The diagnosis of food allergy: protocol for a systematic review | Allergy, Asthma and Immunology

The diagnosis of food allergy: protocol for a systematic review | Allergy, Asthma and Immunology | Immunology Diagnosis | Scoop.it
Alfredo Corell's insight:

The literature on diagnostic tests for food allergy currently lacks clear consensus regarding the accuracy and safety of different investigative approaches. The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is in the process of developing its Guideline for Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis, and this systematic review is one of seven inter-linked evidence syntheses that are being undertaken in order to provide a state-of-the-art synopsis of the current evidence base in relation to epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis and clinical management, and impact on quality of life, which will be used to inform the formulation of clinical recommendations. The aim of this systematic review will be to assess the diagnostic accuracy of tests aimed at supporting the clinical diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy.

An automatic device for detection and classification of malaria parasite species in thick blood film

An automatic device for detection and classification of malaria parasite species in thick blood film | Immunology Diagnosis | Scoop.it
Current malaria diagnosis relies primarily on microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained thick and thin blood films.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
Conclusions

This work presents an automatic device for both detection and classification of malaria parasite species on thick blood film. The system is based on digital image analysis and featured with motorized stage units, designed to easily be mounted on most conventional light microscopes used in the endemic areas. The constructed motorized module could control the movements of objective lens and microscope stage at high precision for effective acquisition of quality images for analysis. The analysis program could accurately classify parasite species, into Pf or Pv, based on distribution of chromatin size.

It is a european consortium working in an useful and important homogeneization protocols for diagnosis of haematologic malignancies in Europe. The history stars fabulous. Then, when your read the papers and see that some very popular and good flow cytometers aren't there (as the Galios, for example), and when you see also an important byass in the recomended providers for fluorescent monoclonals... it doesn't seem so fabulous.

Useful? for whom?

A negative result with this test does not mean that you are definitely not infected with HIV, particularly when exposure may have been within the previous 3 months.If your test is negative and you engage in activities that put you at risk for HIV on a regular basis, you should test regularly.This product should not be used to make decisions on behavior that may put you at increased risk for HIV.

5 Things to Consider when Developing Clinical Biomarkers

5 Things to Consider when Developing Clinical Biomarkers | Immunology Diagnosis | Scoop.it
Developing cellular biomarkers is particularly challenging when it comes to biomarker validation, because flow cytometry has limitations regarding sample stability and multiplexing. Moreover, the development of highly multiplex flow cytometry assays is time-consuming and expanding existing panels can be quite cumbersome. ChipCytometry is a new, imaging based, cytometry technology bridging the gap between biomarker discovery and clinical biomarker validation through flexible “sequential singleple
