Abstract:

Context.— Histopathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate is based on light-microscopic examination of hematoxylin-eosin–stained tissue sections. Multiple factors, including preanalytic and analytic elements, affect the ability of the pathologist to accurately diagnose prostatic adenocarcinoma. False-negative diagnosis, that is, failure to diagnose prostatic adenocarcinoma, may have serious clinical consequences. It is important to delineate and understand those factors that may affect and cause histopathologic false-negative diagnoses of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Objectives.— To r

Abstract:

Summary Cattle heterozygous for deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase required more breeding services per calving when mated to other heterozygotes than did matings of normal cattle. Gestation length, number of breeding services per calving, and days from breeding to pregnancy examination were monitored on 759 complete gestations, 76 false-positive pregnancy diagnoses, 14 false-negative pregnancy diagnoses, and 413 negative pregnancy diagnoses in a dairy herd between 1983 and 1987. For complete gestations, 15 heterozygote × heterozygote matings required 3.13 ± 0.37 breeding services per

Abstract:

Objective To outline the utility of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) in the diagnosis of psychosis. Method Report current situation. Results The CIDI was designed as a fully structured interview to be used by lay interviewers. It generates false positive diagnoses in community surveys and false negative diagnoses in psychiatric settings. A new psychosis module has been developed to reduce these problems. Conclusions The diagnosis of psychosis by fully structured diagnostic interviews is difficult.

Voles of the genus Microtus possess a unique leukocyte that contains large purple inclusions visible with light microscopy. Counts of "azurocytes" from females in different reproductive states indicate that pregnancy can be diagnosed absolutely by the presence of at least 400 azurocytes/μL in the peripheral blood. Other criteria may be used for specific groups of animals to diagnose both sexual maturity and pregnancy with few false-positive diagnoses.

Abstract:

Background A thorough quality analysis of radiologic performance is cumbersome. Instead, the prevalence of missed cervical hip fractures might be used as a quality indicator. Purpose To validate a computer-based quality study of cervical hip fracture radiography. Material and Methods True and false negative and positive hip trauma radiography during 6 years was assessed manually. Patients with two or more radiologic hip examinations before surgery were selected by computer analysis of the databases. The first of two preoperative examinations might constitute a missed fracture. These cases were

Abstract:

Aberrant false-positive reactions in negative-controls during ELISA testing for Clostridium difficile indicated the potential for false-diagnoses. Experiments with 96-well products showed a maximum peak of false-positive immunoassay reactions with the provided negative-control reagents after 5 refrigeration-to-room temperature cycles (P<0.001), decreasing thereafter with additional refrigeration cycles. Because repetitive refrigeration causes a peak of false-positives, the use of single negative-controls per ELISA run might be insufficient to monitor aberrant preanalytical false-positives i

Abstract:

Hyperinsulinism due to dumping syndrome following gastric surgery is an uncommon condition. It is specified with hypoglycemic attacks. However, linking symptoms to dumping syndrome in each patient to whom gastric surgery was performed leads to inappropriate diagnosis and therapy. Insulinoma and other causes that give rise to hyperinsulinemia should not be ignored and these diagnoses should be excluded. In this paper, 71-year-old male patient who was followed up for 2 years with a false conclusion of dumping syndrome and operated on due to insulinoma diagnosed at endoscopic ultrasonography is p

Abstract:

Mycosis fungoides is the most common primary cutaneous lymphoma; however, it remains a significant diagnostic challenge, in part because of the overlap with several inflammatory dermatoses. Despite advances in immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics, false-positive, false-negative, and indeterminate diagnoses are not uncommon. In most cases, the overall balance of morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic features must be considered carefully because there are few sensitive and specific clues to the diagnosis. Moreover, an appropriate clinical presentation is essential to the diagnosis

This research aims to evaluate the possibilities of fetus ultrasound image classification using machine learning algorithms as normal or abnormal. Most of the earlier research works have produced a high percentage of false-negative classification results—recent research work aimed to reduce the rate of false-negative diagnoses. Also, the number of sonologists for analyzing prenatal ultrasound worldwide is very less and solved by developing an efficient algorithm, which reduces the percentage of false negatives in the diagnosis output.
