Evaluation of a novel chromogenic medium for Candida spp. identification and comparison with CHROMagar™ Candida for the detection of Candida auris in…
2020
Abstract A shift to Candida non-albicans infections has been noted during the last years, and the emergence of multi-resistant Candida auris has complicated their management. The aim of this study was first to compare the performance of the novel chromogenic medium CHROMagar™ Candida Plus (CHROMagar, France) with CHROMagar™ Candida (Becton Dickinson, Germany) for the presumptive identification of Candida species; and then, to evaluate its utility in the detection of C. auris in surveillance samples. CHROMagar™ Candida Plus showed a good performance compared with the reference medium CHROMagar™ Candida. Sensitivity and specificity were 100% in both media for tested species at 48 h of incubat…
Emily Dickinson: An August Love on Earth
2018
Esta tesis examina tres de los cuarenta libros manuscritos, o cuadernillos, de la poeta Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). La forma, el contenido y la disposición de estos tres cuadernillos 11, 12 y 13 (los cuales incluyen un total de 66 poemas y fueron compilados durante 1863), confirman la presencia de un amante cuya figura supuso una fuerza inspiradora durante este período. Leer estos tres cuadernillos consecutivamente nos ayuda a entender la historia y proceso emocional de Dickinson; los poemas incluidos reflejan un amor que es obvio en el cuadernillo 11, puesto que la sitúa en un estado de expectativa constante. Este amor comienza a disminuir en el cuadernillo 12, situación que puede constat…
The undiscovered country from whose bourn some travelers do return. The final frontier in Poe and Dickinson.
2002
Paul.S.Derrick@uv.es El ensayo empieza comentando el relato de Poe, “MS. Found in a Bottle” como una expresión americana del concepto romántico de que la muerte es la fuente de toda imaginación y, como consecuencia, de toda obra de arte. También sugiere que este relato anticipa fenómenos culturales posteriores como la psicología freudiana y las novelas absurdas de Kafka y Beckett. Continua considerando hasta qué punto las diversas cuestiones que Poe trataba, a saber, la idea de la frontera aplicada a las líneas divisorias entre la razón y la sinrazón, entre el lenguaje y el silencio y, finalmente, entre la vida y la muerte, se ven reflejadas en la poesía modernista de Stevens y Eliot. Termi…
Becton Dickinson Directigen EZ Flu A+B assay in the diagnosis of pandemic influenza A H1N1 2009 virus infection in adult patients
2011
To the editor: The recent emergence and spread of the pandemic influenza A H1N1 2009 virus demands the evaluation of rapid antigen assays for their ability to detect this novel subtype of influenza A virus. Data on the ability of BD Directigen EZ Flu A+B immunochromatographic (IC) assay (Beckton Dickinson and Company, Sparks, MD, USA) to detect the pandemic influenza A virus strain in fresh clinical samples have been recently published. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 In these studies, the majority of specimens were collected from pediatric patients, and the sensitivities reported ranged from 46·8% to 76·6%. As viral shedding in the upper respiratory tract during influenza virus infection is of greater m…
An Adapted Gating Strategy Integrating a Myelomonocytic Window Is Necessary For Correct Flow Cytometric Diagnosis In a Large Proportion Of AML With M…
2013
Abstract Background Previously, it has been reported, that AML with mutated NPM1 is associated with a distinctive immunophenotype. In particular, low or absent expression of CD34 accompanied by high expression of CD33, and – at least in part of the cases - absence of HLA-DR expression was reported. CD45/side scatter (SSC) gating is widely used for the identification of blasts by flow cytometry (FC). Blast cell gates typically are defined by a low SSC and moderate CD45 expression. However, in a number of patients with NPM1mutation this typical blast cell gate comprises significantly lower blast percentages when compared to the morphological evaluation. In these patient samples a second popul…
Hematopoietic Peripheral Circulating Blood Stem Cells As an Independent Marker of Good Transfusion Management in Patients with Beta-Thalassemia
2015
Abstract Aim Aim of the current study was to prospectively evaluate the potential role of peripheral circulating CD34+ stem cells as new independent marker of appropriate hemopoietic balance in patients with thalassemia major and intermedia. Materials and methods Peripheral blood samples from patients with thalassemia major (TM) and intermedia (TI) were drawn. Peripheral circulating CD34+ stem cells, CF-GEMM, CFU-GM and BFU-GM were assayed with monoclonal antibodies for CD34 and clonogenic tests, according to standard procedures and ISHAGE method (BD stem cell enumeration kit, Becton Dickinson; H4434, Stem Cell Technology). Demographic and clinical data were recorded from each enrolled subj…
