Medical and psychosocial diagnoses in women with a history of intimate partner violence.

10 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We characterized the relative risk of a wide range of diagnoses in women with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) compared with never-abused women. METHODS: The sample comprised 3568 English-speaking women who were randomly ... Read more...

Medical devices; immunology and microbiology devices; classification of respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay. Final rule.

7 Oct 2009 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the classification of the respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay into class II (special controls). The special controls that will apply to the device are three guidance documents ... Read more...

Evaluation of breath biomarkers and serum haptoglobin concentration for diagnosis of bovine respiratory disease in heifers newly arrived at a feedlot.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate exhaled N(2)O (eN(2)O), exhaled CO (eCO), and serum haptoglobin concentrations as diagnostic criteria for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and determine whether a combination of biomarkers would be useful for predicting health ... Read more...
