The relationship between iron deficiency and protein deficiency and infestation of the rat with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis was investigated. There was a significant delay in the expulsion of N. brasiliensis from the small intestine of both iron deficient and protein deficient animals and those with a combined deficiency of iron and protein. Iron repletion returned the time of wor...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early outcome of endovascular management in patients with iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) and protein C and/or S deficiency. Between September 2000 and January 2003, catheter-directed thrombolysis was performed in 11 patients with a diagnosis of acute iliofemoral DVT: 7 with protein C and/or S d...

Heterozygosity for protein C deficiency is associated with thromboembolic episodes, but clinical symptoms are nonrandomly distributed among protein C deficient families. This finding has led to the provisional definition of clinically dominant and clinically recessive protein C deficiency. We report here the molecular basis of hereditary, clinically dominant protein C deficiency in a panel of 4...

Protein deficiency was reported to cause normocytic normochromic anaemia in rhesus monkeys (Sood et al., 1965). Adams et al., (1967) were impressed by the similarity between the anaemia in protein deficient rhesus monkeys and anaemia in kwashiorkor. Ghitis et al., {1963) and Allen & Dean {1965) were also of the opinion that protein deficiency was an important cause of anaemia in kwashiorkor. Th...
