Differences among sites in
sedimentation rates and algal biomass were analyzed using a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test (P < 0.05).
Diagnosis of focal myositis in our patient was based upon the clinical manifestation of focal inflammation of a muscle group (3), elevated erythrocyte
sedimentation rate, and exclusion of an alternative process.
As shown in Table 4, the factors associated with a risk of hospitalization in the univariate regression analysis were age, total symptom duration in years, MMRC dyspnea score, BMI, FVC, predicted percentage of FVC, [FEV.sub.1] predicted percentage of [FEV.sub.1] [FEV.sub.1]/FVC, inspiratory capacity, Pa[O.sub.2], PaC[O.sub.2], arterial oxygen saturation, C-reactive protein level, and erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (P < 0.05).
Hence it is concluded that during 24 hours operation 125.93 Tons of suspended sediment load was entered in the chamber and the accumulative sedimentation amount of 114.59 Tons was deposited in the single chamber contributing to an accumulative
sedimentation rate of 91.00 % and it would take one and half day for inlet thickness in order to attain the threshold value (when half the chamber is filled up with sediment) when the sediment concentration at inlet is 0.1 kg/m3.
The mean erythrocyte
sedimentation rate was found to be 15[+ or -]9 in the group with normal physical examination and 29[+ or -]28 in the group with enlarged lymph nodes.
Estuaries are characterized by numerous ecological stresses on potential trace-making organisms, including fluctuating salinity levels, high water turbidity, rapid
sedimentation rates, and low oxygen levels in bottom and interstitial waters.
DISCUSSION: Erythrocyte
sedimentation rate continues to be used as an indicator of inflammation and infection in all levels of laboratory services; despite being a non-specific test.
According to 2002 estimates, per head expenditure in developing countries is about 2-3% of the amount spent on health care in the developed countries.3 Erythrocyte
Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is an inexpensive, easily available investigation paticulary in resource poor countries, where TB is common.
Results on
sedimentation rate and mercury concentrations and fluxes were subsequently published (Lockhart et al., 1998).

CBC, chemistry, thyroid function test, stool exam, ultrasonography, hydrogen breath test, erythrocyte
sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein have all very limited accuracy in discriminating IBS from organic diseases.
