High-sensitive detection and quantitation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from capillary/fingerstick and venepuncture whole-blood using fluorescence-based rapid lateral flow i... by Samar, Shurbaji

“…Conclusion: In comparison to the reference assay, our study demonstrates that Finecare™ exhibits high sensitivity, specificity, agreement, and a strong correlation. These findings provide evidence that Finecare™ is a reliable, valid, and accurate point-of-care test for TSH screening and quantitative measurement, especially in non- or small laboratory settings.…”

Metabolomics Profiling of Stages of Coronary Artery Disease Progression by Anlar, Gulsen G.

“…Specifically, levels of mannitol/sorbitol, mannose, glucose, and ribitol increased, while pregnenediol sulfate, oleoylcarnitine, and quinolinate decreased with higher CAD risk. These findings suggest a significant role of sugar, steroid, and fatty acid metabolism in CAD progression and point to the need for further research on the correlation between quinolinate levels and CAD risk, potentially guiding targeted treatments for atherosclerosis. …”

The impact of PV generation and load types on the impedance relays during both balanced and unbalanced faults by Kamel, Rashad M.

“…When single line to ground fault occurs at the PV bus (far from relay location), the dynamic loads increase the relay impedance, while the PV plant decreases the relay impedance. When a single phase to ground fault occurs at the relay bus (load bus), the dynamic load decreases the relay impedance, and the PV plant increases it. …”
