Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid

De novo synthesis in the central nervous system of IgG antibodies to human T cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLVHI) (lymphadenopathy associated virus) was shown in seven of 10 seropositive men who had syphilis but not the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS related complex. None of these men showed neurological symptoms when the serum and cerebrospinal fluid were collected. Pl...

Reducing Inter-Laboratory Differences between Semen Analyses Using Z Score and Regression Transformations

Background Standardization of the semen analysis may improve reproducibility. We assessed variability between laboratories in semen analyses and evaluated whether a transformation using Z scores and regression statistics was able to reduce this variability. MaterialsAndMethods We performed a retrospective cohort study. We calculated between-laboratory coefficients of variation (CVB) for sperm c...

Wheelchair-specific fitness of inactive people with long-term spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVES To describe wheelchair-specific anaerobic work capacity, isometric strength and peak aerobic work capacity of physically inactive people with long-term spinal cord injury using outcomes of tests that are feasible for use in rehabilitation centres, and to determine associations among these fitness components. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Manual wheelchair users with ...
