Haemoglobin level, total leukocyte count (TLC), packed cell volume (PCV), platelet count, estimation of levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin were carried out at KEMH and DMH for 95 patients.
The concentration of the bacterial suspension used in the assay was confirmed by viable count estimation on blood agar plates.
The details of the cell counts estimation procedure are reported in Material and Methods section.
LGPS is a cohort-based method, adapted from a Bayesian method (DuMouchel's Gamma Poisson Shrinker, designed for use in an SRS [see the Electronic Supplementary Material]), which uses person-time rather than case counts for estimation of the expected number of events.
Ten plots measuring 25 m × 25 m area were selected randomly from each of the different aged plantations and all trees were counted for estimation of tree density.
While the accuracy of spectral counting for estimation of relative protein abundance has not been rigorously tested, the technique provides a useful ranking of protein abundance in complex mixtures.
A total of 19,800 flies were counted for estimation of rf in the desiccation-selection experiment.
Cell viability was assessed by examination of EC monolayers using phase-contrast microscopy, cell counting and estimation of trypan blue exclusion.
Combining the data of viable cell count, cytometric estimation of apoptosis, cell cycle and viable cell replication rate, we found that amifostine protects from etoposide and carboplatin toxicity mainly through a mechanism of cell rescue.
RIAS is a tool specifically designed to describe and summarize communication in clinical settings and provides a frequency count and estimation of the prominence of the conversational strategies used throughout a conversation (9).
