The Serum Proteins of Healthy Adult Nigerians

The serum proteins of healthy adult Nigerians.

Chemical and electrophoretic analyses of the serum proteins have become routine diagnostic investigations in many hospital laboratories. The albumin/globulin ratio decreases in a variety of disease conditions, including liver diseases, the nephrotic syndrome, protein malnutrition, myeloma, etc. It is therefore very important that the normal variations in the albumin-globulin ratio should be wel...

BINDING OF NAPROXEN TO SERUM PROTEINS IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS AND HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS

A three-fold decrease of the in vitro ability of serum proteins to bind naproxen was shown in patients with cirrhosis of the liver compared to healthy individuals. This decrease was caused by quantitative changes in serum proteins in the sera of patients with liver damage. Lower doses of naproxen are therefore suggested in the treatment of patients with liver dysfunction.

Variations of peak expiratory flow rate with anthropometric determinants in a population of healthy adult nigerians.

Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured in 300 healthy adult male and female staff and students of the University of Benin, Benin City, and the College of Education, Ekiadolor, near Benin. The variations of Peak Expiratory Flow Rate with respect to height (ht), weight (wt) and chest circumference (cc) were determined in these subjects. PEFR values fell within the middle to the lower limit...
