If calcium levels are found to be elevated, measuring intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels has been recommended as the next step (Livingstone and Rampes 2006).
In conclusion, compared to SGA and AGA, IUGR fetuses had reduced circulating levels of adiponectin and elevated measures of aIMT and several inflammatory markers.
Mann Whitney analysis of traditional markers indicated that high radiographic progressors had significantly elevated measures of ESR, CRP, SHS and clinician's global assessment (CGA) at baseline compared with low progressors (Table 1).
We therefore believe that it is unlikely that our observation of a positive association between tibia lead and BMD arises from lead elevating measured BMD estimates.
Results and Conclusion: The ipsilateral nasal resistance was clearly elevated when measured with a catheter used overnight compared with the control measurement (P < 0.05).
Results: Controlling for baseline RMR, elevated objectively measured EI, but not self-reported habitual caloric intake, predicted increases in BMI over a 2-year follow-up.
IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA expression levels were elevated as measured with real-time PCR.
Studies in Europe and North America have shown significant association between increases in mortality and elevated temperature, measured by maximum or minimum temperature, heat index, and sometimes, other weather indices (10).
Activity of CPK or aldolase was not elevated when measured in 15 of the 29 patients with abnormal liver function tests.
Blood pressure measurement requires greater operator skill, and blood pressure is liable to be falsely elevated unless measured with care and in stress-free situations.
In mice, elevated telemetrically measured HR combined with depressed ACT and flattening of circadian rhythms was reported for 5 7 days following implantation of blood pressure transmitters [ 17].
