Pitfalls in the interpretation of thyroid function tests in old age and non-thyroidal illness. In hyperthyroidism, measurement of the serum thyroxine (T4) index or free concentration often suffices to establish the diagnosis. In hyperthyroidism, incl... G Hennemann,EP Krenning - 《Hormone Researc...
This is a brief summary of lab value interpretation and is not intended in any way to be comprehensive or replace any conversation of your results with your doctor. THYROID LAB VALUESA TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormoone) Test is performed to assess the activity of the thyroid gland. It involve...
All statistical analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS version 20.0 (IBM Inc., Armonk, NY). p < 0.05 was considered as statistical significance. The primary outcomes were 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 3-year overall survival (OS). The DFS was defined as the duration from...
Disease-free survival (DFS, defined as the time from surgery to disease recurrence or death from any cause) was analyzed post hoc. Efficacy was assessed on a modified intention-to-treat basis. Results Ninety-four Chinese patients were randomized, and 88 (93.6%; median age, 61 years [IQR, ...
The significance of the difference in nude mouse xenograft tumor incidence rate was tested using Fisher’s exact test. A p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 3. Results 3.1. ABHD11-AS1 levels are up-regulated in different stages of lung carcinogenesis playing an important ...

This interpretation is based on the band theory where electrons are assumed not to interact or if only weakly between each other so that the movement of one electron hardly affects other electrons (5). Such behavior is called band insulating. A band insulator is not the only possible ...
Results are expressed as n [% DMI and imaging technique] unless otherwise stated. *, mean (95% confidence intervals); **, log rank analysis. OS, overall survival; DMI, depth of mesorectal invasion; DFS, disease-...
2 SUSY scenarios The design of the analysis and the interpretation of results are based on simplified models [32], where the masses of relevant sparticles (in this case the χ˜1±, ˜, ν˜ and χ˜10) are the only free parameters. The χ˜1± is assumed to be pure wino ...
