Objectives: To find the frequency of hyponatremia in decompensated chronic liver disease patients. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department Medicine, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Period: October 2022 to March 2023.

Ventricular CSF glucose, total protein, protein electrophoresis, IgG, IgA, IgM and CSF cytology were determined in thirty seven patients with brain tumours. CSF glucose was unchanged and total protein was significantly high. Protein electrophoresis showed higher albumin and gamma globulin fractions. Mean IgG and IgA were significantly higher (P less than 0.001) in malignant tumours than in beni...

Garlic contains various nutrients and healthful ingredients. The content of garlic products is closely related to their processing methods, each compound has specific biological effects. Allicin, a heat labile compound, considered the most important factor in garlic. powder commonly prepared by subjecting raw thermal before being grounded into powder,and it interest compare activity with fish. ...

,Our experiments suggest that when the blood sedimentation rate is raised, there is no alteration in the chemical structure of the proteins. A possible exception to this is the Bence-Jones protein [Devine, 1941]. Geottsch [1936] found that nephritic total globulin was immunologically different from the normal, and Alving [1936] found changes in the cystine content of total albumin in nephrosis....

Heavy metals are the source of substantial environmental and health problems. Vanadium pentaoxide (V2O5) is an environmental and industrial pollutant that affects body physiology via the food, drinking water and through the air. Toxicological study of V2O5, following acute (1day) and subacute (7, 14, 21 days) exposure, alter behaviour and serum biochemistry in Wistar rats in terms of significan...

The proportional bias of four methods frequently used for determining low concentrations of protein was evaluated with human serum protein fractions (Cohn Fractions II, III, IV, and V). Each fraction was assigned a protein concentration value as determined by the biuret method, calibrated with purified human serum albumin monomer. All four methods (Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye-binding, the meth...

A 67-year-old man presented with dyspepsia for 4 months. Physical examination revealed a large nontender mass in the right upper quadrant of abdomen. Blood pressure was 120/80 mmHg. Laboratory investigations were notable for elevation of serum creatinine 2.1 mg/dL (normal 0.6-1.6 mg/dL). Urinalysis was normal. Blood leucocyte count was 6.3x103 /dL with 53% neutrophils, 38% lymphocytes, and 6% m...

To characterize and compare the protein quality of ten durum wheat genotypes grown under three cropping modalities in Algeria (subhumid Algiers, subhumid-semiarid Constantine, semiarid Sétif), profile their kernels was performed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (SE-HPLC RP-HPLC). The “variety” factor has a major impact, mainly on insoluble fraction (Fi), gliadin/glutenin ratio, large s...

Ten females and ten males of each of the Rhenish, Italian and Landes breeds of geese were force fed for four weeks. Blood samples were collected from the birds at weekly intervals beginning from the week before force feeding, the total protein and its fractions, total lipid and cholesterol were determined in the faultless blood serum samples. As regards total proteins level, the values did not ...
