Kappa free light chain index as a diagnostic biomarker in multiple sclerosis: A real‐world investigation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2021
AbstractKappa free light chain (KFLC) index, a measure for intrathecal production of free kappa chains, has been increasingly recognized for its diagnostic potential in multiple sclerosis (MS) as a quantitative alternative to IgG oligoclonal bands (OCBs).

Introducing the vectorial Kappa: An index to quantify congruence between vectorial mosaics [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2015
This paper introduces the vectorial Kappa (κv) that one can utilize to assess congruence between two vectorial mosaics. The vectorial Kappa extends for vectorial mosaics the approach of the so-called Cohen's Kappa index, commonly used to compare raster mosaics.

Cerebrospinal fluid free kappa light chains and kappa index perform equal to oligoclonal bands in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis

open access: yesClinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2018
Abstract Background Detection of intrathecal immunoglobulin G (IgG) synthesis by gold standard oligoclonal bands (OCB) or IgG index remains an integral part of multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnostics, although both methods have weaknesses.

Kappa Free Light Chain Index Predicts Disease Course in Clinically and Radiologically Isolated Syndromes

open access: yesNeurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, 2023
To evaluate whether the kappa free light chain index (K-index) can predict the occurrence of new T2-weighted MRI lesions (T2L) and clinical events in clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS).All consecutive patients presenting for the diagnostic workup, including CSF analysis, of clinical and/or MRI suspicion of ...

Inter-Laboratory Concordance of Cerebrospinal Fluid and Serum Kappa Free Light Chain Measurements

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
The kappa index (K-Index), calculated by dividing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/serum kappa free light chain (KFLC) ratio by the CSF/serum albumin ratio, is gaining increasing interest as a marker of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis. However, data on

Assessment of land cover/land use changes using object-oriented processing of satellite imageries (1985-2015) in the Rozechai Watershed of Urmia [PDF]

open access: yesتحقیقات کاربردی علوم جغرافیایی, 2022
Also, because of human activities and natural phenomena, the face of the earth has always undergone a change. Therefore, for optimal management of natural areas, awareness of the ratio of land cover/land use changes is a necessity.
