Disproportional exaggerated aspartate transaminase is a useful prognostic parameter in late leptospirosis

Urinary aspartate transaminase in childhood.

Indirect markers of fibrosis in chronic liver diseases: Is aspartate transaminase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) a useful test?

Indirect markers of fibrosis in chronic liver diseases: Is aspar-tate transaminase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) a useful test? Indirect markers of fibrosis in chronic liver diseases: Is aspartate transaminase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) a useful test? We read with great interest the article entitled " Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis with the aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio (APRI): Us...

Dffluoro-oxaloacetate with Aspartate Transaminase

Difluoro-oxaloacetate interacts with the aldimine form of aspartate transaminase to give a complex, the dissociation constant ofwhich has been determined spectrophotometrically and by 19F n.m.r. (nuclear magnetic resonance). The 19F n.m.r. line-width-pH and chemical-shift-pH profiles of difluoro-oxaloacetate in the presence of the aldimine form of the enzyme both show inflexion points in the pH...

Differential scanning calorimetry of cytoplasmic aspartate transaminase.

Differential scanning calorimetry has been applied to study factors affecting the thermally induced denaturation of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase, a dimeric pyridoxal enzyme. The consequences of binding of coenzyme and substrate derivatives to both the apo and holo forms of the enzyme were investigated and are interpreted in terms of the stabilization of the native form of the enzyme. ...

Vertebral Heart Score: A Useful Parameter in Determination of Resuscitation Endpoint in Dogs with Hemorrhagic Shock

BACKGROUND: GReliable prediction of patient response to fluid resuscitation is a crucial issue in the management of hemorrhagic shock. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to investigate vertebral heart score (VHS) variation in fluid resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock patients and the feasibility of this method in determining resuscitation endpoint.  METHODS: VHS values were assessed using previ...
