Bu:ns patients me i11 need of extra attention in spe­cialied intensive care units, specially as due to their sustai­ned burns and resultant circulatory upset their life is in danger. A severe burn is classified as over 30"{, body sur­face in adults and over 100";, in children.  Two types of shock are encountered in burns:  1)Hypovolaemic shock during the first three days. followed by;  2)Se...

The exact structure of the type-I11 isomer penta-, hexaand hepta-carboxylic porphyrinogens that are involved as intermediates in the conversion of uroporphyrinogen I11 into coproporphyrinogen 111 have been elucidated (Jackson et al., 1976). The corresponding porphyrins are to be found in the urine of patients suffering from the porphyrin-overproduction diseases symptomatic porphyria and congeni...

This paper examines the determinants of non-COVID excess deaths during COVID pandemic between January and June 2020. These are extra occurring which not directly attributable to COVID. While emerging literature deaths, few look at though early estimates suggest they enough be seen as a in their own count. We investigate impact factors including cases, lockdown stringency, economic support searc...

Inhibition of prothrombinase by antithrombin 111 (ATIII) and heparin was investigated in a continuous-flow system. Phospholipid-coated capillaries, containing phospholipid-bound factor Xa and factor Va, were perfused with 1.0 pmol/L prothrombin and 0.5 nmol/L factor Va. At 25°C and a flow rate of 32 pL/min (shear rate 28 seconds-‘) the steady-state rates of prothrombin conversion depended linea...

a-Thrombin derivatives obtained either by site-specific modification at lysyl residues (phosphopyridoxylated) or by limited trypsinolysis (yT-thrombin) were compared to correlate structural modifications with the functional reactivity toward fibrin(ogen) and heparin. a-Thrombin phosphopyridoxylated in the absence of heparin (unprotected) showed approximately 2 mol of label incorporated/mol of t...

than 30pg/g fresh wt., only a small proportion of the zinc was associated with the lowmolecular-weight components of fraction 111. Increases in liver zinc concentration above this value were largely accounted for by an increase in the zinc content of this fraction. No similar modifications of the zinc content of the higher-molecular-weight components (fractions I and 11) occurred in response to...

Sudden cardiac death is a significant cause of mortality in the United States, with an estimated 400,000 cases per year (1 1). Discovery of an effective antiarrhythmic drug capable of reducing the incidence of sudden cardiac death by as little as 10% would result in the saving of approximately 40,000 lives annually. Obviously, there is a need for an effective form of therapy capable of safely t...

A frequency domain black box model for power transistors is proposed. It can accurately predict the behavior of the transistor for a one tone excitation with arbitrary fundamental and harmonic impedances present at the output. The model parameters can be extracted out of a limited set of “nonlinear network analyzer” measurements. Both simulated as well as measured results are given. Introductio...
