Methods We evaluated all patients admitted to our ED observation unit from Jan 2002 to D ec 2004 using chart and electronic review of demographic, laboratory, and clinical course. BNP levels were defined as low, gray zone, and high for < 100 pg/mL, 100-500 pg/mL, and > 500 pg/mL, ...
Increased Plasma Levels of Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction. Circulation 1993 Jul; 88(1): 82-91. doi: 10.1161/01.cir.88.1.82. 摘要 背景:脑钠尿肽是一种主要由心室分泌的新型钠尿肽, 并且已证明其血浆水平在慢性充血性心力衰竭的患者中 显著增加.这项研究旨在...
Bottom line:In these observational trials, BNP at very low levels has a high sensitivity, but a low specificity. Using higher cut-offs results in higher specificity, but lower sensitivity. It isn’t clear that BNP can actually outperform physician judgement. BNP accuracy gets worse in patients ...

anemia was found to be an independent predictor of plasma BNP levels. 18 The objective of this study is to assess the effect of anemia on NT-proBNP independent of CHF, sepsis, age or renal insufficiency. METHODS Patient population The study population consisted of 746 consecutive patients present...
BACKGROUND: BNP and NT-proBNP are very useful predictor of perioperative cardiac events. The authors therefore performed a retrospective study about the relationship between NT-proBNP and intraoperative hemodynamic stability. METHODS: The authors reviewed the chart of 126 patients which were consulted to...

even glow across the ceiling (indicated by the space between the gray bars indicating linear fixtures). Ceiling washes provide far lower variation in light levels than typical symmetric glow fixtures. For comparison, see the dramatically different Max/Min range at the lower left of each chart. ...
Do not forget manufacturing limitations in the plant. These can include the logistic effects of introducing new mixes with regard to production scheduling, mix storage space, and equipment operation and performance. One must also consider the need to deal with high levels of dry ingredients, such ...
