 | Hymas, Weston C.; Hillyard, David R. | Description and validation of a novel real-time RT-PCR enterovirus assay | Enteroviruses are a leading cause of aseptic meningitis in adult and pediatric populations. We describe the development of a real-time RT-PCR assay that amplifies a small target in the 5' nontranslated region upstream of the classical Rotbart enterovirus amplicon. The assay includes an RNA internal ... | RT-PCR enterovirus assay; Rotbart enterovirus amplicon; Aseptic meningitis | 2008 |

 | Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L. | Effects of hemoglobin (Hb) E and HbD traits on measurements of glycated Hb (HbA1c) by 23 methods. | Glycohemoglobin (GHB), reported as hemoglobin (Hb) A1c, is a marker of long-term glycemic control in patients with diabetes and is directly related to risk for diabetic complications. HbE and HbDare the second and fourth most common Hb variants worldwide. We investigated the accuracy of HbA1c measur... | Glycohemoglobin; GHB; Glycated Hb; Glycemic control | 2008 |

 | Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L. | Effects of hemoglobin C and S traits on the results of 14 commercial glycated hemoglobin assays | Glycated hemoglobin is widely used in the management of diabetes mellitus. At least 300,000 Americans with diabetes mellitus have the hemoglobin (Hb) C or S trait. The accuracy of HbA1c methods can be adversely affected by the presence of these traits. We evaluated the effects of HbC and HbS traits ... | Glycated hemoglobin assays; Hemoglobin C trait; Hemoglobin S trait | 2008 |

 | Jaskowski, Troy D. | Diagnostic performance of phospholipid-specific assays for the evaluation of antiphospholipid syndrome | The diagnostic performance of commercially available nonstandard antiphospholipid (aPL) assays for the evaluation of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is unknown. In 62 patients with APS, 88 with recurrent pregnancy loss, 50 healthy blood donors, and 24 women with one or more successful pregnancies, w... | APS; Phospholipid-specific assays; Diagnostic performance | 2008-06-01 |
