Assessment of inflammation in the rheumatoid knee joint: correlation between clinical, radioisotopic, and thermographic methods.
Standard clinical methods of assessing joint inflammation are being supplemented increasingly by radioisotopic and thermographic studies. However, the correlation between these different methods has not been firmly established. In the quantification of synovitis by infrared thermography we have shown that the heat distribution index (HDI) based on thermal pattern is more reliable and is less af...
متن کاملEffect of haemolysate preparation on measurement of red cell folate by a radioisotopic method.
The effects of varying the method of preparation of haemolysates on the measurement of red cell folate concentration were investigated using the Simultrac kit. The concentration of ascorbic acid did not have any significant effect on the assayed concentrations of folate, but lower concentrations were obtained when the incubation time was increased. Folate was stable for 14 days in cells when th...
متن کاملRadioisotopic method for the measurement of lipolysis in small samples of human adipose tissue.
To facilitate the study of adrenoreceptor response in small needle biopsy samples of human subcutaneous adipose tissue, we developed a dual radioisotopic technique for measuring lipolysis rate. Aliquots (20-75 mg) of adipose tissue fragments were incubated in a buffered albumin medium containing [3H]palmitate and [14C]glucose, each of high specific activity. In neutral glycerides synthesized in...
متن کاملThe Measurement of Rigidity in Elbow Joint: An Objective Method for the Evaluation of Parkinson's disease
Introduction: One of the most common syndromes in Parkinson's disease (PD) is rigidity. Currently, an index is used to evaluate the level of PD by the clinical measurement of rigidity in the upper extremity. The index uses a subjective method called Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating System (UPDRS). The subjective nature of this method makes the influence of physician in the measurement of rigi...

A radioisotopic assay is reported that 4 hr and can be run in unlimited quanaccurately measures an almost identical tity. This raclioassay should simplify diserum folate to that measured by Lactoagnosis of folate deficiency and be parbacillus casei and can separate low, ticularly useful in patients receiving borderline, and normal folate levels.
