B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations are useful tools to guide the therapy of patients with heart failure.
A calculation with the I1 indicator variable returned five concentrations as useful variables for classification, those are: iron, silver, bismuth, lead and tin.
Simulations also indicate that only compounds which are effective against biofouling at very low seawater concentrations are useful as active antifouling paint ingredients.
Leafy greens have high concentrations of useful vitamins and minerals and little sugar.
These results suggest that P-MK and S-MK concentrations are useful for early diagnosis of oral cancer.
These results suggest that seasonal variation of serum KL-6 concentrations is useful for the differential diagnosis of Bird-HP.
It is reported that measurement of presepsin concentrations is useful for diagnosis of sepsis and also for monitoring clinical responses to therapeutic interventions [ 16, 17].
Serum concentrations are useful parameters to assess trace elements, but they are not sufficiently specific and sensitive to detect mild deficiency [ 25, 26].
Although monitoring of therapeutic drug concentrations is useful for antibiotics, anticonvulsants and antiarrythmics, there is no correlation between plasma concentration and the effect of a drug at its site of action.
Monitoring plasma drug concentrations is useful for an NTID when much of the interindividual variability in response is accounted for variability in drug PK, but it has little value when most of the variability is PD.
Our results indicate that among women with RA that are at low estimated CVD risk according to the SCORE, consideration of age and total cholesterol concentrations is useful in determining which of these patients experience high-risk subclinical atherosclerosis.
