COMPARISON OF CARTRIDGE-BASED NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION TEST WITH FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION FINDINGS IN SUSPECTED TUBERCULAR LYMPHADENITIS

Comparison of Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test with Fine Needle Aspiration Findings in Suspected Tubercular Lymphadenitis

Lymphadenopathy is a common but non-specific presentation of tuberculosis.Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Ziehl Neelsen (ZN) stain are preferred investigations of choice in evaluating lymphadenopathy.The aspirate obtained from FNAC may be used to perform a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT).This study aimed to asses

Severe ozone air pollution in the Persian Gulf region

Recently it was discovered that over the Middle East during summer ozone mixing ratios can reach a pronounced maximum in the middle troposphere.Here we extend the analysis to the surface and show that especially in the Persian Gulf region conditions are highly favorable for ozone air pollution.We apply the EMAC atmospheric chemistry-climate model t
