Evaluating Iron Overload Using SF and MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Iron overload was evaluated by direct and indirect methods namely by SF and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) T2* of liver and heart.
SF was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassays (Beckman Access Dxl). The normal reference range values are 30–350 ng/mL in males and 15–150 ng/mL in females. Generally, a cut-off value of SF concentration higher than 800 ng/mL indicates significant IOL.20 (link)
Reported global myocardial and liver IOL data, assessed by MRI and registered not more than 8 months before OGTT, were collected. The values were expressed in mg/g dry weight (d.w.) for LIC, classified into normal (LIC < 3), mild (LIC > 3 and < 7), moderate (LIC > 7 and < 14) and severe overload (LIC > 14).21 (link) A global heart T2* value < 20 ms was considered as a conservative cut-off for significant myocardial iron overload.22 (link)

Comparative Analysis of Folate Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We included in this study four MSs: Access Dxl (Beckman Coulter), Advia Centaur (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics), Alinity i (Abbott Diagnostics) and Cobas e801 (Roche Diagnostics), all 'Conformité Européenne'/CE marked. According to the data from EQA schemes, these manufacturers cover ~85% of folate measurements [8] . The main MS characteristics are summarized in

Comparative Evaluation of PSA Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples' preparation and measurements on the four analytical platforms Access Dxl (Beckman Coulter), Atellica IM (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics), Alinity i (Abbott Diagnostics) and Cobas e801 (Roche Diagnostics) have been described elsewhere [4] . Also, the assay design and the characterization of the antibodies used were reported in the same paper [4] .
Briefly, we selected 135 and 137 leftover serum samples, from different patients, as a representative clinical sampling for the measurement of tPSA and fPSA, respectively of the daily clinical routine, excluding from the collection haemolyzed, lipemic or icteric samples, according to the interference thresholds reported by PSA assays. The leftover serum specimens were immediately separated into a total of four 400 µL aliquots (one for each of the analytical platforms evaluated in the study) and stored at -80 °C until analysis. The study design followed the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute EP-09 protocol concerning the procedure of sample collection and measurements [17] .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
