes form granules in the Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) to produce instrument-negative outcomes when BACTEC MGIT 960 culture is performed. The cause of this phenomenon has never been analyzed. METHODS Thirty-one instrument-negative, granule presenting MGIT vials were collected for conducting acid-fast staining and also liquid a...

The indicator dilution technique has evolved into an invaluable method for the detection and localization of congenital and acquired cardiac shunts. The groundwork for much of the work in this field has been laid by Wood, Swan, and Helmholz (1957); Swan (1959); Hetzel, Swan, and Wood (1959); Braunwald, Tanenbaum, and Morrow (1958) and Braunwald and Morrow (1960). Indocyanine green is the most c...

An indicator which is calculated after the data reduction of a test data set may be used to estimate the (systematic) instrument error at a macromolecular X-ray source. The numerical value of the indicator is the highest signal-to-noise [I/sigma(I)] value that the experimental setup can produce and its reciprocal is related to the lower limit of the merging R factor. In the context of this stud...
