THORACOTOMY: A SIMPLIFIED TECHNIC

Simplified technic for estimation of serum lipoprotein cholesterol.

114 RED 0 AND SUDAN BLACK B are widely used for the estimation of serum lipoproteins separated by zone electrophoresis on fixed media. Numerous studies (1-4) have demonstrated that such measurements may be subject to significant inconsistencies. Many sources of error may be eliminated when lipoprotein measurements are made in terms of a particular lipid component such as cholesterol (5). Langan...

Simplified technic for the determination of serum protein-bound iodine.

A simplified technic for the determination of serum protein-bound iodine (PBI) is presented. Endogenouslylabeled 1131 PBI is completely recovered. The technic is basedon the method of Barker et al. (1) and includes the following modifications: The number of washesof the precipitated serum proteins are decreased. Unashed iodide standards are used in a sodium carbonate solution rather than an int...

A simplified technic of spectrography and its application to the study of intracellular hemoglobin.

A quantitative Rebuck technic.

Simplified rapid technic for the extraction and determination of serum cholesterol without saponification.

HE VALUE OF CHOLESTEROL DETERMINATIONS as an aid to diagnosis and treatment in a variety of clinical states, such as arteriosclerosis, biliary obstruction, diabetes, liver disease, and nephrosis, is well recognized. However, clinical laboratories are often unable to keep pace with the growing demand for these determinations because of the laborious and exacting nature of the more reliable techn...
