Amy Nett: Adam quoted basically the North American Journal of Gastroenterology’s hydrogen- and methane-based breath testing in gastrointestinal disorders, and this is the North American Consensus statement that came out of February or March—I don’t remember when that came out, actually, but yes, there are updated Consensus Standards. BioHealth updated their guidelines, Genova updated their guidelines, and we’re actually starting to use Genova for breath testing right now even more than NUNM, partly because Genova has updated their breath testing with the North American Consensus Guidelines and they sometimes have a faster turnaround time. Yes, we are aware of those changes. We are looking at those when we interpret test results.
