2. Interpretation of DQASS reports
This document discusses key concepts for interpreting DQASS reports, including confidence intervals, sample size, and CUSUM charts. It explains that confidence intervals indicate the level of uncertainty around estimates like median MoM values, and larger sample sizes yield more precise estimates and shorter intervals. CUSUM charts are important to examine for changes in median MoM values over time that could indicate biases. The document also covers crude and standardized screen positive rates, noting standardized rates allow for comparison between populations by controlling for differences in maternal age distributions.
1. QA of screening for downs
This document discusses standardizing marker values in first trimester screening to account for factors like gestational age, weight, and ethnicity. It explains that marker levels depend on various characteristics, so converting to multiples of the median (MoM) removes these effects. Any biases or errors in determining gestational age from crown-rump length can significantly impact the standardized MoM values and affect screening accuracy, leading to changes in detection and false positive rates. Precise measurement of crown-rump length is important for obtaining accurate gestational dating and standardizing marker levels.
3. Monitoring and updating multiple of medians (MoM) values within the labora...
The document discusses monitoring MoM values over time using CUSUM charts and confidence intervals. It provides guidance on constructing CUSUM charts and confidence intervals through practical sessions using example data. The document also discusses factors to consider when deciding to update MoM values, including how and when to apply factor updates in different software programs.

Pneumothorax and role of Physiotherapy in it.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

一比一原版(EUR毕业证)鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学毕业证如何办理
EUR毕业证offer【微信95270640】《鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学毕业证书原版制作EUR成绩单》【Q微信95270640】《仿制EUR毕业证成绩单鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学学位证书pdf电子图》，A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。
