Quantification of stato-kinetic dissociation by semi-automated perimetry

The difference in threshold sensitivities that are found when examining the visual field (VF) with static versus kinetic perimetric methods is called stato-kinetic dissociation (SKD). In this pilot study, we describe a semi-automated procedure for quantifying SKD. Fifteen patients with VF defects were examined with kinetic and static perimetry. SKD values were defined as positive when the stati...

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for determination of meropenem in rabbit plasma was developed. After addition of triazolam as internal standard (IS), protein precipitation by acetonitrile was used in sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Restek Allure (TM) PFP Propyl (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 5 μm) column with acetoni...

A sensitive and simple liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of gefitinib in rat plasma using one-step protein precipitation was developed. After addition of estazolam as internal standard (IS), protein precipitation by acetonitrile was used as sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an SB-C18 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 3.5 μm) col...

Testing for a Linear Ma Model against Threshold Ma Models

This paper investigates the (conditional) quasi-likelihood ratio test for the threshold in MA models. Under the hypothesis of no threshold, it is shown that the test statistic converges weakly to a function of the centred Gaussian process. Under local alternatives, it is shown that this test has nontrivial asymptotic power. The results are based on a new weak convergence of a linear marked empi...
