Variationin UrinaryCreatinineExcretionand

چکیده
Urinary creatinine excretion, measured in 96 24-h urine specimens collected from a single subject, was less variable (CV, 9.3%) than daily urine volume (CV, 20.7%). However, a small variation in measured creatinine excretion did exist, since the observed CV of 9.3% was not explicable either on the basis of analytical error (CV for replicate determinations, 1.1%) or of collection error. Thus, 24.h urinary creatinine excretion is not constant. On the other hand, demonstrated variation in creatinine excretion was small, and urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids could be validly expressed in mg/g of creatinine. In a given individual, biologic variation in 24-h creatinine excretion is negligible as compared with variation in 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion.

متن کاملThe Analysis of Mobility Processes by the Introduction of Independent Variables into a Markov Chain
A major drawback with the traditional Markov formulation of social mobility is .that it 'assumes homogeneity among persons in an origin state with regard to their transition behavior. This requirement has led to a deemphasis in consideration of the ways in which the transition probabilities vary among individuals. In this paper a regression procedure is introduced which allows a ,heterogeneous ...

Cross-cultural studies have revealed broad quantitative associations between subsistence practice and demographic parameters for preindustrial populations.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess differences in fracture morphology and displacement betweenisolated greater tuberosity (GT) fractures (i.e. fractures of the greater tuberosity without other fractures of the proximalhumerus) with and without shoulder dislocation utilizing quantitative 3-dimensional CT imaging.Methods: Thirty-four CT-scans of isolated greater tuberosity fractures ...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
