What's the difference between cand and kand?

Cand


Definition:

  • (n.) Fluor spar. See Kand.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We examined the reliability of Cand-Tec to diagnose invasive candidiasis in 142 consecutive in-patients intensively treated with chemo-radiation therapy.
  • (2) We analyzed 438 specimens from 57 patients requiring perioperative CVC management for more than three weeks, and investigated usefulness of CAND-TEC comparing with other serological methods.
  • (3) In the experiments with rabbits Cand-Tec was, in spite of its being positive in blood culture, always negative.
  • (4) Three different Candida antigen tests were studied in internal-surgical patients: two tests for Candida mannan antigen (C-Mannan-Dresden, Pastorex-Candida and Cand-Tec test for cytoplasmatic antigen.
  • (5) 3) Comparative examination of CAND-TEC and other testing methods revealed a correlation of CAND-TEC with D-arabinitol in cases showing 1:4 and 1:8 less than or equal to, but not other significant difference.
  • (6) For the Cand-Tec, the sensitivity was not related to the presence of antibodies, nor was it related to the number of samples per patient.
  • (7) The lack of sensitivity and specificity of the Cand-Tec Candida antigen test precludes its use in the diagnosis of disseminated candidiasis.
  • (8) Weekly use of the Cand-Tec test did not improve early detection of invasive candidiasis, providing only a mean interval of 0.4 day from the first positive Cand-Tec result to a definitive diagnosis of invasive candidiasis by blood culture, tissue biopsy, or autopsy.
  • (9) Coexistent disseminated candidiasis in some candidemic patients may have accounted for some positive Cand-Tec tests and possible overestimation of the sensitivity of the test for candidemia.
  • (10) Two commercially available latex agglutination tests: Cand-TEC(TM) from RAMCO Laboratories, Inc., Houston, Texas, USA, for the detection of a heat labile Candida antigen, and LA-Candida Antigen Detection System from Immuno-Mycologics (IMMY), Inc., Norman, Oklahoma, USA, for the detection of Candida mannan antigen, and Own LAT, a self-prepared latex agglutination test for the detection of Candida mannan antigen were tested on 467 sera of patients at risk for deep-seated Candidosis.
  • (11) In the context of current clinical management strategies for suspected fungal infection, the Candida antigen detection assay (Cand-Tec) is not a reliable method for diagnosis of deep candidiasis in neutropenic patients.
  • (12) A positive antigen test preceded other diagnostic indications for 6 of 10 Pastorex-positive patients and 5 of 9 Cand-Tec-positive patients.
  • (13) CAND-TEC would be useful in detecting Candida infection compared with conventional methods, and the fungus infection was much more frequent incidence than ever expected.
  • (14) In the gastrointestinal colonization model followed by systemic infection in neutropenic mice, the mannan antigen test became positive after 3 weeks of colonization with increased number of Candida of the stool, and Cand-Tec became positive after 5 weeks in neutropenic mice.
  • (15) The Cand-tec antigen test shows poor specificity and poor positive predictive value for the detection of systemic candidiasis in burn patients.
  • (16) The examination of E-TKA may be preclinical diagnosis to CAND.
  • (17) To differentiate the two cases with transient fungemia from those with systemic candidosis HA- and D-arabinitol tests were considered to be superior to Cand-Tec and F.I.
  • (18) Detection of serum mannan by enzyme immunoassay was less sensitive but more specific than the Cand-Tec Candida detection system for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis.
  • (19) The correlation of Cand-Tec (candida antigen detection) with clinical findings and results in passive hemagglutination and immunoelectrophoresis (antibody detection) has been evaluated retrospectively.
  • (20) We evaluated the Cand-Tec (Ramco Laboratories Inc., Houston, Tex.)

Kand


Definition:

  • (n.) Fluor spar; -- so called by Cornish miners.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Cortical superfusion of GABA during the infusion of leptazol, enhanced kand prolonged the wave-like phase, whilst bicuculline reduced it.
