Anti-Endomysium antibodies (EmA) detection is the most reliable test for the diagnosis of coeliac disease. Usually monkey distal oesophagus sections are used. Tests with ELISA anti-gliadin (AGA) antibodies show that umbilical cord EmA tests can effectively substitute monkey oesophagus EmA tests.

Theileria equi merozoite surface antigens have been an important candidate for development of diagnostics. We developed ELISA based on EMA-1 recombinant antigen, so as to widen our diagnostic confidence in detection of antibodies against T. equi in sero-surveillance studies. The 547 bp EMA-1 gene fragment encoding high hydrophilic antigenic region was expressed with glutathione-S-transferase ta...

This paper describes a spatio-temporal registration approach for speech articulation data obtained from electromagnetic articulography (EMA) and real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtMRI). This is motivated by the potential for combining the complementary advantages of both types of data. The registration method is validated on EMA and rtMRI datasets obtained at different times, but using the...

Exophthalmos, myxedema, and acropachy are collectively named Exophthalmos myxedema acropachy (EMA) syn-drome, which is a rare syndrome associated with hypertcardiotrophia. Among patients with hyperthyreosis, EMA has an incidence less than 1%. Here, we reported a case of EMA and explored its diagnosis and treatment.

A case of eccrine porocarcinoma with Bowenoid changes is reported. We compared the results of immunohistochemical staining for epithelial membrane antigen in the present case with results in Bowen's disease to determine whether the presence of epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) enabled us to differentiate between Bowen's disease and eccrine porocarcinoma with Bowenoid changes. Histologically, th...

Cytokeratin (pan) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) were considered as commonly useful epithelial markers to distinguish cancer from lymphoma, but the expression of cytokeratin (pan) and EMA had also been seen in some lymphomas. Here, we presented an unusual case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) absence of some lymphoid markers (Including CD3, CD20, Pax-5, CD45Ro) and positive for c...

BACKGROUND The eosin-5'-maleimide (EMA) binding test using flow cytometry is a common method to measure reduced mean channel fluorescence (MCF) of EMA-labeled red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with red cell membrane disorders. The basic principle of the EMA-RBC binding test involves the covalent binding of EMA to lysine-430 on the first extracellular loop of band 3 protein. METHODS In the ...

Equine piroplasmosis is a tick-transmitted protozoan disease caused by Theileria equi and/or Babesia caballi. In the present study, we expressed a 53kDa protein from the truncated EMA-2 gene of T. equi (Indian strain) and developed EMA-2ELISA using this expressed protein. This ELISA is able to detect T. equi-specific antibodies in experimentally infected animals as early as 9 days post-infectio...

In this paper, we design a robust lead compensator for a real Electromechanical Actuator (EMA) harmonic drive by introducing an approach based on H∞ control theory. Here, we address three main topics; experimental identification, uncertainty modelling, and robust control design for a real EMA harmonic drive system. This method verifies good tradeoff between the powerful H∞ controller and the un...

BACKGROUND The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of early medical abortion (EMA) in women with early pregnancy and no defined intrauterine gestational sac (IUGS) on ultrasound. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, multicenter, observational study of oral mifepristone 200 mg and buccal misoprostol 800 mcg administered 24-48 h later for EMA (gestations ≤ 63 days). Odds ratios (ORs) [95% co...
