Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification.

Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) is a primer-dependent technology that can be used for the continuous amplification of nucleic acids in a single mixture at one temperature.

Grading and outcome prediction of cases of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage by bedside xenon cerebral blood flowmetry.

Ninety-six patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage underwent serial measurement of regional cerebral blood flow throughout the period of their treatment over the period of 5 years (1983 to 1988). A portable bedside xenon cerebral blood flow machine was used in this study and the initial slope index (ISI) values showed a clear relationship between reduction of cerebral blood flow and deteriorating clinical grade. Furthermore, serial measurements showed a statistically significant relationship between drop of cerebral blood flow, at anytime during the course of the disease, and fatal or less than satisfactory outcome.

The use of o-dianisidine for serum haptoglobin electrophoresis using cellulose acetate.

1. Due to the carcinogenicity of benzidine, a method by which o-dianisidine is used to stain serum haptoglobin is described. Serum haptoglobin is determined by electrophoresis using cellulose acetate as the medium. 2. A comparison of the two staining systems demonstrates good agreement. 0-Dianisidine can be substituted for benzidine without loss of specificity.
