Respiratory health effects and immunological response to Thermoactinomyces among sugar cane workers in Nicaragua.

29 Jun 2009 Specific sensitization and respiratory effects associated with the inhalation of sugar cane dust were evaluated in a group of 51 Nicaraguan workers exposed to bagasse. A questionnaire interview, lung function test, serum precipitin tests for ... Read more...

Spuriously high thyrotropin values due to anti-thyrotropin antibodies in adult patients.

30 Dec 2008 BACKGROUND: Three adult patients presented with unexpectedly high thyrotropin (TSH) concentrations that were discordant with clinical and biochemical findings of euthyroid or hyperthyroid status. METHODS: Antibody interference in the TSH immunoassay ... Read more...

Comparative efficacy of standard AGID and precipitinogen inhibition test with monoclonal antibodies based competitive ELISA for the serology of Peste des Petits Ruminants in sheep and goats.

11 Jul 2008 This project was conducted to investigate the comparative efficiency of competitive ELISA (cELISA), standard Agar Gel Immunodiffusion Test (AGID) and Precipitinogen Inhibition Test (PIT) for the diagnosis of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in ... Read more...
