The amount of MSCs available from iliac-crest aspirates is too small to be clinically useful, and either concentration or culture must therefore be used to expand the MSC population.
Because direct measurement of FT by equilibrium dialyses is impractical in routine practice, several methods such as Vermeulen, Sodergard, Nanjee-Wheeler, and Ly-Handelsman equations are used to provide clinically useful estimates of FT concentration.
We were unable to construct a single, clinically useful nomogram to predict aminoglycoside concentrations for infants of varying gestations, given once daily gentamicin.
In patients with severe systemic inflammation, severe sepsis, and organ dysfunction, PCT has demonstrated itself to be a parameter with a wide range of concentrations and clinically useful kinetics, thus being the better parameter of the two to estimate the severity, prognosis, and time course of disease.
Future studies to determine a reference range for serum Hp-MMP 9 concentration and to develop a rapid, inexpensive test would help to make serum Hp-MMP 9 concentration a clinically useful diagnostic tool.
We were unable to make a similar, clinically useful nomogram to predict trough aminoglycoside concentrations for infants receiving once-daily gentamicin.
Identifying cirrhotic patients with high blood ammonia concentrations could be clinically useful, as high levels would lead to suspicion of being in presence of collaterals, in clinical practice of esophageal varices, and pinpoint those patients requiring closer follow-up and endoscopic screening.
In this regard, our findings significantly expand previous work which suggested that dynamic changes in lactate concentration could be clinically useful markers of patients at high risk of death [ 1, 2, 5, 6, 24].
We conclude that plasma concentration of proHNPs is a clinically useful marker of normal myelopoiesis.
These findings indicate that the KL-6 concentration of pancreatic juice is clinically useful when PJC specimens are inadequate, making differentiation between malignant and benign conditions difficult.
