Lactoferrin as a Marker of Systemic Inflammatory Response
Materials and methods. 51 patients, who were ill with generalized peritonitis, went through a prospective randomized research. They were randomized on groups depending on the objective score SAPS (1984): 29 survived people (53%) and 22 people with favorable end (47%). Intensive care and surgical tactics standardized patients. Lactoferrin (LF) as modulator of systemic inflammatory response (SIR)...
متن کاملAccuracy of the peak day of cervical mucus as a biological marker of fertility.
The (PD) peak day of cervical mucus is an important biologic marker for the self-determination of the optimal time of fertility in a woman's menstrual cycle. The purpose of this article is to provide evidence (literature and empiric) for the accuracy of the PD of cervical mucus as a biologic marker of peak fertility and the estimated day of ovulation. An analysis of data from four published stu...
متن کاملCervical mucus: from biochemical structure to clinical implications.
Structure of human cervical mucus plays a pivotal role in female fertility and protection of reproductive health. Investigation of biochemical and biophysical structure of cervical mucus remains a challenge due to complex structural proteins, high content of oligosaccharides and cyclic variability of its structure. We present the current knowledge on chemical and biophysical features of cervica...
متن کاملMeasurement of fecal lactoferrin as a marker of fecal leukocytes.
While diarrheal illnesses are extremely common in communities and hospitals throughout the world, an etiologic diagnosis may be expensive and cost-ineffective. Although the presence of fecal leukocytes are helpful in the diagnosis and specific therapy of inflammatory diarrheas, this requires prompt microscopic examination of fecal specimens (preferably obtained in a cup rather than a swab or di...
متن کاملFecal lactoferrin as a marker of fecal leukocytes.
We read with interest the report of Guerrant et al. (1). It was stated that the fecal lactoferrin assay may be a useful diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with acute diarrhea syndrome (ADS), offering some advantages over microscopic examination for fecal leukocytes. We would like to comment on this and report data from a study carried out in Chile in which fecal lactoferrin was measu...
