(7) Postoperative calcium levels ranged between 6.5 and 9.5 milligrams per deciliter on the first postoperative day and normalized by the sixth day.
(8) Survival was associated significantly with a younger age, a serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level of less than 50 milligrams per deciliter at presentation, the absence of a constellation of abnormalities at presentation consistent with sepsis and a decreased incidence of major complications after initial débridement (p less than 0.05 to 0.01).
(9) Furthermore, the proteins obtained from 22 of the 27 patients whose serum creatinine concentrations equaled or exceeded 168 mumol per liter (1.9 mg per deciliter) were deposited in the mouse kidneys, whereas protein deposition occurred after the injection of proteins from only 4 of the 13 patients with serum creatinine concentrations below 168 mumol per liter.
(10) In the subgroup of patients with elevated serum creatinine levels (greater than 2 mg per deciliter) at enrollment, mortality at 14 days was significantly increased among those receiving methylprednisolone (46 of 78 [59 percent] vs. 17 of 58 [29 percent] among those receiving placebo; P less than 0.01).
(11) Only patients who had an ankle-arm index (the ratio of blood pressure at the ankle to the brachial blood pressure) of more than 0.45, a transcutaneous PO2 of more than twenty-eight millimeters of mercury (3.7 kilopascals), a level of albumin of more than 3.0 grams per deciliter (thirty grams per liter), and a total lymphocyte count of more than 1500 were managed with a partial calcanectomy.
(12) Whole blood samples from six male Sprague-Dawley rats were diluted in vitro 3:1, 1:1 and 1:3 with normal saline solution, stroma-free hemoglobin (SFH) (7 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter), PHS (14 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter) or 5 percent bovine albumin (ALB) and tested with a thrombelastograph (TEG) for effects of hemodilution on coagulation.
(13) A survey of 28,000 pregnant women revealed an incidence of IgA deficiency (serum IgA less than 1 mg per deciliter) of 1 in 450, which is identical to that in a normal blood-donor population of both sexes.
(14) Thirty-nine percent of these mechanics had levels higher than 40 micrograms per deciliter; hematologic, neurologic, and renal effects are known to develop at or above this blood lead level.
(15) Results are best expressed in terms of mg of DNA bound per deciliter of test serum.
(16) With bed rest, the plasma hypoxanthine level returned to normal within a few hours, and the plasma urate concentration decreased from 18.6 to 10.6 mg per deciliter (1106 to 630 mumol per liter) within 48 hours.
(17) We assessed community trends in the awareness, treatment, and control of hypercholesterolemia (defined as a serum cholesterol level greater than 6.21 mmol per liter [240 mg per deciliter]) during the 1980s in the Minneapolis-St. Paul (Twin Cities) metropolitan area.
(18) Urinary D was undetectable (less than 0.2 micrograms per deciliter) in 17 normal adults and either undetectable or below the concentration expected from the degree of proteinuria in 10 patients with nephrotic syndrome.
(19) Abnormalities on neurologic examination included elevated creatine phosphokinase and aldolase, slowed distal sensory latencies, type II muscle fiber atrophy, and a plasma vitamin E level of 8 microgram per deciliter (normal, 550-1500 microgram per deciliter).
(20) Rumen fluid acetate:propionate ratio, dilution rate (percentage per hour), and ammonia N concentration (milligrams per deciliter) were 2.28, .12, and 10.7 and 2.04, .13, and 9.6 for control cows and for cows supplemented with yeast culture, respectively.

Example Sentences:
(1) The new inquest repeated the findings that Winehouse had 416mg of alcohol per decilitre in her blood, enough to make her comatose and depress her respiratory system.
