tTG antibodies are used in serological testing to diagnose celiac disease. Each test is sensitive and specific for the antibody it measures. The tTG test has a sensitivity of more than 90.
 
  What does this mean? It also has a specificity of more than 95. What does this mean?

Answer to Question 1

 >90 sensitivity means the test yields few false negative results
 > 95 specificity means the tests yields few false positive results

Answer to Question 2

Ireton-Jones: 5W  11A + 244 + 1784
(5 x 55.5)  (11 x 65) + 244 + 1784
277.5  715 + 244 + 1784 = 1590.5 or 1600 kcal
Penn State (2003b) 1189 kcal x 1.2 x 1.3 = 1854 kcal
American Chest Physician's Equation 30-35 kcal/kg/current weight 1663 kcal  1940 kcal
s

 As the clinician, suggest the range of 1600-1700 kcal.
 The preferred method would be to use indirect calorimetry to obtain measured energy requirements rather than calculated or estimated energy requirements.
 The range of 1.2-1.5 g protein/kg is appropriate as an estimation of protein requirements.
 Since Mr. H's albumin and prealbumin are within normal limits, starting with 1.2 g protein/kg is reasonable. 55.5 kg x 1.2-1.5 = 67-83 g protein/day.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
