Comprehensive lipidome analysis of the human tear fluid identified 17 major lipid classes with more than 600 lipid species.
Figure 4 shows the plot of apparent viscosity vs. shear rate for a shear thinning Carreau fluid identifying three separate regions.
Our indications for arthroscopic hip surgery were labral tears and/or increased synovial fluid identified with pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and pain relief with 10 mL injection of 0.5% procaine hydrochloride into the hip joint at the initial visit.
Direct microscopic examination of the fluid identified gram-positive cocci in grape-like clusters.
Voxels containing primarily gray matter or cerebral spinal fluid, identified using FreeSurfer's automated brain segmentation, were excluded from analysis (Fischl et al. 2002).
A cutoff level of PTX3 ≥ 1 ng/ml in BAL fluid (identified by Youden index [ 32]) was associated with 92% sensitivity, 60% specificity, 49% PPV and 95% NPV for culture-positive pneumonia.
A new cutoff level of PTX3 levels ≥7 ng/ml in BAL fluid (identified by Youden index [ 32]) was associated with 75% sensitivity, 88% specificity, 56% PPV and 94% NPV for confirmed bacterial pneumonia.
Of the 26 cycles evaluated with blinded hormonal monitoring, the Peak Day "best quality" algorithm, based upon cervical fluid, identified ovulation ± 3 days of the urine monitor in 24 cycles (92%).
In addition, chiral analysis of the lipid extract obtained from the cutaneous blister fluid identified 12(S -HETE aS -HETEominasthenantiomer, suggesting that this was not a prodominantoxidation but enantiomeroxygenation of AA through 12-LOX.
