Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) calculators to estimate kidney function for adults (MDRD GFR Calculator) and children (Schwartz GFR Calculator). In adults, the recommended equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine is the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation. The IDMS-traceable version of the MDRD Study equation is used. Currently the best equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine in children is the Bedside Schwartz equation for use with creatinine methods with calibration traceable to IDMS. Using the original Schwartz equation with a creatinine value from a method with calibration traceable to IDMS will overestimate GFR.

http://www.nkdep.nih.gov/lab-evaluation/gfr/creatinine-standardization.shtml

Standard specification to reduce inter-laboratory variation in creatinine assay calibration and therefore enable more accurate estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Created by NKDEP''''s Laboratory Working Group in collaboration with the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the European Communities Confederation of Clinical Chemistry (now called the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine), the effort is part of a larger NKDEP initiative to help health care providers better identify and treat chronic kidney disease in order to prevent or delay kidney failure and improve patient outcomes. Recommendations are intended for the USA and other countries or regions that have largely completed standardization of creatinine calibration to be traceable to an isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) reference measurement procedure. The program''''s focus is to facilitate the sharing of information to assist in vitro diagnostic manufacturers, clinical laboratories, and others in the laboratory community with calibrating their serum creatinine measurement procedures to be traceable to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). The program also supports manufacturers'''' efforts to encourage their customers in the laboratory to coordinate use of standardized creatinine methods with implementation of a revised GFR estimating equation appropriate for use with standardized creatinine methods. Communication resources and other information for various segments of the laboratory community are available in the Creatinine Standardization Recommendations section of the website. Also available is a protocol for calibrating creatinine measurements using whole blood devices. The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) released a standard reference material (SRM 967 Creatinine in Frozen Human Serum) for use in establishing calibrations for routine creatinine measurement procedures. SRM 967 was validated to be commutable with native serum samples for many routine creatinine procedures and is useful to establish or verify traceability to an IDMS reference measurement procedure. Establishing calibrations for serum creatinine methods using SRM 967 not only provides a mechanism for ensuring more accurate measurement of serum creatinine, but also enables more accurate estimates of GFR. For clinical laboratories interested in independently checking the calibration supplied by their creatinine reagent suppliers/manufacturers, periodic measurement of NIST SRM 967 should be considered for inclusion in the lab''''s internal quality assurance program. To learn more about SRM 967, including how to purchase it, visit the NIST website, https://www-s.nist.gov/srmors/quickSearch.cfm

http://www.genepaint.org/R0_1.htm

A digital atlas of gene expression patterns in the mouse. Expression patterns are determined by non-radioactive in situ hybridization on serial tissue sections. An accompanying atlas based on maps of sagittal sections at embryonic day 14.5. E14.5 NMRI embryo was prepared, sectioned and imaged identically to the embryos used for in situ hybridization. Maps are accessed from the set viewer page using the appropriate button above the image directory. Both, the in situ hybridization section and the appropriate atlas section can be viewed side-by-side. Section thickness is 20 m and inter-section distance is 100 m. Tissue was stained with cresyl violet (Nissl-method). All sections were digitally scanned using a 5x objective. Structures annotated for gene expression are indicated in the maps with red pointers. Boundaries between brain regions are indicated with dashed yellow lines.

https://grade.bsc.gwu.edu/web/grade/home

A comparative study that aims to determine which combination of two medications is best for glycemic control in Type 2 Diabetes, has the fewest side effects, and is the most beneficial for overall health. GRADE is a randomized clinical trial of participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the past 10 years who are already on metformin. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 commonly-used glucose-lowering drugs (glimepiride, sitagliptin, liraglutide, and basal insulin glargine), plus metformin, and will be followed for up to 7 years.
