Epsilon Serializability (ESR) is a generalization of classic serializability (SR). ESR supports more concurrency and autonomy than SR by allowing a bounded amount of inconsistency in transactions that can tolerate it. ESR has three main advantages over previous \weak consistency" models: (1) ESR is a general framework, applicable to a wide range of application semantics; (2) ESR is upward-compa...

UNLABELLED In addition to the examination of clinical signs, several laboratory markers have been measured for diagnostics and monitoring of pediatric septic bone and joint infections. Traditionally erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and leukocyte cell count have been used, whereas C-reactive protein (CRP) has gained in popularity. We monitored 265 children at ages 3 months to 15 years with c...

OBJECTIVES The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a marker for inflammation, and it has been identified as a risk factor for atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the plasma ESR level and nocturnal oxygen desaturation or other polysomnographic variables and to examine the role of obesity in patients with obstructive sleep a...

BACKGROUND The Westergren method is the golden standard for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). All ESR methods should agree with the standardized method of the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH). Citrate samples are commonly used for ESR. This extra sample adds costs and can be inconvenient for the patient. Therefore, some new automated ESR analyzers use...
