Cause of the Hum. In the U.S. electrical transformers the hum that occurs happens at a frequency of 120 Hz. When vibrations reach this level of repetition, the metal used to construct the transformer internal core begins to give off a noise. The vibration, or hum, is a reaction by the transformer metal to the presence of a magnetic field created as electricity passes through. This process is called magnetostriction.
A high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) test measures low levels of CRP using laser nephelometry. The test gives results in 25 minutes with a sensitivity down to 0.04 mg/L.RP is synthesized by the liver in response to factors released by macrophages and fat cells (adipocytes). It is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. It is not related to C-peptide (insulin) or protein C (blood coagulation).
There is also a high-sensitivity CRP test (hs-CRP), in addition to the regular CRP test. The hs-CRP measures very low amounts of CRP in the blood and is typically used to assess risk for heart problems. CRP Results. With the regular CRP test, the normal reference range may vary from laboratory to laboratory.
