Problems with the estimation of urine protein by automated assays.
OBJECTIVES Most clinical laboratories replaced their manual precipitation techniques for the determination of urinary protein with automated dye binding assays or benzethonium chloride-turbidimetric assays. Few studies have validated these assays for the measurement of urinary proteins in the normal range. DESIGN AND METHODS This study compares four automated assays for the measurement of uri...
متن کاملReplacing creatinine measurements with specific gravity values to adjust urine cotinine concentrations.
Creatinine and specific gravity (relative density) measurements both allow differences in urine concentration to be taken into account in determining urine cotinine concentrations. In this study we demonstrate that the variance of urine cotinine measurements is reduced comparably when either creatinine or specific gravity measurements are used for correction. This reduction in variability impro...
متن کاملPredicting results of daily-practice cystoscopies.
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to elaborate a predictive model of bladder cancer, in an unselected clinical population submitted to cystoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited consecutive patients that underwent cystoscopy due to suspicion of bladder cancer or surveillance of a previously diagnosed bladder cancer. Urine cytology and a BTA-stat® (BTA) test were carried out for all patients. To...
متن کاملReplacing Make with Haskell
Most complex software projects are compiled using a build tool (e.g. make), which runs commands in an order satisfying userdefined dependencies. Unfortunately, most build tools require all dependencies to be specified before the build starts. This restriction makes many dependency patterns difficult to express, especially those involving files generated at build time. We show how to eliminate t...
متن کاملDetection of urothelial bladder cancer cells in voided urine can be improved by a combination of cytology and standardized microsatellite analysis.
PURPOSE To evaluate molecular and immunohistochemical markers to develop a molecular grading of urothelial bladder cancer and to test these markers in voided urine samples. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN 255 consecutive biopsies from primary bladder cancer patients were evaluated on a tissue microarray. The clinical parameters gender, age, adjacent carcinoma in situ, and multifocality were collected. Ur...
