Let us now revisit the patient MS. The clinician performed sharp debridement of the devitalized tissue with a scalpel. The remaining slough was removed using enzyme therapy--Santyl Collagenase, for example. The debridement revealed a stage III ulcer. The wound was irrigated daily with normal saline and lightly packed with a hydrogel-impregnated dressing (to provide moisture). The macerated skin...

Intestinal origin alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) in plasma was measured by a sensitive immunocapture assay in 104 jaundiced patients--84 with intrahepatic and 20 with post-hepatic jaundice. Increased enzyme activities were observed in those with intrahepatic disease and subnormal values in those with post-hepatic disease. At a discriminant level intestinal origin ALP showed a diagnostic se...

a bstract background: the improved physical action following administration of supplements to bodybuilders was supported by changes in laboratory parameters. despite the fact that these supplements are sometimes associated both advantage and side effects, this study were conducted for the purpose of evaluating the possible effects of some commonly used supplements in bodybuilders on the hematol...

Ribonuclease P is an ancient enzyme that cleaves pre-tRNAs to generate mature 5' ends. It contains an essential RNA subunit in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, but the degree to which the RNA subunit relies on proteins to supplement catalysis is highly variable. The eukaryotic nuclear holoenzyme has recently been found to contain almost twenty times the protein content of the bacterial enzymes, ...

Background Copper is one of the most critical of the essential trace minerals required by animals. It is vital in the body as a component of (or cofactor for) enzyme systems involved in iron transport and metabolism, red blood cell formation and immune function. Included in almost every trace mineral premix (blended to provide mineral supplementation to animal rations) is enough copper to satis...
