abstract objective: to investigate the anesthesia-postoperative awakening time (at) of hepatitis- related cirrhosis patients and their relations to grading scores, portal venous pressure (pvp), prealbumin (pa), and age, to predict postoperative at and provide a basis for adjustment of anesthetic doses during operation. methods: atotal of 71 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and hypersplenism at a...

Introduction: The incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients is reported to be high. In particular, patients with esophageal cancer are prone to malnutrition, due to preoperative digestive system dysfunctions and short-term non-oral feeding postoperatively. Selection of an appropriate method for feeding in the postoperative period is important in these patients.   Materials and Methods:...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine serum prealbumin (PA) levels in patients with tuberculosis and lung cancer, and to evaluate the correlations of serum PA levels with clinicopathological characteristics. METHOD Total 760 patients were included in the study: 320 patients with tuberculosis, 320 patients with lung cancer, and 120 healthy subjects. Serum PA was detected using a bioch...

Bradykinin is generated in human plasma by the action of plasma kallikrein upon kininogen (1, 2). Although Hageman factor is required for the formation of kallikrein (3, 4), the role of Hageman factor in the formation of the prekallikrein activator is not clearly delineated. Kaplan and Austen (5) have described a prekallikrein activator present in human serum which has a prealbumin mobility on ...

This book contains a collection of 26 papers that were presented at an International Symposium in Glasgow, Scotland, August, 1974. It is divided into two sections entitled "Metabolism and Binding" (15 papers) and "Thyroid Hormone Function in Clinical Investigation" (11 papers). The first section begins with an authoritative review by J. Robbins on the structure and function of serum thyroxine-t...

BACKGROUND Several studies have pointed out the influence of nutritional parameters and/or indices of inflammation on morbidity and mortality. Often, these conditions coexist, and the relative importance of poor nutritional status and chronic inflammation in terms of predicting clinical outcomes in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients has not been clarified. METHODS We undertook a prospective ...

PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate the effects of total parenteral nutrition (PN) using different lipid emulsions in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHODS Fifty-two patients were randomized to receive soybean oil + medium chain triglycerides (MCT) (group I), soybean oil + olive oil (group II), soybean oil + olive oil + fish oil (group III) as a lipid source.
