چکیده

The random urine sample shown in Fig. 1 was collected from a 43-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus. A routine urinalysis (Aution Max AX-4280; Iris Diagnostics) revealed no remarkable findings and, specifically, was negative for protein. The corresponding urine protein concentration, however, was 448 mg/dL (reference interval, 12 mg/dL) as measured with a turbidimetric assay (Cobas c701; Roche Diagnostics). Protein concentrations in urine samples previously collected from this patient were undetectable.

Silicate minerals are therefore isolated from the foodstuffs, mostly by a density separation step. In order not to obscure the TL, the isolated silicate minerals should be as free of organic constituents as possible. A first glow of the separated mineral extracts is recorded (Glow 1). Since various amounts and/or types of minerals (quartz, feldspar etc.) exhibit very variable integrated TL inte...

ported elsewhere. Burkhardt et al. (4) collected 791 urine specimens and compared the results obtained by refractometer, urinometer, and reagent stick. They reported that 90% of the stick measurements were within 0.005 units of the corresponding urinometer results; correction for pH modestly improved the results. Zack (5) reported a similar degree of correlation. In both of these studies the au...

Irradiation of silver and agar/silver nanoparticles with argon, oxygen glow discharge plasma, and mercury lamp

The irradiation effect of argon, oxygen glow discharge plasma, and mercury lamp on silver and agar/silver nanoparticle samples is studied. The irradiation time dependence of the synthesized silver and agar/silver nanoparticle absorption spectra and their antibacterial effect are studied and compared. In the agar/silver nanoparticle sample, as the irradiation time of argon glow discharge plasma ...

Glucosuria: accuracy and precision of laboratory diagnosis by dip stick analysis.

Two urine dip-stick assays for glucose were studied and compared to a quantitative hexokinase procedure. We determined sensitivity, specificity, predictive value of "normal" and "abnormal" dip stick results, assay efficiency, technologist precision, and method association. Precision was poor. Attempts to estimate urine glucose concentration with the dip sticks frequently produced gross inaccura...
