HOW USEFUL IS GLUCOSE DETECTION IN DIAGNOSING CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LEAK? THE RATIONAL USE OF CT AND BETA-2 TRANSFERRIN ASSAY IN DETECTION OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID FISTULA

This report describes the sensitivity and specificity of glucose detection using Glucostix test strips and computed tomography (CT) of the skull base for confirming cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulae in patients with persistent rhinorrhoea or otorrhoea, and comparing them with the beta-2 transferrin assay as the gold standard for CSF detection.Meth

Summary: Here, we exploit a deep serological profiling strategy coupled with Clampmeters an integrated, computational framework for the analysis of SARS-CoV-2 humoral immune responses.Applying a high-density peptide array (HDPA) spanning the entire proteomes of SARS-CoV-2 and endemic human coronaviruses allowed identification of B cell epitopes and

Background: An acute abdomen in children is often a challenging scenario for clinicians as it is caused by various medical and surgical conditions.Although symptomatology and specific clinical findings point directly to few causes, thorough history and in-depth clinical examination help to systematically narrow down the differential diagnosis.Clini

Isolated complex I deficiencies are one of the most commonly observed biochemical features in patients suffering from mitochondrial disorders.In the majority of these clinical cases the molecular bases of the diseases remain unknown suggesting Clampmeters the involvement of unidentified factors that are critical for complex I function.The Saccharom
