The first public meeting of the general anti-Nebraska movement where the name Republican was suggested for a new anti-slavery party was held on March 20, 1854 in a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin. The name was partly chosen to pay homage to Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party.
Molecular tests can detect influenza viral RNA (positive results) for a longer duration than other influenza testing (e.g., antigen testing-immunofluorescence or rapid influenza diagnostic tests).his guidance focuses upon molecular assays for influenza as they are increasingly being used in clinical settings (1). Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and other molecular assays can identify the presence of influenza viral RNA in respiratory specimens.
Influenza testing may be used to help diagnose an influenza infection (flu) and sometimes to help document the presence of influenza in the community. Testing may also be used to identify the type and/or the strain of influenza causing the infection.apid flu tests are best used within the first 48 hours of the onset of symptoms to help diagnose influenza and determine whether or not antiviral drugs are a treatment option. Rapid tests vary in their ability to detect influenza.
