Abstract Background Quantitative bacterial culture and susceptibility testing is the gold standard diagnostic for determining bacterial urinary tract infection. Transport of samples to external reference laboratories is ...

Every human being is endowed with emotions that can be well-controlled, as evidenced by the ability to regulate emotions. The gap relates to the understanding of emotional regulation in the context of drug addiction by a...

Objective: To assess cost-effectiveness of conventional cytology and HPV DNA testing for cervical-cancer screening in Colombia. Material and Methods: The National CancerInstitute of Colombia (NCIC) in 2007 developed a Ma...

The aim of this study is to investigate the wear resistance of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and wear debris of polyethylene using pin-on-disc testing on two groups of CoCrMo discs with DLC coatings. DLC coatings depos...

As an aircraft component is subjected to tensile/torsional/bending forces and heat cycles during operation, non-destructive inspection programs have been mandated by aviation regulatory authorities and component manufact...

Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell review. Our primary research question is: What are the effects of different testing frequencies on student achievement? Our secondary research question is: What are the effect...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Myocardial injury after non‐cardiac surgery (MINS) is a significant postoperative complication. In 2022, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) updated its guidelines, recommending periop...

BackgroundThis study evaluated two models of routine HIV testing of hospitalized children in a high HIV-prevalence resource-constrained African setting. Both models incorporated "task shifting," or the allocation of task...

Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on digital operational resilience for the financial sector (Digital Operational Resilience Act, DORA) launched a new model for t...

The aim of this study was to better explain the attitudes of university students regarding the decision to undergo HIV testing and the possibility of taking part in studies on vaccinations, by categorizing these students...

Understanding how a user interacts with a system is important if the goal is to deliver a product that meets the user's needs. Use cases constitute a primary source of requirements in a user-centered perspective and are ...

Abstract This paper develops a new approach to the problem of testing the existence of a level relationship between a dependent variable and a set of regressors, when it is not known with certainty whether the underlying...

SUMMARY The common approach to the multiplicity problem calls for controlling the familywise error rate (FWER). This approach, though, has faults, and we point out a few. A different approach to problems of multiple sign...

Introduction Interactions between Continuous Predictors in Multiple Regression The Effects of Predictor Scaling on Coefficients of Regression Equations Testing and Probing Three-Way Interactions Structuring Regression Eq...

Benjamini and Hochberg suggest that the false discovery rate may be the appropriate error rate to control in many applied multiple testing problems. A simple procedure was given there as an FDR controlling procedure for ...

Background: Staphylococcus spp. are major pathogens causing diverse clinical infections. Evaluating their phenotypic characteristics and antimicrobial response across different culture media is essential for accurate dia...

Communication delays within connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) pose significant risks. It is imperative to address these issues to ensure the safe and effective operation of CAVs. However, the exploration of commun...

Abstract Introduction In Tanzania, despite the progress in HIV testing and counseling, 39.4% of people living with HIV aged ≥ 15 years were unaware of their HIV status in 2017. HIV testing is a crucial entry point ...

The global rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria necessitates the development of new antimicrobials and faster diagnostic tools. Conventional antimicrobial susceptibility testing is slow, relying on culture-based methods ...

PurposePreimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is essential for selecting embryos free from chromosomal abnormalities before transfer. However, challenges such as detection failures, mosaicism, and the lim...

Colorimetric assays offer a low-cost, accessible means of diagnostic testing but often suffer from subjective interpretation and variability caused by inconsistent imaging conditions. To address these challenges, we pres...

Vaccination is widely used to control foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), necessitating robust approaches for evaluating vaccine potency to ensure a consistent supply of effective and safe vaccines. Traditional (in vivo) poten...
