Repeated samples of fat obtained with a biopsy needle.
Introduction The established and large-scale use of certain synthetic chemicals, especially pesticides, has led to their absorption and deposition in animals and man. The authors' interest lay in the pharmacodynamics of the synthetic organochlorine insecticide, dieldrin, which is primarily deposited and stored in the body lipid. Its study required repeated measurements of the deposition of this...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of fine needle aspiration biopsy samples
The fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a quick, simple, safe, painless and inexpensive method. It is of the utmost importance in the preoperative diagnostics of tumours.1 The diagnostic reliability of the method is good. It enables us to classify tumours as malignant or benignant in almost 100% cases and to further specify the type of the tumour in 80-98% of cases.2 Serious side effects (p...
متن کاملEvaluation of needle biopsy of synovial membrane.
Although first described in 1951 (Polley and Bickel, 1951), needle biopsy of synovial membrane has not come into such common usage as that of liver, pleura, or even kidney. Judging from the few American reports dealing with its diagnostic value (Mikkelsen, Duff, Castor, Zevely, and French, 1958; Polley, Bickell and Dockerty, 1954; Rodnan, Yunis, and Totten, 1960; Schwartz and Cooper, 1961), the...
متن کاملMultiple regression analysis of twin data obtained from selected samples.
The multiple regression analysis of twin data in which a cotwin's score is predicted from that of a proband (the member of a twin pair selected because of a deviant score) and the coefficient of relationship provides a powerful test of genetic etiology (DeFries and Fulker: Behav Genet 15:467-473, 1985). Moreover, when an augmented model containing an interaction term is fitted to the same data ...
متن کاملHepatic Mitochondrial Function Analysis Using Needle Liver Biopsy Samples
BACKGROUNDS AND AIM Current assessment of pre-operative liver function relies upon biochemical blood tests and histology but these only indirectly measure liver function. Mitochondrial function (MF) analysis allows direct measurement of cellular metabolic function and may provide an additional index of hepatic health. Conventional MF analysis requires substantial tissue samples (>100 mg) obtain...
