Alcohol Consumption and Liver Disease

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Subjects who never drank alcohol were classified as “non-drinkers”; those who reported drinking alcohol often were classified as “habitual drinkers”. Fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, gallstones, and splenomegaly were all diagnosed by abdominal sonography[6 (link)]. Fatty liver disease was diagnosed if the liver had homogenously increased echogenicity and a smooth surface. Cirrhosis was diagnosed if there was increased parenchymal echogenicity, poor tissue penetration, and parenchymal inhomogeneity. Liver cysts and hemangiomas were diagnosed based on their characteristic sonographic signals. Gallstones were diagnosed based on a characteristic increased echogenicity anywhere in the biliary tree, and included patients who had “silent stones”. Splenomegaly was diagnosed if the spleen was greater than 12 cm in length and had a maximal transverse diameter of 5 cm.
All venous blood samples were obtained in the morning after a 12 h overnight fast. Globulin, albumin, and other serum parameters were analyzed by a biochemical autoanalyser (Hitachi 736-15, Tokyo, Japan) at the Department of Clinical Laboratory within 4 h of collection. Hepatitis B surface antigen was detected by an ELISA test from Enzygnost, Dade Behring GmbH (Marburg, Germany) and the antibody to hepatitis C virus was detected by an ELISA test from Abbott (HCV EIA 3.0, Abbott Laboratories. Abbott Park, Illinois).

Multimodal Hemostasis Assessment in Liver Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples for arterial blood gas analysis, whole blood cell count, thromboelastometry and plasma preparation were collected at the following time points: after splenectomy (baseline), at the end of haemodilution, and at 10, 60 and 120 minutes after liver injury. Haemoglobin concentration, pH, partial pressure of oxygen and pCO2 were measured using a blood gas analyser (ABL500, Radiometer, Brønshøj, Denmark). Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and fibrinogen concentration were determined by standard laboratory methods using the appropriate kits from Dade Behring (Marburg, Germany) on an MC 4 plus steel-ball coagulometer (Merlin Medical, Lemgo, Germany); the fibrinogen concentration was measured using the Clauss assay. Thrombin–antithrombin complexes (TAT) were quantified by ELISA (Enzygnost, Dade Behring, Marburg, Germany).

Immunogenicity of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We assessed the antibody GMCs against each virus at D42 as the primary endpoint of the study. The secondary immunogenicity endpoints were: 1) the SRR at D42 (SRR was defined as an IgG antibody concentration ≥200 mIU/mL for anti-measles, ≥10 EU/mL for anti-mumps, and ≥10 IU/mL for anti-rubella irrespective of the baseline antibody concentrations; these thresholds were accepted by the USA Food and Drug Administration as offering clinical benefit); and 2) the percentage of participants with a ≥4-fold increase between D0 and D42 in GMCs for each antigen.
We determined the concentration of IgG antibodies in the blood samples taken at D0 and D42. We used commercial ELISA kits for anti-measles, anti-rubella (Enzygnost, Dade Behring), and anti-mumps antibodies (Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc).

Comprehensive Hemodynamic Monitoring in Emergency Care

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard hemodynamic parameters were measured by both invasive and non-invasive monitoring for 360 minutes. Heart rate, respiratory rate, ETCO2, FiO2, SaO2, arterial blood pressures, pulmonary blood pressures, central venous pressure, cardiac output (CO), and ICP were recorded every 5 minutes until hospital arrival (T60) and every 15 minutes, thereafter. Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and urine output (UO) were measured every 15 minutes. CO was measured continuously and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) calculated by subtracting ICP from mean arterial pressure (MAP). Blood gas content (arterial, mixed venous and sagittal sinus) was analyzed by using an automatic analyzer (ABL 705, Radiometer, Copenhagen, Denmark) every 15 minutes until T60, then every 60 minutes, thereafter. Blood samples were also taken at T0, T15, T60, and T360 for in vitro assessments. Complete CBC (Pentra 60C+ cell counter, HORIBA ABX Diagnostics, Irvine, CA), thromboelastography (TEG) (TEG 5000 Hemostasis Analyzer, Haemoscope Corp., Niles, IL), coagulation parameters (Stat Compact, Diagnostica Stago, Parsippany, NJ), and thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) (Enzygnost, Dade Behring, Stuart, FL) were determined. The level of rFVIIa in blood samples was determined using a factor VIIa kit (Sta-FVIIa, Diagnostica Stago).
