Omsk hemorrhagic fever is caused by Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus (OHFV), a member of the Flavivirus family. The current species name is Orthoflavivirus omskense [4] according to International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses taxonomy standards. The virus was discovered by Mikhail Chumakov and his colleagues between 1945 and 1947 in Omsk, Russia.
The Hierarchy of Occupational Exposure Limits, of which occupational exposure banding is a member. Occupational exposure banding, also known as hazard banding, is a process intended to quickly and accurately assign chemicals into specific categories (bands), each corresponding to a range of exposure concentrations designed to protect worker health.
Another alternative to oligoclonal bands for MS diagnosis is the MRZ-reaction (MRZR), a polyspecific antiviral immune response against the viruses of measles, rubella and zoster found in 1992. [ 22 ] In some reports the MRZR showed a lower sensitivity than OCB (70% vs. 100%), but a higher specificity (92% vs. 69%) for MS. [ 22 ]
The International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN; previously the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature) is an international standard for human chromosome nomenclature, which includes band names, symbols, and abbreviated terms used in the description of human chromosome and chromosome abnormalities.
An example of such a diagnosis is "fever of unknown origin": to explain the cause of elevated temperature the most common causes of unexplained fever (infection, neoplasm, or collagen vascular disease) must be ruled out. Other examples include: Fibromyalgia [9] Adult-onset Still's disease [10] Behçet's disease [11] Bell's palsy [12]
G-banding, G banding or Giemsa banding is a technique used in cytogenetics to produce a visible karyotype by staining condensed chromosomes. It is the most common chromosome banding method. [ 1 ] It is useful for identifying genetic diseases (mainly chromosomal abnormalities ) through the photographic representation of the entire chromosome ...
A small spike would be present in the gamma (γ) band in MGUS Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance ( MGUS ) is a plasma cell dyscrasia in which plasma cells or other types of antibody-producing cells secrete a myeloma protein , i.e. an abnormal antibody , into the blood ; this abnormal protein is usually found during standard ...
The results are analyzed either by simply counting and comparing bands or peaks in the TRFLP profile, or by matching bands from one or more TRFLP runs to a database of known species. A number of different software tools have been developed to automate the process of band matching, comparison and data basing of TRFLP profiles. [2]
