METHODS: Seventy-four cirrhotic patients with hepatitis B and 25 healthy volunteers underwent diffusion-weighted imaging using b values of 0, 500, 800 and 1000 sec/mm2. The apparent diffusion ...
Performance of Human Fecal Anaerobe-Associated PCR-Based Assays in a Multi-Labo...
Layton, Blythe; Yiping, Cao; Ebentier, Darcy; Kaitlyn, Hanley; Ballesté, Elisenda; Brandão, João; Byappanahalli, Muruleedhara; Converse, ReaganA number of PCR-based methods for detecting human fecal material in environmental waters have been developed over the past decade, but these methods have rarely received independent comparative testing in large multi-laboratory studies. Here, we evaluated ten of these methods (BacH, BacHum-UCD, B. thetaiotaomicron (BtH), BsteriF1, gyrB, HF183 endpoint, HF183 SYBR, HF183 Taqman, HumM2, and M. smithii nifH (Mnif)...
