The groups were compared by the following parameters: demographics, cardiac catheterization and ultrasound data, and use of aspirin or warfarin preoperatively and intraoperatively by assessing the composition of the cardiopulmonary bypass solution, use of ultrafiltration and antifibrinolytics, protamine dose, last hematocrit on cardiopulmonary bypass, and requirement of blood products.
Bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) is known to accurately measure the nutritional status as well as water distribution in the individual by assessing body composition.
To our knowledge, it is the first automated method that predicts intra-tumoral genetic heterogeneity from sequencing data of moderate coverage by assessing clonal composition of tumors using allele fractions of single nucleotide variants and copy number changes.
The chemical and molecular structure analysis were carried out by assessing the sugar composition, moisture, ash, lipid content, fatty acid composition, molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn), and polydispersity index (Mw/Mn ratio).
The nutritional status of the patients was determined by measuring their body mass index (BMI), by assessing their body composition, and by evaluating specific biochemical nutritional markers in their plasma.
We studied the impact of human forest use on the diversity of epiphytic and epixylic lichens in late-successional Pinus sylvestris-dominated forests by assessing species richness and composition along both local and regional gradients in forest utilization.
49 We defined rather large ethnic categories by assessing each countries ethnic composition, economic development, history and religion.
The plaque burden was semiquantitatively determined by assessing the maximal dimensions and composition of plaque using a scoring system from 0 to 4, as previously described by Rominger et al. [16] (Table 1).
The accuracy of AAA for less than 100 ng of proteins was evaluated by the accuracy of amino acid composition and by assessing whether analyzed proteins were correctly identified from the obtained composition using the Swiss-Prot database.
BIA can assess body composition parameters by assessing the difference of impedance of each component of the body, including muscle and lean tissue.
