From the study described in part 1 of this series (Passing, H. et al. (1981), this j. 19, 1137-1144) it has been derived in part 3 (Passing, H. (1981), this j. 19, 1153--1166) that 6 reference laboratories are appropriate for the establishment of assigned values and their uncertainty intervals in a control serum. From the same study the two outstanding characteristics of an optimized design are found: It is sufficient that each reference laboratory performs single determinations within independent series. The number of series however has no relevant influence on accuracy and precision of the assigned values. The following design is obtained: Six reference laboratories perform single determinations in five independent series each. Additionally, the complete concept of establishment of assigned values is summarized. Up to now, the model has met the expectations in practice.

This study tested the effects of propylene glycol (PG) on the fatty acid composition of Akkaraman lambs in three different anatomical depot locations (ADLs). Twenty-four lambs were assigned to a randomized complete block design comprising three groups of 8 animals as follows: Con, 1.5%, body weight (BW) (PG1.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of different types of low level laser treatment (LLLT) in reducing pain levels, changing oxygen saturation and bite force in patients with myofacial pain syndrome (MPS). 45 patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 (GRR laser, n = 15) received LLLT with Gallium-Aluminium-Arsenide (GaAlAs) diode laser with a wavelength of 904 nm and red laser with a wavelength of 650 nm over masseter muscle region. Group 2 (Nd: YAG laser, n = 15) were treated with Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and the same protocol with Nd: YAG laser was performed in the Group 3 (placebo, n = 15) using sham device.

This study aimed to estimate a socio-spatial vulnerability index for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at the municipal level in Mexico for 2020. It incorporated factors such as poverty, social backwardness, marginalization index, and human development index. This retrospective ecological study analyzed 317,011 incident cases of T2DM in 2020.

Failure to start treatment on time leads to medical and psychosocial maladjustment of the patient.
Aim: Development of a method for differential diagnosis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and constitutional delay of puberty in boys 13.
