5 ng/mL and that new generation assays were not affected up to the announced tolerance threshold of 1200 ng/mL. After the streptavidin beads treatment, we observed a higher imprecision for both parameters and a constant 10% negative bias for TSH compared to new generation assays. Conclusions New generation of electrochemiluminescent immunoassays…[Read more]

Purpose Although many assays have been developed to detect anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibodies, most of these assays require sophisticated techniques and are thus only available at specialized laboratories. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analytical and clinical performance of a new commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA RSR,…[Read more]

Screening for palliative care has to consider patients and their relatives alike, and should be part of a comprehensive care concept jointly integrated into clinical routine by primary and specialised palliative care teams.AIMS Polymyxin B (PMB) is known to require reactive oxygen species (ROS) for its bactericidal activity, but the mechanism of…[Read more]

Interviewees were all currently working in RRR areas of Queensland, Australia. The analysis involved a three-phase coding process, progressing from specific, inductive coding to abstract, abductive coding. The analysis revealed that the IMG decision-making process involves a complex, dynamic, and iterative process of balancing life goals based on…[Read more]
