Diagnostic interval

There is a long-time unmet need for a means to detect breast cancer (BC) using blood. Although mammography is accepted as the gold standard for screening, a blood-based diagnostic can complement mammography and assist in the accurate detection of BC in the diagnostic process period of early diagnosis. We have previously reported the possible use of thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) in serum as a novel means to detect BC.

Cardiac hypertrophy (CH), leading to cardiac failure is due to chronic metabolic alterations occurring during cellular stress. Besides the already known relationship between oxidative stress and CH, there are implications of reductive stress leading to CH. This study attempted to develop reductive stress-based CH rat model using n-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a glutathione agonist that was compared with typical isoproterenol (ISO) induced CH model.

External quality assessment schemes are evaluated by method-dependent consensus values or by method independent target values, determined with reference measurement procedures. The reference measurement procedures yield values having a high trueness and precision with a defined uncertainty of measure-ment. The great advantage of the reference measurement proce-dure is that the comparability of results in the different medical laboratories is promoted and improved intending in the same ref-erence interval for an analyte in all laboratories. ...
