Antibodies specifically reacting with platelets only in the presence of EDTA. by the platelet immunofluorescence test. were found in the serum of 20 patients with pseudothrombocytopenia due to in vitro EDTA-dependent platelet agglutination. These antibodies reacted optimally at 0-4’C. In 1 9 patients. IgG antibodies were detected; in 8 patients. 1gM or IgA antibodies were also found. In one pat...

Background: Women undergoing cesarean delivery are 5-20 fold greater risk of infection than women vaginal delivery. Infectious complications after an important cause maternal morbidity, increase in hospital stay and cost treatment. The use antibiotic prophylaxis for section can reduce the incidence postoperative infectious morbidity.Material Methods: This was a prospective case control study in...

We recommend that routine screening of sera for immunoglobulin disorders consist of a combination of electrophoresis in agarose and immunochemical quantitation of serum lgG, IgA, and 1gM. Abnormalities detected by this procedure may be classified as (a) immune deficiencies, (b) polyclonal hyperimmunoglobulinemias, or (c) monoclonal immunoglobuli n disorders. The analyst can contribute to the di...

Forty patients with Waldenstr#{246}m’s macroglobulinemia were evaluated for criteria of diagnosis, clinical presentation and course. response to therapy, and appropriateness of the classification primary or secondary. A wide spectrum of presentations, course, and complications were present. Thus, the major criteria for diagnosis was a monoclonal 1gM serum protein abnormality present in concentr...

The cytotoxic capability of eosinophils from patients with the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) against a variety of target cells was studied utilizing a 5tCr release assay. A separation technique was developed that reproducibly gave eosinophil suspensions of >90% (in many instances >99%) purity from peripheral differential counts of > 10% eosinophils. The method employed density gradient centr...

The asynchronous systems are the non-deterministic models of the asynchronous circuits from the digital electrical engineering, where non-determinism is a consequence of the fact that modelling is made in the presence of unknown and variable parameters. Such a system is a multi-valued function f that assigns to an (admissible) input u : R! f0; 1gm a set f(u) of (possible) states x : R! f0; 1gn:...

Protective role of Gycyrrhiza glabra rhizomes (roots) at three dose levels (100, 75, & 50 mg/kg/bw) against sublethaldose (300 mg/kg/bw) of acetaminophen (paracetamol) induced hepatorenal damage has been assessed in mice. Parameters of study were glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), billirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as liver function tests, crea...
