The researcher’s report indicates that the HFRM is a predictor of falls in patients with a reliability of 0.98-0.99 as evidenced test-retest reliability. To test validity‚ a sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 69% was reported. To evaluate the efficiency of hourly rounding on falls‚

IMMUNOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES: Immunochemistry is an advanced area of immunology. It deals with the chemical components and chemistry (chemical reactions) of immunological phenomena that is of antibody and antigen. Immunochemical methods are processes utilizing the highly specific affinity of an antibody for its antigen. It detects the distribution of a given protein or antigen in tissues or cells. The methods used for the immunochemical analysis are called Immunochemical techniques. Characteristics/Advantages

Introduction Osteomyelitis is an ancient disease dating back to 460 BC (Schmitt‚ 2017). It is a bone infection‚ usually caused by bacteria‚ that can be either acute or chronic. This condition usually occurs as a result of an infection in one part of the body that is transported through the bloodstream to a bone in a distant location. Most cases stem from Diabetes because bacterial infections are a large risk factor for the diabetic patient due to high glucose levels weakening the immune system.

Optical Colonoscopy was invented in 1969 and has been the gold standard for CRC screening ever since (Wolf‚ 1989). The gold standard is its 90% sensitivity for adenoma 5mm‚ and 97% sensitivity for advanced adenoma based on employing CTC as a standard. Colonoscopy is an invasive imaging procedure which visually examines the whole colon and permits the gastroenterologist to perform biopsies on suspicious polyps. A few additional disadvantages to this procedure besides the invasiveness are the prep
