The laboratory parameters-derived CoLab score as an indicator of the host response in ICU COVID-19 patients decreases over time: a prospective cohort study.

The CoLab score was developed and externally validated to rule out COVID-19 among suspected patients presenting at the emergency department. We hypothesized a within-patient decrease in the CoLab score over time in an intensive care unit (ICU) cohort. Such a decrease would create the opportunity to potentially rule out the need for isolation when the infection is overcome.

Reflective testing - A randomized controlled trial in primary care patients.

Background: Reflective testing, i.e. interpreting, commenting on and, if necessary, adding tests in order to aid the diagnostic process in a meaningful and efficient manner, is an extra service provided by laboratory medicine.

FSH bioactivity is strongly enhanced by kinetic incubation of pre-antral hamster follicles.

Unlabelled: Isolation of meiotic arrested oocytes from mammalian ovaries involves a resumption of the meiosis. Studying the effect of FSH on this process it was found that doses up to of 0.1 IU/ml did not maintain the meiotic arrest in hamster oocytes in pre-antral follicles during static incubation conditions.

Regulation of secretion of the teleost fish hormone stanniocalcin: effects of extracellular calcium.

The release in vivo and in vitro of stanniocalcin (STC) from the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) of the rainbow trout and the European eel was studied. Intraperitoneal injection of CaCl2 (2.45 mmol.
