Simple method for diagnosing protein-losing enteropathies.

Canine Protein Losing Enteropathies

ABST RACT Protein-losing enteropathies are traditionally thought of as being diseases with a very poor prognosis. While this is often true, there are subsets of these patients which, if diagnosed in a timely fashion, may often have a relatively good prognosis. Lymphangiectasia in particular is a disease that is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed so late that it is no longer treatable. Clinicians s...

Protein-losing Enteropathies – Hypoalbuminemia Is Not Always Terrible

Tropical Enteropathies

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The term 'tropical enteropathy' originated in observations in the 1960s that small intestinal morphology and function differed in the tropics from the norms found in temperate climates. It was subsequently shown that this enteropathy is more closely related to environmental conditions than latitude, and it was re-labelled 'environmental enteropathy'. It is now recognised that ...

a simple method for instructing protein structure for medical students: a case review

in the process of learning basic biochemistry, as in any other area, much extra class work is required for students before basic concepts, such as those concerning protein structure and properties, are firmly settled. to reach this end we have developed a simple instruction method to teach protein structure in biochemistry courses for medical students. the objectives of this method are to illus...

A simple method for inferring strengths of protein-protein interactions.

Various computational methods have been proposed for inference of protein-protein interactions since protein-protein interaction plays an essential role in many cellular processes. One of well-studied approaches is to infer protein-protein interactions based on domain-domain interactions. To extend this approach, we proposed a method called LPNM to infer ratios of interactions, which outperform...
