TL;DR: A novel approach is developed, which leverages electronic health record data, to identify healthy individuals and tests for differences in laboratory test values between populations, and finds that the distributions of >50% of laboratory tests with currently fixed reference intervals differ among self-identified racial and ethnic groups (SIREs) in healthy individuals.

TL;DR: Urinary stone analysis using CA is likely to result in clinically significant errors in its assessment of stone composition and does not provide the level of analytical specificity required for proper management of patients with metabolic stones.
Reference values for γ-glutamyl-transferase in amniotic fluid in normal pregnancies
TL;DR: The aim of the study was to establish reference values for the hepatobiliary enzyme γ‐glutamyl‐transferase (GGT) in amniotic fluid in normal pregnancies, and to determine the maximal week of gestation in which reference values can be determined.

Creating ethnicity-specific reference intervals for lab tests from EHR data
TL;DR: It is shown that for two lab tests, serum creatinine level and hemoglobin A1C, SIRE-specific reference intervals are more predictive for need for dialysis and development type 2 diabetes than existing reference intervals.

Fiber-optic evanescent wave spectroscopy (FEWS) of crystals from a urine sample as a tool for evaluating the chemical composition of kidney stones
Refael Minnes,Tamara Brider,Andrey Goryachev,Anna Grushchenko,Ruth Tor,Amichai Nevo,David A. Lifshitz,Abraham Katzir,Yosef Raichlin +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the option of using FEWS to determine the kidney stone's composition based only on a urine sample, which revealed partial correlation between the composition of the crystals in the urine and the chemical composition of kidney calculi.
