The serum chemistry in uncomplicated kwashiorkor.

Serum protein and transferrin determinations to distinguish kwashiorkor from iron deficiency anaemia.

Masawe, A. E. J., and Rwabwogo-Atenyi, J. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 927. Serum protein and transferrin determinations to distinguish kwashiorkor from iron deficiency anaemia. Serum proteins and serum transferrin levels were studied in 38 African children of whom 10 were normal controls, 18 had severe iron deficiency anaemia, and 10 had kwashiorkor. The results showed that th...

Serum cholesterol esterifying activity in kwasiorkor.

Serum lipid levels were determined in 30 children with kwashiorkor and in 30 healthy children of comparable age. The serum concentrations of unesterified and esterified cholesterol, albumin and the cholesterol esterifying activity (CEA) were also measured in children with kwashiorkor before treatment and after recovery. All serum lipid fractions were significantly lower in kwashiorkor than in t...

The binding of thiopentone to kwashiorkor serum.

The binding of thiopentone to normal and kwashiorkor serum has been investigated. It has been confirmed that thiopentone is bound to albumin predominantly. In kwashiorkor serum, less binding to albumin occurs, but secondary binding sites appear. The significance of these observations is discussed.

بررسی غلظت سرمی تروپونین I در بیماران مبتلا به تشنج غیرعارضه‌دار صرعی سالم از نظر قلبی

   Background & Aim : Sudden Unexpected Death after Epilepsy (SUDEP) is one of potentially lethal side effects of the seizures. Cardiac arrhythmia and myocardial damage have been postulated as underlying causes. On the other hand, serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level is one of the most specific cardiac markers for myocardial damage. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the l...
