TL;DR: In this article, a target analyte is defined as the presence or absence of specific phagocytosis and/or binding of particles coated with a particular antigen or antigens by white blood cells present in the anticoagulated blood sample.

TL;DR: A brief report on findings from a long-term study of the Gusii of western Kenya and a preliminary exploration of the developmental formulations of Heinz Kohut in the context of Gusii culture is given in this paper.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional echocardiographic studies demonstrating the saddle shape of the mitral valve have increased the specificity of diagnosis and provided a strong phenotypic basis for genetic studies.

TL;DR: This study does not support a physiologic role for PGE1 on hepatic glycogenolysis or lipolysis, but if PGE 1 subsequently is found to influence other metabolic parameters such as lipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, ureogenesis or amino acid transport in isolated perfused liver, such alterations would probably occur independent of changes in cyclic nucleotide activity.

TL;DR: In this article , a review summarizes the current epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and classification of mitral annular calcification-related mitral valve dysfunction and proposes both an integrative definition and an overarching approach to this important and increasingly recognized clinical condition.
