Introduction: The frequency of drowning increases with the warming weather, especially in summer months. In this paper, clinical features, radiological imaging and laboratory values three patients who presented to emergency department due near-drowning are discussed comparatively. 
 Case Report: 1 3, advanced life support was applied at scene spontaneous circulation restored. 2 complaint d...

Two hundred and sixteen day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks were allocated into 4 groups to study the impacts of different concentrations (0.0, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) of β-hydroxy-methyl butyrate calcium (β-HMB-Ca), on values of tri-iodothyronin (T3) and tetra-iodothyronin (T4) hormones, liver enzymes [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)], uric acid, peroxide, malondial...

We reviewed the literature regarding the serum levels of the enzymes aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis with and without viral hepatitis. Original articles published up to January 2013 on adult patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis were selected. These articles contained the ...

We investigated the enzyme activity of the blank in the spectrophotometric determination of the aminotransferase activities and aspartate aminotransferase activity. 6 lactate dehydrogenase and 3 malate dehydrogenase preparations from different manufactures and from different organs showed additional and contaminating activity. The additional activity depends upon the 2-oxoglutarate concentratio...

1. Partially purified preparations of rat brain 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase were inhibited in a time-dependent manner by ethanolamine O-sulphate. The inhibition was not reversed by dialysis. 2. The inhibitor formed an initial reversible complex with the enzyme (K(i)=4.4x10(-4)m) and the rate of inactivation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (k=7.15x10(-4)s(-1)). The inclusion of 4-amino...

Objective: We aimed to investigate the predictive value of first-trimester aspartate aminotransferase/platelet count ratio index (APRI) and aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase for intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy (ICP).
 Material Methods: The clinical data patients who admitted Obstetrics Department Umraniye Training Research Hospital, between 2015-2020 were analyzed retrospecti...

BACKGROUND Globally, chronic B viral hepatitis (HBV) is a major health problem. Obesity is a common problem among patients with HBV. Several studies have reported that obesity is an important risk factor that alters immune system response in individuals with no underlying cause of liver disease. However, there is a strong association between BMI and the human immune system among HBV patients. ...

The synthesis and release of alanine and glutamine were investigated with an intact rat epitrochlaris muscle preparation. This preparation will maintain on incubation for up to 6 hours, tissue levels of phosphocreatine, ATP, ADP, lactate, and pyruvate closely approximating those values observed in gastrocnemius muscles freeze-clamped in uiuo. The epitrochlaris preparation releases amino acids i...
