متن کاملReproducibility and reliability of volumetric measurements of olfactory eloquent structures.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The authors assessed the reliability and reproducibility of volumetric measurements of olfactory bulbs and tracts (OBTs) and temporal lobes (TLs) with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. METHODS Repetitive MR imaging of two phantoms and OBTs and TLs of patients was performed. Regions of interest were manually drawn around the relevant structures, and their volumes were m...
متن کاملReliability and reproducibility issues in DNA microarray measurements.
DNA microarrays enable researchers to monitor the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. However, the current technology has several limitations. Here we discuss problems related to the sensitivity, accuracy, specificity and reproducibility of microarray results. The existing data suggest that for relatively abundant transcripts the existence and direction (but not the magnitude) of e...
متن کاملTh1 and Th2 Cytokine Profiles in Malignant Pleural Effusion
Background: The alteration of Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels is the subject of controversy in pleural effusions caused by malignancy, a situation that favors a Th2 immune response. Objective: To examine the different levels of IL-4 and IL-10 (Th2 cytokines), and IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (Th1 cytokines) in malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions. Method: The cytokine levels in pleural fl...
متن کاملreliability and reproducibility of linear measurements of alveolar ridges using cone beam ct performed by radiologists and periodontists
purposes: the aim of this study was to evaluate the intra and inter-examiner reliability and reproducibility of linear measurements in cone-beam tomography (cbct) images taken by calibrated radiologists and periodontists. materials and methods: the alveolar ridge dimensions in selected cbct images were measured by two calibrated radiologists and two periodontists. intra and inter-examiner relia...
