Diagnostic Handbook

Examples of Diagnostic Handbook in the following topics:

• Babylonian Culture

  • Hallmarks of Babylonian culture include mudbrick architecture, extensive astronomical records and logs, diagnostic medical handbooks, and translations of Sumerian literature.
  • The most extensive Babylonian medical text, however, is the Diagnostic Handbook written by the ummânū, or chief scholar, Esagil-kin-apli of Borsippa.
  • The Diagnostic Handbook additionally introduced the methods of therapy and etiology outlining the use of empiricism, logic, and rationality in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
  • In particular, Esagil-kin-apli discovered a variety of illnesses and diseases and described their symptoms in his Diagnostic Handbook, including those of many varieties of epilepsy and related ailments.

• Disease Diagnosis

  • From the point of view of statistics the diagnostic procedure involves classification tests.
  • The initial task is to detect a medical indication indicating a diagnostic procedure.
  • A diagnostic test is any kind of medical test performed to aid in the diagnosis or detection of disease.
  • Diagnostic tests can also be used to provide prognostic information on people with established disease.
  • Even during an already ongoing diagnostic procedure, there can be an indication to perform another, separate, diagnostic procedure for another, potentially concomitant, disease or condition.

• The Future of Diagnostic Immunology

  • The future of diagnostic immunology lies in the production of specific antibody-based assays and the development of improved vaccines.
  • Advances in diagnostic immunology are largely driven by instrumentation, automation, and the implementation of less complex and more standardized procedures.

• Group B Streptococcus Colonization

  • A number of different tests are used as diagnostic tools.
  • A very common diagnostic test is the CAMP test named after the three people that discovered it.
  • The best diagnostic tool will allow identification during labor.
  • PCR techniques are faster but they are still complicated and not fast enough to be used widely for diagnostics once labor has started.
  • Describe the pathogenic characteristics, symptoms and diagnostic test used for Group B streptococcus (GBS)

• Diagnostic Blood Tests

  • Blood tests are laboratory analyses performed on a blood sample typically taken from a vein in the arm for diagnostic purposes.

• The Diagnostic Scheme

  • Diagnostic methods include microbial culture, microscopy, biochemical tests and molecular diagnostics:
  • Molecular diagnostics using technologies based upon the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method will become nearly ubiquitous gold standards of diagnostics of the near future, for several reasons.
  • Outline the various types of diagnostic methods used to diagnose a microbial infection

• Isotopes in Medicine

  • Therefore, with some diseases, nuclear medicine studies can identify medical problems at an earlier stage than other diagnostic tests.
  • This process is unlike a diagnostic X-ray, where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.
  • Nuclear medicine differs from most other imaging in that diagnostic tests primarily show the physiological function of the system being investigated, as opposed to traditional anatomic imaging, such as CT or MRI.
