The aim of this study was the application of fluorescence polarisation assay (FPA) for the examination of bovine sera and comparison of the results of the assay with the results of Rose Bengal test (RBT), serum agglutination test (SAT), complement fixation test (CFT), and ELISA. Six hundred thirty-five sera from cattle, including 300 sera from healthy animals, 32 sera from animals regarded as s...

Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis affecting livestock and human beings. The human disease lacks pathognomonic symptoms and laboratory tests are essential for its diagnosis. However, most tests are difficult to implement in the areas and countries were brucellosis is endemic. Here, we compared the simple and cheap Rose Bengal Test (RBT) with serum agglutination, Coombs, competitive ELI...

Differentiating radiation necrosis (a radiation induced treatment effect) from recurrent brain tumors (rBT) is currently one of the most clinically challenging problems in care and management of brain tumor (BT) patients. Both radiation necrosis (RN), and rBT exhibit similar morphological appearance on standard MRI making non-invasive diagnosis extremely challenging for clinicians, with surgica...

Inoculation of the Soehner-Dmochowski isolate of the Moloney strain of murine sarcoma virus (MSV), designated MSV-SD, consistently leads to the development of bone tumors in the susceptible New Zealand black (NB) rats. Two separate cell cultures have been established from 2 individual MSV-SD-induced NB rat bone tumors. Cells of 1 bone tumor culture, designated RBT-E, are in early in vitro passa...

PURPOSE Rebound tonometry has recently been modified for its use in humans. The purpose of our study was to determine the precision of the ICare(R) rebound tonometer (RBT) as compared with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). METHODS Patients were recruited from our Hospital's Glaucoma Unit. In each patient, intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured without anaesthesia using the RBT and te...

INTRODUCTION Hypertrophic changes at the radial tuberosity have traditionally been related to distal biceps tendon degeneration and rupture. From supination to pronation of the forearm, the space available for the distal biceps tendon between de lateral ulna and radial bicipital tuberosity (RBT) decreases by almost 50%. A hypertrophic change at the radial tuberosity further reduces this space w...

Brucellosis is a complicated disease in terms of epidemiology, diagnosis and control. Although many serological tests and new automated blood culture techniques have been developed to diagnose brucellosis, there are still significant problems in the diagnosis of the disease. The present work aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of the two main serological tests used for diagnosis of brucellos...

PURPOSE To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and the ICare rebound tonometer (RBT) in high myopic eyes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This randomized prospective study included 40 eyes of 40 patients with high myopia. All patients' central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AXL), keratometry, and refractive m...

Our research is focused on interpreting user preference from his/her implicit behavior. There are many types of relevant behavior e.g. time on page, scrolling, clickstream etc. which we will further denote as Relevant Behavior Types (RBT). RBT s varies both in quality and incidence and thus we might need different approaches to process them. In this early work we focus on how to derive user pre...
