abstract          background and objectives: concentration low-density lipoprotein (ldl) is one of the strongest indicators of atherosclerosis and predicts the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. ldl measurement accuracy is very important. ldl can be measured directly, such as enzymatic and nephelometry methods or can be calculated using friedewald's formula. despite the development of e...

Bevezetés: Az akut koronáriaszindrómán (ACS) átesett betegek a kardiológia nagy létszámú és egyik legvulnerábilisabb betegcsoportja, akik lipidértékeinek kezelésére minél nagyobb kockázat, annál az elérhető nyereség elv alapján nagyon oda kellene figyelnünk. Célkitűzés: Annak vizsgálata, hogy miként alakultak invazív centrumként működő megyei kórházban COVID-időszak egy éve alatt ACS miatt keze...

with our data and study design. The comment of Kalman and Colker regarding nutrient analysis is also incorrect. Besides the analysis of macronutrients and isoflavones, we also calculated total cholesterol and saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat, as stated in the paper. Soy intake was also known because the only form of soy consumed was the one provided in the test protein (1). R...

OBJECTIVE To compare the Friedewald and modified Friedewald formulae with direct homogeneous assay for serum lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels estimation. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, from June to December 2011. METHODOLOGY Healthy subjects of either gender, from Rawalpindi, aged 18-75 year...

Rather early in studies on influenza immunization in animals as well as in man, it was realized that immunizing effect, as reflected in antibody response induced by the vaccines employed, was limited and of relatively short duration. For these reasons (1) a variety of methods were explored for enhancing and prolonging the protective effect induced by vaccination (2-7). None, however, provided s...

Whether lipid profiles should be measured in the fasting or nonfasting state is a hot topic (1, 2 ). The fasting state is that used conventionally (3, 4 ); however, it would be much simpler for patients worldwide if a lipid profile could be taken at any time of the day, irrespective of the time since and the content of the last meal. In both the US and Europe, LDL cholesterol is currently consi...

Over the last 30 years, since release of the first National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel (NCEP-ATP) Guidelines, LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has been the focus of, and basis for, therapeutic decisions, both for when to start drug therapy and for what goals to achieve (1 ). Although the recent American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guidelines ...

Five methods for the quantification of low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol were compared: ultracentrifugation, electrophoresis, precipitation with polyvinyl sulfate or heparin, and an indirect calculation procedure (Friedewald formula). Excellent agreement of results was obtained with all procedures for 49 of 51 sera. Discrepancies were as much as 1.69 g/L for the remaining two cases, which con...
