What is Gc RNA test?

What is Gc RNA test?

Description: The Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) assays are in vitro nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for the qualitative detection or ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from CT and GC. They are intended for the use as an aid in the diagnosis of both CT and GC in male and female patients.

What is chlamydia GC RNA TMA?

Clinical Significance. Chlamydia/Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA, TMA, Urogenital – C. trachomatis infections are the leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. C. trachomatis is known to cause cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), epididymitis and proctitis.

What is gonorrhoeae RNA?

Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA, TMA, Urogenital – Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococci) is the causative agent of gonorrhea. In men, this disease generally results in anterior urethritis accompanied by purulent exudate. In women, the disease is most often found in the cervix, but the vagina and uterus may also be infected.

What is Neisseria amplified?

Neisseria gonorrhoeae by Amplified Probe Technique has been validated for female endocervical and vaginal swabs, urethral swabs from symptomatic males, male and female urine, throat and rectal specimens. For reliable test results, follow instructions for proper specimen collection and transport conditions.

What is urine GC test?

This is a test on a urine sample to check for gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Gonorrhea can be serious if not treated.

What is C trachomatis by TMA?

Chlamydia trachomatis RNA, TMA, Urogenital – C. C. trachomatis is known to cause cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), epididymitis and proctitis. It is also the most frequent cause of non-gonococcal urethritis in men. Among women, the consequences of chlamydial infections are severe if left untreated.

Is gonorrhea curable?

Yes, gonorrhea can be cured with the right treatment. It is important that you take all of the medication your doctor prescribes to cure your infection. Medication for gonorrhea should not be shared with anyone. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not undo any permanent damage caused by the disease.

What is Neisseria gonorrhoeae amplified probe?

How long does it take to get NAAT results?

Some NAATs are considered rapid tests that are performed at or near the place where the specimen is collected and can provide the result within minutes, whereas the time to complete laboratory-based NAATs ranges from less than an hour to more than a day.

What is GC amplified?

The CT and GC Direct Amplified Test is a gene amplification based technology that represents one of the most sensitive methods for the detection of CT and GC in urogenital samples. This test has the important added advantage that patient urine samples may be used to reliably screen for the presence of CT and GC.

What does GC negative mean?

Negative/Normal: No gonorrhea bacteria were found. If you have certain symptoms, you may get additional STD tests to find out the cause. Positive/Abnormal: You are infected with the gonorrhea bacteria. You will be treated with antibiotics to cure the infection.

How is Chlamydia trachomatis RNA TMA urogenital treated?

Chlamydia trachomatis is treated with antibiotics. You might receive a one-time dose, or you might need to take the medication daily or multiple times a day for five to 10 days. In most cases, the infection resolves within one to two weeks. During that time, you should abstain from sex.

What do you need to know about superpath hip replacement?

SuperPath ® Hip Replacement. SuperPaths are percutaneously-assisted total hip surgery, or SuperPath ® surgery, is a newer, more novel technique of performing a standard total hip arthroplasty where your surgeon utilizes a smaller initial incision and, more importantly, a very limited dissection in the deep tissues.

What kind of surgery is a superpath?

SuperPaths are percutaneously-assisted total hip surgery, or SuperPath® surgery, is a newer, more novel technique of performing a standard total hip arthroplasty where your surgeon utilizes a smaller initial incision and, more importantly, a very limited dissection in the deep tissues.

Do you need a cane after a superpath hip replacement?

Depending on your recovery you may be sent home with a cane or walker, however, most patients do not need assistive devices after a SUPERPATH® hip replacement. Once you are home you may be a little restricted in your ability to perform normal daily activities.

What’s the name of the hip replacement surgery?

According to one source, because of this, the SUPERPATH® hip replacement technique has been nicknamed the “ship in a bottle” technique. Traditional hip replacement surgeries can be described as posterior approaches or anterior approaches.
