ProstateVolumePeripheral zoneMeasurementMethodsPurposeTo report the precision of a technique of measuring the PZ thickness on T2-weighted MRI and report normal parameters in patients with normal-sized prostates. We also wanted to establish the mean and second standard deviations (2SD) above and below...
The body can store extra energy as fat in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is a loose connective tissue that is mainly composed of cells called adipocytes. It is is mainly located beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat) and around the internal organs (visceral fat). It is possible to assess how ...
The normal level of lab tests for a liver ALT : 0-35 U/L AST: 0-35 U/L ALP: 30-120 U/L Albumin : 3.5g/dL Total protein test: 6-8g/dL Bilirubin : 0.4-0.3mg/dL You can find the following links useful: https://study.com/academy/lesson/important-...
Therefore, estimation of the accumulated internal dose and the exposure from such electrophilic, short-lived compounds and metabolites is easier through measurement of Hb adducts than of DNA adducts. Compared to white blood cells, required to obatin DNA, red blood cells (RBC) may also be easier...
Sperm count is determined by looking at the semen sample under a microscope. It is a measurement of how many million sperm cells there are in each milliliter of semen. In the literature it also called “Sperm concentration”. A normal sperm count is 15 million or more sperm cells per mill...
Post-void residual urine measurement. This test measures how much urine is left in your bladder after you pee. How Do You Treat Bed-Wetting? Your doctor may suggest you start by making a few changes to your daily and nightly routines: ...
What happens when the blood calcium levels increase above normal? Describe a lymph node. How does Tay-Sachs disease lead to the malfunction of neurons? What would happen if the brain / nervous system would not maintain homeostasis? What is the main structural difference between a lymphatic ...
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC):is the average concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of red cells. This is a calculated volume derived from the hemoglobin measurement and the hematocrit. The normal range is 32% to 36%. ...
normal tissue (Warburg effect). The key challenges when diagnosing cancer by means of PET are related to cancer biology and the actual ability to visually circumscribe the cancerous lesion using reconstructed PET images. Cancer biology is addressed by the a priori choice of a suitable tracer ...
The so-called precision is relative to the target it is aimed at. Compared with the “indiscriminate bombing” performed by conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which do not distinguish cancer cells from normal cells, the precision drugs developed for specific targets are indeed more ...
