  2. Altimeter setting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter_setting

    QNH - is the barometric altimeter setting that causes an altimeter to read aircraft elevation above mean sea level - altitude (AMSL - above mean sea level) in ISA temperature conditions in the vicinity of the airfield that reported the QNH value. QFE - is the barometric altimeter setting that causes an altimeter to read zero when at the ...

  3. Aeronautical Code signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_Code_signals

    The QNE is the reading in feet on an altimeter with the sub-scale set to 1013.2 hPa when the aircraft is at aerodrome or touchdown elevation. [2] QNH: The pressure set on the subscale of the altimeter so that the instrument indicates its height above sea level (the altimeter will read runway elevation when the aircraft is on the runway). [1]

  4. Light chain deposition disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_chain_deposition_disease

    Light chain deposition disease can affect any organ. [3] Renal involvement is always present and can be identified by microscopic hematuria and proteinuria.Due to the gradual buildup of light chains from plasma filtration, renal function rapidly declines in the majority of patients with LCDD as either acute tubulointerstitial nephritis or rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis.

  5. AL amyloidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AL_amyloidosis

    Amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, also known as primary amyloidosis, is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. [1] The disease is caused when a person's antibody -producing cells do not function properly and produce abnormal protein fibers made of components of antibodies called light chains .

  6. Plasma cell dyscrasias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cell_dyscrasias

    Light chain MGUS is defined as a disorder in which a serum κ to λ free light chain ratio falls outside the normal range of 0.26–1.65 (mean =0.9) provided that it is not associated with: a) any of the CRAB criteria, b) a bone marrow plasma cell count of 10 or a higher percentage of nucleated cells, c) evidence of amyloid deposition (see ...

  7. Monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_immunoglobulin...

    Light Chain Deposition Disease (LCDD) features deposition of light chains only. This is most commonly associated with κ free light chains. [1] Serum protein electrophoresis or immunofixation is positive in 25-76% of cases, while urine protein electrophoresis or immunofixation is positive in 42-90% of cases. [2]

  8. QFF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QFF

    QFF is the location value plotted on surface synoptic chart and is closer to reality than QNH, though it is only indirectly used in aviation. [citation needed] Another method [which?]: The derivation assumes that an isothermal layer at the station temperature extends to the sea level.

  9. Monoclonal gammopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_gammopathy

    Light chains only (or Bence Jones protein). This may be associated with multiple myeloma or AL amyloidosis. Heavy chains only (also known as "heavy chain disease"); Whole immunoglobulins. If immunoglobulins tend to precipitate within blood vessels with cold, that phenomenon takes the name of cryoglobulinaemia.
