Erythrocyte fragility in hyperthyroid patients

Erythrocyte mechanical fragility test.

Erythrocyte osmotic fragility in hyperthermia-susceptible swine.

Anaesthetic-induced malignant hyperpyrexia in humans appears to result from some intrinsic abnormality of muscle (Satnick, 1969; Harrison et aL, 1970; King, Denborough and Zapf, 1972). Evidence points to this defect being in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Kalow et al., 1970). A certain strain of Landrace pigs manifests a similar condition and has been used as an animal experimental model for the i...

Electrodermal Responding in Hyperthyroid Patients.

The effects of hyperthyroidism on electrodermal habituation and responsiveness were examined in 43 hyperthyroid patients who were divided in two groups (medicated and unmedicated). In a comparison of 43 hyperthyroid and 43 normal controls; among patients with hyperthyroidism a great number of nonresponders were found. The distributions of SCR in habituation series in both group were almost the ...

Neuropsychological findings in hyperthyroid patients.

AIM to evaluate attention, concentration, memory changes and executive function inpatients with hyperthyroidism compared with normal thyroid function patients. METHODS a cross sectional study was conducted in 21 patients (14F, 7M) with symptoms of sweating, sleep disturbance, fine tremor, headache, palpitation, nervousness, forgetfulness and diarrhea. Neurological examination found that 2 pat...

Studies on retinitis pigmentosa in man. II. Erythrocyte osmotic fragility.

The osmotic fragility of erythrocytes from patients with genetically classified forms of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has been studied. The mean fragility was increased in autosomal dominantly inherited RP, where the dystrophy was expressed regionally in the retina, with both rods and cones affected. In contrast it was normal in patients with the dominantly inherited disease, which leads to a diff...

Serum Leptin level in Hyperthyroid Female Patients

Objective: To evaluate potential role of serum leptin level in hyperthyroid female patients and find out its relationship with BMI. Setting: Atomic Energy Medical Centre and Basic Medical Sciences Institute, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi. Methods: Serum leptin, FT3, FT4, TSH, serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C were determined in 30 newly diagnosed untreated hypert...
