The Liver: New Functional, Prognostic and Diagnostic Tests

Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers in Liver Cirrhosis

Liver cirrhosis is the final stage of all chronic liver diseases. Although cirrhosis is a pathological concept, the diagnosis of this entity is frequently based on clinical criteria that mainly reflect the consequences of increased portal pressure. Once the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis is performed, the time to reach a clinical situation of end-stage liver disease and a need for liver transplan...

the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

Assessing the Validity of Diagnostic Tests

Effect of silver-cobalt nanoparticle on functional tests and liver tissue changes : an in vitro study

Silver-cobalt nanoparticles are used in medicine. In this study, the effects of silver-cobalt nanoparticles on functional tests and liver tissue changes in adult male rats were investigated. 28 adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were divided into 4 groups of 7. Control group, Experimental group1 received 25mg / kg of silver-cobalt nanoparticles (AgCo NPs) in which silver nanoparticle (Ag...

Diagnostic value of routine liver tests.

In 131 patients on a medical service and 97 patients on a surgical service, in whom a diagnosis of hepatobiliary disease was verified in the hospital, the diagnostic value of routine liver tests performed soon after admission was evaluated by stepwise discriminant analysis. By measurements of alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatases, gamma globulin, prothrombin time, bilirubin, and album...
