Correlation versus agreement; protein/creatinine ratio in spot urine and 24-hour urine protein.
Montero et al. do report the 95% limits on the Bland-Altman plot, perhaps the authors could have reported the 95% limits of agreement for a specific number of thresholds of proteinuria for example <300mg, <3.5 grams or >3.5 grams individually which would be useful for clini-cians trying to interpret spot urine pro-tein/creatinine ratio. I worry that readers of this excellent study may be left f...
متن کاملReply to Hong et al.
TO THE EDITOR—We thank Hong and colleagues [1] for their interest in our work [2]. We agree that the T-SPOT.TB test is likely to be less affected by lymphocytopenia or immunosuppression than the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFTGIT) test. It is possible that the extremely low number (n = 3) of negative results contributed to their finding that lymphocytopenia or ground glass opacity (GGO) on com...
متن کاملHong Et Al. Reply to Canul-chay Et Al
Canul-Chay et al. [1] have conducted the segregation experiment of binary granular mixtures in a bed and subjected the bed to vibration. They report that the reverse Brazil-Nut phenomenon (RBNP) was never observed in their experiments and thus conclude that such does not exist. However, we have clearly demonstrated in [2] by Molecular Dynamics simulations that the reverse Brazil-Nut problem not...
متن کاملTwenty-four hour human urine and serum profiles of bisphenol a during high-dietary exposure.
By virtue of its binding to steroid hormone receptors, bisphenol A (BPA, the unconjugated bioactive monomer) is hypothesized to be estrogenic when present in sufficient quantities in the body, raising concerns that widespread exposure to BPA may impact human health. To better understand the internal exposure of adult humans to BPA and the relationship between the serum and urinary pharmacokinet...
متن کاملTwenty-four hour gastric acidity after vagotomy.
Twenty-four hour intragastric pH during normal daily activity has been studied by nasogastric intubation and aspiration of gastric samples in seven patients four years after vagotomy (four truncal, three selective). Two of these patients also had pre- and early postoperative studies. Mean pH was inversely correlated with basal, insulin- and pentagastrin-stimulated acid outputs. However, one of ...
