We evaluated the performance of Emit(®) II Plus 6-Acetylmorphine Assay for human urine screening on the Viva-E(®) analyzer. Precision was evaluated using the cutoff and ±25% controls. Recovery and linearity were studied by spiking 6-acetylmorphine (6-AM) into human urine pools. Accuracy was evaluated using urine specimens and the results were compared to those from GC/MS. Cross-reactivity with structurally related drugs was assessed at different cross-reactant concentrations. Interferences were assessed in the presence of 7.5 and 12.5 ng/mL of 6-AM. The qualitative repeatability coefficients of variation (CV's) ranged from 0.3% to 0.4% and the within-lab CV's ranged from 2.0% to 2.2%. In analyte units (ng/mL), the repeatability CV's ranged from 1.3% to 2.2% and the within-lab CV's ranged from 2.6% to 4.3%. The limit of detection of the assay was found to be 2.1 ng/mL. Recovery was within 15% of expected value. Linearity was 2.1-20 ng/mL. Method comparison showed 99% agreement with GC/MS. The assay had minimal cross-reactivity with morphine, morphine-3-glucuronide, morphine-6-glucuronide and other opioids. No interference was observed with endogenous interferences and structurally unrelated drugs. The assay correctly classified CAP survey samples. The Emit(®) II Plus 6-Acetylmorphine Assay will be a suitable screening method for urine specimens in both qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses.

Introduction: With recent increases in the popularity of studying the physical construct of horizontal deceleration performance in team-sport athletes, the aim of the present study was to assess the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of processing and quantifying horizontal deceleration ability using radar technology.
Methods: Data from 92 NCAA Division 1 athletes from two different athletic teams (American football and Lacrosse) were used for the present investigation. All athletes performed two trials of the modified acceleration to deceleration assessment (ADA), which consisted of a maximal 10 m sprint acceleration, followed by a rapid deceleration.

The determination the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) during spirometry studies, is at the core of the evaluation of the pulmonary function of patients with respiratory diseases. The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) offers the most extensive data set of normal lung functions available, which is currently used to determine the average expected/predicted FEV1 and FVC (V), and their lower limit of normal (LLN, 5th percentile) at any given height and age for women and men. These prediction equations are currently expressed in a rather complex form: V = exp [p+ (a x Ln (height) + (n x Ln (age)) + spline] and LLN = exp(Ln (V) + Ln (1 - 1.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated a new chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for measuring Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and healthy volunteers in Japan.
- The new quantitative measurement system demonstrated strong reproducibility and correlation with traditional semi-quantitative methods, showing reliable results across a range of M2BPGi levels.
- The conclusion indicates that the quantitative method reduces interpretation bias and provides more precise measurements, especially at higher M2BPGi levels compared to qualitative methods.

Vitamin B12 is essential for cell function and only accessible in food for mammals. To monitor vitamin B12 deficiency, methylmalonic acid (MMA) is used. Since MMA in serum/plasma is a frequently requested analyte at clinical laboratories the analytical method was improved and validated on a 96 well plate.
