Summary Two different medical measurement methods, which usually do not produce exactly the same results, are used to analyse the serum levels of folic acid in a blood sample. We assess the (dis)agreement of the available data in order to replace the old method (the reference method, which involves a lot of human intervention) with the new one (which ...

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Isgur--Wise function in a relativistic model of constituent quarks

, 2000
The integral representation for Isgur -- Wise function (IWF) is obtained in the framework of instant--form relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics for mesons with one heavy quark. The upper and lower limits are calculated for the slope parameter of IWF $\rho^2$
