Statistical analysis was performed using a Student’s t-test or Analysis of Variance for Repeated Measurements as appropriate in Graphpad Prism (v10). All data passed the normality test using the Shapiro–Wilk test and data are shown as mean ± SEM. Results Immediately post renal embolizatio...
They allow simple and sensitive measurements and can be used on multiple samples for quick results, often achieved onsite. The same immunochemical reagents can be formatted for sensitive laboratory assays or formatted as qualitative or semi-quantitative rapid field tests. They are attractive for ...
21 A cross-sectional study, conducted >4 decades ago, showed that diabetic patients with retinopathy had higher fasting serum triglyceride and cholesterol measurements than those without retinopathy.22 In addition, experimental models of DR have suggested that hyperlipidemia plays a role in DR, and ...
we take the average value of the last two measurements of each year in order to account for the important within subject variability of this variable [14]. Legal ethical aspects At the start of the project a proposal was submitted to the Belgian Privacy Commission. No comments were provided ...
In low-risk patients, it appears that a combination of neck ultrasonography with stimulated Tg measurements without diagnostic whole-body scanning can provide excellent sensitivity for detection of recurrent disease. Although most recurrences can be effectively treated with additional surgery, RAI therapy,...
Blood flow velocity measurements are robust against movement artifacts. Overall fTCD is a very sensitive tool but re- quires some knowledge for the interpretation of the results. The changes of blood flow velocity reflect blood flow changes only in stable conditions. The position of the probe has...

In conclusion, in post-menopausal women aged 50–89 years without a diagnosis of osteoporosis, an estimated 21.4% had osteoporosis and 51.2% had osteopenia. More precise BMD measurements are recommended in individuals exhibiting TST ≤ 1.30 and BMI ≤ 23.4, TST ≤ 1.32 and BMI ≤ 22.4, TST ...
Haushofer and Shapiro [51,52,53] used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and cortisol measurements, while Baird et al. [46] used the General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ-12). All these studies observed a reduction in stress with the receiving of unconditional cash transfers. Haushofer and ...
La surrénale produit surtout des stéroïdes de la voie Δ5, la déhydroépiandrostérone (DHA) et son sulfate (DHAS). Leurs taux très élvés à la naissance, décroissent rapidement les premiers mois de vie, et sont très bas de 1 à 6 ans. Ils aug
