The rapid strep test (RST) is a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) that is widely used in clinics to assist in the diagnosis of bacterial pharyngitis caused by group A streptococci (GAS), sometimes termed strep throat. There are currently several types of rapid strep test in use, each employing a distinct technology. ... | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Summary | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test |
A rapid strep test may assist a clinician in deciding whether to prescribe an antibiotic to a person with pharyngitis, a common infection of the throat. Viral infections are responsible for the majority of pharyngitis, but a significant proportion (20% to 40% in children and 5% to 15% in adults) is caused by bacterial ... | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Medical use | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Medical use |
GAS pharyngitis is a self-limiting infection that will usually resolve within a week without medication. However, antibiotics may reduce the length and severity of the illness and reduce the risk of certain rare but serious complications, including rheumatic heart disease.RSTs may also have a public health benefit. | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Medical use | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Medical use |
In addition to undesirable side-effects in the individual, inappropriate antibiotic use is thought to contribute to the development of drug-resistant strains of bacteria. By helping to identify bacterial infection, RSTs may help to limit the use of antibiotics in viral illnesses, where they are not beneficial.Some clin... | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Medical use | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Medical use |
The person’s throat is first swabbed to collect a sample of mucus. In most RSTs, this mucus sample is then exposed to a reagent containing antibodies that will bind specifically to a GAS antigen. A positive result is signified by a certain visible reaction. | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Procedure | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Procedure |
There are three major types of RST: First, a latex fixation test, which was developed in the 1980s and is largely obsolete. It employs latex beads covered with antigens that will visibly agglutinate around GAS antibodies if these are present. Second, a lateral flow test, which is currently the most widely used RST. | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Procedure | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Procedure |
The sample is applied to a strip of nitrocellulose film and, if GAS antigens are present, these will migrate along the film to form a visible line of antigen bound to labeled antibodies. Third, optical immunoassay is the newest and more expensive test. It involves mixing the sample with labeled antibodies and then with... | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Procedure | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Procedure |
The specificity of RSTs for the presence of GAS is at least 95%, with some studies finding close to 100% specificity. Therefore, if the test result is positive, the presence of GAS is highly likely. However, 5% to 20% of individuals carry GAS in their throats without symptomatic infection, so the presence of GAS in an ... | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Interpretation | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Interpretation |
Therefore, a negative result from such a test cannot be used to exclude GAS pharyngitis, a considerable disadvantage compared with microbial culture, which has a sensitivity of 90% to 95%. However, optical immunoassay RSTs have been found to have a much higher sensitivity of 94%.Although an RST cannot distinguish GAS i... | Wikipedia | Page: Rapid strep test | Section: Interpretation | Breadcrumb: Rapid_strep_test > Interpretation |

Apples appear in many religious traditions, often as a mystical or forbidden fruit. One of the problems identifying apples in religion, mythology and folktales is that as late as the 17th century, the word "apple" was used as a generic term for all (foreign) fruit other than berries, but including nuts.

The notion of the apple as a symbol of sin is reflected in artistic renderings of the fall from Eden. When held in Adam's hand, the apple symbolises sin.

Reverse speech is a pseudoscientific topic first advocated by David John Oates which gained publicity when it was mentioned on Art Bell's nightly Coast to Coast AM radio talk show. It is based upon the theory that during spoken language production, human speakers subconsciously produce hidden messages that give insight... | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Summary | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech |
Oates' claim is that, on average, once in every 15–20 seconds of casual conversation a person produces two related sentences—a "forward-spoken" message that is heard consciously, and a "backwards" message unconsciously embedded in the person's speech. These two modes of speech, forward and backward, are supposedly depe... | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Claims | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech > Claims |
The most famous recording that allegedly demonstrates this is the speech given by Neil Armstrong at the time of the first human lunar landing on 20 July 1969. If played backwards, the words "small step for man" sound somewhat like "Man will spacewalk. "An alternative explanation for this phenomenon is pareidolia, the t... | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Claims | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech > Claims |
Pareidolia is even more likely to occur when a person consciously tries to detect a pattern, as is the case for someone listening for intelligible phrases in backwards speech. The power of suggestion is then used to nudge the listener to hear what the presenter wants him to hear. David John Oates, for example, almost a... | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Claims | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech > Claims |
Most academics in the field of linguistics have not paid attention to Oates' work, and it has been called a pseudoscience. For the most part, universities and research institutes have refused to test Oates' theories because of a lack of theoretical basis to make his predictions even worth testing, and the fact that man... | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Rejection by the scientific community | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech > Rejection by the scientific community |
Because of the "dogmatic" tone of Oates' material, reverse speech has been compared to "fringe literature. "Oates' own claims about the applications of reverse speech have also been challenged. One report has questioned whether reverse speech was ever really used in police work, as Oates claimed. | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Rejection by the scientific community | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech > Rejection by the scientific community |
Likewise, his claim that reverse speech has applications in psychology and psychotherapy is not supported by mainstream research in those fields. Oates' work has been described as "dangerous" because of its potential for misuse and the likelihood of leading to false accusations of people in criminal courts, similarly t... | Wikipedia | Page: Reverse speech | Section: Rejection by the scientific community | Breadcrumb: Reverse_speech > Rejection by the scientific community |
