Because of the high variability in the phagocytic indexes observed among cells from different individuals, the data of the phagocytosis of zymosan by each individual's cells were normalized, considering the value obtained in the absence of CD13 cross-linking as 100%.
Considering both the values obtained before and after volume expansion (n = 76 pairs of measurements), the bias (lower and upper limits of agreement) between CIinv and CInoninv was 0.2 (-1.8 to 2.2) L/min/m.
Considering both the values obtained before and after volume expansion in all patients (n = 76 pairs of measurements), the bias (lower and upper limits of agreement) between the invasive and non-invasive measurements of mean arterial pressure was 2 (-18 to 23) mmHg.
However, results improve when radiation influence is considered, and the values obtained in both devices are more close.
In this case, the fits of the R 2-based models fall around 0.5, which is notably lower than the values obtained by considering GDP.Unit.
When paired BM and PB samples taken at the same time were available (6 patients, Supplementary Table SI), we considered only the value obtained from BM for the analysis.
The values obtained were then considered together with maps of the distribution of all known rabbit populations throughout the study region to ask whether or not RHDV could readily move from one rabbit subpopulation to another.
Therefore, theoretically, by considering the mean values obtained, each CF patient may potentially transfer 4.77 billion [4.77 × 10; log10 9.68 colony forming units [cfu]] organisms per day to the environment, particularly at the onset of an infective pulmonary exacerbation.
The values obtained with NRS were considered non-specific and were subtracted from values obtained with anti-SM1(1–26).
Absorbance at 405 nm was determined with a Labsystems Multiskan RC. Results were expressed in optical density units after subtraction of the values obtained with PBS and considered as positive above 0.1 OD.
