| 설명 | 포도당견딤 검사란 당뇨병의 진단에 사용되는 검사로 당을 체내에 투여하고 시간 별로 혈액을 채취하여 혈당의 농도를 재어서 고혈당 여부를 조사하는 검사이다. 주로 경구포도당견딤검사(oral glucose tolerance test)를 많이 하는데 이것은 10~16시간의 금식 후에 채혈을 한번 한뒤에 도당 75g을 250~300mL의 물에 녹여 5분에 걸쳐서 마시게 하고 매시간 별로 채혈을 하여 혈당의 농도를 첵크한다. 공복시에 정맥에서 채혈하여 측정한 혈당이 140mg/dL이상이거나 포도당견딤 검사 2시간후의 혈당이 200mg/dL이상일 경우에는 당뇨병으로 진단을 한다. 그러나 이 검사를 실시할 경우에 주의해야 할 점은 검사전 3일간 하루에 150g이상의 탄수화물을 섭취해야 한다는 것과 검사도중에 운동, 흡연 등을 하지 않아야 한다는 것이다. |

| 설명 | 혈액형이나 질병 유무 따위를 알기 위하여 피를 뽑아 행하는 검사. 몸 전체의 장기나 조직에 병터가 있으면 이들 성분에 변화가 있게 되어 진단에 큰 도움을 준다. |

| sequential analysis | A statistical method that allows an experiment to be ended as soon as a result of desired precision is obtained. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sex determination (analysis) | Validation of the sex of an individual by inspection of the gonads and/or by genetic tests. (12 Dec 1998) |
| small-area analysis | A method of analyzing the variation in utilization of health care in small geographic or demographic areas. It often studies, for example, the usage rates for a given service or procedure in several small areas, documenting the variation among the areas. By comparing high- and low-use areas, the analysis attempts to determine whether there is a pattern to such use and to identify variables that are associated with and contribute to the variation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Southern blot analysis | A procedure to separate and identify DNA sequences; DNA fragments are separated by electrophoresis on an agarose gel, transferred (blotted) onto a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane, and hybridised with complementary (labelled) nucleic acid probes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spectrum analysis | The measurement of the amplitude of the components of a complex waveform throughout the frequency range of the waveform. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, mass | Analysis of the mass of an object through means of determining the wave length(s) at which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by that object. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, raman | Analysis of the intensity of raman scattering of monochromatic light as a function of frequency of the scattered light. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sputum analysis | A method of detecting certain infections (especially tuberculosis) by culturing of sputum, the mucus matter that collects in the respiratory and upper digestive passages and is expelled by coughing. (09 Oct 1997) |
| stratographic analysis | A former term for chromatography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutron activation analysis | Activation analysis in which the specimen is bombarded with neutrons. Identification is made by measuring the resulting radioisotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| structure activity analysis | Study in which systematic variation in the structure of a compound is correlated with its activity, in an attempt to determine the characteristics of the (receptor) site at which it acts. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Northern blot analysis | A procedure similar to the Southern blot analysis, used mostly to separate and identify RNA fragments; typically via transferring RNA fragments from an agarose gel to a nitrocellulose filter followed by detection with a suitable probe. Origin: coined to distinguish it from eponymic Southern blot a. (05 Mar 2000) |
| numerical analysis, computer-assisted | Computer-assisted study of methods for obtaining useful quantitative solutions to problems that have been expressed mathematically. (12 Dec 1998) |
| decision analysis | A derivative of operations research and game theory that involves identifying all available choices and the potential outcomes of each, in a series of decisions that have to be made about patient care-diagnostic procedures, therapeutic regimens, prognostic expectations; the range of choices can be plotted on a decision tree. (05 Mar 2000) |
| survival analysis | A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function. (12 Dec 1998) |
