Making sense of nonsense: Using regression analysis to deal with highly variable data collected from a yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) digestibility experiment
2018, AquacultureCitation Excerpt :Therefore, for difficult but highly valued species such as yellowtail kingfish the development of more reliable methods is required. Technologies such as NIR have become part of the nutritional arsenal of most aquafeed manufacturers and use of this technology may prove to be more cost-effective, rapid and reliable than traditional in-vivo studies, if and when suitable raw material data bases can be constructed for specific species (Aufrère et al., 1996; Boval et al., 2004; Cozzolino et al., 2002; Decruyenaere et al., 2009; Picarelli et al., 1995). Alternative in-vitro methods that more accurately simulate the digestive processes of fish also offer some advantages over traditional in-vivo techniques.
Diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in chronic pancreatitis: <sup>13</sup>C-Mixed Triglyceride Breath Test versus Fecal Elastase
2017, PancreatologyCitation Excerpt :To measure steatorrhea, we used NIRA instead of the classical Van de Kamer (titrimetric) method. NIRA has proved to be a reliable method for measuring fecal fat excretion [40,41]. We conclude that the present study shows that FE-1 and the TGBT have similar accuracy in the diagnosis of EPI in patients with CP.

2009, Journal of the American Dietetic AssociationCitation Excerpt :After extraction with hexane, the fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed in a Hewlett-Packard chromatograph (HP4890, Wilmington, DE), equipped with a flame ionization detector and using a BPX75 fused-silica capillary column (SGE, Villebon, France) (21). A 72-hour stool sample was collected (from the fifth day of the questionnaire) for the quantitative measurement of fecal fat and nitrogen by means of a spectrophotometer technique (near infrared reflectance analysis) (32). On the last day of the questionnaire, the patients provided a 24-hour urine sample in 2-L polypropylene bottles that contained 5 g boric acid for conservation (as preservative).
