A Multicenter Non‐Inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Early Breast Cancer: Conventional Dual Tracer Versus Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide [PDF]
The gold standard for detecting sentinel lymph node (SLN) in early breast cancer is combined use of radioisotope and blue dye. A newer agent, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), was developed to address the challenges faced with the traditional method.

CO‐Rebreathing in Essential Thrombocythemia and Polycythemia Vera. A Revival of an Old Methodology to Improve Diagnosis and Phlebotomy Decisions [PDF]
ABSTRACT The diagnostic landscape for the Philadelphia‐negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), particularly in distinguishing Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) from Polycythemia Vera (PV), is compromised. The gold standard for diagnosing PV—measurement of red cell mass (RCM) by radioisotope dilution—has been largely abandoned, leading to widespread ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A prospective study to evaluate the accuracy of pulse power analysis to monitor cardiac output in critically ill patients [PDF]
Background Intermittent measurement of cardiac output may be performed using a lithium dilution technique (LiDCO). This can then be used to calibrate a pulse power algorithm of the arterial waveform which provides a continuous estimate of this variable ...

Vitamin A equivalency of ß-carotene in healthy adults: limitation of the extrinsic dual-isotope dilution technique to measure matrix effect [PDF]
Data on the vitamin A equivalency of ß-carotene in food are inconsistent. We quantified the vitamin A equivalency (¿g) of ß-carotene in two diets using the dual-isotope dilution technique and the oral¿faecal balance technique.
