When the automated analyzer was first introduced, abnormally high values of urine creatinine and abnormally low values of serum creatinine were seen. It was shown that evaporation of the reducing agent stabilizer(sulfurous acid), which is present in the serum iron measurement kit, was occurring and that the observed low values of serum creatinine were due to consumption of hydrogen peroxide by gasifying sulfurous acid. After the cause was elucidated, the abnormal lowering of creatinine values was prevented. This experience demonstrates that care must be exercised when introducing new analytical method in clinical laboratories because evaporation of reagents can influence in other reagent systems.

Numerous studies have shown that in novel noun generalization tasks, the simultaneous presentation of multiple learning examples increases the percentage of generalizations that are based on less salient properties, compared to the presentation of a single learning example. In this research with preschoolers ( = 300) we demonstrate that this effect can be modulated by dimensional distinctiveness, i.e.

Background: Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and its prognostication and treatment remains challenging. The fast growth of various cancer cells requires reprogramming of its energy metabolism using aerobic glycolysis as a major energy source. However, the prognostic and therapeutic value of glycolysis-related genes in BCa remains to be determined.

Unlabelled: The potential of (), an underutilized plant rich in medicinal and nutritional value, for producing ready-to-serve (RTS) beverages was explored. The research investigated commercial processing techniques for extracting fruit juice and the impact of stabilizers such as pectin (low and high), xanthan gum, and sodium alginate on beverage quality. Sodium alginate, chosen for its sedimentation rate and sensory acceptability, was further optimized in RTS formulations.
