Diagnostic methods diseases

Invent improved diagnostic methods so that diseases can be detected, identified, and treated at an early stage. 

The goal of a diagnostic method is to detect all people within a population hearing the disease marker (no false-negative people) and to have no false-positive results, i.e., positive signal from a healthy person. The terms that characterize these demands are... 

These are essential diagnostic methods for syndrome identification as well as for giving a prognosis regarding the development of and recovery from the disease. A practitioner can obtain objective information from these diagnostic procedures. 

The target of a detailed diagnosis is generally achieved using various and mutually complementary examination techniques. Diagnostic methods in liver disease are founded on four diagnostic pillars, which are applied stepwise and nearly always provide the basis for an exact and detailed diagnosis. Complex or invasive techniques are only used when they are clearly indicated. (19) (s. fig. 4.2)...

Since disturbed acid phosphatase activity has been associated with pathological conditions, the research has focused on the development of diagnostic methods for detection of activity as a marker for the onset of the disease, and in some extent to the development of inhibitors rather than activators to treat those conditions in which the increase in enzyme activity has a direct effect on the evolution of the disease. In particular, only the development of bisphospho-nate derivatives as inhibitors for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase found their way to the market for treatment of osteoporosis [41], Typical inhibition of phosphatase activity includes anionic species such as L-(+)-tartrate, phosphate, vanadate, molybdate, and fluoride and neutral molecules such as formaldehyde. Vanadate ion,, is a competitive unspecific inhibitor for acid phosphatases by forming transition state analogs. Other oxoanions such as molybdate and tungstate also show inhibitory effects on...

Disease threatens the individual, not sodety.f Since there is no public interest pressing for a diagnosis of illness when an individual suffers pain (as there is for a diagnosis of criminality, when a crime has been committed), the patient is left free to use or avoid whatever medical-diagnostic methods he wishes. If he pursues the...
