sample extraction further improved the accuracy of the 2 second generation assays in the low range (Table 1; also see online Supplemental Data Fig. 1), which indicates that they still suffer from interfering compounds and their specificity can be further improved. For several immunoassays an increased bias was observed (Table 1); this finding could be explained by the design of the assay, which...
متن کاملAccuracy of first and second generation testosterone assays and improvement through sample extraction.
The monitoring of antiandrogen treatment in patients with prostate cancer, investigation of hyperandrogenism in women, and evaluation of infants with ambiguous genitalia require accurate measurement of low testosterone concentrations. However, testosterone immunoassays have been shown to be inaccurate and often to overestimate testosterone concentrations in the low range (1 ). A working group o...

Background: The quality of testosterone assays has been amatter of debate for several years. Known limitations of testosterone immunoassays are the cross-reactivity with other steroids and a high variation in the low concentration range. We hypothesized that one of the additional limitations of testosterone immunoassays is an ineffective displacement of testosterone from its binding protein. Me...

Dimensionality reduction methods transform or select a low dimensional feature space to efficiently represent the original high dimensional feature space of data. Feature reduction techniques are an important step in many pattern recognition problems in different fields especially in analyzing of high dimensional data. Hyperspectral images are acquired by remote sensors and human face images ar...

Introdouction: Impacted mandibular third molar surgery may affect periodontal status of the adjacent second molar. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in periodontal health parameters distal to the adjacent second molar following surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar. Materials and methods: We selected 50 subjects with a mean age of 22.8 (ranging from 18...
