The glucose tolerance test (GTT, not to be confused with GGT test) is a medical test in which glucose is given and blood samples taken afterward to determine how quickly it is cleared from the blood. [ 1] The test is usually used to test for diabetes, insulin resistance, impaired beta cell function, [ 2] and sometimes reactive hypoglycemia and ...
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing ( GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect ...
Homeostatic model assessment. The homeostatic model assessment ( HOMA) is a method used to quantify insulin resistance and beta-cell function. It was first described under the name HOMA by Matthews et al. in 1985.
ANOVA gauge R&R. ANOVA gage repeatability and reproducibility is a measurement systems analysis technique that uses an analysis of variance (ANOVA) random effects model to assess a measurement system. The evaluation of a measurement system is not limited to gage but to all types of measuring instruments, test methods, and other measurement systems.
Ambiguity tolerance–intolerance is a construct that was first introduced in 1949 through the work of Else Frenkel-Brunswik while researching ethnocentrism in children [ 2] and was perpetuated by her research of ambiguity intolerance in connection to authoritarian personality. [ 3] It serves to define and measure how well an individual ...
Accuracy measures how close a given set of observations are to their true value. Precision measures how close the observations are to each other. Accuracy and precision of observations lying on a bell curve. In the language of statistics: Accuracy is a description of systematic errors, a measure of bias. Precision is a description of random ...
The glucose clamp technique was developed by University of Texas (UT) School of Medicine Professors DeFronzo, Andres and Tobin in 1979. [ 2] It has since been the gold standard for pharmacodynamic studies in diabetes drug development and diagnostics evaluation. [ 3] In human clinical trials, manual glucose clamps as well as the more modern ...
Engineering tolerance is the permissible limit or limits of variation in: a physical dimension; a measured value or physical property of a material, manufactured object, system, or service; other measured values (such as temperature, humidity, etc.); in engineering and safety, a physical distance or space (tolerance), as in a truck (lorry ...
