Pitfalls in Interpreting Umbilical Cord Blood Gases and Lactate at Birth
Acid-base status in umbilical cord blood is an objective measure of the fetus’ exposure to and ability to handle hypoxia. The objective of this thesis was to clarify some of the methodological pitfalls in interpreting umbilical cord blood gases and lactate values at birth. Study I pinpoints the …

Statistical modeling strategies for estimation of the arterial input function in dynamic positron emission tomography data analysis
… requires knowledge of tracer concentration in blood plasma, described by the arterial input function (AIF). Arterial blood sampling is the gold standard for AIF measurement, but is invasive and labour intensive. A number of methods have been proposed to accurately estimate the AIF directly from …

ΗΛΙΚΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΗΒΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΧΑΡΑΚΤΗΡΙΣΤΙΚΑ ΤΗΣ ΠΡΩΤΗΣ ΟΙΣΤΡΙΚΗΣ ΠΕΡΙΟΔΟΥ ΑΜΝΑΔΩΝ ΤΩΝ ΦΥΛΩΝ ΧΙΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΚΑΡΑΓΚΟΥΝΙΚΗΣ ΣΕ ΣΧΕΣΗ ΜΕ ΤΟ ΕΠΙΠΕΔΟ ΔΙΑΤΡΟΦΗΣ
… THYROXIN (T4) AND TRIIDOTHYRONIN (T3) IN THEBLOOD SERUM WERE MEASURED. OESTRUS WAS DETECTED DAILY BY TEASER RAMS AND THE OVARIAN ACTIVITY WAS MONITORED BY PROGESTERONE CONCENTRATION IN BLOOD SAMPLES COLLECTED TWICE WEEKLY. PROGESTERONE AND OESTRADIOL PROFILES AROUND SECOND PUBERTAL OVULATION …

Investigating proteomic profiles of skin mucus and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
… changes in protein profiles of skin mucus and blood plasma of rainbow trout using untargeted proteomics. The use of non-lethal blood sampling and non-invasive mucus sampling is becoming increasingly desirable to study toxicological effects. Findings suggest that the proteome of rainbow trout is …

Development of a protocol to examine red blood cell functional adaptations to intermittent hypoxia
… of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on human red blood cell (RBC) physiology. While IH contributes to conditions such as sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease, its direct impact on RBC function remains poorly characterized. The protocol isolates IH exposure as an independent variable and …

Optimisation of analytical methods for monitoring monoclonal antibody therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
… 4 I demonstrate that patient-led capillary blood sampling has potential as a key adjunct to telemedicine for remote patient monitoring, offering a safe, reliable, convenient alternative to conventional venepuncture. I demonstrate equivalence and acceptability of capillary blood sampling …

Applications of a radioimmunoassay technique to the study of luteinizing hormone secretion in the rat
… male rats. Available evidence suggests that the blood sampling method, surgical stress and anaesthesia are each capable of significantly influencing LH secretion, thereby emphasizing the value of studies using conscious, unstressed animals. While a direct effect of urethane on the pituitary gland …

The activity and functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis of the red deer stag (cervus elaphus)
… of stress inherent in standard methods of blood collection, a portable remote blood sampling device (“DracPac”) was developed and tested. Stags were blood sampled remotely during restraint in a mechanical crush and subsequent recovery at pasture. Cortisol, haematocrit, glucose and lactate …

Purpose-orientated stocking of procedure trolleys saves time in busy Emergency Centres
… the required items for IV cannulation and blood sampling from the purpose-orientated trolley was 22.7 seconds(s) (SD = 3.66) compared to 49.2 s (SD = 15.45) using the contemporary trolley. There was a significant difference in mean collection time between the two trolleys (p < 0.0005). …

USING THE PLASMA FREE AMINO ACID DOSE RESPONSE METHOD TO DETERMINE METABOLIZABLE PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS OF LYSINE AND METHIONINE IN RUMEN PROTECTED SUPPLEMENTS
… free AA dose-response method has relied on blood sampling 2, 4, 6, and 8 h after the morning feeding the last 3 d of each period in Latin square experiments with cows fed every 8 h. The objective of the third study was to determine if this sampling protocol captured the diurnal variation in …

Inclusion of Olive or Coconut Oil in a High-Fructose High-Fat Diet Increases Liver Injury in a Pig Model of Pediatric NAFLD
… Animals were euthanized at 85 d of age after blood sampling. Liver tissue was collected for histology, metabolomics, and transcriptomics. Compared with BSL, OLI decreased high-density lipoproteins, phosphatidylcholines (PC), and total cholesterol in blood, and increased acylcarnitines in …

Acid-base regulation during sprint exercise in horses fed lecithin
… oil diet on acid-base homeostasis and blood gases in arterial and central venous blood were examined during repeated sprint exercise in horses. Differences between temperature measurement sites for the adjustment of pH and blood gases during exercise was also investigated. The …

The impact of a protein-rich breakfast on food cravings and reward in overweight/obese 'breakfast skipping' adolescent girls
… satiety, and food craving questionnaires and blood sampling for HVA concentration assessment throughout the morning. Breakfast, regardless of protein content, reduced perceived hunger and cravings for sweet and savory foods vs. BS (all, p<0.05). Breakfast also increased perceived fullness and …

The development of a blood-based test of DNA methylation for the earlier detection of high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer
… in carcinogenesis. The use of minimally invasive blood sampling, or ‘liquid biopsies’ is a fast-emerging area of cancer diagnostics. Identifying and developing novel DNAme markers for the detection of HGSC in blood samples will fulfil an unmet clinical need in a poor outcome cancer. Methodology A …

Biophysical Techniques of Transcutaneous Drug Sampling and Drug Delivery
… safety and efficacy perspectives. Intermittent blood sampling is used as a surrogate for approximating concentration of drugs in the tissues, which leads to blood loss and discomfort to patients. A novel noninvasive technique called “Electroporation and transcutaneous sampling” (ETS) was …

Optimizing pharmacokinetic studies utilizing microsampling
… in some form of bodily tissue (such as whole blood or plasma) at a number of time points after administration. There are two approaches to PK analysis, modelling and non-compartmental (NCA). The modelling approach uses assumptions of the behaviour of the compound in the body to fit models to …

Effects of ruminal nutrient degradability on volatile fatty acid dynamics, ruminal epithelial gene expression, and post-absorptive system
… absorptive genes, and post-absorptive muscle and blood responses. Six ruminally cannulated Holstein heifers (BW=330 ± 11.3 kg) were used in a partially replicated Latin Square experiment with four treatments consisting of beet pulp or timothy hay and barley or corn grain. Periods were18 d with 3 d …
