seromucoid estimations in the investigation of haematemesis

The role of seromucoid estimations in the investigation of haematemesis.

This paper reports the role of seromucoid estimations in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Oesophageal varices, peptic ulcer, and carcinoma of the stomach tend to be divided by low, normal, and high levels respectively.

Content and composition of the mucoprotein fraction of human serum (seromucoid) in disease with special reference to hematologic disorders.

Electrophoretic studies of the vitamin B12-binding protein of normal and chronic myelogenous leukemia serum.

The serum in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) has an increased concentration of vitamin B12 (1, 2) and an increased capacity to bind added vitamin B,2 either in vivo (3-5) or in vitro (2, 6, 7). The vitamin B12 of normal and CML serum moves with the a-globulins when serum is electrophoresed at pH 8.6 (1, 8, 9). The seromucoid, the fraction of serum containing glycoproteins which comprises abo...

HAEMATEMESIS AND MELAENA. WHEN BLOOD IS ADDING SOME EXTRA COLOUR Alexander J. German BVSc PhD CertSAM DipECVIM-CA MRCVS

Introduction Haematemesis is defined as vomiting blood, and represents a small, but significant, proportion of cases that present with vomiting. Melaena, defined as darkened faeces due to the presence of blood pigments, often accompanies haematemesis. The differential diagnoses for both signs are similar (Table 1) although, if haematemesis is present, the site of haemorrhage will be cranial to ...

Seromucoid Fraction Patterns of Individuals with Pneumonia or Leukemia

Chromatographic separations on DEAE cellulose have been carried out on the seromucoid fraction from forty-one normal individuals and twenty-three patients horpitalized with unilateral pneumococcal pneumonia. During the acute stages of their illness, all twenty-three patients showed a very marked difference in their seromucoid pattern as contrasted to the control group, both groups being compara...
