Choosing the probe radiation wavelengths for noninvasive monitoring of haemoglobin in blood
The goal of our study was to estimate the accuracy of measuring the blood haemoglobin concentration by means of the pulse CO-oximetry, depending on the probe radiation wavelength.Revealing the combinations of wavelengths, optimal for minimising the measurement error, Dining will allow the formulation of requirements to the instruments for noninvasi
Risk factors for oral methotrexate failure in patients with inflammatory polyarthritis: results from a UK prospective cohort study
Abstract Background Oral methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line therapy for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).However, approximately one quarter of patients discontinue MTX within 12 months.MTX failure, defined as MTX cessation or the addition of another anti-rheumatic drug, is usually due adverse event(s) and/or inefficacy.The aims of this stu
