Category or diagnosticity effect?: the influence of color in picture naming tasks
(American Psychological Association, 2019-09)
The category effect has largely been studied in picture naming tasks. Introducing color to pictures leads to an improvement in responses, but the effect is not homogeneous for all items. Some authors have reported that ...
Evaluation of rapid diagnostic tests for assessment of hepatitis B in resource-limited settings
(NLM (Medline), 2019-07)
Chronic Hepatitis B (HBV) is the most important cause of liver disease worldwide. There is a need for low-cost tests to aid in diagnosis and management of HBV infection in resource-limited settings. We evaluated the utility ...
Diagnostics of laser induced plasmas at late delay times
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-04)
The study of the diagnostics of plasmas produced by a laser is not always possible without enough data; usually a precise record of several lines meeting certain spectroscopic conditions is needed. In this work, a method ...
A temperature-based diagnostic approach for paper-based microfluidics
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018-03)
We present the potential of a quantitative temperature-based diagnostic approach for paper-based microfluidics, extending the work of Terzis et al. (J Colloid Interface Sci 504:751–757, 2017) which demonstrated a significant ...
Gender and Alcohol Use Disorders Diagnostic Criteria in Emergency Department Patients of Argentina.
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-08)
Background: Alcohol consumption and its related consequences are not equal for women and men, although related studies do not frequently include gender analysis. Objective: Our aim was to characterize differences in ...
Whole exome sequencing in neurogenetic odysseys: An effective, cost- and time-saving diagnostic approach
(Public Library of Science, 2018-02)
Background Diagnostic trajectories for neurogenetic disorders frequently require the use of considerable time and resources, exposing patients and families to so-called “diagnostic odysseys”. Previous studies have provided ...
Bayesian assessment of the accuracy of a PCR-based rapid diagnostic test for bovine tuberculosis in swine
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06)
Infection with the Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) causes a disease referred to as bovine tuberculosis (bTB), which affects a wide range of mammal hosts. Many countries have implemented control and eradication plans that ...
Use of kDNA-based Polymerase Chain Reaction as a Sensitive and Differentially Diagnostic Method of American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in Disease-Endemic Areas of Northern Argentina
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007-10)
We evaluated the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the diagnosis of endemic American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis in Salta, Argentina. Diverse Leishmania species, coexistence of mycotic and varicose ulcers, and high endemicity ...
Detection of citrus psorosis virus by RT-qPCR validated by diagnostic parameters
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV) is the causal agent of psorosis, an important disease of citrus. Sanitary and certification programmes helped reduce disease damage caused by psorosis and other graft-transmissible diseases in ...
Medicanes as subtropical cyclones: the December 2005 case from the perspective of surface pressure tendency diagnostics and atmospheric water budget
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-04)
Mediterranean cyclones with tropical-like characteristics such as spiral cloud coverage and a central cloud-free “eye” are referred to as medicanes. These systems have been analyzed due to their relation with high-impact ...
