A patient’s glucose result is “flagged” with the comment “ results exceed the upper limit of linearity.” The method’s upper limit of linearity is 700 mg/dL. The technologist prepares a 1 to 5 dilution of the serum specimen with saline and reanalyzes the diluted sample. A result, 152 mg/dL, is displayed. What is the concentration of glucose in this patent’s serum sample?

Which of the following statements correctly compares and contrasts a-priori and a-posteriori methods of reference individual selection? 1. In both methods, exclusion and partitioning take place after sampling and analyte testing. 2. A-priori methods require fewer reference individuals to be studied than a-posteriori methods. 3. Questionnaires for potential reference individuals must be more detailed for a-posteriori methods than for a-priori methods.

Following breast cancer treatment 24 patients were monitored for plasma levels of the MUC-1 gene product antigen CA-27.29 to determine if high levels of antigen are associated with cancer reoccurence. Anything over 100 U/ml is considered a high level. Calculate the prevalence of reoccurence in our sample. Also calculate the sensitivity, specificity and the positive predictive value using 100U/mL as a cutoff. Cancer returned Cancer Free 110 84 102 98 95 52 112 104 89 94 115 91 103 66 94 85 101 90 109 92 84 105 111 75
