Improved method for estimating blood sugar.

An improved dinitrosalicylic acid method for determining blood and cerebrospinal fluid sugar levels.

A development of a technique for estimating sugar in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, etc., is described, using 3:5-dinitrosalicylic acid (D.N.S.A.) originally introduced by Sumner (1921). Results can be obtained in less than 10 minutes if required. The method is well suited to the estimation of random blood sugars and the handling of diabetic clinic requirements in hospital laboratories. The reagen...

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of blood sugar by phenylhydrazine Hydrochlorlde

A Time Method for Determination of Reducing Sugars, and Its Application to Analysis of Blood and Urine

During the development of a gasometric method (1928) for the determination of sugar we noticed that if an excess of sugar was added to the yellow ferricyanide reagent the resulting mixture during the heating became colorless. It has proved possible to use measurement of the time required for the decolorization of ferricyanide as a basis for estimating the sugar content of blood or urine. The me...

A brief evaluation for pre-estimating the severity of gallstone pancreatitis.

CONTEXT An uncomplicated and easy-to-use method of pre-estimating the severity of gallstone pancreatitis shortly after admission was required in order to direct clinicians for monitoring and/or transferring to a specialized center. OBJECTIVE To determine the role of brief assessment in pre-estimating the severity of gallstone pancreatitis at admission. PATIENTS Fifty-eight patients with gal...

An Improved Big Bang-Big Crunch Algorithm for Estimating Three-Phase Induction Motors Efficiency

Nowadays, the most generated electrical energy is consumed by three-phase induction motors. Thus, in order to carry out preventive measurements and maintenances and eventually employing high-efficiency motors, the efficiency evaluation of induction motors is vital. In this paper, a novel and efficient method based on Improved Big Bang-Big Crunch (I-BB-BC) Algorithm is presented for efficiency e...

A Simplified Method for Estimation of Sugar in the Blood

(December 1927). That normal blood contains sugar has been known from the time of Claude Bernard, and since then numerous methods have been devised by workers all over the world for estimating its amount, many of these being obsolete now. Formerly, the estimation of sugar in blood used to be a tedious procedure; but nowadays it is a much more simple process. But even so, nearly all the methods ...
