Evaluation of different formulas for LDL-C calculation

Clinical Validation of Eleven Formulas for Calculating LDL-C in Iran

Background & Objective: Concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease which is r...

Evaluation of alternative calculation methods for determining LDL cholesterol.

BACKGROUND Due to limitations of the Friedewald formula, alternative methods for calculating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were suggested. We evaluated utility of these methods. METHODS Ninety three subjects free of coronary heart disease were considered. LDL-C was measured by the homogeneous method, and calculated by the Friedewald formula LDL-C = TC-HDL-(TG/2.2) (LDL1) and alt...

comparison of refractive outcomes of different intraocular lens power calculation formulas in keratoconic patients undergoing phacoemulsification

purpose: in the present study we have tried to find the most reliable intraocular lens (iol) power calculation formula in patients with keratoconus (kcn) and cataract. methods: in a prospective case series between october 2010 and march 2012, eligible patients with cataract and kcn underwent phacoemulsification with iol implantation. preoperatively, based on iol master keratometric data iol pow...

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
