Evaluation of transcutaneous CO2 responses following acute changes in PaCO2 in healthy subjects.

14 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Transcutaneous blood gas-monitoring systems with miniaturized SpO(2) (peripheral blood oxygen saturation)/PCO(2) combined sensors (TOSCATM) have been widely used. There are no reports of the inter- and intra-individual ... Read more...

Biopsy site for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer.

30 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori eradication is recommended in post-gastric cancer resection, but premalignant changes may prevent the detection of H. pylori. The aim of this study was to determine appropriate biopsy site for detecting H. pylori in ... Read more...

Evaluation of breath biomarkers and serum haptoglobin concentration for diagnosis of bovine respiratory disease in heifers newly arrived at a feedlot.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate exhaled N(2)O (eN(2)O), exhaled CO (eCO), and serum haptoglobin concentrations as diagnostic criteria for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and determine whether a combination of biomarkers would be useful for predicting health ... Read more...
