EVALUATION OF IN-HOUSE LOOP-MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION FOR TUBERCULOSIS DIAGNOSIS COMPARED WITH XPERT MTB/RIF

Evaluation of in-house loop-mediated isothermal amplification for tuberculosis diagnosis compared with Xpert MTB/RIF

Introduction: To evaluate the diagnostic performances of an in-house loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) kit and the Xpert MTB/RIF test for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in a resource-limited setting, this study was performed at Headband the University Teaching Hospital, Ministry of Health, the Republic of Zambia.Methodology: Tw

Model-stable universality of the air shower electromagnetic component: An approach to solving the mass composition problem

On the basis of the scaling approach and CORSIKA simulations data the radial scale factor of the lateral distribution of electrons in extensive air showers is confirmed as a potentially effective primary mass estimator, and its sensitivity to hadronic interaction model is investigated.It is shown that improved composition results both on Sub Assemb
