Comparison of Data from a Single-Analyte and a Multianalyte Method for Determination of Urinary Total Deoxynivalenol in Human Samples.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry
Deoxynivalenol (DON) exposure is estimated by the combined measures of urinary DON and DON-glucuronides. In this study, data from single-mycotoxin (SM) and a multimycotoxin (MM) methods were compared for 256 Swedish adult urine samples. Both methods ...

A sensitive and rapid UFLC-APCI-MS/MS bioanalytical method for quantification of endogenous and exogenous Vitamin K1 isomers in human plasma: Development, validation and first application to a pharmacokinetic study.

Talanta
Due to lack of suitable bioanalytical methods in previous literature, for simultaneous estimation of Vitamin K1 isomers, in compliance with the current regulatory expectation, we aimed to develop a sensitive and rapid method with UFLC-APCI-MS/MS (ult...

Exploring Value From the Patient's Perspective Between Modern Radiation Therapy Modalities for Localized Prostate Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Patients' perspectives on their treatment experiences have not been compared between modern radiation modalities for localized prostate cancer. We evaluated treatment regret and patients' perceptions of their treatment experiences to better ...

Detection of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury by Machine Learning Classification Using Resting State Functional Network Connectivity and Fractional Anisotropy.

Journal of neurotrauma
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may adversely affect a person's thinking, memory, personality, and behavior. While mild TBI (mTBI) diagnosis is challenging, there is a risk for long-term psychiatric, neurologic, and psychosocial problems in some patient...

An intelligent prognostic system for analyzing patients with paraquat poisoning using arterial blood gas indexes.

Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods
The arterial blood gas (ABG) test is used to assess gas exchange in the lung, and the acid-base level in the blood. However, it is still unclear whether or not ABG test indexes correlate with paraquat (PQ) poisoning. This study investigates the predi...

Biomechanical advantages of robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation in posterior lumbar interbody fusion compared with freehand technique in a prospective randomized controlled trial-perspective for patient-specific finite element analysis.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: There have been conflicting results on the surgical outcome of lumbar fusion surgery using two different techniques: robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation and conventional freehand technique. In addition, there have been no studie...

Enhancing analysis throughput, sensitivity and specificity in LC/ESI-MS/MS assay of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D by derivatization with triplex 4-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (DAPTAD) isotopologues.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis
The plasma/serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is a diagnostic index for vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency, which is associated with a wide range of diseases, such as rickets, cancer and diabetes. We have reported that the derivatiz...

Corneal power evaluation after myopic corneal refractive surgery using artificial neural networks.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Efficacy and high availability of surgery techniques for refractive defect correction increase the number of patients who undergo to this type of surgery. Regardless of that, with increasing age, more and more patients must undergo catara...

EEG and fMRI agree: Mental arithmetic is the easiest form of imagery to detect.

Consciousness and cognition
fMRI and EEG during mental imagery provide alternative methods of detecting awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) without reliance on behaviour. Because using fMRI in patients with DOC is difficult, studies increasingly employ E...

Emergent laparotomy and temporary abdominal closure for the cirrhotic patient.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Temporary abdominal closure (TAC) may be performed for cirrhotic patients undergoing emergent laparotomy. The effects of cirrhosis on physiologic parameters, resuscitation requirements, and outcomes following TAC are unknown. We hypothesi...
