متن کاملVisual inspection versus spectrophotometry in detecting bilirubin in cerebrospinal fluid.
OBJECTIVES To compare the diagnostic accuracy of visual inspection and spectrophotometry for identifying the presence of bilirubin in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). METHODS Clinicians and students assessed CSF specimens with seven degrees of extinction between 0.00 and 0.09 at 450-460 nm as "yellow," "doubtful," or "colourless" after random presentation under standard conditions. The assessme...
متن کاملDetermination of amniotic fluid bilirubin absorbance in specimens contaminated by blood.
To the Editor: The careful study of Foster et al. (1 ) reminds us of the difficulty of assessing amniotic fluid bilirubin absorbance in specimens contaminated by blood. However, it is not correct, as Foster et al. conclude, that bilirubin absorbance cannot be appropriately assessed in specimens contaminated in this manner. To eliminate interference from nonbilirubin pigments, my colleagues and ...
متن کاملEnterobius vermicularis in Cerebrospinal Fluid
Enterobius vermicularis is a nematod of large intestine in man. Extra intestinal localization of this parasite is rare. A 60 year old man was admitted to the hospital with the clinical manifestation of meningitis. In laboratory examination of cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F), the appearance was red, Albu-min level was high and the glucose showed normal value. Haematoxylin and Eosin stained slides pr...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid physiology and cerebrospinal fluid drainage.
To the Editor:—We read with interest the article of Conzen et al. demonstrating a reduction of cardiac troponin I release after coronary artery bypass grafting on the beating heart when sevoflurane was compared to propofol. Most previous studies identified peak postoperative troponin I as the major endpoint. It is not clear from the article of Conzen et al. which was the peak postoperative trop...
