HbA 1 c : will the HbA 1 c auto - analyzer HA - 8160 ( Menarini Diagnostics ) imply a substantial improvement compared to the HA - 8140 ?

چکیده
The Menarini HA-8160 HbA1c auto-analyzer has proven to be highly reliable, highly reproducible, technically simple to use, and appears a substantial improvement compared to the HA-8140. Physician-endocrinologists were informed about the new HbA1c analyzer HA-8160 and its analytical performance characteristics. In addition, issues that had to be considered in the clinical decision making process were discussed, emphasizing the impact of assay imprecision and intra-individual biological variability on successive HbA1c results of the same patient. To ensure proper interpretation, we sought to report 95% confidence intervals along with the HbA1c result. To provide simultaneous HbA1c availability with the patient visits, we agreed with the physician-endocrinologists on elaborating a fixed HbA1c daily assay schedule.

Evaluation the Efficacy of HBA Sperm- Hyaluronan Binding Assay Method in Infertility Centers
Introduction: The novel development of the (HBA) sperm- hyaluronan binding assay has now been routinely used in some laboratories worldwide to predict sperm maturity and functionality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between HBA score and histone deficiency, protamine content and DNA fragmentation. Methods: During April- March 2012 patients who were enrolled at ...
متن کاملCorrection: evaluation of the Menarini-Arkray HA 8140 hemoglobin A1c analyzer.
To the Editor: John et al. (1) have evaluated the performance of the Menarini-Arkray HbA1c analyzer and have shown correlations of results on patient samples with the Bio-Rad Variant analyzer, an in-house HPLC method, a latex particle immunoassay, and an affinity chromatography method. The y 5 x lines in Fig. 2, b and d, do not appear to be in the correct position, probably because the x and y ...

OBJECTIVE WHO, IDF and ADA recommend HbA(1c) ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) for diagnosis of diabetes with pre-diabetes 6.0% (42 mmol/mol) [WHO] or 5.7% (39 mmol/mol) [ADA] to 6.4% (47 mmol/mol). We have compared HbA(1c) from several methods for research relating glycaemic markers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS HbA1c was measured in EDTA blood from 128 patients with diabetes on IE HPLC analysers (Bio-Rad ...
متن کاملEffect of the chalcone analog E,E-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetone on the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced Ha-ras gene activity in vivo.
The chalcone analog E,E-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)acetone (HBA) was found to display strong NAD(P)H:quinone reductase (NQO1) inducer potency in Hepa 1c1c7 cells. In order to determine whether this promising chemopreventive activity would extend to anticarcinogenic properties, the effect of HBA on the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced expression of the Ha-ras gene in isolated RNA from...
متن کاملSpectroscopic and functional characterization of T state hemoglobin conformations encapsulated in silica gels.
Oxygen binding curves of sol-gel-encapsulated deoxy human adult hemoglobin (HbA) have previously revealed two distinct noncooperative populations with oxygen binding affinities approximately 1000 and 100 times lower than that of the high-affinity R state. The two populations which have been termed the low-affinity (LA) and high-affinity (HA) T states can be selectively stabilized using two diff...
