[Comparative analysis of serum analyte level measurements by commercial diagnostic kits from four manufacturers (Alkor-Bio, Roche, Diagnostic Products Corporation-DCP, and Bayer Corporation)].

Hydrocortisone, progesterone, testosterone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, chorionic gonadotropin, prolactin, alpha-fetoprotein, luteinizing, follicle-stimulating, and thyrotropic hormones were measured in human sera and in Lyphochek Immunoassay Plus Control reference sera (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA) using 4 commercial kits (Alkor Bio Inc. and Roche, automated analyzer Roche Cobas Core; DPC, automated analyzer Immulite; Bayer, automated analyzer ACS:180). Coordination and correlation between these kits was observed, the coordination decreasing in the series Alkor Bio/Bayer, Alkor Bio/Roche, and Alkor Bio/DPC.

[Diagnostics and differential diagnostics of dementia from the view of internal medicine--geriatrics: hazards of the false positive diagnose].

Psychosocial consequences and results of diagnosis of dementia are cited, and the risk of false positive misdiagnosis is stressed. We notice importance of multidimensional comprehensive approach and assessment. The list of most important causes of misdiagnosis of dementia as well as of the functional decompensation is presented with special focusing on delirium.

[Comparative assessment of the diagnostic value of the laboratory diagnostic methods for trichomoniasis].

The authors compared the sensitivity and specificity of currently available methods for laboratory diagnosis of trichomoniasis, by examining 971 persons. The highest frequency of T. vaginalis was detected by studies of a stained smear (37.4%), culture tests (19.0%); polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (17.1%), immunofluorescence tests (12.7%), wet smear test (2.7%). Enzyme immunoassay yielded positive results in 36.2% of cases. The use of PCR and culture tests frequently provided similar results (92.0%). The authors have proposed an algorithm of a laboratory study including wet smear microscopy, PCR, and culture tests as basic methods. They have noted the higher detection rates of T. vaginalis when analyzing during draining physiotherapeutic procedures (endocervical vibratory massage with vacuum aspiration in females and pneumovibratory massage of the prostate with endourethral chemotrypsin electrophoresis in males).
