[Clinical evaluation of routinely applied highly sensitive TSH-RIA].
Forty-one routine TSH assays were carried out by applying newly developed, highly sensitive TSH RIA (T. Mori, et al., Folia Endocrinol. Jap., 56: 1231, 1980). B/B0 percent of the least standard point (0.156 microU/ml) was consistently lower than B0 and higher than that of 0.31 microU/ml. The distributions of assayed TSH concentrations in 1394 sera revealed that 34.8% of the total were in an und...
متن کاملClinical utility of work-of-breathing measurements in COPD
The measurement of the mechanical work of breathing (WOB) has been used in clinical research for over four decades and has provided valuable insights into the pathophysiological derangements that exist in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These WOB calculations are based on the principle that work is performed when pressure changes the volume of the respiratory system....
متن کاملClinical utility of leukemia cell terminal transferase measurements.
Interest in the DNA-synthetic enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) has developed from two sets of observations: first, in normal animals, it occurs only in immature thymic lymphocytes and in a subpopulation of bone marrow lymphocytes; second, it is present in the blast cells of almost all patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A prospective trial to evaluate blast cell TdT as...
متن کاملBridge Technology with TSH Receptor Chimera for Sensitive Direct Detection of TSH Receptor Antibodies Causing Graves' Disease: Analytical and Clinical Evaluation.
Graves' disease is caused by stimulating autoantibodies against the thyrotropin receptor inducing uncontrolled overproduction of thyroid hormones. A Bridge Assay is presented for direct detection of these thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins using thyrotropin receptor chimeras. A capture receptor, formed by replacing aa residues 261-370 of the human thyrotropin receptor with residues 261-329 fro...
