Genetic variants in pre-eclampsia should be interpreted with caution.
Genetic variants in pre-eclampsia should be interpreted with caution Sir, We read the article entitled 'Genetic variants in pre-eclampsia: a meta-analysis' by Buurma et al. (2013) with great interest. It is an important step forward in the identification of genetic variants associated with pre-eclampsia. However, there are several important issues that require clarification or further research....
متن کاملIschemia-modified albumin concentrations should be interpreted with caution in patients with low serum albumin concentrations.
OBJECTIVE Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA((R))) is a novel marker for assessing cardiac ischaemia. We assessed the relationship between total albumin concentrations and IMA in serum to investigate whether interpretation of IMA was albumin-dependent. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 298 serum samples were assayed for total albumin (albumin), using bromcresol purple, and IMA, using an indirect colorimetric ...
متن کاملDetection of Pulmonary Embolism During Cardiac Arrest-Ultrasonographic Findings Should Be Interpreted With Caution.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the right ventricle is more dilated during resuscitation from cardiac arrest caused by pulmonary embolism, compared with hypoxia and primary arrhythmia. DESIGN Twenty-four pigs were anesthetized and cardiac arrest was induced using three different methods. Pigs were resuscitated after 7 minutes of untreated cardiac arrest. Ultra...
متن کاملHow should prostate specific antigen be interpreted?
Since from its clinical introduction to the present time, measurement of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level is one of the most widely used tests in urology practice. Initially, the upper limit for PSA was 4 ng/mL, but today, a reduction for the upper limit is recommended to 2.5-3 ng/mL for patients between 60 and 65 years of age and younger. On the use of PSA as a screening test for pr...
متن کاملLiposome-mediated RNA transfection should be used with caution.
Liposome-mediated RNA transfection appears to present a number of advantages for studying the metabolism of reporter mRNAs in mammalian cells. This method is also widely used to transfect siRNAs. Here we describe results indicating that reporter mRNAs introduced into HeLa cells by liposomes do not present the expected behaviors. Namely, the stability of reporter mRNAs was independent of the pre...
