Pneumatic tube systems (PTSs) for the transport of blood samples are regaining popularity in medical centers after earlier reports that their use could introduce preanalytical distortions such as hemolysis and changes gases.We drew duplicate from 30 volunteers. One sample was hand transported, other transported through a PTS together with mini-data logger provided continuous measurements temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration. After were analyzed at same time. We looked possible...
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major causative agent of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). The ability to form biofilms supports this highly selective pathogenic potential. In vitro studies essentially relying on phenotypic assays and genetic approaches have provided detailed picture the molecular events contributing biofilm assembly. A limitation in these use synthetic growth media, which significantly differs from environmental conditions S. encounters during host invasion. Building...
Emergency departments worldwide are increasingly adopting rapid diagnosis of patients with suspected myocardial infarction (MI) based on high-sensitivity troponin. We set out to assess the diagnostic accuracy a cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay in prospective study.In cohort study including 1800 presenting acute MI, we developed and temporally validated 0/1 h algorithm using Siemens Atellica IM hs-cTnI assay. The was established first 928 following 872 patients.The derived consisted...
Abstract Background Current ESC guidelines on management of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) recommend rapid diagnostic protocols using validated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays (1). While established are available for several hs-cTn assays, data the performance Siemens Atellica IM High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I assay is limited. Methods In a cohort study including 1,800 patients presenting with suspected acute MI. Final diagnosis MI was adjudicated by...
