THE ONE-STAGE PROTHROMBIN CONSUMPTION TEST

The prothrombin consumption test; its clinical and theoretic implications.

Prothrombin consumption in haemophiliac kindred.

In 1911 Addis noted that patients with haemophilia are unable to use prothrombin. This observation has been extended by Milstone (1948) and Quick (1947) with the development by the latter of the prothrombin consumption test and its later modification (Quick and Favre-Gilly, 1949). It has been hoped that this test would prove a diagnostic aid in the recognition of haemophilia, especially in thos...

Thromboplastin Concentration on the 1 - Stage Prothrombin Test in the Control of Anticoagulant Therapy

S 197 was conspicuously decreased; in myxedema, increased beyond the normal range; in nephrosis, increased markedly; while in struma simplex, it was within the normal range. The number of basophils was in close correlation to the thyroid function and it was normalized with suitable treatments in each case.-K. Al. A TRIBASIC STAIN FOR THE GRANULES OF NIA5T CELLS. R. M.

Standardization of the Quick Prothrombin Test

W ITH increasing use of tests of the prothrombin concentration as an aid in the diagnosis of diseases of the liver and as a guide in vitamin K and dicumarol therapy,’6 it is imperative that the determinations be accurate. There are many ways of measuring the prothrombin concentration and each admits of numerous sources of error. Even when the most careful technic is practiced, appreciable error...

A One-sided Sustainability Test with Multiple Consumption Goods

In an economy with multiple consumption goods (including environmental amenities) that uniquely maximises the present value of utility with constant discounting, constant or falling augmented green net national product, or zero or negative augmented net investment, at any time implies that the economy is unsustainable then. "Augmented" means that time is treated as a productive stock, so augmen...
