"Mic checks" became the consensus method of circulating announcements, spread through the crowd by people repeating, phrase by phrase, what a speaker had said to others around them, compelling everyone, as it were, to speak in one voice.
The wait and weight method is a constant bottom hole pressure (BHP) method of circulating the kick out while pumping a heavier kill mud into the well to replace the original mud which was in the well when the kick occurred.
This article reviews some of the most important advances in this field in the past few years, including the emergence of several multigene and prognostic predictors, as well as methods allowing enumeration of circulating tumor cells that are currently offered as commercially available diagnostic assays.
Compared to the ELISA-based detection of cTn, the gold standard for diagnosis of ACS, the PCR-based methods for detection of circulating miRNAs are highly time consuming.
No information is given in the product sheet from Santa Cruz Biotechnology so we have replaced "synthetic JHIII" with "a JHIII standard", and provide details of product number as well as source in the revised Materials and methods under "Detection of circulating JH hormone by DART-MS".
We optimized a ddPCR method for measurement of circulating DNA that employs a universal touchdown PCR thermocycling protocol for increased specificity.
Analysis of DNA from plasma represents a non-invasive method for detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or their DNA released from the primary tumor into the plasma/serum [ 21- 26].
1 Efforts to replace the Kato-Katz method by determination of circulating antigens go back half a century, 2 but success has been elusive despite Gold and others 3 showing (in experimental animals) that antigen concentrations and worm burdens are indeed correlated.
Improvement in sensitivity and specificity of the available methods of detection, standardization of these methods and functional characterization of circulating tumor cells in well designed and statistically well powered studies are the key steps to reach these ambitious objectives in colorectal cancer patients as well.
Various methods for the detection of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood have been described.
