Strep A Test √CE Marked
Beta-haemolytic Group A Streptococcus is a major cause of upper respiratory infection such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis and scarlet fever. Early diagnosis and treatment of Group A Streptococcal pharyngitis has been shown to reduce the severity of symptoms and further complications, such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. Conventional methods used for the detection of the disease depend on the isolation and subsequent identification of the organism. These methods often require 24-48 hours to complete.

The Best Time for Ovarian Function Examination

1. Gynecological ultrasonography: around the third day of menstruation Under the b-mode ultrasound, you can see a lot of small follicles in the ovaries. These follicles are the "small houses" of the eggs, which are medically called "sinus follicles". The amount of sinus follicle can reflect the quantity of "inventory" very well. However, due to the subjectivity and experience of ultrasound, as well as the differences between different doctors' techniques, there may be some differences in the evaluation results. 2. Basic sex hormones: the best test time is the 2rd-5th day of menstruation Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estrogen (E2) are indicators of ovarian age. When FSH>40 IU/L, it indicates that ovarian function has been exhausted, that is, there is almost no inventory. When FSH>10 IU/L or FSH/LH>2-3.6, the ovarian reserve function is often decreased. Or both are normal, and E2>80pg/ml suggests that

Menopausal Clinical Manifestations

The most typical symptoms of perimenopausal syndrome are hot flashes, mostly happens between 45 and 55 years old. And most women can have symptoms of varying severity. Some people begin to show symptoms during the transitional period of menopause, which lasts for 2 to 3 years after menopause. Postoperative perimenopausal syndrome (perimenopausal syndrome) usually occurs 2 weeks after surgery and peaks 2 months after surgery, may lasting for 2 years. 1. Menstrual changes Menstrual cycle changes are the earliest clinical symptoms in perimenopausal period, which can be divided into three types: (1) prolonged menstrual cycle, decreased menstrual volume, and finally menopause. (2) irregular menstrual cycle, prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual volume, and even continuous bleeding, and then gradually reduced and stopped. (3) sudden cessation of menstruation, which is relatively rare. Because ovary does not have ovulation, estrogen level fluctuates, it is easy to produce endometria

Detection of Hepatitis C Virus

Detection of hepatitis c virus (HCV) infection includes serological detection and nucleic acid detection (NAT). The former includes HCV antibody (anti-hcv), core antigen detection, which includes qualitative/quantitative RNA detection and genotype/subtype detection. Anti -HCV detection is the most widely used HCV infection screening test, easy to operate. It takes less time and low cost, but it has a long window period, so it cannot distinguish between active infection and virus elimination, thus it is not suitable for people with immunodeficiency. HCV RNA is the direct evidence of viral infection. In the past, the detection sensitivity of qualitative RNA was relatively high, but with the maturity of real-time quantitative PCR technology, the detection sensitivity of quantitative PCR has been continuously improved, and the linear range has been continuously broadened, which is applicable to the monitoring of clinical antiviral treatment response, and is gradually replacing qualitative
