Exclusion criteria were: renal failure with GFR < 50 mL/min, anemia with hemoglobin levels < 13 g/dL, platelet counts < 140,000/mL or > 400,000/mL, previously known hemostasis disorders, current use of anticoagulants or any drugs potentially interfering with hemostasis (non...
The majority of existing GWAS are based on single-SNP association tests; however, single-SNP GWAS have some critical limitations. A major concern is that most identified variants are out of the gene boundary and present only modest effect individually [2]. A large number of SNP tests require ...
Using appropriate statistical tests and taking into account the analytical performance of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurements, is it useful to establish HbA1c age-related values in non-diabetic subjects? Non-diabetic subjects (n=135, 72 women and 63 men) from the neuromuscular department of the ...
1b revealed a concentration of hemoglobin and heme metabolites at the positive end of PC1. Furthermore, a t test comparing the hemolysis measurement, between the two clusters of samples revealed by PC1, was significant at the 0.01 significance level. These results led to the conclusion that ...

Blood was taken from obese patients in order to assess blood albumin, uric acid (UA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), aspartate transaminase (AST), cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), folic acid (FA), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipo protein (LDL...
Blood tests:Prolactin level and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) tests are common.15 Brain MRI or CT scan:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) orcomputed tomography (CT)scans may be done to check for pituitary microadenoma. Cytology:A sample of discharge is collected and examined for cancer cells....
In all examined analytes, except hemoglobin A1c, calculated inaccuracies were within the acceptable ranges of the national directives for quality assurance (RiliBÄK, directives issued by the German Medical Association). Method comparison demonstrated good agreement between MicroSlide assays and wet ...
